As you probably have heard, a few days ago Bill Maher shocked his liberal guest -- and much of the world -- by stating very correctly and succinctly that it is "liberal (BS) to equate Christianity and Islam with respect to terror.
The bluntness, not to mention the shocking accuracy of the statement from this particular source, had the social media universe all lit up over the weekend. It was surely my first "fist pump" ever in response to Maher.
Moreover, it is very instructive when juxtaposed with a not so shocking statement made in an interview over the same weekend by former President George W. Bush in the run-up to the opening of his "Presidential Center."
The sad fact of the matter is the media is so partisan that it wouldn’t have mattered if or how Bush fought back. Plenty of people were out front defending the most absurd accusations but the media just ignored it.
We kicked the behinds of the people who sponsored them, and put the fear of God into the rest. Apprehending the perpetrators is no sign of success. The perpetrators are very small fish; they're a dime-a-dozen, and to their handlers they're perfectly disposable.
I must agree and disagree - the media bias makes it all the more imperative that our side fight back. The media was just as anti tea party in 2010 as they ever were anti Bush - and yet, the campaigns of 2010 did fight back, did not back down, never played nice, and won. Really, you should go here:

Won? Yes, they won the 2010 elections, more than any other single group, entity, movement, person, indeed they did. No doubt.
Does that mean every day is a tea party win? No, but that’s an absurd standard.
Does that mean final victory? No, but that’s never the case.
Does that mean they won everything? No, never claimed such.
Does it mean that how they won is a fabulous lesson when compared to the Bush, Rove recipe? DAMNED RIGHT IT DOES, and that’s the point.
Agreed, but Bush (fittingly) threw out the first pitch after 9/11. And was cheered. People want a return to normalcy. Having two terrorists in your city doesn’t allow that. I don’t see the problem celebrating when those two causing the problems (at the time) are caught/killed.
On John Gibson’s show tomorrow, I think around 1:30. Please tune in.
Thanks for the update, I’m sure you’ll represent yourself well.
THANKS!. Gibson was fun to talk to - even if wasn’t 100% in agreement with me.
