For all you liberals out there, here is the man you should use as your role model:
…Why do I defend Palin in this case? I don’t agree with her political philosophy: She is an arch conservative. I am a liberal with sanity. I know that I am setting myself up for attack when I ask, why did Emile Zola defend Dreyfus? Palin is no Dreyfus and I am certainly no Zola. But all of us have an obligation, particularly those in politics and public office, to denounce, when we can, the perpetrators of horrendous libels and stand up for those falsely charged. We should denounce unfair, false and wicked charges not only when they are made against ourselves, our friends or our political party but against those with whom we disagree. If we are to truly change the poisonous political atmosphere that we all complain of, including those who create it, we should speak up for fairness when we can…
Ever since John McCain brought Sarah Palin out of obscurity in Alaska, the people on the left have relentlessly slandered her. Even the long-held position that the children of politicians are off limits has not been allowed for Sarah Palin. No stone has been left unturned, and no gutter un-visited in the left’s attempt to denigrate this women. Quite honestly, liberals should be individually and collectively ashamed of themselves for the way Sarah Palin has been treated. Except for Ed Koch – he’s shown himself to be a decent man.
And that is all which is really required of any of us. Give it a try, liberals…if Ed Koch can do it, any of you can.
