While this is in no way the same kind of thing re what Holder and/or Bloomberg said, you continue to accuse and blame Rush while I have never heard you take anybody on the left to task for saying anything. I didn't excuse in any way what Rush said, nor did he, but I was willing to give him benefit of the doubt as to his intent.
Will I give Holder and Bloomberg the same benefit of the doubt? Yes I will. I would have respected Bloomberg more if he had admitted that he misspoke, which he still hasn't done, but I don't see one stupid statement, that he subsequently took back, as all that incirminating. However, so far Holder has given me no reason to believe he did not perjure himself.
Compare Limbaugh's apology to this:
NEW YORK — New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has softened his comments suggesting cops go on strike for stricter gun control.
"I don't understand why the police officers across this country don't stand up collectively and say we're going to go on strike," Bloomberg originally told CNN's Piers Morgan Monday in the aftermath of the tragedy in Aurora, Colo.
A day later, he distanced himself from the statement, according to the Wall Street Journal.
"I didnÂ’t mean literally go on strike," he said at a Tuesday event about same-sex marriage and economics. "In fact, in New York, they canÂ’t go on strike. ThereÂ’s a law against it."
Bloomberg backtracks on police strike comments
Bloomberg sure sounded like he advocated the police going on strike, yes?
Will you condemn that as a really REALLY stupid statement?
