If a Republican presidential candidate had written a thesis describing the philosophy of someone from the extreme right, his alma mater would have released instantly.
If he had requested that the thesis be kept from the public, the institution would have (a) released it immediately, and (b) gone public with his attempt to sequester the material, taking advantage of the opportunity to get on a high horse about their commitment to “transparency” and “academic honesty” and their “duty to “history.”
If by some infinitesimal chance the institution had actually done the Republican candidate’s bidding and kept the thesis under lock and key, the need to have that decision reversed and demands to release the thesis would have been part of every interview, every press conference, every photo opportunity, ever interview of ever spokesperson of the candidates.
A coalition of concerned radical left-wing groups would have hand-delivered a petition bearing 25 million names to the Chancellor of the Republican Presidential Candidate’s alma mater, and every television network would have been on hand to record the event.
You would never have heard the end of it. Sheryl Crow and Lady GaGa would have performed songs about it before the audiences of major awards programs, like the Grammys and the MTV awards programs.
You’re not suggesting there’s a double standard are you??
Yes, the double standards are staggering, yet no longer surprising.
I agree about the double standard.
Mind-boggling to think that Hillary’s thesis would have been devastating to the Clintons in the 90s. Today, it’s not even an issue. The extreme left has gained a lot of ground.
This Double Standard is just the classic reaction of illogical people when encountering logical people.
Republicans tend to be logical .. therefore, they are to be called names, harassed, taunted, called names, mischaracterized, threatened, lied about, plotted against, and called names, etc., etc., etc.
THAT IS JUST HOW IT IS. The answer is: Trump - who never allows the illogical to score .. Brilliant.
