[Air Force Brat]

You know - I have to agree - I find Katie repugnant, but it's not her looks - it's the way she interviews.

Having said that, I thought this guy's comments were inappropriate. Five little girls murdered in front of their classmates, and he goes off on a tangent about abortion. I thought his speech was irrelevant and in very poor taste.

The man's comment about abortion was part of an overall concern he was expressing about what he called a moral free fall in this country. The entire focus on abortion came from complaints from pro-abortion people.

And when all the dots are connected, Katie Couric expresses concern that people may find his comments repugnant.

I read all of the man's words, and saw a replay, and I disagree with your comments. I don't think what he said was irrelevant or in poor taste.

"Five little girls murdered in front of their classmates, and he goes off on a tangent about abortion."

Hate the message, or shoot the messenger? Perhaps both?

I'll paraphrase Marshall McLuhan...in Couric's case, the media (representative) IS the message. Regardless of her own MORAL repugnance and relative ranking in ratings wars and her increasing age, she's still sexy enough to draw a lot of undiscerning eyeballs--and thus, some underwriting advertisers.

You don't concur with the bereaved father's message? An irrelevant TANGENT? Please do a little research. Abortion certainly doesn't increase the value of human life. In certain areas during the 1930s the lives of the old, the sick, the Jews and all but those who presumed themselves superior became very cheap. And Gloria Allred, Planned Parenthood, Michael Schiavo, Judge Greer and 'professor' Peter Singer would have it so again.
