Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold, where art thou?
Wisconsin's senators were among the few Democrats opting not to sign Harry Reid's letter to condemn Rush Limbaugh.
No Republican senators signed the letter. Not one.
Nine Democrats and one independent also chose not to put their names on Reid's smear.
Naturally, being the hacks that they are, I assumed that Kohl didn't sign because he was napping and Feingold was too busy blogging on Daily Kos to get to it.
I'm not sure why Kohl hasn't fallen in step with his fellow Democrats.
We do know that Feingold made a conscious decision not to sign.
From Politico's The Crypt:
UPDATE: Feingold weighs in with a statement.
“I did not sign the letter regarding Rush Limbaugh for the same reason I voted against the Cornyn and Boxer amendments regarding negative political advertisements. The Senate should not get in the habit of condemning political speech, even speech that is offensive. These issues sidetrack the Senate from the real issues, such as working to safely redeploy our troops from Iraq. Rush Limbaugh says a lot of things that I find deplorable and these recent comments are a perfect example.”
Feingold didn't sign, but he's participating in the smear campaign.
Maverick man Feingold doesn't have the courage to be honest about what front group Media Matters and Reid, plus presidential candidates Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, Patrick Leahy, and Barack Obama, as well as other Dems are doing to Limbaugh.
Noooooo. He agrees with them. He just doesn't want to sign the letter.
I find that deplorable.
Would someone please wake Kohl and get a statement from him on the Limbaugh ?

The Left is warming up to go after Anne Coulter.
Rush should be arrested! Free speech can’t be totally free…
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
smear ALL conservatives
after getting caught
for smearing a patriot
absurd thought -
God of the Universe thinks
the Right is always wrong
and the Left is always right
and facts don’t matter at all
.
uspace,
The Left has no interest in facts, nor the truth.
Rush Limbaugh is bad.
Liberals are good.
Rush Limbaugh speaks his mind and opinion.
Liberals cannot win that debate.
Media Matters, ET AL, make a CLAIM, distort the facts, the words, the truth.
ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, etc etc etc don't VET the story. They PILE ON.
Liberals achieve their goal.
Their goal. Slime Limbaugh. Stupid Americans buy ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN etc's version. That is all they know.
Liberals look down on their constituents, they USE THEM, they have only one goal. POWER/WINNING.
It's all rationalized as being for the cause. And they feel no shame.
Truth and honesty are for suckers.
Unlike alot of people, (especially Republicans) Mr. Feingold has not only read the constitution and studied it for years and years, he believes in it. His decision not to vote to condemn free speech was right and spot on (once yet again). That doesn't mean he doesn't have the right to speak out about it if he desires. It's amazing that people actually believe the talking heads about Media Matters being a smear machine. They are simply quoting exactly and showing video of exactly what these talking heads are saying. Only a closed minded fool would believe anything the talking heads say. Since when is an exact quote a smear or a vicious attack? The truth and reality is so hard for Republicans and their sycophants to handle.
