I fail to see any meaningful difference between the attacks on Sarah Palin from the left and the attacks on Rick Santorum from the right. The only real difference is the target. Both use repeated falsehoods and manipulations to create a narrative which is repeated as fact. It started with the savage attacks on Michele Bachmann, moved on to Herman Cain and now reaches new lows with the attacks on Santorum.
Seems that people missed the point of Rush Limbaugh’s apology to Sandra Fluke. He said in his fight against the left, he had become like them. The same is happening to many of us and we damn well better not step out of line because they’ll attack like a pack of jackals.
