We previously noted Brent Bozell's hypocrisy in bashing celebrities who issue political opinions while providing space for at least two celebrities on his NewsBusters blog.But there's sonmething else worth noting out of that same Newsmax article in which he engaged in celebrity-bashing.
After noting Ed Schultz's statement that Republicans "want to see you dead. They'd rather make money off your dead corpse," Bozell declared it "the most hideous of character assassination attacks, saying we want to kill people, and literally saying it. We want to see them dead." He added: "Just think what would happen if Rush Limbaugh went on the air and said that about a liberal. It would be the end of his career."
As it so happens, Limbaugh has made numerous such statements. And lst time we checked, his career has been going along just fine.
Bozell and the MRC have long served as an uncritical defender of Limbaugh.
