To: The Ghost of FReepers Past

18 venomous reply posts, including yours, and nobody bothers recognizing the fact that they are reacting to the words of the article author, not Jenna Bush's.

Author - "And Bush has the audacity to tell USA Today that she envisions her teen-single-mother-with-AIDS book as having the same influence as Anne Frank's The Diary of Anne Frank. "

Jenna Bush - "...hopes her book will have some of the influence of two books about girls caught up in the Holocaust: Lois Lowry's novel Number the Stars and Anne Frank's The Diary of Anne Frank."

There is a world of difference between "the same", a bold objective and "some", a modest objective.

I guess in the quest to belittle someone, details don't matter.

It is completely possible this is a morality tale designed to help girls make a better life for themselves through better choices. A point that seems to be completely glossed over here.

I wish I completely understood what was happening to "real conservatives" these days.

I didn't belittle her. I criticized her comparison. Details do matter.
