Too predictable: the hypocrisy of liberals

[jeskibuff]

Within seconds after some little news tidbit hits the media about some Republican accused of impropriety, liberals are quick to not only amplify and exaggerate the story but to judge and condemn the accused before all information is available.

It's been several days since the Eliot Spitzer saga hit the media and what do we hear from FunDUHmental, mrbowler and other liberals on this board who are so eager to color all conservatives with the guilt of a few tarnished ones?

NOTHING!

Just silence, as if (hopefully) no one will notice.

"Just move along....nothing to see here"

Should we be surprised at this? Not at all. The self-righteous hypocrisy of liberals is all too predictable.

...and the liberal media keeps it coming...

Check out [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] with the headline:


Eliot Spitzer (R) holds a news conference in New York City with his wife Silda by his side

The "error" appears again within the body of the article, although later refers to Spitzer as a "Democrat crusader":

New York Governor Eliot Spitzer (R) holds a news conference in New York City with his wife Silda by his side, on March 10. Spitzer came under mounting pressure to resign Tuesday, a day after the Democrat crusader once known as the "Sheriff of Wall Street" was linked to a prostitution ring.

It's really funny how the initial articles that appeared didn't even mention his party affiliation. Okay, maybe not all that funny because the liberal media is so predictable. Of course, articles about the whatshisname Republican caught in "a wide stance" at the airport restroom couldn't repeat "Republican" often enough, could they?

Liberals. Hypocrites. Interchangeable terms, eh?

Well I don't consider myself a liberal, but then again many conservatives feel that anyone who doesn't tow the line on every issue must be a liberal. Also the usual rant of the "liberal Media Bias"-I've said before that you could say the Media when you include all forms of information leans to the conservative side, but folks don't want to hear any of that. I haven't been posting on DOD politics as much because the exchange of different views has declined, and I just haven't been willing to spend as much time during what I consider to be a slower period-once both parties have picked the nominees the usual swift boating will occur, and each side will hit the usual talking points.

p.s. I've been very sick the last week. I've kept up on the Spitzer story, and I agree that since he admitted his guilt that stepping down was the right decision. Just my 2 cents, but you can't expect someone else to post stories for you-go ahead and post about Spitzer, Obama and his relationship with his pastor for the last 20 years etc.

Did I post anything on David Vitter who didn't resign and still asks to give surmons at his church?

I am a see-saw in that on some subjects I lean left and on others I go right.My take is that no matter how much I dislike the picking on those who put themselves in the public eye.The fact that we can roast them for their failings is something to be thankful for as many do not have such freedoms.

No doubt that is what makes the U.S. such a unique place. I don't want to get to long winded, but I have supported the Republican/conservative side on issues such as cracking down on Illegal Aliens, support the notion of fiscal conservatism(although I've pointed out the failure of the current adm. on budget problems etc.), and I supported the Iraq situation when the case of WMD was made.
