HYPOCRISY at it's FINEST!

Hypocrisy Alert!

During the presidential campaign, candidate Obama spent millions of dollars running ads that accused John McCain of wanting to tax health benefits. That message, combined with Obama’s promise to “cut taxes on 95% of American workers,” left many with the impression that McCain would raise taxes, while Obama would cut them. Well, you can imagine my shock and surprise when I opened today’s Washington Post and saw this headline: “Workers’ Health Benefits Eyed for Taxation.”

Guess who is leading the charge -- Democrat Senator Max Baucus of Montana, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and the White House says that it is open to the idea if that is what it takes to get Obama’s budget passed. Even More Liberal Hypocrisy As we reported last week, liberal political operative James Carville hatched the leftwing plot to smear Rush Limbaugh over his statement “I hope he fails,” referring to President Obama’s policies.

Kudos to Fox News for its investigative journalism. Bill Sammon of Fox News reports that on the morning of 9/11 James Carville was pontificating on the 2000 election and the administration of President George W. Bush and said, “I certainly hope he doesn’t succeed.” In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Carville’s comments were ignored and eventually forgotten. But now Carville is smearing Rush Limbaugh for essentially saying the exact same thing he said about George W. Bush.
