Whitacre D_WI's very first piece of hate mail!

[eyesroll]

Reproduced verbatim:

I read the article in today's news/sun in Spfld.I read that you went
to
St. Bernard's,but I assume you are not a practicing catholic since you
are
pro-choice. I also just checked your website where you state that since
only
a woman can become pregnant then it is her sole right to make the
choice.
Please explain to me how a woman becomes pregnant completely by
herself. Is
there no other person involved? If so, do not they have any rights? I
find
you extremely naïve!!! And by the way,please show me where in the
constitution there is a so-called "right to privacy".Roe vs. wade was a
rape
of the constitution by left-wing liberal judges

1. Does the Constittution say anything about abortions?

In fact, are women's rights mentioned at all in there? I think not.

What an idiot.

[GOPisEvil]

2. Wait until this person finds out that he married, gasp, a jew!

Hey, at least he isn't being ignored! :D

3. Unfortunately (or fortunately), this guy isn't a constituent, and the

article didn't mention me at all.

(Of course, my very Jewish maiden name is right there on the Web site and blog, so....)

4. Vince should just reply that he's not just a left-wing,

Constitution-raping abortionist...he's a also a member!

[Blue-Jay]

5. Pretty tame for hate mail. No profanity & good spelling...

At least you all can see what we in Springfield are up against, though. The up-side is that we're a big union town (Navistar/Int'l Harvester). I do believe that we were one of the few Ohio Dem counties in the last general election, if only barely.

On a different note: Nice pic of Vince in the paper today. If Stacie & Vince don't mind, I'll scan it, and post it here later tonight. Unfortunately, right now I have to get to rehearsal.

7. Go for it, Jason!

Of course...

didn't they tear the Navistar complex down?

[HereSince1628]

6. Stupid "literalist" interpretation

What does being secure in you home and papers against unlawful searches ... mean if it doesn't mean privacy?

Oh if only the consitution had been written in HTML we could have had hyperlinks to "equivalent terms and definitions" as well as a record of the lawmakers intent.

8. My favorite...

was when he called the 1973 Court "liberal" and "left-wing."

[JohnKleeb]

9. Warren Burger and Harry Blackmun and Lewis Powell

What liberals ;), the first two tended to be conservative and Powell was a moderate.
The only liberals who were on that decison were Douglas and Marshall I think. I am also a pro choice left wing Catholic.
