‘Left, Right & Center’: Prop. 8, Jobs and Spanish Getaways

kcrw.com

With the job market in a scary slump and a slow economy to boot, President Obama may be in for a politically treacherous time. Is Prop. 8 a human rights or a moral issue? And what’s with all the hubbub about Michelle Obama in Spain? These pressing issues and more get a proper mulling over by Robert Scheer, Tony Blankley and Matt Miller on this week’s “Left, Right & Center.”

I find Tony’s comments hypocritical, predictable and boring, and I think he is
given far too much deference and air time on this show.

Tony’s “defense” of prop 8 should be preserved as exhibit A in any case against the
“intellectual integrity” of the right. In one fell swoop, he has created a compendium
of logical fallacies, lame straw men arguments, false historical precedents,
pathetically weak analogies, transparent bigotry, and knee jerk rhetorical impulses.
The only thing he omitted were false statistics and a few erroneous interpretations
of badly conducted public opinion polls. Ugly, in the extreme.

I don’t get it. Tony wants to keep taxes on rich people low while cutting public assistance programs for the poor, elderly, and disabled, whittling education funding,etc. On what principle does Tony base his apparent hatred for the non-wealthy?

Tony wants to keep the Bush tax breaks. If they were such a great idea where are the jobs they were supposed to create for the past 10 years?
