Cue the Nazis. Or, Brent Bozell has really, really bad timing

Aside from the fact that his Media Research Center anti-Pelosi press release from Thursday was borderline incoherent (did she ever make reference to radio talk show hosts?), the proclamation from Bozell that the media needed to doggedly call out hate speech did represent a monumental bout of hypocrisy.
Like, world-class.
Bozell was all bent out of shape because Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi made reference to the fact that some members of the GOP mini-mobs unleashed on town hall forums were carrying "swastikas." For Bozell, the mere mention of anything Nazi--the mere insinuation that anyone involved in our political debate was a Nazis or Nazi-like--was just too much.
“The media have a responsibility to report on this hate speech, who is behind it and how vicious it has become,” shrieked Bozell.
Again, for Bozell the game breaker was the mention of Nazi's. To Bozell's ears, that was just completely out of bounds. Period. No exceptions.
Whatever you say Brent.
Please note that this is what Bozell's beloved right-wing talkers said on the same day that Bozell condemned any use of Nazi references in our political discourse:
*Limbaugh: "Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate"
*Limbaugh claims Obama "sending out his brownshirts"
*Limbaugh: "[T]he Obama health care logo is damn close to a Nazi swastika logo"
*Beck links health care reform to Nazis, suggests reform would kill elderly and newborns
To quote the great Brent Bozell, "The media have a responsibility to report on this hate speech, who is behind it and how vicious it has become."
Apsotrophe s means possessive, as "this is some Nazi's helmet. He must have dropped it while he was invading Poland."
You know who else incorrectly used apostrophe s for the plural? Hitler.
Also possible? He just doesn't have time in his day to call out all the Nazi references coming from the Right, so he just sticks to calling out Democrats. Convenient that the Right regularly holds others up to a standard that they themselves cannot mean. Right, Governor Sanford?
Is it OK for "real Americans" to call Obama and Democrats Nazis? Does the media have a repsonsibilty to show examples of these "real Americans" displaying their signs, many with swastikas or Hitler stashes painted on Obama's face?
On a side note. Can CNN re-hire that lady they fired for going into the belly of the Douche Bagging Protest in Chicago and reporting on EXCATLY WHAT WAS GOING ON. Notice how the most accurate report on the Douche Baggers and what they were really up to led to her own firing? Any rational human being that is not a shill for the sour grapers on the right should have reacted the same way she did. CNN is a bigger joke than Fox. At least I know where Fox stands. CNN is just a bunch of spineless pukes.
If any of the billion blind followers of the pope give you a hard time over revealing the TRUTH, send them to my http://CatholicArrogance.Org/RCscandal where I show how much blood the Roman Catholic Church has on its hands over the Jewish Holocaust.
