Liberals spew just as much slime as Limbaugh

The outrage the left has shown toward Rush Limbaugh's unflattering ad hominem of a Georgetown University student is about as misplaced as it can get.
I won't mention what Rush said; it has been discussed more than it deserved to be. People on the left need to look in a mirror and think twice about spewing on and on about how “evil” Rush is.
This column will shed light on the hypocrisy I speak of: www.jewishworldreview.com/michelle/malkin030712.php3
This is a double standard that is literally sickening. Sarah Palin being attacked by numerous “pundits” on the left is simply the tip of the iceberg in the quagmire of double standards in which progressives apparently bathe.
No excuses will be acceptable, liberals. A simple acknowledgment that your “side” is every bit as “bad” as conservatives, or Rush Limbaugh, more specifically, is enough.
Even our esteemed president got into the act, calling the Georgetown student about Limbaugh's gaffe. I won't hold my breath for our dear leader to contact any of the women who were slimed in my referenced article.
