My, my, my...
I take off for a couple of weeks (a family reunion in the Keystone state) and all heck breaks loose. Rather than opine on old news (the new MN GOP Chair, Dick (Turban) Durbin) I'll opine on some very recently breaking news....
Last night, Senior White House Advisor Karl Rove spoke before New York State Conservative Party. During the course of his speech, he said "Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers." Conservatives, he said, "saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war." Well, that just sent the Congressional Democrats into apoplectic fits! They are now demanding that Mr. Rove apologize and resign - preferably both! I find this to be quit ironic after the stunning silence of the same Congressional Democrats when one of their senior leaders, on the floor of the Senate, called our men and women in uniform "Nazi's". When the Republican leadership reacted in the same manner that the Democrats are reacting now, we heard (out of the Star Tribune no less) that no apologies are necessary and that the Senator was well within his free speech rights in opening this "necessary" discussion. The calls for resignation/apology were nothing more than "more noise from the right wing noise machine".
Well I am here to say now, Karl Rove has the same free speech rights that Senator Durbin has. If the "right wing noise machine" needs to quit their complaining about what Democratic leadership has to say about them, then the "left-wing noise machine" needs to do the same. After all, free speech is a right for ALL AMERICANS - not just the elites in the Democratic Party and the MSM......
