From: SSAA, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The following information may be of some value to those who get into the position to comment on the MMM "Townhall.com Conservative Alert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.townhall.com There weren't a million and it's not quite clear if they agree on an agenda, but the moms in DC last weekend have surely gotten their fair share of press. I've taken a moment to gather some of the more interesting commentary and analysis surrounding the event. Million moms: for womb the bell tolls by Ann Coulter (5/16) The last time liberal women got the idea to use their wombs as an argument for gun control, Representatives Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., Nita M. Lowey, D-N.Y., and Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., were uttering such prattle as "women find they have a maternal instinct" for gun control. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/anncoulter/ac000516.shtml Million Mom March is a Bad Idea by Michael Warder The drums are starting to beat louder and louder for Mothers all across America to leave their families this Mother's Day on May 14 to journey to Washington, DC to be a face in the crowd for the cause of gun control. I can not think of a worse thing for the American family. http://www.claremont.org/publications/warder000503.cfm Moms overcounted and overrated by Linda Bowles (5/16) The numbers involved in the "Million Mom March" were overstated, and the cause for which the moms marched was overrated. Also, the event was over reported, in that it had less to do with solving a problem than it had to do with advancing a political agenda. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/lindabowles/lb000516.shtml The anti-choice march by Debra Saunders (5/15) The Million Mom March is about class, not caliber. And politics, not policy. Start with the statement by founder Donna Dees-Thomases, a New Jersey mother and publicist who just happens to be the sister-in-law of Clinton minion Susan Thomases: "On August 10th, I" -- she uses the word "I" a lot -- "had a wake-up call." http://www.townhall.com/columnists/debrasaunders/ds000515.shtml The Million Mom media event by Nina Shokraii Rees and Jennifer Garrett When it comes to political battles, children are the "zero option," the nuclear weapon you deploy to annihilate your opponents. So expect to hear a lot of talk about children at this Sunday's "Million Mom March" in Washington, a stage-managed spectacle designed to sell the gun-control agenda to the American people. http://www.heritage.org/views/2000/ed051200b.html A free ride for 'a million' moms by Brent Bozell (5/12) Donna Dees-Thomases has told everyone far and wide that she came up with the idea of the "Million Mom March" after watching TV news coverage of a day-care center shooting in California. She wrote the words down on an envelope. Then she decided to hold the march on Mother's Day. Who would dare criticize that? http://www.townhall.com/columnists/brentbozell/bb000512.shtml Mom march is a sham by Tony Snow (5/12) WASHINGTON -- In our neighborhood, the Million Mother March is all the rage. Women who normally wrinkle their noses at politics will attend in force; some will bring their daughters. Maybe even a husband or two will tag along, but I doubt it: This is pretty much a chick event. It features two forms of recreation women dearly love -- bonding rituals and forums for discussing the inbred idiocy of men. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/tonysnow/ts000512.shtml -------[Cybershooters contacts]-------- Editor: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website & subscription info: www.cybershooters.org
