ThinkProgress: A Double Misnomer

Fri, Oct 26, 2007 at 1:04:22 pm PDT

Criticize Nancy Pelosi for wearing a headscarf while pandering to the Syrian regime, and the “progressives” will mock you and doubt that you’d criticize Laura Bush in the same circumstances.

Criticize Laura Bush for wearing an abaya and a scarf while in the religious apartheid, undeniably misogynist kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the “progressives” will turn around and... mock you for being “intolerant:” Right Wing Enraged: Laura Bush Is A ‘Butt-Kisser’ For Wearing Headscarf In Mideast.

Just another day in the blatantly hypocritical world of ThinkProgress and their idiot leftist fellow travelers.

UPDATE at 10/26/07 11:10:45 pm:

Allahpundit is on target as usual: Lefty spin yesterday: Righties won’t condemn Laura Bush; Lefty spin today: Righties will condemn Laura Bush.

I know I’m preaching to the choir but understand this about these idiots: for all the whining they do about the “right-wing noise machine,” for all the paranoid accusations they toss around about us supposedly getting our marching orders from Karl Rove, there are no conservative bloggers remotely as servile towards their political leadership as Media Matters and Think Progress are to theirs. You won’t hear any Republican candidates boasting about having started LGF; you won’t find any Bush cronies with their fingerprints on Hot Air. That sort of creepy, embarrassing task-mastery is reserved exclusively for the left and their faux-outrage Finger Wags of Shame, which are themselves designed simply to inject narratives into the mainstream media to spin coverage for political advantage, not out of any genuine objection. Consider this a reminder, just so we’re on the same page.

And please note as well that the drones at ThinkProgress and HuffingtonPost could not care less about the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia; they just use the issue as a convenient weapon with which to attack their political enemies.
