Paul Goldman attempts to claim that if Martin Bashir had to lose his job for insulting Sarah Palin, any conservative TV commentator that insults a left-wing personality/politician will have to lose their job in the name of (all together now) equality.

Goldman contends that if Mrs. Palin had simply 'let it go' - not publicly taken offense at Bashire commenting that someone should defaecate in her mouth - Bashir wouldn't have had to 'resign' and conservatives would not have to explain why they should not resign if they insult a leftist politician.

Convoluted and absurd attempt to say that conservatives deserve to be insulted in the most vile manner and they should just take it. The arrogance and stupidity of the left never fails to simultaneously annoy and amuse.

Exactly. Countless lefties, responding to the controversy over Bashir’s remarks, protest that “Oh, Rush and other conservatives have said equally bad or worse things all the time?” Really? Like what? (If they had, I’d probably support a job action against them, too. Some things are beyond the pale.)

Bashir was, at the time, serving as the conscience of the network, striking fear into those who defied political correctness.

So, he was an enforcer of political correctness.
Got it. A kapo, a goon, a verbal thug, yep.
