Reich wing hypocrisy on criticizing the dead.

Wasn't it just a couple of weeks or so ago that the movie Chappaquiddick was released, much to the hand-rubbing glee of reTHugs all over social media? Am I the only one who noticed the vicious, puerile titillation those same reTHugs displayed as they reveled in that hatchet job's biased recounting of that long-ago tragic accident? I don't seem to recall any of them displaying so much as a microscopic nose hair's worth of respect for the memory of the dead Senator or his family as they relentlessly slandered him with false accusations of murder and rape, do any of you?

Enter Professor Randa Jarrar, who, as some of you may know by now, posted some less than generous observations about Barbara Bush on Twitter My, how two weeks seemingly change everything. The microcephalic heads of reTHugs have been popping all day like balloons tied to a cactus all over social media and beyond about what they see as a series of unwarranted, lowbrow, mean-spirited swipes at the late former First Lady by Professor Jarrar. In many cases, the same people who were joyfully doing back flips and cartwheels on Senator Kennedy's grave two weeks ago are the same individuals expressing the loudest shrieks of righteous indignation today over Professor Jarrar's comments. Is the irony lost on them, or does the stench of their own rank hypocrisy actually smell like cologne to these people?

I'm not defending what Professor Jarrar wrote, mind you. However, I just wondering how many of those same reTHugs who are now screaming for her immediate dismissal from California State University at Fresno lost their livelihoods as a result of what they wrote about the late Senator Kennedy online? Anyone care to guess?
