Jed Babbin and Human Events Had Romney’s Radical Left Wing Record and Suppressed It!
Here is my e-mail to John Gizzi of what was Ronald Reagan’s favorite conservative weekly, Human Events on 7-12-08 after he had ignored all the information I had shared with him, Jed Babbin, David Limbaugh and Ann Coulter (all of whom write for Human Events) on numerous occasions and know that they received the e-mails since they ALL replied directly back to me. (I have all the e-mail communications to prove it).
Bottom line: Jed Babbin, the editor of Human Events, along with every other major writer including Gizzi, Coulter and Limbaugh ALL totally suppressed Mitt Romney’s far left wing record from their readers for over a year!
Here is my e-mail to John Gizzi (Coulter, Limbaugh and Babbin were all copied). Gizzi and Babbin both responded.
John, I read your article today in Human Events entitled “John McCain’s Veepstakes:Mitt Romney” and noticed that you fail to mention any of the issues regarding his actual record as governor that I have on more than one occasion brought to your attention (see below).
For example, you claim in your article that as governor “Romney erased a major budget deficit through spending cuts and increasing certain fees but without raising taxes.” If only that were true. As I shared with you from this article entitled “Mitt’s Mythical Mass Miracle” http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=12568 you are not being honest with your readers:
“Tax rates on many corporations almost doubled because of legislation supported by Romney,” Boston Science Corporation chairman Peter Nicholas wrote in the January 6 Boston Herald. Romney boosted taxes on subchapter S corporations owned by business trusts from 5.3 percent to 9.8 percent, a four-fifths increase. Nicholas called this “an important disincentive to investment, growth, and job creation.”

Nicholas called this “an important disincentive to investment, growth, and job creation.”
“Corporate taxes went up $210 million under Romney,” the Herald editorialized. “And we wonder why companies look north, south, east and west, anywhere but Massachusetts, to expand?”
While Romney sped a $275 million capital-gains tax rebate, scored property-tax relief for seniors and secured a two-day, tax-free shopping holiday, he imposed $283 million in business “loophole closures” and $501.5 million in increased fees on marriage licenses, gun registrations, gasoline deliveries, real-estate transfers, and more. Under Romney, the Tax Foundation calculated, Massachusetts fell from America’s 29th most business-friendly state to No. 36.
John, how could you not mention any of this? Were you not aware of this information? Will you issue a retraction or clarification explaining that Romney actually did raise taxes on corporations? (And raised taxes and fees to the tune of almost 1 billion dollars?
Also, even though I shared the following information, with documented proof sources, with you over 2 weeks ago regarding Romney’s:
Also, even though I shared the following information, with documented proof sources, with you over 2 weeks ago regarding Romney’s:
-
illegal institution of same sex marriage and violation of at least 8 articles of the Massachusetts’ Constitution
$50 abortions that he signed into law as part of his healthcare plan (AFTER his supposed “pro-life conversion”) -
placement of a Planned Parenthood appointee on his healthcare advisory board but no pro-life member (AFTER his purported “pro life epiphany”
-
forcing Catholic Charities to give children to homosexual couples even though he was not obligated to by law
- forcing Catholic Hospitals to distribute abortion pills even though he was not legally obligated to
- increased funding for homosexual indoctrination education
-
support for sexual orientation “non-discrimination laws”
-
opposition to banning homosexual boy scout leaders
-
opposition to the Bush Tax Cuts
-
support for McCain-Kennedy and McCain-Feingold and parts of McCain-Lieberman
-
support for gun control
-
opposition to a federal human life amendment on “states’ rights” grounds (but incongruous support for a federal marriage amendment)
You never mentioned any of it in your article!
You totally whitewashed it.
Is this information not relevant to your readers? How do you talk about his healthcare plan without talking about how he established 50 dollar abortions as a “healthcare benefit?” How can you say with a straight face that Romney opposed the Goodridge opinion when he went out of his way to illegally impose it even though the court itself admitted that it had no power to change the marriage statutes in any way and was issuing no “orders”? I sent you the information. Did you not read it?
Again, here is the information and suggested questions I provided over two weeks ago. Perhaps you can explain why you chose to ignore and suppress virtually all of it. And if this isn’t a clear cut example of journalistic malpractice, what it?
As a ten year subscriber to what was Reagan’s favorite conservative weekly, I am deeply disappointed but not surprised. I will not renew my subscription once it runs out.

Questions and Issues to cover in your upcoming “John McCain’s Veepstakes:Mitt Romney” column…
Why he illegally authorized changes to, and issuance of, marriage licenses to same sex couples without a binding enabling statute and falsely claimed that “everybody knows that the MSJC (Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court) legalized same sex marriage” Proof Source http://www.massresistance.org/romney/gregg_jackson_122007.html which even the court admitted it could never do? Proof Sources http://www.undergroundjournal.net/igroops/theunderground/adminpages/Letter-To-Romney-JAN-07 and http://www.robertpaine.blogspot.com/
2. Why his signature healthcare plan established abortion, with a $50 co pay, as a “healthcare benefit? (AFTER HIS PURPORTED “PRO-LIFE CONVERSION”)? Proof Source: http://www.mahealthconnector.org/portal/binary/com.epicentric.contentmanagement.servlet.ContentDeliveryServlet/About%2520Us/Connector%2520Programs/Additional%2520Resources/cc_benefits1220_pt234.pdf
3. When he increased government funding for this anti-family, anti-morality homosexual propaganda, starting in kindergarten and he never once ordered education officials or anyone else to obey existing parents’ rights law? Proof Source: www.massresistance.org/docs/marriage/romney/record/
4. Why he opposes a ban on homosexual boy scout masters and supports sexual orientation non-discrimination laws? You may want to ask him why a Christian bookstore, for example, should have to hire transvestites or face criminal prosecution. Proof Source: http://republicansforfamilyvalues.com/2008/01/02/a-stern-warning-to-the-conservative-elites-about-mitt-romney/
5. Why Romney’s former staff member and others have revealed that in 2002, in return for the homosexual “Log Cabin Republicans” endorsement, Romney secretly promised to let judges exceed their legal power and unconstitutionally impose homosexual “marriage?” Proof Source: www.nytimes.com/2007/09/08/us/politics/08romney.html?_r=3&hp=&oref=slogin&pagewanted=print&oref=slogin
6. Why Romney cited a non-existent state law to force Catholic Charities, the state’s largest adoption and foster care agency, to give children to homosexuals even when normal mother-father families were lined up to give them a home when even former governor liberal Democrat Mike Dukakis pointed out that this “law” Romney was using was no “law,” but merely an executive regulation that a governor can cancel with a stroke of his pen? Proof Source: http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/012/191kgwgh.asp
7. Why Romney should be considered to have strong conservative economic credentials given that his “signature” achievement as governor, his government run universal healthcare plan that was endorsed by Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, and Planned Parenthood, has been a total failure? Proof Sources: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB117246015872919046.html?mod=opinion&ojcontent=otep and http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2008/02/03/subsidized_care_plans_cost_to_double/ and http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121132884197208937.html?mod=opinion_main_review_and_outlooks
8. Why should Romney be considered to have strong conservative economic credentials given that his $800 million in tax hikes (which he called “fees”) devastated the Massachusetts economy? You may also want to ask him why he opposed the Bush Tax Cuts. Proof Source: http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=12568
9. Should voters have legitimate concerns regarding Romney’s integrity considering the numerous lies he told on the campaign trail regarding “seeing his father march with MLK,” being a “life long hunter,” having the “NRA’s endorsement,” always “being for life,” etc…?
10. Why Romney supported McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, and parts of McCain-Lieberman
