Right-Wing Pundits’ Double Standard on Patriotism
Here’s a nice smoking-gun piece from Fair.org, courtesy of those excellent link-suggesters Glen & Pilar: Dissent, disloyalty & double standards. Basically shows how people like Hannity, Limbaugh, and Savage apply radically different standards for what constitutes “patriotic dissent” and what constitutes “treasonous backstabbing of our men and women in uniform,” based on which party’s president ordered the troops into harm’s way.
Not like this is a shocking revelation or anything, but it’s good to get the examples down in black and white for those few who might be both unaware of this kind of deception and capable of being influenced by having it exposed.
