Radical Right

Well, I was surfing the drudge report to see what kind of "ideas" the conservatives have and I came across this:

It is a picture of a color guard at Rush Limbaugh's wedding.  I just don't feel like he has earned the honor of a color guard.  It has nothing to do with his views.  I don't think Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, Ed Shultz, or anyone else that has never served has earned that honor.

I don't have too much more to say, this seems wrong and disrespectful.  This isn't honoring the military, this is the military honoring Rush Limbaugh.   Rush Limbaugh has not earned that honor.

Yeah, there are crazies of all stripes; however, I am sick of one side (conservatives) justifying actions by those they respect, listen to, admire, etc.., by saying "it is the same on both sides."
This is a stupid argument.  Let me make two quick points.  First and foremost, unlike a conservative, I believe that if someone does something wrong, it is wrong, whether we philosophically agree or not.

Second, it most definitely NOT the same on both sides.  I can list example after example of equivalent situations on both sides and how the conservatives handled them very differently than progressives; instead, Olbermann makes a good point using a very good example:

Let me preface this comment by saying, I am not trashing Christianity, I am trashing the ignorance and disregard and disrespect for anyone that does not believe as he does.
He essentially degrades anyone who is not Christian.  If you are Christian, it shows. The subtext being that, if you are not Christian, you are somehow less extraordinary, or possibly worse.  I don't care what religion you are, you have to see that it is offensive.

This is NOT a Christian nation.  Men of all colors, creeds, and nationalities have shed blood and gave their lives for a country that stands for respect, and even pride in our differences.  Brit Hume, you disgust me!

I was watching Olbermann, waiting for Rachel Maddow, when Keith played a clip of Michael Steele on Sean Hannity. Olbermann focused on Steele backtracking about Republican's taking over the house or "softening the blow". The real news is not the admission that Republicans won't take back the house, but the admission that Steel doesn't know if they [the Republicans] are ready to take over the house.  When he is asked to answer his own question.
Steele:  "[...] If we do that, are we ready..."
Hannity: "Are you...are you. "

Steele:  "are we ready, are we..."
Hannity: "Answer your own question, do you think they are ready?"
Steele:  "...are we ready, I don't know....."

Then Steele does his normal rambling about power hungry .... drinking the Potomac, you know, the usual Steele nonsense.

Now I can just easily chalk it up to Steele's mindless rambling, but it also seems to be an admission of his lack of confidence of direction and ability of the Republican candidates as well as the message (or lack there of)
