Of motes and beams
Liberal shill Howard Kurtz finally notices something:
Taking offense has become a political art form.
At times it seems that our politicians are such delicate flowers that they wilt at the slightest rhetorical breeze from the other side. How heartless the opponents must be to offend their fragile sensibilities.
What’s really happening, of course, is that there’s a lot of mock outrage out there as each side tries to cast itself as the victim of unfair attacks–and, in the process, get its adversaries to tone it down.
This is true enough, of course. But I find it highly amusing that the only examples Kurtz can bring himself to mention all involve Republicans taking offense — laughable, considering Obama’s latest attempt to cast discussing the issues as…a distraction from discussion of the issues:
“These are the same guys who helped engineer the distraction of the war in Iraq at a time when we could have pinned down the people who actually committed 9/11,” Obama said on his campaign plane.
“What they’re trying to do is to do what they’ve done every election cycle, which is to use terrorism as a club to make the American people afraid,” Obama said.
Maybe it’d be easier for the Messiah to provide a list of “issues” he IS willing to discuss, now that he’s declared the failed Democrat law-enforcement approach to “fighting” terrorism off limits, along with his judgment, his character, his unsavory associations, and his threadbare record of “achievement.”
Talk about “fragile sensibilities” — not that Howie and the rest of the Old-Media Obama cheerleaders will ever deign to notice, naturally.
