Liberals have a propensity for cannibalizing their own. This behavioral trait is entertaining for those on the right and just might cause the Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory this November. Organizations like NARAL Pro-Choice America and Hamas are weakening the eventual Democrat presidential nominee.
Hillary Clinton has been a high profile abortion rights activist since 1992. As a strident liberal who fiercely advocates unrestricted abortion, Mrs. Clinton is the quintessential NARAL candidate. She is the model of professional success that feminist groups hold up as the epitome of modern womanhood. She is a talented multi-tasker: a loving mother, an accomplished lawyer and political leader.
Yet, last week NARAL endorsed Barack Obama for president. Many diehard feminists in the organization were outraged. They asked why NARAL would weigh in for Mr. Obama when Mrs. Clinton desperately needed their support. She had earned it. But the answer was simple: Mr. Obama is to the left of Mrs. Clinton.
NARAL faces an increasingly hard sell and its betrayal of Mrs. Clinton has fractured its base. New ultrasound technology allows us to see babies moving inside the womb, sucking their thumbs, and opening their eyes. New medical breakthroughs have proven the unborn feel pain, and even get hiccups. With these developments, NARAL and its allies desperately need a pro-abortion president to defend their demand for unrestricted abortion.
The NARAL insult to Mrs. Clinton added to the injury already inflicted on the left’s chances this year by Hamas. Recently, Hamas embarrassed Mr. Obama by essentially endorsing him for president. The organization’s North American representative Ahmed Yousef told WABC radio that the terrorist group wanted Mr. Obama to beat John McCain in the fall election.
No candidate for president relishes being endorsed by terrorists who call for the downfall of America. It naturally raises questions as to why Hamas thinks Mr. Obama would be less troublesome to their radical agenda than his competitors.
These two endorsements hurt Senator Obama.
