Via Ace of Spades:
MSNBC "Analyst" Malcolm Nance
Sorry -- I've been trying to convince people on the right that the only way to fight a double-standard is to finally insist on a single-standard, and impose the same rules on our Ruling Class that they impose on us.It's not that you guys aren't important -- it's just that most of you already agree.But there's a contingent on the right that keeps arguing that we must pretend the rule we want is already in force, and can't seem to grasp that the rule we don't want is already in force, but only selectively deployed against us.See, for example, this solid citizen whose objection to disorganized violence against the right is that it should be more organized so it will be more effective.But CNN, the Washington Post, and the New York Times will keep writing apologias for leftist violence -- when they bother to even acknowledge it.Now is not the time to start yelling "Rhetoric doesn't cause violence!" 1, it almost certainly does -- a society that condones thievery will see more thieving, after all -- and 2, we cannot continue living under the "Republican rhetoric only causes violence!" rule.A bad rule is many times worse when it is only applied against a disfavored caste.
Read the whole thing.
