There’s one thing the main stream left has always done very well. Viscous personal attacks and character assassination by the political and media attack dogs. Both sides do it but left takes it to a whole new level. If you have opposing political views they will rip you apart limb from limb including your kids spouse and anyone else close to you.

Look at what the left wing media did to Joe the Plumber. It wasn’t two days after his conversation with OB that the drive by media started to rip him apart including investigating his tax returns, his business, personal life and anything else they could dig up. All because of a simple question he asked. At the time he was a nobody.

What did Sarah Palin ever do to anyone? She was nothing more than a VP candidate and Governor of Alaska. To this very day left wing talking heads, Hollywood personalities, comedians, news reporters, etc are still hammering away at her. I think I know why though. She’s a Christian Conservative mother who happens to be a very popular Governor and to the left that make her the anti-Christ.

Miss California was asked a direct question about her personal views on marriage. Career over.

Fact is, if you are a Christian Conservative especially in politics and oppose OB and his left-wing henchman, you better get ready because they will come after you and your family too.

The left always accuses the Republications of being intolerant. The truth is I think liberals especially liberals in government and media are some of the most intolerant angry people I have ever seen. Cross them and you better get ready because if it doesn’t fit their ideology, they will do everything possible to silence and discredit you.

The media double standard is unbelievable.

These days you can start a political debate/argument by saying "it sure is a nice day today".

It would veer off into global warming, whether or not it was nicer when someone else was president, will it be nicer in the future when we get rid of the current pres. etc., etc.

Exactly. When somebody made a crack about Chelsea Clinton the media circled their wagons and she was off the table for good. BHO says that his two daughters are off the table...media responds. When they go after Mrs. Palin's children...it is OK. Can't you guys see the hypocrisy?????

__________________________________________

It has been my observation when an individual can't support a position with facts or just render an opinion on the subject matter, the comments turn political because that's where the individual is an "expert" of their agenda. Getting back to DL, as a women and mother I am very offended by DL's comment about Palin's young daughters. Even though Palin's daughters are in the public eye, he definitely crossed the line. Palin's acceptance of DL's apology and the comments Palin made in support of her acceptance of DL's apology are admirable.

mac9, it's ok when Chelsea was paraded around, she was off limits, the Bush daughters were not, the Obama daughters are off limits, Palin's are not. Are you blind? Why is there a double standard? Imus gets fired for a stupid remark that didn't come close to the vile crap from Letterman. I don't care if Palin's daughter was 30, to infer that she was a slut, got knocked up at a ball game should be grounds for dismissal. Just like Imus, just like Nick the Greek. Because Palin's kids were on stage with her makes them fair game? Obama's daughters were also paraded around the stage. Does that make them fair game? And how about Brittany Spear's 14 year old sister who when she became pregnant was featured in a lengthy People Magazine article that described how beautiful the occasion was. Why is it a political conversation to begin with? Because your compatriots made it so.

No, JJ, I am not blind. They are all fair game if the parents chose to make them public figures. Comparing Brittany's sister to Palin's daughter is ludicrous. Brittany's sister is in show business. Publicity is publicity. Ad people are paid to get things in the news. I saw the clip of DL's remarks. The word slut was never used. As to the Bush daughters, I believe only the one who chose to drink underage and make a fool of herself was publicly chided. Give it a break already.

Oh I see every thing clearly now. If Obama takes his daughters to a baseball game and the next day Rush says that a baseball player raped one or both of Obama's daughters during the 7th inning stretch, we should all laugh and giggle and say " old Rush said a good funny today, huh? heheheheheh"

Al Gore's son had several missteps, but that was given very little attenton. Cheslea Clinton had some drinking episodes, but did you ever see anything in the MSM about them??? Double standard. NAH!!!

Keedy, I'm glad to see that you too think that Rush is a comedian!

with a skunk......you can't win. Same for the partisan politics credo....if you are not with me you must be against me.

Yes, Rush has his funny moments. He likes to inject a little humor into his great insights. And he usually beats his opponents with half his brain tied behind his back.

Yes, Keedy, that is because his brain begins in his lower back!

Don't ya just love these old crusty one sentence responses? It isn't easy taking up space and time..is it? Try doing it for 3 hours without getting a little stir crazy once in a while.
The lefties tried to talk on the radio but they were so bad that their ratings just tumbled....Much easier to criticize.

And a few hundred Vicoden and a couple of blue pills thrown in.

Never mind COLOGAL....I found the story !!!

Seems an aide to a state senator in Tenn sent this using the wrong email from and to and the state senator is being called upon to fire this aid, which is the right thing to do.

However it hardly comes even close to "a picture circulated by the GOP."

However, if your logic was used imagine how those in 2006 who flooded Virginia with lies about voting on armor for the troops to defeat Allen....or in 2004 when the ACTUAL DEMOCRATIC party sent out phoney emails in a game of gay baiting.

Of course both parties do it but you can only see ONE side as always, and again the point of this thread was that a SITTING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES...A PRESIDENT...after 5 months in office made a statement about a network not supporting what he wants to do. Dont even know if it is true but having a PRESIDENT make this statement TWICE in 5 months is pretty newworthy !
