Kavanaugh smear goes back to 2012

Judi McLeod shows how Planned Parenthood set up this hit on Brett Kavanaugh back in 2012.

From Canada Free Press:

"Planned Parenthood, who photoshopped "Justice Kavanaugh” onto a New York Times story about a 5-4 vote to overturn Roe V. Wade, wasn’t taking any chances.

Their detailed photoshop ad came on November 5, 2012—one day before Obama’s 2012 re-election that toppled "nice guy” but largely ineffective Mitt Romney.

"This advertisement is really impressive and detailed!” wrote Josh Blackman (Josh Blackman, Nov. 5, 2012).

"Taking a page from the Obama campaignplaybook, Planned Parenthood Monday rolled out a last-ditchFacebookcampaign aimed at scaring liberal voters to the polls highlighting what they imagine a future Supreme Court would look like under Mitt Romney.

"The ad features a June 2014New York Timesfront page trumpeting the overturning ofRoe v. Wadeand ominously warning that a Romney court nominee turned out to be the decisive vote.

"The ad imagines "newcomer Justice Kavanaugh” as joining in an opinion "written by Chief Justice John G. Roberts” that "threw the status quo on abortion rights out the window.”

"Judge Brett Kavanaugh, currently on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, apparently is imagined to have replaced Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who does not appear in the line-up of votes in the ad.”

It must be remembered the first time any of this came up was when Christine Blasey Ford mentioned it (sans reference to Kavanaugh and with more players involved) in couples therapy in 2012. Coincidence?
