I didn`t hear the President condemn Limbaugh (5.00 / 0) (#8)

The official White House statement was to defend all Americans` right to free speech. Uh, yeah; the sky`s also still blue, last I looked, and most people continue to be in favor of puppies and kittens and pie.

That`s a far cry from the President himself making it a point, at a media availability, to single out Limbaugh and call his statements "disgusting".

Nor did he revise his previous position, still standing, that Limbaugh is a Nastional Treasure and why his show is broadcast to troops abroad due to its Morale Boosting (pro-Bush) qualities while liberal programming is blocked.

(Word to Our Side: accepting this weaseling only shores up the double standard.)

Yes, and their comment deflected the question (none / 0) (#26)

Perino didn`t address the issue, and the Dem "leadership" continues to be a day late and a dollar short when they get their asses handed to them.

Not only did a substantial number of them rush to condemn (needlessly) MoveOn on the @(&$# House and Senate floor, now they're displaying their usual weak strategy by intending to finish off a knife fight by wielding pre-moistened q-tips.

They're sending a strongly-worded letter to Clear Channel demanding an apology. That, too, is a far cry from an official denunciation from the floor(s). From ThinkProgress

Yesterday, ThinkProgress asked whether lawmakers who voted to attack a MoveOn newspaper ad would now condemn Limbaugh. The Senate leadership is challenging all their colleagues to demonstrate whether they can show principled condemnation by signing onto the letter. It specifically calls on Clear Channel to issue an apology and demands Limbaugh do the same.

[snippet of letter omitted]

Read the full letter here. Call your Senators and ask them to signon.


(At this point, my last, frail hope is that the letter`s not on stationary that has a smiling bumblebee telling some daffodils, "Here's the latest buzz!")
