For those of you waiting for Super Tuesday commentary...I'll be posting that tomorrow. As with many primaries, I want to give a full day to give a quality analysis.

Just in case you live under a rock, Rush Limbaugh is under fire from the Drive-By Media for rhetorically calling a woman who claimed her birth control cost her over $1000 per year and therefore expects it to be paid for by someone else, a "slut." In context, by the way, if you want to be honest and read the transcript, here's the link, it was largely a tongue in cheek rhetorical statement. I grant you, it was in poor taste. Even tongue in cheek, it's really not appropriate to call a woman a slut. On either side of the aisle. Period. (FYI - anyone who comments on me "defending Rush's words"...read this part!)
However, and this is my point today: Liberals say FAR worse things FAR more frequently, and it's ignored, brushed under the rug, or simply explained away as "comedy." (Translation - it's cute when WE do it.)
Of course, when one is honest enough to read the ENTIRE transcript* they find out that Rush was being entirely facetious and using a rhetorical device called "demonstrating absurdity by being absurd." More importantly, if one is completely honest, they will find that liberals have said far, far worse things about conservative women, both politicians and entertainers like Rush from the other side of the aisle, and the Drive-By Media is not at all interested in telling those stories.
Bill Maher can call Sarah Palin a "cunt" and a "twat" on more than one occasion. This is just fine with the Drive-By Media. Liberal talk show host Ed Schultz can call conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham a "slut", twice, no problem. "Comedian" Kathy Griffin can insult Sarah Palin, Todd Palin, and her children, no big deal. David Letterman can make jokes of a sexual nature about then 14 year old Willow Palin (daughter of Sarah Palin), again, brushed under the rug. When Keith Olberman says that conservative pundit and author S.E. Cupp's mother should have aborted her, was she called by the President to be consoled? Of course not (although I doubt Ms. Cupp would've accepted the call anyway). Oh, and by the way, if you're like me in the Tea Party, you've been called a "Teabagger" by liberals everywhere countless times, including Senators Chuck Schumer and John Kerry, not to mention President Obama.
All of this is fine, according to the Left. None of the above was explained thoroughly in a 20 minute monologue with a clear and obvious tongue in cheek nature to make a rhetorical point. When you press liberals about THESE instances, we receive one of two answers. It's either a) viceral and angry statements about how the conservatives being attacked clearly deserved it for some invented reason or b) we're simply told "it's cute when we do it."
The truth is the Left has two very different standards for itself and for conservatives. The above was 10 times worse than what Rush said, in context. But the Drive-By Media is disinterested in facts. It's time to crucify a conservative. Plain and simple.
*If you haven't and you've only seen a one minute clip at most from a Drive-By Media video, please do not bother to comment on this blog because I will absolutely be forced to make fun of you and give you a funny name in a follow up post.
