The Times Exploits Justice O'Connor's Husband's Medical Condition for Political Rant


I have to say, this little L.A.Times editorial really takes the cake for insensitivity. It should receive some sort of award for being one of the most gauche pieces I've seen from the extreme leftists masquerading as ';journalists'; for a long, long time. Yes, the Times deserves condemnation for exploiting someone's tragedy to make a mere political point.


In ';Sandra Day O'Connor's loss, and ours,'; the Times laments that because of the former Justice's husband's Alzheimer's disease, Sandra Day quit the bench so we lost her to the court and that loss has resulted in the court being ';radically tilted to the right.'; Imagine exploiting John O'Connor's disease like this? If a Republican had written this editorial, imagine the hate that would be spewed against him?


This is really a shocking editorial.:

That is your negative and politically driven interpretation of that editorial. To me they just stated a political fact, didn't gloat about her husband's illness, nor criticize her decision.I read the editorial as a homage to Justice O'Connor and agree with its content.The Times Exploits Justice O'Connor's Husband's Medical Condition for Political Rant?
No, it is not exploitation.





Also, you did not have to say this, Warner Todd Huston did.
I read the same yester morning. I didn't get as upset as you but it definitely struck as poor and n bad taste. Elsewhere in the same paper there was articles about the cut back at LA Times to save money. I thought there would be a good place to start.
