Those that condemn it might as well be linked arm in arm with the "party of ethics" (democrats). Wouldn't it be nice if as many of you, who call themselves conservatives, would create such a furor over the daily personal attacks that are leveled by the libs at conservatives.

Again, therein lies the crux of the disagreement. Heaven forbid anyone actually condemn anything a conservative does, lest they be "linked arm in arm with democrats!" Did those like Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham , who condemned the Dubai ports deal, have themselves "linked arm in arm with Schumer"? Does that philosophy guide you all the time? Don't ever admit your kid misbehaved at school -- you might as well be linked with the NEA! Don't criticize Mel Gibson, or you might as well be arm in arm with the New York Times. Don't admit the ball was out of bounds -- you might as well be rooting for the other team!

The fact is there are plenty of threads here highlighting and condemning the outrageous comments by libs. And we can count on every conservative pundit and even the not-so-conservative Bill O'Reilly to highlight their vitriolic comments. If they don't get as much reaction here, it is because ~surprise~ there is no debate. We all agree their actions are reprehensible. It would be like posting, "The sun rose today" and expecting people to join in a lively debate on the topic. I would expect liberals to hold their side accountable and, even if they won't, we should hold ours accountable.

Hold accountable? What a joke. There is no acccountability in government. And besides, Ann Coulter is not employed by the government. Are you appointing certain people to be authorized spokespeople for the GOP? If you are, what are your guidelines? So if I say something that is in your mind derogatory are you going to demand an apology? If you are you got your work cut out for yourself because there are millions of people who may be saying something which may be derogatory to you. I don't envy your job as GOP word and words master meister in charge of selecting who should be chastised. Besides, who says your opinion is right? Everyone has an opinion and yours certainly is not going to agree with everyone. So enjoy your own selective criticism because I won't.
