re: #452 WindUpBird

The real question is who is more powerful, and who is doing more damage. The answer is blindingly obvious.

I think you’ve hit the crux of this. Let’s assume the worst for a second and say for the sake of argument that what Glover said was maliciously intended and he meant that the earthquake was divine retribution for our poor behavior at Copenhagen. What does that change vis a vis Pat Robertson? Not a damn thing, but there will be idiot talking heads on the right that try to do the lowest common denominator thing and say something along the lines of: “Look the left has people equally as bad, quit worrying about what Robertson or Rush said.”

I would only respect someone on the right who said that what Rush and Robertson said is 10 times worse, and then condemned Glover’s statement as being stupid and wrong. That way even though they are jumping the shark, their credibility is still at least somewhat in tact.
