Believe me, it's just as frustrating to see some of you twist and spin a reason why it's okay with you if someone you agree with gets a complete pass. You fail in your very first point because I have, indeed, seen other liberals condemn the use of the language no matter who says it. Rush is not an elected official, he's not even a politician, he's an entertainer and a commentator, just like Maher.
I'm not them. How do you expect an entire party to agree on one issue? Here is my stance:
1) Rush has a responsibility to the world because he has a lot of influence on politics. More than he should.
2) Comedians can pretty much say whatever the **** they want.
3) You can say what you want about celebrities but the general public takes a bit more kid-gloves.
I think Rush is a dick for saying what he said, but he apologized. I don't think Maher should have to apologize for calling Palin a ****, because he said it on HBO and he's a comedian and she is a celebrity with a TV show. And Letterman... I don't watch his show either, but I know he's a comedian so he has to get some leeway.
