A Walk on the Left Bank

While the left continues to fulminate about Rush, a little walk down memory lane is in order to see the left's idea of "respecting women" which includes Playboy advocating "hate-f***ing" Michelle Malkin, Letterman making a joke about the statutory rape of Sarah Palin's daughter, Perez Hilton calling Carrie Prejean a "dumb b***ch," etc. ad nauseum.

Now where is the pulling of sponsors and the unrelenting rehash by the media about the treatment of these conservative women? Don't hold your breath.

See the left's idea of respect for women here. And then ask whether Rush's statements, for which he has apologized, were as egregious as they are. Frankly, I didn't hear obscenities coming out of his mouth.  He was insulting and provocative and imprudent, but the unbalanced outrage vs. the shrug and wink about demeaning treatment of women coming from the left is breathtakingly hypocritical! And that hypocrisy includes Sandra Fluke's. She didn't mind appearing on Ed Schultz's show. Remember him? He called Laura Ingraham a "right wing slut." He apologized and Ingraham graciously accepted it, unlike Fluke's petulant attitude toward Rush.

But hypocrisy is the left's badge of honor. They follow Saul Alinsky's adage to make your opponents abide by their rules, while no rules apply to you. If you want to understand the left, read Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. It's a real eye-opener that explains everything you see coming out of the progressive camp. Jesus knew all about this which is why he advised his followers:

"Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves."

Rush was pretty accurate when he said he shouldn't have sunk to the level of his opponents. I agree.  We need to remember, as Christians, that they are not the enemy, just the useful dupes of the father of lies. Pray, fast, and fight for the truth. Nothing makes the left more upset than that.
