Looks like it is just starting to dawn on some lefties that Obama is ushering in an era of oppression of free speech. So it seems for
Laura Varon Brown of the Detroit Free Press, at least.
It's getting so bad, according to Brown, that any criticism of Obama is treated as akin to treason... at least it is in the "circles" she runs in
Brown finds that even Obama's Special Olympics gaffe of a few months ago didn't elicit the sort of wild attacks that it would have if it should have been Bush in the same situation.
Can you imagine the uproar had Bush said that? He'd be banished from bowling alleys for eternity. His bowling average and IQ would have immediately been compared in Twitter messages demanding his resignation.
Anyone bringing up the insensitivity of the president's remark heard, "Come on, give the guy a chance. So he said one thing wrong. Anyone could have said something like that." End of discussion.
