The Left Gets Blasted While the Extreme Right Gets Free Speech

The focused condemnation of MoveOn.org from inside the Beltway, where doing wrong has been the norm since 1994, means MoveOn must be doing something right with that full page ad in the in the New York Times.

Why has Congress never been challenged to or voted against the much fouler statements from those on the extreme right?

” … Mr. Bush, you have hidden behind the General’s skirts, and today you have hidden behind the skirts of ‘the planted last question’ at a news conference, to indicate once again that your presidency has been about the tilted playing field, about no rules for your party in terms of character assassination and changing the fabric of our nation, and no right for your opponents or critics to as much as respond.” Keith Olbermann, September 20, 2007

“Mr. Bush, you had no right
to order General Petraeus to become your front man.”

Why does the founding principle of freedom of speech only apply to the extreme right? The answer can be found throughout this blog – from the very negative authoritarian traits and the Leo Strauss big lies of this Administration to the blind obedience of their supporting minority “masses.”
