For one, that's a set of charges leveled against a sitting Senator, not a college student. I think that Scott Brown is in a much better position to defend himself against charges in the media than a grad student being smeared without facts by a nationally syndicated radio host. Two, those charges against Scott Brown are largely supported. Strong comments? Certainly true. Categorically different than smearing a college student for being a "slut"? Quite. > And as for Maddow, she's a blatant liar. One of many examples: > > http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2011/feb/18/rachel-maddow/rachel-maddow-says-wisconsin-track-have-budget-sur/ Yup, looks like they properly nailed her for that one. She definitely took the numbers out of context and used it for a partisan argument. No debate there. > "Nor do I, just read about them. So, given that, I may be wrong about Maddow > and Olbermann.

Still a hell of a long ways to go to convince me that even Olbermann is anywhere near the category of slime that Rush is. I see nothing but a false equivalence here from you, but I'll keep a critical eye out. We shall see, I'm sure that there will be plenty of opportunities for political commentators to drag themselves deeper into the muck, being an election year and all.
