"I'm rough around the edges, and I always will be," Moran told Fox News Channel's Brian Wilson.

I don't know why Lott didn't try this approach..."I'm a dunce, and always will be." I'm sure that would have worked.....yeah....that's the ticket.

Sadly, I don't believe for a minute that Lott is a racist....but I'm absolutely convinced that Moran is an anti-semite.

"I'm rough around the edges, and I always will be," Moran told Fox News Channel's Brian Wilson.

Moron, you're a backpedalling mouthpiece for the Democratic Crime Syndicate, trying to throw anything out there that will impede the efforts of this president, this nation.

Here's another aspect of a double standard that was not mentioned. Trent Lott's comments were not overt. He said, in essence, that ST was a great guy and we should have done some of the things he advocated over the years. The offended parties had to INFER that he meant ST's racist policies, but these were never mentioned.

But with Moran, he flat out said which group it was he hated.

Double standard - Jim Moran (D)Virginia 'Jews are the cause of this war.'

Double standard - Patty Murray (D)Wash 'Usama is a kind gentle person who builds day care centers.'

Double standard - Marcy Kaptur (D)Ohio 'Terrorists are just like early US patriots.'

Hillary Clinton (D)NY 'FJB's.'

Robert Byrd (D)WVa (former klansman) 'I'm going to use that word. There are white n----.'

Something is drastically wrong in that democrat party.......

Ms. Pelosi said it will be a new day for Democrats, they will get their message out so the people will understand what they mean and where they stand she also used the old mantra "it's for the children" several times.

Well the message is out loud and clear, Party over Principal and the people are more aware than ever that Hypocrisy Reins with democrats. Moran was far and away more damming in his remarks than Lott ever was!

The Socialist Democrat Ms. Pelosi is hardly a new leaf in the DNC, her rhetoric is the same 'ol same 'ol forthechildren turgid message, slippery-green and empty.

As odious as were Moran's remarks, in contrasting Moran's situation with Trent Lott's, let's remember that while Lott was forced to resign as Majority Leader, he kept his Senate seat.

If Moran were, for example, Speaker of the House, I think the pressure would be huge for him to step down. But as a back bencher, it's hard to see why Moran should go while Lott got to stay.

So let him stay, but let Darrell Green run and beat him next year!

Conservatives Tuesday criticized the muted response from the Democratic leadership in Congress to allegedly anti-Semitic remarks made by Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) compared to their outcry over racially insensitive remarks last year by then-Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.).

Gee, have they considered that maybe NOBODY needs to have an "outcry" over a few simple remarks by ANYBODY? Does this mean that conservatives have now accepted the proposition that we should all be self-righteous, hypersensitive dimwits, ready to leap for the jugular every time somebody speaks about race or ethnicity?

The story posted above simply indicates to me that the liberals have won the bigger cultural war. Because apparently, "conservatives" have totally bought into their game.

More evidence of a double standard?

"...from the Democratic leadership in Congress to allegedly anti-Semitic remarks made by Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) compared to their outcry over racially insensitive remarks last year by then-Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.)."

Moran's comments are "allegedly anti-Semitic", but Lott's were "racially insensitive".

It seems that when it comes to Democrats that blatant anti Semitism is "alleged". But assigned interpretations of a Republican's comments make them "racially insensitive". They can't even write about a double standard without insinuating a double standard of their own!

Conservatives clean their own house, and hold people to standards. The Left does not.

I think people will be able to tell.

Nothing NEW here......always has been a BIAS.......if this had be TOM DELAY or any other Conservative......all hell would be breaking loose on the network news and the cable stations. Let's just MOVE ON......and start the LIBERATION of IRAQ!!
