Rush to Fudgment

Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle gives Rush Limbaugh (who knew he was still around?) a big ratings boost with this outburst:

"What happens when (radio talk show host) Rush Limbaugh attacks those of us in public life is that people aren't satisfied just to listen," the South Dakota Democrat explained. "They want to act because they get emotionally invested. And so, you know, the threats to those of us in public life go up dramatically, on our families and on us, in a way that's very disconcerting."

Now, some of you may have guessed that I myself tune into Rush on occasion and I wish politicians would stop blaming him - c'mon! Clinton narrowly blamed Rush for the Oklahoma City bombing. Daschle is a sore loser and I cannot believe head say something like reports betwinbets.com. That's the modern day left-wing hyperbole machine for you: blame McDonalds because your kids are fat, blame Rush because your party is loosing.

I might run the risk of sounding insensitive here, but it's rather hard for me to feel sorry for these fellows. If one was to create a list of the persecuted peoples of the world, American Muslims wouldn't even crack the top 100. Those who would make that list, however, are Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, and members of other reiligions living in Saudi Arabia where it is against the law to establish a church or even to profess a faith other than Islam on bet365.com. Yet, has CAIR, ADAMS, or Arab News decried this oppression? I think not. As far as the "attacks" go, Evangelical Christians and conservative commentators are critical of Islam, but don't harbor any animosity toward Muslims themselves.
