So Scooter Libby has been found guilty and sentenced to thirty months in prison. Leaves me wondering what he did wrong. Most libs talking about it bring up Valerie Plame being outed as a CIA agent. The problem is that Libby didn't leak her name. The guy who did (Richard Armitage) is still walking free having been charged with nothing.
Now let's compare this case to Alberto Gonzales, another guy who has broken no laws and done nothing wrong. The left is demanding Gonzales' head for the "firings" of eight US attourneys. Please note that a lot of these "firings" actually had their terms in office expire without being asked to renew their terms, but this doesn't matter to the left wing partisan hacks in our media and Congress who state that the evil here is someone daring to play politics in the arena of politics. These same big leftists give Valerie Plame's husband Joe Wilson a pass even though he's charged with lying and manipulating our government in his trip to Niger in his quest to find "yellow cake" uranium.
The lesson: politics are okay if you're a big lib.
Don't believe me? Let's contrast this with the case of Sandy Berger. He was found guilty of taking (that means he did it) classified documents from the Department of Justice. He admitted stuffing said documents down his pants to take them out of office (which is AGAINST THE LAW) so as to hide them from an investigation. He later destroyed the documents - again in violation of the law. I repeat, he was found guilty meaning he did it. His punishment for this? A ten thousand dollar fine and losing his law license (which he'll have back just in time to be reappointed to the post in '08 when Hillary takes office.)
Contrast that with liberal Democratic District Attourney Mike Nifong, the rogue prosecutor from North Carolina. He was ready to bring the full punishment of the law crashing down on three Lacrosse players at Duke University despite the fact that there was absolutely no evidence of their crime at all. But it was an election year in a district with a high black population - but I'm sure that politics had nothing to do with his wrongful persecution.
Contrast that case with the case of William "Cold Cash" Jefferson. This is the guy who the FBI caught red handed taking bribes. They got witnesses and video of Jefferson doing what they accuse him of. But you guessed it, libs are taking a defensive stance for this guy. The first thing they did was accuse the FBI of breaching the separation of powers clause of the Constitution because the Feds dared to get a warrant and search Jefferson's office. (A strange charge from a bunch of people who are demanding constant military updates from the Executive branch.) Now the argument is turning in to "the people of New Orleans will suffer if their Congressman is removed." Another strange defense for a guy who took military vehicles during the Katrina evacuation to pick up the bribe money he had stored in his freezer. Yes, while the people in his district were suffering he was hampering the rescue efforts just so Jefferson could hide the evidence of his wrongdoings.
Now look at the case of about an *estimated* 12 million (meaning that it is more likely about 20-30 million) illegal aliens living in our borders who liberal politicians are demanding amnesty for. The theory is that it's too tough to find these people so it's better that we just forgive them, as if everyone who breaks the law is easy to track down. Are we going to grant amnesty to tax evaders as well? These people are also hiding from law enforcement. Nope - you owe our government tax dollars and you'll be hunted like a dog to the ends of the earth. But a loyal liberal voting base is to be forgiven.
The point of all of this is that the law only applies to certain people. The left isn't even trying to hide hide their motivations for passing certain legislation anymore. Just look at "The Fairness Doctrine". They'll tell (with smiles on their faces) that it is aimed at conservative talk radio. All the liberal shows on television and liberal films from Hollywood are going to be ignored. So the real crime is daring to think outside the liberal box. Thus you can be guilty of crimes without ever breaking the law (like what happened to Scooter Libby and Alberto Gonzales.)
Libs will use double speak and twisted logic to explain why certain people get excessively hammered by law enforcement and why their guys always walk away free - but we all know the truth now don't we?
