This time it is Rachel MadCow.

RACHEL MADDOW: "It is one thing to say, ‘I hope that this guy's proposed policies don't pass. I hope those don't become the policies of our country.’ But once they become the policies of the country, and they are designed to save us from this economic collapse, you ought to hope they succeed, unless you are hoping for your country to suffer worse in an economic collapse. I mean, actually rooting for the failure of your own federal government is pretty creepy."

Oddly enough, this was not her view when the president was George W. Bush. She actively rooted for him to fail – especially in Iraq. Now she wants to deny others the very right she claimed for herself not too long ago – the right to be viewed as more patriotic because of one’s opposition to the policies and personnel of the president.

Oh, and on a related note, God bless Ari Fleischer for this zinger.

Are you going after Democrat members of Congress for why they aren't distancing themselves from Keith Olbermann?

That would never happen – such a denunciation would kill any Democrat’s chances among the crucial “tin-foil hat” constituency of the Democrat Party.

But we’ve seen that before – one local Democrat Party official and liberal blogger publicly wished for the execution of our nation’s elected leaders, urged the lynching of Ari Fleischer AND received a long suspension from his NASA job over his violations of the Hatch Act, but is still embraced by his fellow Democrat leaders and local elected officials. I guess the standard is different when you are a liberal – after all, you are presumptively such a good person that illegal activity and calling for the murder of your political opponents is simply seen as exuberance rather than anything to be condemned.
