One of the most aggravating memes for Democrats in the last few years has been "both sides do it." It's the most insulting, idiotic, chickenshit copout you can possibly give for incompetent, venal, or simply destructive behavior.
Rush Limbaugh says something utterly despicable. Let's say he's exalting the glories of underage child labor. Immediately, we get a bunch of blowoff, jack-off responses in the mainstream press, when they actually HAVE to comment on or mention something because it is so egregious and inexcusable. Their jack-off response is, however, that "both sides have to rein in their extremists." They NEVER EVER EVER bother to mention what the "other side" has ever said that is even remotely close to what Leader Rush just said. Instead, they jack off, blow it off, and by employing this cheap, LAZY dodge, they avoid talking about the despicable thing that Limbaugh just said.
This is how utter lunatics have become convinced, because our worthless, LAZY media never calls them on it, that they can re-write reality around them.
And that's why we have a whole class of Teabagger freshmen ready to drive this nation (AND YOU FUCKERS IN THE MEDIA TOO) over the cliff: our LAZY, JAGOFF national media has failed to EVER call them to account.
If our media were to EVER do their jobs, they would ask just ONE difficult question of someone like, say, Eric Cantor. Such as: "You want what you want, AND you want it now? Did you formulate that philosophy when you were THREE FUCKING YEARS OLD?"
I'm kidding. That would be crazy. Maybe at least they could ask JUST ONE REPUBLICAN FUCKSTICK where their JOBS legislation is?
JUST ONE?
I'm watching the spectacle of a nation trying to decide if a gun or a long jump is the best way to commit suicide. And I'm just wondering if those blow-dried imbeciles in the media have EVER, EVER, EVER considered that being such lazy hacks at their jobs would lead to something like this.
Didya guys EVER consider that you had a responsibility too?
