Well, I think Nyhan can go fuck himself. He's just playing his old Very Very Reasonable Centrist act.
Do I approve of accusing Rush Limbaugh of treason and hoping his kidneys fail? Not really, I guess. But demanding that my fellow liberals all go ritually denounce Wanda Sykes after having to take this same kind of crap from the people controlling the country for eight years? Oh my stars and garters! Bah, life is short, Rush Limbaugh is a loathsome, racist, lying carbuncle of a man and I'm sick of bending over backwards.
but you really have to make a stand somewhere against the growing threat that liberals actually believe that the civilian president should take precedence over a war president....
Hey, if these media wanks had said, "Limbaugh is a disgusting excuse for a human being and he deserved it," i'd be fine with that. But they tried to downplay it, which is exactly the same bullshit the wingnuts have been doing for similar trangressions on their side.
