What the right wing is doing is almost exactly what the Left did during the Bush years, only worse. And remember how proudly they proclaimed themselves the “adults,” the ones who operated on reason, facts, and evidence, the ones who saw the world “as it is” instead of through rose-colored glasses? Remember the pride they took in fact-checking, in catching the Left (especially the media) being willfully gullible? Remember the “24-hour rule”?

I guess this stuff only works one way. Wait, no, it doesn’t. When you don’t apply the same rules to yourself that you demand from your opponent, it means you’re cynical and completely lacking in integrity.
