quote:
ORIGINAL: TheHeretic Imagine, RML, that every time one of our local left-leaning rational posters said something, it was demanded that they answer for the posts of one of our left-leaning completely irrational posters. Regardless of topic. Regardless of whether the consistently smart and rational poster even read, or knew of, the comment from the consistently rabid poster. I'm a wee bit grumpy this morning, RML, so let me know if you can visualize the tables being turned in a smaller venue, before I try moving on with this. Well, the reality is that conservatives are apologizing to Limbaugh at the demand of other conservatives. It is not Democrats asking them to answer for what they said. I mean, how many have we had so far? Steele, Gingrey, Cantor, and I think there were two or three others I'm too lazy to look up right now. How pathetic is it that an asinine blowhard who makes his living by creating controversy has leading Republicans bowing and scraping before him? “I regret and apologize for the fact that my comments have offended and upset my fellow conservatives—that was not my intent. I am also sorry to see that my comments in defense of our Republican Leadership read much harsher than they actually were intended, but I recognize it is my responsibility to clarify my own comments…. “Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Newt Gingrich, and other conservative giants are the voices of the conservative movement’s conscience. Everyday, millions and millions of Americans—myself included—turn on their radios and televisions to listen to what they have to say, and we are inspired by their words and by their determination.” (Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-GA) Rep. Gingrey Bows Down Before Rush Limbaugh So let's see. We have two inflammatory talk show hosts and one disgraced former politician being hailed as the "voices of the conservative movement's conscience". Is this what you are defending?
