the left has no soul... only an egoObviously not part of the liberal Main Stream Media - maybe there is just a bit of hope yet. Of course they just may be catering to the vast majority of Americans.
The headline presupposes the left had a soul to begin with...
What soul?
The far left don’t have any souls, they never had any to begin with
I hope.
Bill Mahrer DOES have sponsors. HBO’s parent corporation is Time-Li(f)e-Warner-Turner.
BOYCOTT Time-Warner. Pull the plug on cable.
BOYCOTT CNN’s advertiser’s. For a mere “comedian” CNN (a news network) sure has him on for political commentary enough times. Does Chris Rock get quizzed on CNN about the issues of the day?
“But the left? This was the week they lost their credibility.”
You can’t lose something you never had.
Forget about it.
NOW defended Bill Clinton's sexual harassment of a young intern. Gloria Steinem defended Bill Clinton's sexual groping of a woman. His unwanted physical advances? No big deal. The very credible claims of violent rape on Clinton's part? [shrug] Why is that so wrong? Men have needs.
No, the Left crossed this line a long time ago. They can do anything they want. Republicans? We're animals and we don't deserve to have rights. We're sub-human, and the Left knows how to deal with scum like us.
It's only fair to point out that Schultz apologized. And unlike Rush, he made an actual apology for what he said, not just for a "poor choice of words."
IMO it is dishonest to report the Schultz slue without at least noting his apology.
There are, broadly speaking, two approaches to life: where reality is external and consists of timeless principles, standards and facts, or where reality is substantially internal and consists of preferences and passions.
A person whose reality is external seeks to bring his thinking and behavior into harmony with outside considerations. If an outside fact contradicts one of the things he desires, he rejects that desire. If an outside law tells him that coveting and theft are wrong, he rejects thoughts that lead him to covet or attempt to steal.
A person whose reality is internal only accepts events and facts from the outside that are in harmony with the world as he prefers it in his own mind. Indeed, his internal reality is malleable, almost plastic, and continually morphs and changes so that what was true and correct changes from one moment to the next. This reality must be maintained and protected. This reality is his very idea of himself.
Since such as person is human, while he devises and maintains his own morality, he also continually fails to adhere it it. So, he must continually excuse his failures and faults. He does so by making exceptions and even changes to the rules themselves. Such people reject the concept of sin because in their own minds they cannot sin, because every failing is excusable. Yet, giving themselves a pass causes deep dissatisfaction with their own human nature, and this is why these people project anger. They are often heard complaining that conservatives are “angry” when in fact they are just projecting their own anger with themselves.
People with internal realities are never constrained by any principles. If they don’t reject the principle, they will excuse why the principle doesn’t apply in the case at hand. Having rejected principles, they must respect power. Indeed, they become power-oriented. Only power restrains them externally, for nothing restrains their internal reality.
This explains the two main world views that we see struggling to control our lives today. This explains why we can see politicians who claim one thing in the morning and contradict themselves in the afternoon with equal sincerity. This explains why a politician can claim to be for something before he was against it. And it explains why they thing they can print and borrow their way to full employment and prosperity for all.
the left has no soul... only an egothis is no different to the double standard of “targets on map” and somehow a call for violence by gop, but not a call for violence when democrats actually call for their followers go punch people twice as hard or target sign on politicians faces
Not ruddy likely!
Funniest line of the whole piece.
What credibility?
“This was the week they lost their credibility.”
Good piece, nice writing, but sorry, they lost their credibility on the sexual politics issues back in the Clinton/Lewinsky days.
Right around the time Nina Burleigh (thank you google!) expressed her willingness to give President Clinton the full Monica for (let’s not forget THIS part) KEEPING ABORTION LEGAL.
It’s all abortion, all the time for these folks.
We can’t stand it, they revere it above all things.
Abortion is the line in the sand.
So, sorry Mitch Daniels (very popular wish you’d run for president guy) there won’t be any truce on social issues. Not as long as the Left reveres baby killing and want you, you mother and your priest to pay for it.

They are going to get nailed on their diversity racism, too. As soon as the racists come out to defend Bell and people hear and see them... O’Brien on CNN was a warm up.
Louis Farrahkan spoke at Harvard. They are coming out of Obama’s closet.
But the author made sure he got his own rude insult of Limbaugh in n ear the end.
