As past readers of this blog have noted we have suggested that the Grand Old Party change its name to Grand Old Party of Hypocrites, or GOPHers. Anyone watching Republicans lately would have to agree with that characterizations.
While some may say not all conservatives are Republicans, the number can't be very large and one doubts that many vote for Democrats.
So what have the GOPHers done lately? First they criticize Prof. Henry Louis Gates Jr. for being disrespectful to the government representatives (police) in his own home (while being vastly outnumbered) yet complain about how the media is criticizing them for being disrespectful to government officials (members of congress) in a town hall situation.
Second at recent town hall situations several people brought along guns and semi-automatic machine guns as it was their constitutional right. Yet when anti-Bush protesters wore homemade T-shirts they were arrested.
In both cases causing public fear is okay because it is conservatives causing that fear. However people on the left standing up for their rights must be punished and outcast.
Anyone who is willing to look fairly at these examples can come to no other conclusion than than Republicans/conservatives are hypocrites, and therefor should change the name of their party to GOPHers.
