The capacity for selective outrage never ceases to amaze me, I'm as guilty of it as anyone else. Secondly, I am not for a second suggesting that Don's comments were anything but wildly inappropriate and that he shouldn't have been called on the carpet for it.
But what does make me Spock my eyebrow is this torch bearing citizeny mood about it. People are stopping just short of calling for the man to be strung up, for heaven's sake, and lo and behold, the Main Stream Media (you know, that eeeeevil bastion of liberal politics and sensibilities) have helped whip up this feeding frenzy. What I want to know is, why? Where the hell were the MSM or people calling for his head when Ann Coulter called Muslims ragheads? For that matter, where were they when Bill O'Reilly said it would be okay by him if Al Qaeda attacked San Francisco? Or Michael Savage anytime he opens his mouth? I just don't get it.
