The Progressives (read:Communists who now control the Democratic party) have set the tone for some time by bringing pressure to bear on otherwise normal-speaking people when they are caught mis-speaking. Often Draconian retribution is demanded as proper penance for such a crime. (Remember, THEY have defined the crime!)
Now, as a previous poster points out, the culprit, being a Progressive himself, is being called to carpet for this offense, Alinsky-style. It is, in a word, poetic justice.
The idea here is to get a reaction from the Progressives that can be held up for public scrutiny, ridicule, and laughter.
The message should be clear to anyone with two brain cells to rub together - the old days and the old ways are gone, and two can now play this game.
We already know what the Progressives are made of. Now, we want to (and can) show the rest of the world so they can watch as new Guardians Of What’s Right In America stew in their own juices.
You might call this the New Politics born of the Tea Party movement. Ain't nothin' wrong with that.
What’s sauce for the goose must be sauce for the gander. We have an election coming up in just over 9 months that is probably going to be the most important in modern American history, and it’s going to be bloody and ugly. This is just something to prep the field a little in advance.
Embrace it, and enjoy it.
Because politics IS a blood sport!
CA....
Poetic justice doesn't matter to the oh-so "objective" ones when it envolves Sarah.
