Evita Heinz Kerry: Joseph Farah asserts prez wannabe's wife is
certifiably nuts!! LIBERALS HATE AMERICA!!
I guess it's not important that a future first lady may be mentally
unbalanced.
It's been a long, strange trip indeed for Teresa Heinz Kerry.
Less than 30 years ago, she was a rabid Republican, the wife of
another senator, trashing Ted Kennedy as a "perfect *****" and the
Democratic Party as "putrid."
Last night, she shared the dais with Teddy Boy who turns out to be her
new husband's biggest (in terms of girth as well as enthusiasm)
cheerleader.
When I first reported that Teresa Heinz Kerry was behind the funding
of radical causes including Act-Up, Islamist jihadists, anarchists who
disrupted the Seattle World Trade Organization meeting and communist
front groups, I knew she was wacky.
What shocked me, however, was the fact no one seemed to care that some
of those same non-profit groups, funded by Heinz money, were at the
forefront of planned demonstrations and disruptions at the Republican
National Convention later this summer.
Just imagine if Pat Nixon was directing charity funds toward the
demonstrators at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. Would that
be a scandal? Yes, it would. It might have been bigger than Watergate.
Yet, Evita Heinz Kerry gets away with it. All she needs to do is plead
ignorance to the fact that millions of her directed charity dollars go
to a foundation funding such groups and hundreds of others like them.
But all that is in the theoretical realm. We can look at the cold
facts of Teresa Heinz Kerry's misguided philanthropy, but what does it
really tell us about the person?
I think a much better glimpse into the personality of Evita Heinz
Kerry came last weekend.
She gave a speech in Boston to Pennsylvania delegates, urging civility
in political discourse. She was reasonable. She was articulate. And
she was obviously scripted carefully.
"We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian and
sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our
politics," she said.
Nothing wrong with that. But, a few minutes later, when asked politely
by a reporter about use of the term "un-American," Evita blew a
gasket.
"I didn't say that," she said. "You're putting words in my mouth. I
didn't say that."
But she very clearly did say it despite the angry and frequent
denials. Like the speech itself, this unbelievable confrontation with
Colin McNickle, the editorial page editor of the Pittsburgh
Tribune-Review, was videotaped by WTAE Channel 4 Action News in
Pittsburgh.
Repeatedly she insists to McNickle that she did not use the term
"un-American." McNickle calmly asks her to explain what she did say,
but Mrs. Kerry refused at one point telling the journalist to go
listen to the tape.
After conferring with Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and others, Kerry
then returned to confront McNickle.
"Are you from the Tribune-Review?" she asked.
"Yes," replies McNickle.
"I thought so," she said. "You said something I didn't say. Now shove
it."
Now much of the controversy over this incident has focused on the
words "shove it." And that's as it should be. But why so little
attention on the brain malfunction that led to it?
She gave a speech. She used a phrase. She was asked about it minutes
later by a journalist. She not only denied using it, she insulted and
verbally abused the questioner.
Not only that, she went back for seconds lunging at the reporter in a
way that would be considered threatening had the show been on the
other foot.
Let me make this simple: This woman is nuts. She's certifiable. And
she may be the most influential person in the life of the next
president.
