RE: "When the tables are turned, how often does a conservative come to the defense of a liberal subject to a witch hunt?"

I think Dole, who is Republican, is the type of person to call off witch hunts. He seems to have character.

But I have a serious question for the thread - how many times do you hear a Republican say, "I am sorry." Is it part of a bully belief system never to apologize, but to always blame the other guy?

On a related note, here's something funny - true story too - Fox Network had a program the other day, "Blame the liberals for the gasoline shortage."

No joke, it was a serious program. They actually meant it.

I didn't watch the program, but heard about it. They were blaming liberals for the gas shortage. Too funny.

But they didn't cover why people bought Hummers, or why there is a lack of an energy Hybrid policy, etc. It's a Bushism not to present certain data.

On a different note, I'm really hoping Bill Frist wins the Republican nomination for Presidency. This would give Democrats a great chance to finally win an election! Go Bill Frist!

Regards,
Amy J

Ted, Ted, Ted. How naive can you be? The right doesn't have witch hunts, they have "Crusades For Truth". Even if said crusade was based on misinformation, they could never admit it because it would mean that they made a mistake. And making a mistake smacks of situational ethics. Can't be rigid about things if it is possible you are wrong, ergo...

Same with the publications.

First, other liberal professors at the university are coming to the conservative's defense. When the tables are turned, how often does a conservative come to the defense of a liberal subject to a witch hunt?

Its relatively unusual for either sides which hunts to be strongly opposed by that side, but then I guess this is a particuarly silly which hunt.
