Harry Reid: Rush Limbaugh Worthy Of Congressional Condemnation, MoveOn's Attack On General Petraeus Totally In Bounds

Wrap your mind around the surreal yet somehow asinine doublethink of this beautiful piece of prose:

“Freedom of speech is one of our country’s most cherished values. Nothing sets us further apart than the countries and regimes we oppose than our belief that everyone’s opinion matters, and everyone has the right to express it. That is why, when we hear things on the radio that are offensive, by and large, we tolerate them. But last week, Rush Limbaugh went way over the line – and while we respect his right to say anything he likes, his unpatriotic comments cannot be ignored."

And yet MoveOn.org's attack on General Petraeus was not worthy of condemnation. This is quite simply outstanding.

Democratic Jews: you guys have done a fantastic job making your party both responsible and reasonable. They are in no way beholden to interests that are antithetical - domestically and internationally - to everything you claim to stand for. Keep it up for another century or so and you might manage to make the Democratic Party something other than openly anti-Semitic.
