Rick Perry How DARE you Compliment Wendy Davis's personal decisions

Meme­o­ran­dum is all a buzz (I’d say all a twit­ter but these aren’t tweets about the fol­low­ing words by Gov­er­nor Rick Perry about State Sen­a­tor Wendy Davis:

Who are we to say that chil­dren born into the worst of cir­cum­stances can’t grow to live suc­cess­ful lives? In fact, even the woman who fil­i­bus­tered the Sen­ate the other day was born into dif­fi­cult cir­cum­stances. She was the daugh­ter of a sin­gle woman, she was a teenage mother her­self. She man­aged to even­tu­ally grad­u­ate from Har­vard Law School and serve in the Texas sen­ate. It is just unfor­tu­nate that she hasn’t learned from her own exam­ple that every life must be given a chance to real­ize its full poten­tial and that every life matters.

and it pro­duced the fol­low­ing reac­tion from the left.

Rick Perry Attacks Wendy Davis?, Jabs Davis for being a Teen Mom?

Say WHAT?

Far from attack­ing Wendy Davis Perry points out that Davis didn’t let being a daugh­ter of a sin­gle mother, a per­son who started with a dis­ad­van­tage stop her. Nor did she let being a teenage mother her­self stop her from achiev­ing, she man­aged to go to Har­vard, grad­u­ate and progress to the point where she was able to stand in the Texas sen­ate and become an instant Lib­eral Hero.

Perry tells a story of suc­cess of life, of prov­ing that start­ing with a dis­ad­van­tage doesn’t pre­clude a per­son from suc­cess and the fact that she didn’t choose to abort her own child obvi­ously makes a state­ment that she didn’t believe being a teen mother meant her child was doomed to failure.

Perry clearly didn’t hit her for being a teen mother, he instead notes she didn’t learn the les­son that like her child and her­self all life has the same poten­tial and value and hit her polit­i­cal decision.

The MSM and the folks at Think Progress and Huff­in­g­ton Post have an inter­est­ing take on the word “attack”, but it is highly nec­es­sary to twist Perry’s words to falsely state he attacked Davis for being a teen mother. His actual words don’t fit the lib­eral tem­plate so we have to do some­thing about it.
