Pundit Vitriol is Only Newsworthy When it Comes From the Right

I'm a conservative... and I have absolutely no trouble recognizing when a public figure from my side of the political spectrum makes a derogatory comment that goes too far. Radio commentator, Rush Limbaugh recently made such a comment when he referred to Sandra Fluke as a "slut" and compared her to a prostitute on his radio program. Fluke is a law student at Georgetown University who testified before the U.S. Congress earlier in the week. Limbaugh's overall point in discussing her testimony was absolutely valid. He objected to the absurdity and audacity of Fluke believing that she has the right to have other people flipping the dime for her personal use of contraceptives (which she estimates at $3,000). Still, his language did indeed cross the line, and that's easy for me to accept.
