John McCormack smears Elena Kagan

June 29, 2010 1:03 pm ET by Jamison Foser

Speaking of shameless demagoguery, The Weekly Standard’s John McCormack writes:

Kagan Defends Discriminating Against Military at Harvard

In fact, Kagan didn’t discriminate against the military, she ended the military’s exemption from Harvard’s anti-discrimination policy.

It says a lot about McCormack that he thinks ending an entity’s exemption from an anti-discrimination policy constitutes discriminating against that entity.

Though, in fairness (I guess?) to McCormack, there's ample evidence that he doesn't actually believe the nonsense he writes.

UPDATE: McCormack also referred to Kagan's "anti-military policy," another bit of dishonest demagoguery. Applying the same rules to the military that are applied to other entities isn't "anti-military." It's "pro-consistency."

      Is there anyone out there with more than two brains cells who believe this is anything but political grandstanding? Remember how hysterical the Troglodytes were about Sotomayor? Now that she's on the Court, they don't even mention her.

      The same thing will happen with Kagan. They'll whine and contort themselves into pretzels until the vote, then they'll move on to their next fabricated outrage.

      The MILITARY discriminated (and still does!), and the MILITARY WAS treated unequally - they were given MORE rights than ANY other group that wanted to discriminate!
