Liberals hypocritical

It was early September 2012 when former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney had just trounced President Obama in the first 2012 debate. During that debate, Obama had all but relegated terrorism to the dust bins of history. A few days later, four U.S. citizens, including the ambassador to Libya, were murdered in an organized attack.

U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice took to the airwaves that Sunday on multiple national venues and blamed the attacks on a video. Obama and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continued to repeat the same false story over the next few weeks.

Why? Obama was in a very weakened position and his re-election was at stake. The silence from national and local media, including all liberal pundits of The Spokesman-Review, was deafening. Just like it has been deafening for years as Hillary covered for her serial philanderer partner.

Fast forward to today’s supposed scandal and outrage over Mayor David Condon’s involvement in a pre-election human resource issue, which by all accounts includes a victim who did not want to file a formal charge. All of the sudden there is outrage on the part of the local left and even chants for a recall.

Liberal hypocrites of greater Spokane, get real.
