One Difference Between the Hypocrite Left and the Right

Kudos to Jon Fleischman for his commentary today on Flashreport, Lou Sheldon: "Rent a Reverand". Jon's commentary is a must read; anyone who has worked in California's conservative movement can probably share a similar story - I was at the CRA endorsing convention mentioned by Jon, and the memory of the Sheldon endorsement is clear in my mind.

But, the purpose of my post is to point out the difference between the left and right on this issue. The left supports and promotes fakes like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton, people who use the title Reverand, mix it with politics and make a vault of money off of the propostion. The right, on the other hand, has little tolerance for such behavior - be it on the right or left (reference the Fleischman post linked above).

There are other examples that could be cited (think of Senator Boxer's stunning silence when President Clinton engaged in a textbook case of sexual harassment), but that will be the subject of future conversation - I am confident.
