What a shock also we will now be told Obama was terrific, Palin horrific.

I thought Obama’s “memorial” became a disturbing tribute to government and how the little girl could have grown up to be a “public servant” once she learned the “obligations of citizenship”.

I’m torn, I understand the need to point out their hypocrisy on one hand. On the other, this playing “gotcha” has gotten tiresome, quick. I hate seeing the right stooping to their level in order to make a point.

I just saying...

Politics is war by other means. Of course it’s going to have language of war and struggle attached to it. I used to have a friend in politics and his campaigns always said he would “fight” for this and “fight” for that. He never put up his dukes or shot anyone.

It isn't necessarily stooping to their level. It's holding liars and charlatans accountable using their own words. We've gone well past the point where we can simply sit there and say 'ha, ha, you said a bad word'. That hasn't worked. It's gotten us as conservatives libeled and smeared. It's time to put a stop to it.

I understand your point, but this Clyburn is unbelievably hostile.

Last night, on CBS Evening News, Couric asked him if, in light of the fact that the killer appears now to have no definable political agenda, did he think that his comments blaming the shooting on Palin and the Tea Party were premature?

He responded "Absolutely not!" and then went on to claim that Loughner's eyes were the eyes of the people who threatened his life during the civil rights movement.

He's a nonsensical, vicious, hate-filled demagogue. I have no problem with throwing his hypocrisy back at him.

You gotta know this is done on purpose. Kinda one of those, “We shut YOU guys down, but look what WE can still say!” sort of deals.

Where did you pick that odd phrase up? It sounds like one of Dan Rathers strange folkisms.
