Kind, Compassionate Liberals

Geez, The View attracts some exceedingly stupid viewers. First they laugh and applaud at Rosie O'Donnell's Ching Chong" routine, then they applaud and whoop and holler over these remarks by the ever-insipid Joy Behar. This is Rush discussing the program:

We'll go to The View yesterday discussing Tim Johnson. Dari Alexander, one of the guest info babes on the program said, "The Democrats took over in November by 51-49 majority, and now if he has to resign it will make things 50-50 because the governor of that state's a Republican and in charge of putting an interim --"

BEHAR: Is there such a thing as man made stroke? In other words, did someone do this to him? (Laughter.)

HASSELBACK: Why does everything coming from the liberal perspective have to be conspiracy?

RUSH: They're applauding it!

BEHAR: I know what this party is capable of.

RUSH: The audience thought she was making a joke or maybe not. The audience of that -- this is a different planet, and it has been on that show for a long, long time. But she raises the possibility, in other words, did someone do this to him? Then Elisabeth Hasselbeck said, "Why does everything coming from the liberal perspective have to be conspiracy?" "I know what that party is capable of." Behar then got another question. "Well, the thing that's sad about this is, it takes a political angle when a guy is critically ill."

BEHAR: But there are millions and millions of people who depend upon this Congress, people in the world and people in this country. His illness is -- is sad, but it's not as important in the overall scheme.

Note especially the last comment. In other words, what happens to Tim Johnson is secondary to the overall goal of keeping the Democrats in power. While Republicans are wishing Mr. Johnson well and hoping he recovers, the Democrats are frothing at the mouth, worrying about their precious majority in the Senate. It's sickening, and I hope a lot of people are noticing it, especially the people who stayed home or voted Democrat to "teach the Republicans a lesson." We're getting a lesson, all right, and they ain't even in power yet.
