Your side chose the rules of engagement over the last 8 years, utilizing the politics of personal destruction and irrevocably lowering the level of political discourse in this country to unprecedented depths. By your silence, you supported some of the most outrageous attacks on conservatives and anybody else who got in your way in your mad dash for power and glory. Indeed, some of you joined in the slander and the hate, and did so with relish. The heinous and baseless attacks on the Palin family are still taking place today, over 6 months after the election. David Letterman said things that in an earlier day would have resulted in horsewhipping, yet he is still sitting in his comfy seat, lying his butt off by saying he meant to slander an 18 year old, not a 14 year old.

Like that makes it any better. And if you accept that non-apology, then that makes you just as bad as he is. Let me spell it out for you simpletons; what Letterman said was inappropriate no matter who it was aimed at. If you don't get that, then substitute Obama's daughters for Palins and see how that grabs you. Better yet, substitute your own children.

As I said, you laid out the rules of engagement; you targeted families, you went as low as it is humanly possible to go, and you were happy and proud to do so. Like your idol says, "If you can win, win." The ends justify the means, right?

Well, since that's the way you wanted it, don't expect me to get all hot and bothered because something some anonymous assistant says or does offends your suddenly delicate sensibilities. To be honest, I don't care whether you get offended or not. I don't care if your feelings get hurt. This is the politics the way you wanted it, so grow up and deal with it.

When David Letterman loses his job for the things he said over those two nights, then I'll start to take you seriously. When you start holding your own side accountable for what they say and do, when you force them to start cleaning their own house of racists, bigots, sexists, and other scum, then I'll concede that you have a little bit of room to criticize the other side of the aisle. Until then, any cries of moral outrage coming from you are nothing more than grandstanding hypocrisy, masked by your own delusions of righteousness.

Clean your own house.

Agree with you that to makes it any better and if you accept that non-apology then that makes you just as bad as he is.
