Reply #6: Well, of course the Repubs framed it the way they wanted! [View All]

[gratuitous]

But they were easily able to do so thanks to the red, white and blue tornado previously mentioned, and the reluctance of whatever liberal/progressive pundits who have access to the airwaves (Hello Paul Begala!) to defend her or to take the position in hand, and perhaps restate it or refine it.

Hell, Santorum and Bush can make the most mind-numbingly stupid statements anyone has ever heard, but do the Republican commentators put trash cans on their heads or hide under their desks? They do not. Instead, they come out and defend these jackasses even if they have to say that whatever idiocy crawled out of Santorum's or Bush's mouth meant the exact opposite of what they actually said.

It would have taken far less to "rehabilitate" what McKinney said than it does to reformulate the ignorant utterances issued by the Dim Son on a daily basis, but nobody on the Democratic side with access to a microphone felt obliged to stand up for or to help out McKinney.

Just shameful of the Horse to pile on like this, and not take the pink tutu Democrats to task. I have to disagree with them as well.
