Do they really lose sleep about this at Free Republic? Do they have threads over there comparing Rush to a rightwing Bartcop? Do they worry about the lies, hype, and puffery of their Hannitys, O'Reillys, Coulters, Safires, etc?
Not that we should be like them, but they do not seem to forget which side they are on, and do not do our work for us.
A lie is not a lie. It is like the way the news media analyzed the ads of Bush and Kerry. They felt compelled to be non-partisan, and to find something wromg with each side. Nothing wrong with that, except they seemed to ignore matter of degree. I think Krugman said they were comparing jaywalking to first degree murder, or as Somerby wrote: "Yes, your “press corps” micro-nitpicks Kerry, searching for single words to examine. But Cheney? He commits the world’s most laughable blunder and all of them know that it mustn’t be mentioned!"
