It is sad that the hyper-partisanship of today has put public discourse in the cess pool where it now resides. Bill Maher has said outrageous things about Michelle Bachman. Keith Olberman regularly referred to Sarah Palin as an idiot, Glenn Beck has said outrageous things about Obama, Rush, Boortz, Hannity, Beck and at least a dozen extreme right gabbers say disgusting things about Obama on a daily basis. So what. All of these comments are about people in the public eye. The comments about them are downright nasty, but they are people who expect it by being where they are. They understand the reality of "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen". They are fair game even if unfairly targeted. But these jerks go over the top when they make such dastardly comments about a private citizen using her first amendment rights, people who are not public figures or the innocent friends or family of people in the public arena. These "entertainers", as Santorum describes Rush, may have every right to say the things they say, but having the constitutional right to do something doesn't make it ethically right to do it.

Great post copperline!
