The Double Standard of the Left for All to See

Jake Tapper finally said it.  The ABC News reporter did what no other mainstream journalist has dared do; call the president on the carpet for the obvious double speak and double standard over on the left.

In a Whitehouse press conference Tapper got into a bit of a testy exchange with Mr. Roboto Whitehouse press secretary Jay Carney.  Tapper asked if the president’s plea for toning down the ugly rhetoric back when a congresswoman was shot in the head, was honest and sincere.  Carney said, “of course.”  Tapper then pointed to the recent angry and violent rhetoric coming out of labor boss Jimmy Hoffa while introducing the president at a speech in Detroit.

At this point the Carney dance begins and a clearly agitated and uncomfortable exchange  (on Carney’s part) ensues.

Watch and enjoy the squirmy worm.

The Democratic leadership and the progressive left arrogantly portrays the “do as I say not as I do” mentality.  This is just one painfully obvious example.
