So crazy liberals at Obama-Biden events occasionally make fun of Sarah Palin in crude terms, and at times, a more than a few folks have yelled that McCain is a warmonger and a liar. Obama-Biden campaign rallies can be quite toxic to the POV that McCain's a decent guy. And yet the media, complains the McCain campaign, doesn't cover this....it only covers Republicans -- isolated occasional "nut jobs" -- who call Obama an "Arab" ... and a "terrorist." The media never reports that Obama or Biden encourage their crowd to believe that McCain is a liar, or that Sarah Palin is a dilettante. And -- yet yet -- Democrats claim that there is no equivalence; calling Obama a "terrorist" and or saying he pals around with them has subcutaneous coding that's much more dangerous for society -- and for Obama -- than what McCain hears at his rally.
Well, it would be quite silly to say there's moral equivalence between calling someone a "terrorist" and calling someone a "dilettante." But it's curious that I haven't seen hardly any one in the mainstream media report that McCain was called a "murderer" by an Obama supporter at a rally yesterday.
