Perception

The Villiage Voice blathers about how the Democrats are running an honest campaign except that have to be on guard against the eeeevil Republicans.

If the New Dems, who appear to be running Kerry’s campaign, think they have transformed him into a Clinton centrist, they may not have taken into consideration the Republican Party’s probable sinewy strategy. The GOP might suddenly downplay its right-wing Christians and bring to center stage its own version of moderation: war heroes John McCain and Bob Dole, both of them tastefully reticent about their war experiences (certainly in comparison to Kerry); Rudy Giuliani, the hero of 9-11; and Arnold Schwarzenegger. And if he is a good boy, Colin Powell.

If he’s a good boy?
Can you imagine if a right wing magazine had called any person of color or minority a “good boy”?
The outrage would be unbelievable. There would be public calls for beheadings. At least castrations.
But no. Once again, because the liberal media sets the rules, they can feel free to ignore them at will.
