your partisan double standard-ing
Observation number one:Â If, say, Clarence Thomas had made the same remarks about, say, Hillary Clinton as Ruth Bader Ginsberg did regarding Donald Trump… what would you, Mr/Ms Democrat / Liberal (and never mind what, precisely, you think of Hillary Clinton) be saying right now?
Yes, I know… Trump is just that unprecedented, as Ginsberg would never say that about — oh– George W or Jeb Bush, but…
Yes, I think Ginsberg should tread not at all into these partisan waters until she retires.
Observation number two:Â See the same thing about the relationship between rhetorical excesses and the lone gun killer in Dallas… See, say, the immediate response on Giffords to align it to Sarah Palin, as pondered by Chuck Klosterman’s I Wear the Black Hat.
