Defend a newspaper columnist against criticisms of her political affiliations and emphasize the importance of addressing a serious issue instead.
Ms. Moore is a newspaper columnist, and a damn good one.  The content of Moore's column has nothing to do with whether she's a Democrat or a Republican.  Naysayers' attempt to try and discredit her op-ed need their head examined.  Those that choose to bash Moore instead of addressing Cathy Munoz's public support of two child rapists come across as supporting the rapists.  Attacking the messenger only makes you people look foolish (i.e. Dick Rhyner).
