Subject: To Sue or Not

But is there any decency at all in the White House?

To Sue or Not by Thomas Sowell

Quote -

Ultimately, this is not about Rush Limbaugh or anybody else who is smeared with impunity. It is about the whole climate in which issues are discussed.

Without a range of opposing opinions being available to the public, the basic concept of a self-governing democracy is a mockery. If views that some people don't like can be silenced or discredited by character assassination, the whole country loses.

The courts should not be the only line of defense. Common decency should be the first line of defense, so that people who smear others will pay a price in the outrage that their lies should provoke, even among decent people who do not agree with the target of their smears.

There certainly isn't any decently among the right wing cry babies who smear every time they open their pie holes, Rush being one of the standard bearers.

There are far to many people of that stripe on both sides, but they do not attempt to silence their opponents by physical threats. 
 
Of far greater concern are those who actively seek to attack and silence anyone who might disagree with their version of "The Truth", and the vast majority of those appear to be on the left.

You did not accuse right wing people or Rush of lying. Of course, lying about Rush in order to marginalize him is the issue here - therefore the decency issue.
Your omission is as good as agreement.
