Whether it's attacking John Boehner for his "nuking an ant" referece regarding Dodd's bailout bill masquerading as finance reform, or now Sharon Angle's lemonade from lemons analogy, Rachel Maddow illustrates exactly how desperate the left has become. Unable to discredit the message, they turn to attacking the metaphors their opponents use to get their message through to an electorate long conditioned by the mainstream media. Here's the full quote from Angle, which I give credit to Maddow for showing (even though she must not have read it), which you won't see on most left wing blogs.
ANGLE: I think that two wrongs don’t make a right. And I have been in the situation of counseling young girls, not 13 but 15, who have had very at risk, difficult pregnancies. And my counsel was to look for some alternatives, which they did. And they found that they had made what was really a lemon situation into lemonade. Well one girl in particular moved in with the adoptive parents of her child, and they both were adopted. Both of them grew up, one graduated from high school, the other had parents that loved her and she also graduated from high school. And I’ll tell you the little girl who was born from that very poor situation came to me when she was 13 and said ‘I know what you did thank you for saving my life.’ So it is meaningful to me to err on the side of life.First of all, it's pathetic how the left keeps bringing up the rape and incest factor every time abortion is discussed. Only a fraction of one percent of rape and incest victims become pregnant. That means that for every abortion for rape or incest, there are 25,000 for convenience. It's like a football coach losing sleep over which play he'll have to call in case his fourth string left tackle ever has to play quarterback.
Most importantly, Angle counseled young girls to look for alternatives. Alternative is defined by Merriam-Webster as "offering or expressing a choice; different from the usual or conventional." Offering a choice. Hmm...choice...where have we heard that word before? Oh yea, pro-choice. Looking for alternatives, isn't that what being pro-choice is all about? Evidently not. Just as Bart Stupak almost single-handedly disproved the myth of the pro-life democrat (while at the same time proving himself a fool), Rachel Maddow proves once again what we've known for years; that pro-choice is pro-abortion. But it's easier to attack a metaphor when the political position you've defended so long for becomes exposed for the deception it truly is.
