Honk! You’re Hateful

Pajamas Media ^ | April 3 | Andrew Klavan

In an op-ed in last Sunday’s Los Angeles Times, I teasingly challenged liberals to—gasp!—actually listen to Rush Limbaugh with an open mind. The reaction was predictable, but no less hilarious for that. Email after email practically boiling with viciousness, foul language and hate, accused Limbaugh—and me—of being vicious, foul-mouthed and hateful. Don’t these people own mirrors? I mean, don’t they ever look at their reflections and think, “Wait… Limbaugh does a radio show about public figures and ideas… Klavan writes an op-ed in a newspaper… then I send a personal email full of four-letter words, ad hominem attacks and vitriol… Oh, hey, I get it… the real shmuck here… is me!!!”

Okay, I’m not holding my breath. But the left’s ability to act hatefully while in the very act of accusing the right of hatefulness does point to yet another of the many ways the media skew our political discourse. In the mainstream media—the left’s media, I mean—the standard for what is hateful is completely different for the right and left.

Jon Stewart shouts the F-word on air at Governor Sarah Palin, oh, what a witty fellow he is, how outrageous, how puckishly he bends the rules!..

The look but do not see, listen but do not act and experience but do not feel.

Such as these are devoid of moral vaules, common sense and decency and are in reality, leach like in how they live to suck the life out of all else.

If this offends any on the left, then good

Any liberal that opens their mouth is a perfect example of why public education needs to be banned. They cannot communicate on a human level without the need to infuse their speech with rhetoric and foul language.

You can spot a liberal/Democrat just by listening to them speak. They shriek and swear in order to talk over any relevant points that are brought up. The saying goes if you want to rile up a liberal tell them the truth.

Yep, the double standard of the left knows no bounds.

Call clinton a liar, adulterer, and draft dodger you were labeled as practicing “politics of personal destruction”

Question clinton on his foreign policies, and we were told that politics had to stop at the waters edge.

Yet for the past 8 years, liberals have called President Bush every nasty name under the sun, called for his assassination, etc and they said that it’s free speech and dissent.

For the past 8 years liberals have done everything they could to undermine the war on terror from leaking classified information to the press, to outright colaboration with the enemy all the while blaming our policies for the terrorist attacks, and saying that the only way to solve the problem is to negotiate.

Now with Pres__ent 0bama anyone who criticizes him is a racist hatemonger.

They Must always be correct and no other term of thinking is correct in their minds.

They must be stopped.
