The "Invisible" Double Standard

Invisible to liberals, that is. Here's a Facebook post that's been making the rounds among the liberal base:
    "May I offer this heartfelt prayer from a friend of mine... Dear Lord, In the past year you have taken away my favorite actor (Patrick Swayze), my favorite actress (Farah Fawcett), my favorite musician (Michael Jackson) and my favorite salesperson (Billy Mays). Just wanted to let you know my favorite TV and radio personalities are Bill O'Reilly, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, M Malkin and Sarah Palin. AMEN."

To date, I've heard no outcry from the media about violent left-wing Christian extremists praying for God to kill conservative leaders. Now this begs the question, what would the reaction be if the last six names in this post were changed to liberal Democrat leaders?

Oh, but this is just a joke, right? Sure, it's a joke when they do it. When we say things half as inflammatory we're tagged as "haters" and/or "racists" who are a dangerous threat to the very survival of the country.

It's oppression, clear and simple, and we should call it that every time we see it.
