And I'm troubled that an incident that happened in June was leaked in August.
Something smells funny.

If the Bill of Rights teaches us nothing else, it is to beware of the so-called "tyranny of the majority." It's easy to defend free expression you agree with or to love friends instead of enemies. What's much more difficult is to apply these rules universally -- to support expression that offends you or to love those it would be easy to hate.

Craig is undoubtedly a major hypocrite. And his hypocrisy has done a lot of damage, just as Karl Rove's support of homophobic legislation harmed the openly gay stepfather he loved.

These Republicans are clearly in a very bad place. It's far too easy to feel hate or contempt for them. I feel sympathy for those in such a deep state of denial that they could do so much damage to themselves and to people they love.
