Baby-kissing tradition faces test in congressional race

by George Bennett | November 23rd, 2009

Graber with granddaughter

Democratic congressional hopeful Ben Graber features his six-month-old granddaughter in campaign signs and has toted her to political events. The head of the Kings Point Democratic Club isn’t keen on the idea.

Read about it in this week’s Politics column (third item).

Also: Palm Beach County GOP boss Sid Dinerstein backs a Democrat and a former Connecticut Senate candidate takes a “peripheral look” at a South Florida congressional seat.

   What is the caption on the sign, “The one that got away?” It is very creepy that an abortionist would go around with a baby. Do you think that it is his guilty conscience?

   Hey Enough….check your definitions, you can try webster.com to look up abortionist then proabortionist and while you are at it look up libel and consider carefully what you put in writing.

   Hey A, a pro-abortionist is someone who is for abortion. An abortionist is someone who performs abortions. Graber performs abortions, therefore, well you know the rest. Libel is when you say something that is not factual against someone who is not running for public office. Graber is running for public office and by taking his baby grandchild with him to campaign events to try to evoke emotion opens him up to public scrutiny.

   Hey- look way back in Abortionist Graber’s past for when he failed to report the sexual abuse of a little girl whose dad was raping her. Is that who we want for Congress?
