The department of double standards, ctd

By: Sonny Bunch

Megan McArdle has a nice roundup of Reason’s latest string of posts about the hypocrisy of the left. And John McCormack points to an excellent post rounding up the double standard on threatening the president: Not so bad when it’s Bush, bloody awful when it’s Obama and a health care townhall is on. Just remember: Carrying a sign calling for the death of then-President Bush while a war is raging is the highest form of patriotism; carrying a sign threatening Barack Obama is the worst thing ever.
