The point of this thread was not to slander Mr. Pawlenty. I didn't do it to Huckabee over Clemmons' release, and I won't do it now. The point of this thread was to see how many right-wingers would jump on the ship to defend T-Paw.. and the response was overwhelming.
Overwhelming because the article - the accusation - falls flat on its face to a ridiculous extent. What, exactly, did Pawlenty do that requires "defending"?
The day that liberals apologize for their abominable treatment of Ronald Reagan, Robert Bork, Dan Quayle, Clarence Thomas, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, John Ashcroft, Donald Rumsfeld, Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Michelle Bachmann, Paul Ryan and any other conservative who dares to challenge liberal shibboleths is the day they can start to be taken seriously when pointing fingers about character assassination and hypocritical allegations.
