The same people who went ballistic with outrage over blog rumors about Obama (that he attended a Muslim school in Indonesia, that he knew exactly who Bill Ayers was before 2008, etc.) are now acting like it’s perfectly OK to spread patently false slanders against Palin. Obama is admirable for fighting back, Palin is vilified for fighting back. Why the double standard?

I’m not vilifying her. And there’s no double standard. My position is consistent — I wouldn’t like it if Obama started threatening lawsuits against bloggers and media, and I don’t like it when Sarah Palin does.
