As the recent verbal war in Washington, D.C. unfolds, the ever-duplicitous Left is succeeding in doing just what they had hoped: They're deflecting attention away from the betrayal of America by a leader of the Democratic Party.
Democratic officials and their Media minions are implying a moral equivalence between the following very unequal assertions: First, Richard Durbin equated the American military with Nazis, Soviets, and Pol Pot; and second, Karl Rove pointed out what is demonstrably true: liberals would rather blame the victim for 9-11's butchery than take the fight to our enemies.
In other words, Durbin's clearly treasonous attack against our military is of no greater offense or validity than Rove's factually-correct summary of two very different responses to Jihad in America.
The only thing these two statements share is that people were offended and wanted an apology (though for different reasons)--Democrats were offended because someone dared to tell the truth about their moral cowardice, and Americans were offended because a politician attacked the honor and integrity of American heroes.
[It is telling that when running for President, Democrats run from the label "liberal" like schoolboys from their books, but when liberals' lack of moral clarity and courage is pointed out publicly, Democrats take offense. Who's fooling whom?]
Even Rich Lowry, a token conservative on The News Hour, allowed the false comparison to be made today without protest.
That shouldn't be too surprising--Lowry had recently appeased one of Jihad's cells in America (CAIR), when he retracted his publication's support for the sale of a text telling the truth about Islam.
Perhaps, Lowry has more in common with America's Left than he might want to admit.
