No. You are a fool. Beck, lied about a presidential advisor in a smear campaign and got the resident to cave. The President now will face even more of the same.

That is the problem.

If you make politics such that you don’t even need to be close to the truth, merely scream loudly enough, you destroy the system.

That is the problem.

ANY POTUS, from any party, who succumbs to stuff like this is a bad sign. It cheapens the presidency and erodes the system.

Well, how about a little hypocrisy served up warm.

Interesting that not that long ago there were lots of folks saying “hey, politics is rough and tumble and you’d better be able to ‘take the punches’…and things like that”.

As others have pointed out SENATOR Trent Lott was forced out for comments made at a Birthday celebration for Strom Thurmond. This was a duly elected Senator of the United States…

Now you have a Political appointee, not even in the same class, being drummed out by (Beck, Youtube, etc..) and people are upset? Seems like politics as usual to me.
