On Thursday’s Situation Room on CNN the legislation came up again.

And, like last time, Carville was asked about it.

But Carville, obviously not wanting to the debate the issue, or look into it at all, redounded to the standard effort of the demagogue, attacking the messenger, ad hominem-style.

Was Carville not moved at all by the allegations of not protecting babies who survived abortions? Was he not persuaded to look into it at all? It wouldn’t have been hard for him or a junior research team to check all this out–it’s well documented on the web and in Carol Costello’s report above.

Instead, Carville simply says the person who reported it was fired.

He means pro-life hero and nurse Jill Stanek. Hmmmm. Is Carville automatically dismissing whistleblowers? That’s a new position for the Left. Can’t you think of about half a dozen movies dedicated to such whistle blowers who were dismissed from work or given a hard time at work because they dared speak truth about corrupt power. So much for them, Carville has given the corporations and government actors who dislike what the brave employees do a new argument: Pretense works.

Interestingly, another well-known Democratic operative, Bob Beckel has looked into this and said: “It is the most difficult example you put forward on Obama.”
