Consider What Was Said

I don't know if all of Rush Limbaugh's critics really have a complete understanding of what is happening here. Rush could have been more selective of his words, but the jist of his statement was true. The Democrats have found a way to reintroduce a touchy issue that two out of three voters don't support or are at best apathetic. Blacks shouldn't get behind anything that diminishes their numbers. Though they might be quiet on this issue.I bet the Hispanic population won't join this protest.

This brings to mind Don Imus and the Rutgers women's basketball team. Who by the way took a surprising stand against his colleague. You would think of all the people in the world he would understand this unofficial witch hunt. His comments were actually more insulting than those of Limbaugh. Unless of course he is just jockeying for the newly available market share. I'm not surprised at AOL and some of the other media outlets. They are anticipating the money that will be spent by the Democrats. Columnist Kristen Powers said it best. "There is a double standard at work here." Liberal men are allowed  to be misogynist. If Chris Matthews or Bill Maher said the same thing; would there be  such an uproar? If you dropped your wallet full of cash, would you care who turned it in? Forget who said it and consider what was said.
