The Democratic Double Standard
Pajamas Media ^ | May 12 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 05/12/2009 2:43:19 PM PDT by AJKauf

During Clarence Thomas’ confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court, allegations were made that he had sexually harassed Anita Hill. The allegations were unfounded and eventually proven false. When Bill Clinton was accused of having an affair with a White House intern, he said,”I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.” Days later he admitted he had indeed had sexual relations with her.

So while the sexual allegations against Thomas were false, Democrats and their willing accomplices in the mainstream media did their best to destroy the man before he was confirmed to the Supreme Court. And while the sexual allegations against Clinton were true, and resulted in his impeachment, Democrats defended him by saying that Clinton’s crimes were “only” lies “about sex.” Although Clinton’s crimes were actually far more grave than lies about sex, accepting that defense allows us to wonder why Thomas was smeared by Democrats for his alleged lies about sex. The answer is simple: Only Democrats can lie, cheat, and steal yet remain politically viable in this country.

Need more proof of the Democrats’ ability to commit crimes with impunity? Just take a trip down memory lane to 12:45 a.m. on July 18, 1969, when Ted Kennedy “drove off the Dike Bridge connecting Martha’s Vineyard … with Chappaquiddick Island.” Kennedy’s passenger, “a pretty political assistant [named] Mary Jo Kopechne,” was killed.

The cold hard facts about Kopechne’s death are startling..

Double standard? What? Huh? Against conservatives? No way I thought the Tea Party coverage was an isolated case. Cutting edge article.

In debate an advocate who detects a contradiction in their opponents argument must do more than note the contradiction.

The advocate must choose the resolution of the contradiction for their opponent.

In this case I recommend that conservatives choose the meme that democrats approve of manslaughter and various firms of misogyny.

It is not about the truth of the allegations, it is aboutthe seriousness of the charge

I agree except we must put it in terms that public educated folks can understand. And we need to put the truth in their own media even if we have to pay to do so (as advertising).

Michael Steele you listening? Here lies an opportunity for massive fund raising.

The biggest reason Dhimmi degenerates get away with it is that the corrupt and immoral press ignores or downplays Dhimmi corruption and crimes but piles on any hint of Republican potential corruption or appearance of impropiety. It’s the vast-left-wing echo chamber doing its job.

Unfortunately, I don't think he is up to the task.
