Rush: Now hold on , I didn't call her a "Witch", I called her a "Screaming Witch"
Something along those lines.
Yup. That is EXACTLY what he said. He did not back down or say he spoke in the heat of the moment.
I thought it was just great.
I thought it was just great.
Me too.
One effective tactic of leftists is to summon great outrage when a conservative says something they don't like and loudly demand a public apology. This sort of thing makes our weaker citizens, such as Former Majority Leader Lott, whimper and abase themselves in orgies of toadying remorse.
The leftists themselves, meanwhile, utter the most vicious slanders without batting an eye.
Far better to reject the assumption that we're obligated not to offend leftists. Rush, bless him, knew all this long ago. You don't like it that I called Hillary a witch? No, no, I said a "screaming" witch...
Beautiful.
For those freepers who are connoisseurs of liberal angst, I offer a small vignette from last year's CPAC in DC. Terry McAuliffe had just completed a surprise radio interview on Radio Row. He and a small group of bodyguard types paused at the FR booth on their way out. One of the storm troopers froze as he spotted a poster -- by Registered, I believe -- that featured Hillary's head tastefully grafted onto the body of a pig. This guy was beyond appalled. He couldn't say anything, and he couldn't look away. He just stood there with his mouth open, paralyzed by utter, complete outrage. Presently he became aware that I was a couple of feet away, smiling blissfully, and he physically shook himself and stalked away.
It was a moment I will always cherish.
So, in the immortal words of Hunter S. Thompson (admittedly an unlikely role model for conservatives), "Never apologize. Never explain."
