Media, Double Standards & Right-Wing Hypocrisy

The right-wingnuts continue to masterfully manipulate the "mainstream" media. This past week conservative attack dogs got the media to focus more on John Edwards' bloggers and Nancy Pelosi's plane than any imporant issues like the Iraq War or the trial of Scooter Libby and the mounting evidence that Dick Cheney is guilty of treason. I could not keep with it all but Media Matters.org has done an excellent job of countering the right-wing propaganda. Turns out, Nancy Pelosi NEVER requested a big commercial plane to carry her, her family, friends and the whole liberal congress around the country. It was the seargant in arms who made the request for a military plane that could fly non-stop to CA, for Pelosi's safety. As for the feminist bloggers hired by John Edwards, I personally find nothing they wrote in the past about Catholicism offensive, I agree with their attacks on the patriarchal catholic church. Edwards had to distance himself from their past blog attacks on the Catholic Church, but he refused to fire them as demanded by Bill Donahue and the Catholic League for Relilgious and Civil Rights. Donahue's attacks on the the anti-catholic liberal bloggers is an excellent example of conserrvative hypocrisy and double standards. These guys (Limbaugh, O'Reilley, Hannity, and Donahue) constantly cry and whine about "bigotry" against white men, catholics, christians, conservatives, etc. , despite the bigotry that their big mouths spit out about gays, feminists, atheists, liberals, immigrants, etc. Listen to the statatements by Bill Donhue attacking gays, jews and liberals:

Donohue has said:

"People don't trust the Muslims when it comes to liberty." [MSNBC's Scarborough Country, 2/9/06]

"The gay community has yet to apologize to straight people for all the damage that they have done." [MSNBC's Scarborough Country, 4/11/05]

Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. It's not a secret, OK? And I'm not afraid to say it. ... Hollywood likes anal sex. They like to see the public square without nativity scenes. I like families. I like children. They like abortions. I believe in traditional values and restraint. They believe in libertinism. We have nothing in common. But you know what? The culture war has been ongoing for a long time. Their side has lost." [MSNBC's Scarborough Country, 12/8/04]

"Name for me a book pulishing company in this country, particulary in new york, which would allow you to publish a book which would tell the truth about the GAY DEATH STYLE. There are certain things that the left won't tolerate. They are censorial at heart. Indeed, the signature appetite of the left has always been power." [MSNBC, Scarborough Country, 2/27/04]

You get the idea.. BILL DONANUE IS A BIGOT AND A HYPOCRITE (just like Limbaugh, O'Reailly and Sean Hannity!)
