The Double Hypocrisy of the Rightwing: The Vitter's Victual
The Double Hypocrisy of the Rightwing: The Vitter’s Victual --The Rec Report --By Michael Rectenwald Monday, 16 Jul 2007 Now, let’s answer the question as to why we at the CLG are doing this [publishing the 'DC Madam' phone records].

While we want to underscore the contradictions between rightwing ‘family values’ and ‘sanctity of marriage’ platforms, and the behavior of officials espousing such views, we do so only because we want to destroy the remaining political efficacy of our enemy. And why would we want to destroy the remaining political efficacy of our enemy? Because we believe that the views, policies and politics of that enemy are demonstrably anathema to planetary human welfare and to the US Constitution. We are taking this tactic simply because it may serve a greater good. And, unlike our enemies, we are doing nothing illegal. [Click here for previous Rec Reports.]
