> As opposed, of course, to how well the Left policies it own. > Is that always your answer? "You're another"? Deal with the issue at hand: Rush Limbaugh is demanding an accommodation for himself that he has expressly insisted, loudly and without compassion or mercy, not be accorded anyone else who has done similar things. That's blatant hypocrisy. It doesn't matter who on the "Left" (which hardly exists anymore, alas, and which certainly does not have the ability to reach as many people as Rush Limbaugh does) may have done what. Rush wants to be treated in a way that he has always bleated no one else should be treated.
Thing is, when just about ANYONE gets in trouble, they suddenly discover all kinds of rights that they may never have thought about or even wanted to deny other people. Oliver North was not acquitted, after all; his conviction was overturned on a technicality. Funny, I don't recall any "lawnorder" types bitching about permissive judges when that happened. It's just human nature. Right-wingers like to say, "a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged." They fail to mention the converse, "a liberal is a conservative who's been arrested." Only thing is, Rush is such an obnoxious pig, so loud and so absolutely certain of his own genius and infallibility and perfect rectitude, that you can't blame people for piling on when he brings all this shit down upon himself, and then acts like he did nothing wrong, and it's all someone else's fault, and then hides behind his lawyers - exactly the kind of behavior that he has always shrieked about when someone he doesn't like does. Why doesn't he practice what he's been preaching? Again, it's simple human nature, but he has never been so understanding of anyone else's foibles. You'd hope being revealed as flawed would teach him a lesson; but I guess you'd be wrong. You deal with Rush, since he's one of your own (and you can have him). Leave the Left to the liberals.
