it's almost the same situation with the Rosen/Nugent thing.

Rosen wasn't even on my radar, and hardly had BHO courting her as the Mutt did Nugent because of his high profile and influence with the nutttiest of the rightwingnuts.

What has always slayed me when debating this issue with rightwingers elsewhere, most of them were on record at one time or another calling dem pols in particular, pussies, like pussies make a habit outta spewing hate speech.

But hey, having things "both ways" in that manner is as critical to their denial maintence as the false equivalence is that they are generally a part of.

This issue is why I've spent the last ten years calling and referring to them as brownshirts, because the only diff between them and their ideological cousins is the lack of a real club being used, but they wield their rhetorical one in an identical manner.

And of course, they are no strangers to the "Big Lie" technique all this kinda dishonest garbage serves.
