Mika Wouldn't Give Santorum Same Pass as Sanders On Rape Remarks
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/01/2015 6:45:11 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Mika Brzezinski just can't contain her liberal bias. On today's Morning Joe, Mika admitted that the the MSM has a double standard when it comes to reporting controversial things that Democrats and Republicans have done or said. Yet she promptly turned around and applied that same double standard to Bernie Sanders and Rick Santorum.

Discussing Bernie Sanders having written in 1972 that women fantasize about being raped, Mika agreed that if Rick Santorum had written the same thing, the press would go crazy. However, Mika claimed that wouldn't be because Santorum's a Republican, but rather would be due to "his record and his views." When Joe Scarborough said there'd be no justification for jumping on Santorum, Mika disagreed: "there's a little bit of one."

Mika thinks Sanders’ rape remarks are irrelevant, but it would be OK to attack Santorum if he had said them.

Ping to Today show list.

The liberal/leftists/progressives have warped political discussion to a point — where there can be no discussion.

At some point, the American people are going to have to accept that since liberal/leftists/progressives will not participate in the political process.

Americans will have to be deal with them in some other way.

I thought Mika was black, and here she turns out to be just another whitey.

If it wasn’t for double-standards, Liberals would have no standards at all.

The problem is that Santorum has some moral values, and Democrats/Socialists do NOT. This allows Democrats/Socialists to get a free pass on any moral issues.

It is just their excuse for their bias. It is straight up Alynski: Make them follow their own rules absolutely, all of the time.

It is a one way street that favors those without rules.

Ultimately, the only rule on the left is: anything that gains me power is good.

If Mika suddenly fell out of her chair and flat onto her face during a show, would it make a sound? Would anyone know?

That's because Demwit media bubbleheads fantasize about being gang raped by Bill Clinton and Bill Cosby.
