SC Democratic Chair: Palin’s Chief Qualification is She ‘Hasn’t Had an Abortion’ - America’s Election HQ

SC DEMOCRATIC CHAIR: PALIN’S CHIEF QUALIFICATION IS SHE ‘HASN’T HAD AN ABORTION’

South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler reportedly lashed out at Sarah Palin Wednesday, saying the Republican vice presidential candidate’s “primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”

Politico.com reports that Fowler, wife of former Democratic National Committee Chairman Don Fowler, said that John McCain’s decision to choose an abortion rights opponent would not boost his candidacy among many women.

“Among Democratic women and even among independent women, I don’t think it helped him,” she told Politico.com.

Palin — a self-described “hockey mom” and mother of five children — gave birth April 18 to her youngest child, Trig, who is diagnosed with Down syndrome.

Appearing on FOX News Wednesday, McCain campaign spokeswoman Jill Hazelbacker called Fowler’s statement “despicable” and “sad,” and said voters from all parties should be happy Palin is McCain’s running mate.

Her candidacy is, “a historic moment for this country,” Hazelbacker said of Palin.

Don Fowler last week was forced to apologize after being captured on an amateur video during an airplane flight chuckling while saying, “Hurricane (Gustav) is going to hit New Orleans about the time (the Republican National Convention) starts. … That just demonstrates God is on our side.”

Following the dictum, "Never shoot a man who is committing suicide," I'm all for stuff like this. In 2004, John Kerry killed his supporters. In 2008, it might be the other way around!

I'm still stunned by this comment. Regardless of your feelings on abortion, to make a comment like that (and say it out loud) is just insane.

That reminds me of a quote from Lincoln, "If God is on both of our sides, one of us is wrong."
