Hypocrisy, Anyone?

National Review's Byron York muses about Rethuglican double standards:

Perhaps I'm focusing on an irrelevant issue, but the presence, or non-presence, of Johnston on the stage tonight strikes me as important. It's one thing for delegates to be understanding and compassionate about the fix these two teenagers have gotten themselves into. It's another to actually celebrate it. And, given what we've learned in the last few days, if Johnston is up on stage with his girlfriend and the Palin family, and Republicans are wildly cheering, it will certainly look like they are celebrating this situation.I don't usually engage in these scenarios, but I'll do it here. If the Obamas had a 17 year-old daughter who was unmarried and pregnant by a tough-talking black kid, my guess is if that they all appeared onstage at a Democratic convention and the delegates were cheering wildly, a number of conservatives might be discussing the issue of dysfunctional black families.
Now if only the GOP could give such a warm welcome to the likes of Cheney's gay daughter and her partner on stage. Nah gah haaaa, evvvvahhhh..
If the Obamas had a pregnant teenage daughter the reich-wing fucktards would be having a shrilly spooge-gasm. Pre-marital sex, lack of family values, poor judgment, lack of parental involvement, fucked up darkies, and as always, TERRORISM, and other issues would be thrown into Obama and Michelle’s face.
But THIS is different.......
Fucktards.
