Conservative politicians would be hauled over glowing coals if their sister-in-law knew somebody who had once had a father who belonged to the KKK.

It's worth a Republican's career to even be seen in the same zip code as Bob Jones University. Look what Trent Lott got pilloried for.

What's hilarious about all this is that every political weapon Obama is being lambasted with was forged and honed to a razor edge by the Democrats themselves. Obama's fans are grousing about how the media is treating him, but he's already been cut far more slack than a Republican would have been under the same circumstances.

Hillary, whose incompetence has been dazzling so far, is finding out what happens to "moderate" Democrats when the leftist base discovers someone who's further to the left than she is.

So far the irony on a number of fronts has been thick enough to stop a neutrino. Conservatives aren't pissed. They're laughing their asses off.
