Hypocrisy on the Left

The following (paraphrased) statements were made in the not too distant past:



Bill Maher:  Sarah Palin is a slut.  Sarah and Michelle Bachmann are boobs.  I could go on and on about Bill Maher - just about every show he says something derogatory towards a conservative.

Ed Schultz:  Laura Ingraham is a slut.

David Letterman:  Sarah Palin could improve her "slutty flight attendant look."

Rush Limbaugh:  Sandra Fluke is a slut.

Notice there's only one conservative on that list above.  The big three networks covered the comments by Maher, Letterman, and Schultz exactly zero times.  They covered the comments by Limbaugh a total of 40 times between March 1st and 11th.  Bill Maher contributed $1 million to Obama, who hasn't uttered a single word about it and who graciously accepted the donation.  Obama also appeared on Letterman's show, hugging and laughing it up with Dave.  And Obama continues to proclaim that we should be more civil and how he wants to raise his daughters in a world without insults and personal attacks.

And then there's this gem I found today on a liberal blog:

"Jesus God, Newt Gingrich is a despicable motherfucker. If I were Queen of the World, I would order him lightly scored with rusty pitchforks, dipped in sulfuric acid, rolled in a bed of broken light bulbs, stuffed into a cannon and fired into a toxic waste dump."

If you're on their team, you get a pass when it comes to hate speech.  If you're on the right, though, you get crucified for the same conduct.  Hypocrisy at its best.
