Held To A Higher Standard

I usually like the Camille Paglia column over at salon.com but today's kinda irked me.

In essence, she is holding all conservatives in general and conservative talk radio in particular to a higher standard of decorum than her fellow liberals.

Technically, that's hypocrisy. But Camille tries to be fair for the most part so I'll try to be nice.

It just doesn't seem legit that conservatives are criticized for slipping up occasionally and saying something unkind or unfair and liberals get to screech and scream vile, vicious and intellectually vapid crap all the time.

It's as if you aren't taken as "serious" by liberals unless you are foaming at the mouth claiming some kind of victim status. Otherwise, in Ms. Paglia's books you are Seven Days In May "paranoid".
