The Washington Post is reporting that State Sen. Dick Black is now on the list of “on notice” legislators targeted by the PAC Emily’s List (For more info, see previous BD post).
According to WaPO, Black said:
“I am the only state legislator who has also been targeted by ISIS as well,” he said in a phone interview Tuesday. “I wear those as a badge of pride.”
This got the attention of our friends on Franklin Street.
In a Democratic Party of Virginia Press statement, they muse:
Dick Black is getting a lot of attention lately, and not the good kind. Today Emily’s List announced that the right-wing Loudoun senator has been placed “On Notice,” meaning he’s committed such egregious acts of terribleness that, for the first time ever, they’re adding a state legislator to their top-targets list.
Black responded in his typically out-of-touch fashion, comparing Emily’s List to… ISIS. Yes, really.
Dick Black: Come for the heinously offensive social views, stay for comparing a women’s group to an international terrorist organization.
Interesting. But I’m prone to agree with them. There is no comparison.
57+ million children have been aborted since Roe v. Wade.
ISIS hasn’t even come close to that level of genocide.
Shame on Dick Black for comparing the two.
