‘Punishing’ Obama for not wanting to ‘punish’ his daughters

Barack Obama hosted a town-hall meeting in Johnstown, Pa., over the weekend, and was asked how his administration would address HIV/AIDS and sexually ransmitted diseases among young girls. Obama emphasized education and prevention, including comprehensive sex ed and access to contraception.

“I’ve got two daughters; 9 years old and 6 years old,” Obama said. “I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at the age of 16. You know, so it doesn’t make sense to not give them information.”

For reasons that elude me, some conservatives — including Sean Hannity, a correspondent for Pat Robertson’s TV show, Hugh Hewitt, and some right-wing blogs — pounced on the “punished with a baby” line, suggesting that Obama somehow equates parenthood with punishment.

Incredible! Obviously they are counting on people not hearing or reading Obama's actual quote, which is something that would be said by any reasonable person and they are attempting to create some controversy where there is none whatsoever.
Lying repugs can't stop themselves from lying, i guess!
