I'm reminded of when David Letterman thought that it would be funny to joke about Governor Palin's daughter being raped by a baseball player.
This is a straight up lie. Letterman joked about Palin's 18-year-old daughter (who was famously pregnant at the time) being 'knocked up' by a baseball player- no suggestion of rape at all. But then, this conservative knows that and chooses to lie. He should be ashamed.
Of course, Letterman mixed up some names. That's totally as bad as deliberately, systematically and baselessly smearing an individual for publically arguing, in good faith, for what she believes is a right.
when they started talking about all those wonderful things that were said about Sarah Palin by the left.
Again, the left rationally criticised Palin for being an idiot, a demagogue, ignorant, not caring about politics, ect. That's just like hating all women, forever as Rush does.
We, however, do have a place for things that were said about the people in rural Pennsylvania, "They cling to their bibles, guns and apathy for people that don't look like them".
That's a perfectly reasonable opinion. 'Women are inferior sluts' is not.
I guess calling someone a racist just because they don't like you is okay.
Because many of them are demonstrably racists.
Newt Gingrich is right, this is nothing more than the crisis of the week, or perhaps " crisis of the weak" might be the correct spelling here. The real crisis is gas prices jumping by leaps and bounds.
Because you can ignorantly blame Obama for gas prices (instead of the Israelis, of course). You can't blame Obama for the completely unimportant issue of the right of 51% of the population to equally participate as citizens. So that's not important.
