The Hypocrisy Record Books
By Mitch Berg
1988: Carl Rowan, the WaPo columnist with a long record of vicious attacks on the idea of civilian gun ownership, shoots at a teenager who was in his swimming pool.
2012: Barack Obama, while claiming the GOP is fighting a “War on Women”, pays his female employees much less than his male staff.
2013: DFL rep Ryan “Eddie Haskell” Winkler, who routinely attacks the integrity of his opponents on issues of race, calls accomplished jurist Clarence Thomas “Uncle Tom”.
2014: Media Matters, a George Soros-funded attack-PR firm which has spent years railing against “Right to Work” laws nationwide, brings in the big guns as SEIU tries to unionize MM4A’s underpaid drudge-workers:
Media Matters has retained a law firm whose focus is representing management in labor disputes. It’s forcing its employees into a secret-ballot election, which is the kind of vote card-check proponents like the good folks at Media Matters decry whenever Republicans insist it’s important to maintain.
But the year is still young!

2002; after gaining office with a promise not to exceed two terms, Paul Wellstoned! runs for a third. Job is too important to leave to others.
2008; after electing a man who made his living writing rape jokes, the Democrat party declares the GOP engages in a war on women.
2014; Wealthy leftist hamsters scream bloody murder as light rail transit is proposed to run through their exclusive enclave.
We could go on and on.

2014: There is a 3-way “marriage” in Massachusetts that made the news yesterday. I read the comments in the….online addition of an east coast paper…and the gay-marriage advocates are throwing a fit about it. They say it makes a mockery of the gay-marriage successes. So apparantly marriage equality doesn’t apply to everyone.

Truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction. Well, perhaps “stranger” isn’t quite the correct term.

Chuck: Making a mockery? That’s what I was thinking about five years ago. If they’re shocked, they haven’t been paying attention. Once they get enough political clout, a 3-way marriage will be considered “traditional.”

As pointed out by many here and elsewhere, the popular, emotional reasons given for homosexual marriage equally apply to any marriage involving any number consenting, able-minded adults.
If anything, the “who love each other” applies even more strongly to a union of people who already love each other, like those who share a family bond, through blood or otherwise. Tip of the hat to Woody Allen …

I can see “I love Lamp” wedding invitations in the very near future.

2013: DFL rep Ryan “Eddie Haskell” Winkler, who routinely attacks the integrity of his opponents on issues of race, calls accomplished jurist Clarence Thomas “Uncle Tom”.
And don’t forget, as he backpedaled, he claimed that he wasn’t aware it was a racist term. This from the guy who has a BA in history from Harvard.

“DFL rep Ryan “Eddie Haskell” Winkler, who routinely attacks the integrity of his opponents on issues of race, calls accomplished jurist Clarence Thomas “Uncle Tom”.”
Think Eddie should initiate a slander suit?:

I guess that depends on who said it first …
