Rove=Durbin Cathing On

(I know: editing error in the title. Supposed to be "Catching." Can't change now though, already sent out the trackbacks.)

Yesterday we theorized that the left's manufactured outrage regarding Karl Rove's remarks about liberals were a thinly veiled attempt to equate Rove with Dick Durbin, whose remarks endangered troops in a time of war and offered the enemy some much needed propaganda on a silver patter.

If there is one thing about the left that I have learned it is this: Any time one of their politicians is disgraced through their own actions, they respond with mock indignation at some perceived affront by a Republican in an effort to generate similar outrage by the people. It works almost never. Nevertheless, the moonbat set is screaming for an apology and even Rove's resignation today.

Sound familiar?

It is so obviously an attempt to shame Rove as Durbin shamed himself.

Our nuanced left, of course, misses the obvious difference between the remarks of the two men. Not only did Rove's remarks fail to endanger anyone or anything, except for perhaps Democratic election hopes in 2006 and 2008, they were for all intents and purposes, correct.

Nevertheless, liberals on the hill are atwitter with mock indignation, proving once again that they have no idea how to tell the difference between raw-bones propaganda and a characterization of a belief system.

"[Rove's comments were] a slap in the face to the unity that America achieved after Sept. 11, 2001." -- Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.

"If the president really believed his own words of unity, then he should fire Karl Rove... [Rove] owes an apology to every one of those families who paid the ultimate price on Sept. 11." -- Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.

For Rove "to try to exploit 9/11 for political purposes once again just shows you how desperate they are," said House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi

Let us not forget, we were told by some of these same people that remarks by Durbin were not worthy of the coverage ond outrage they received by every-day Americans. In fact, Harry Reid even stood behind those remarks.

Baldilocks, via Michelle Malkin, puts that in context with the rhetoric of the left today.

Soldiers get their lives endangered but no one is supposed to say jack. Liberals get their feelings hurt and scream bloody murder.

Scream bloody murder is right. I've never seen them so unhinged. Once again I say, the doves will do and say anything to end this war with little to no regard for a victorious outcome. They will use any rhetoric, and say anything about anybody to bring their anti-American desires to fruition. But God help the man, or the woman, who calls the doves...doves.
