Fred Thompson defends Rush Limbaugh

Fred Thomson has posted a comment on his blog in defense of Rush Limbaugh and his support of our troops:

Congressional Democrats are trying to divert attention from insulting our military leader in Iraq and pandering to the loony left by attacking Rush Limbaugh. He is one of the strongest supporters of our troops, yet Democrats claim he is not being strong enough. I wonder who General Petraeus and his troops think is most supportive?

Join in the discussion as the number of comments grows....

U.S. Senator ... what is worse? Saying "macaca" ... or slamming our troops on floor of Congress?

Rush Limbaugh posed an interesting question today while discussing Sen. Chuck Schumer's slam at our American troops yesterday. Schumer, on the floor of Congress, said:

And let me be clear, the violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge. The inability of American soldiers to protect these tribes from al Qaeda said to these tribes we have to fight al Qaeda ourselves. It wasn't that the surge brought peace here. It was that the warlords took peace here, created a temporary peace here. And that is because there was no one else there protecting.

Rush compared George Allen's use of the word "macaca" that brought down a U.S. Senator ... and Schumer's traitorous remarks slamming the American troops. How could "macaca" be so bad the media thought Allen needed to be removed ... and, yet, they have been silent on Schumer's traitorous criticism of our American troops?

Good question....

Yellow Dog continues ... do lib bloggers defending Stanley agree with what he did?

Do the liberal bloggers agree with the dirty trick pulled by Joe Stanley?

As the Yellow Dog controversy continues to unfold, some liberal democrat bloggers continue to defend Joe Stanley and his dirty political tricks while attacking the conservative bloggers who are protesting the dirty trick. Other lib bloggers who have preached ethical blogging remain silent.

Do the liberal bloggers agree with the dirty trick pulled by Joe Stanley?

Ethics? Hypocrisy? Double standard? Blogging "ethics"?

DeLay smacks down Matt Lauer on media hypocrisy

Finally! A Republican with a backbone to stand up to the media and call them to account for their hypocritical actions. Thank you, Tom DeLay!

DeLay was a guest on NBC's "Today" show Thursday to discuss the incident surrounding Sen. Larry Craig. Lauer began his question by listing a number of controversies involving Republicans.

DeLay responded, “I hate to say this, Matt, but you just showed the problem, the double standard, and you just participated in it. You listed a whole lot of scandals that involve the Republicans, but you didn't mention one Democrat… I think in your premise, if you had listed all the Democrats that are having problems right now, it would have been different. You see, the Democrats re-elect the people with their problems. Republicans kick them out.”

To which Lauer protested but DeLay would not let him get away with defending the double standard. He listed several Democrat scandals including Congressman Alan Mollohan of West Virginia who is under investigation by the FBI yet retains his chairmanship of the FBI budget oversight committee.

He tried to mention William Jefferson of Louisiana who is currently serving his ninth term as congressman. But Lauer cut him off and said, “So, you're saying it's a positive thing. Is it a positive thing that the Republicans do this, they weed out immediately?”

DeLay was insistant and replied, “You don't want me to finish it? Because you don't want me to…” Lauer relented and said, “No, no go ahead.”

DeLay continued, “You have William Jefferson caught with $90,000 of marked bills in a freezer. And they did put him off the Ways and Means Committee, but they put him on a highly sensitive Homeland Security Committee. You have Barney Frank, who was caught with a homosexual prostitute who was reelected over and over again ... Gerry Studds who was caught in a bathroom with an under-aged page and he was re-elected.”

Woo-hoo! A Republican with a backbone....

DeLay explained to Lauer that, when Republicans see that one of their own is guilty, they take care of it which often leads to the a resignation. DeLay continued, "On the other hand, the Democrats don't. And the media, the double standard in the media is amazing. The feeding frenzy, the sharks in the water that's going on right now because of a Republican. Where is the frenzy on Alan Mollohan from West Virginia or William Jefferson from Louisiana?”

Yep. I posted on that double standard today.

Lauer protested, “I think you mentioned William Jefferson. There was an awful lot of coverage of William Jefferson when that story broke, Congressman.”

DeLay retorted, "Yeah, for just a couple of days and then we went on. In the case of a Republican, believe me, I've experienced this, it's day in and day out in the media, and they write this story over and over and over again. We all know the double standard in the media. It's amazing.”

DeLay hit the ball out of the park when he told Lauer, “There are scandals that need to be addressed. Republicans address them; Democrats reelect them.”

We need more Republicans to stand together against the double standard of the media and the Democrats. The dems circle the wagons and protect the guilty, no matter what. When it's a Republican, the dems howl and scream, and Republicans kowtow and boot-out the guilty party.

It is time for Republicans to realize we are at war with MoveOn.org politics. We must fight fire with fire ... or we will not survive.

Double standard from the Dems? Yes ... and from the MSM

Thank you, Bearing Drift, for the post Republicans Resign; Democrats Don't. Republicans get caught in scandal ... and resign almost immediately. Democrats circle the wagons and protect the guilty no matter what.

So what is the difference between the political Parties?

The difference is the double standard of the mainstream media who zoom in like a bunch of vultures when it involves a Republican ... but are amazingly MIA when it involves a Democrat.
