QotD: Double Standard Edition.

New Jovian Thunderbolt on what would have happened if the alleged White House shooter had ducked into a Tea Party rally rather than an Occupy Wall Street encampment:

Sarah Palin would still be in Gitmo.

Hot coffee in the sinuses hurts.

Bubblehead Les. said...: I find it interesting that the Hippies of the "OWS Movement" are trying to claim this Nut Job as one of their own. Sounds to me that they, with their usual lack of thought, think it's OKAY to Assassinate the Anointed One.

Wonder if a DHS Fusion Center has been set up to "Monitor" the "OWS Hippies" yet?; 9:15 AM, November 18, 2011

I wasn't alive in the 60s so I may be wrong, but I get the feeling that if LBJ had stopped the war - the vast majority of them would have considered that a victory and gone home. These OWS folks would go home if we did what, exactly?

Forgave their student loans and gave them a lot of money and Nuked Israel.

I'm sure that would get rid of most of them.; 10:17 AM, November 18, 2011

Sarah Palin would most certainly not be in Gitmo right now. That's accusing this administration of doing something that they haven't done, yet.

No, Palin would have been killed by a Predator drone.; 12:22 PM, November 18, 2011
Grayson said...: Sarah Palin incarcerated in Gitmo?

Say what?

Somehow I get the impression that locking up Ms. Palin in Gitmo would be just a bit like locking up an Alaskan wolf in a barn full of Afghani sheep.

And if Sarah P. ever managed to overpower an armed guard, the results would almost certainly look like the aftermath of a Predator drone attack... only with a much higher body count.; 5:27 PM, November 18, 2011

He earned his upcoming prison sentence.; 1:34 AM, November 19, 2011
