Richard Cohen: A Moron and a Liar

Richard Cohen is an Idiot September 19th, 2006

“I say this not because I agree with McCain across the board — not on abortion, for sure, and not on Iraq, and not with his bellicose statements regarding North Korea — but because he embodies a quality for which the country yearns: integrity. He is a man of his word.”

The execrable Richard Cohen is a liar of the highest order.

Cohen on abortion:

“I no longer see abortion as directly related to sexual freedom or feminism, and I no longer see it strictly as a matter of personal privacy, either. It entails questions about life — maybe more so at the end of the process than at the beginning, but life nonetheless.

Conservatives — and some liberals — have long argued that the right to an abortion ought to be regulated by states. They have a point. My guess is that the more populous states would legalize it, the smaller ones would not, and most women would be protected. he prospect of some women traveling long distances to secure an abortion does not cheer me — I’m pro-choice, I repeat – but it would relieve us all from having to defend a Supreme Court decision whose reasoning has not held up.”

As I wrote in the previous piece, Cohen ignore the reality that many women cannot afford to drive long distances to obtain an abortion because they don’t even have a fucking car. So yes, Cohen is pro-choice: but only for women who can afford it.

“Not on Iraq?” Richard Cohen explicitly endorsed the war on Iraq,/a>. It was only early this year that he tried to hop on the antiwar bandwagon.

As for Mr. McCain being a man of his word, why is he now embracing the very right-wing fundamentalist Christians like Jerry Falwell and Bob Jones University he condemned in 2004?

Cohen, as usual, has shit for brains.
