Seventeen pro-life Democrats write Terry McAuliffe a letter asking him to put a link up on the DNC website to the ‘Democrats for Life of America” website. Currently, the DNC has 261 links on their website. McAuliffe’s response:
.McAuliffe wrote to one of the 17, Rep. Gene Taylor, D-Mississippi, on June 24, stating, “I do not think it would be appropriate to use official party resources such as the DNC website on behalf of organizations whose purpose is to reverse the current platform and/or to enact legislation that contradicts that platform.”
Here is the official Democrat platform:
“We also recognize that members of our party have deeply held and sometimes differing views on issues of personal conscience like abortion and capital punishment. We view this diversity as a source of strength, not a sign of weakness, and we welcome into our ranks all Americans who may hold differing positions on these and other issues. Recognizing that tolerance is a virtue, we are committed to resolving our differences in a spirit of civility, hope and mutual respect.”
As Mark Shields noted, “Baloney, B.S. and worse.”

For the record, I don’t think McAuliffe is very good, and this isn’t the only example.
