There are times when liberal journalists need a ass kicking.

This is one of those times.

Targets of this kind of press bullying need to have a stock response that will immediately shut the hyenas up.

There's so much material from the current societal double standards, it cannot be that hard.

This doesn't have anything to do with liberals or democrats. It is about a major battle breaking out in the GOP between Rand Paul and the NeoCons.

Scroll back up and look at the second sentence in the ABC article. It says the article attacking Paul's aide Hunter appeared in the Washington Free Beacon, which is a NeoCon publication. There was also a secondary article in the National Review.

The problem began with Paul opposing intervening in Syria and trying to sway public opinion against that. The NeoCons are strong and outspoken supporters of a Syria intervention.

Then after the NSA story broke, Paul has been very critical of NSA. And the NeoCons are strong supporters of NSA eavesdropping.

So the NeoCons published the article in the Beacon attacking Hunter as a way of undermining Rand Paul. This is not much different from the NeoCons' attacks on Ron Paul.

Then Rand Paul retaliated by mocking or attacking NeoCon Liz Cheney for running in Wyoming rather than Virginia.
