ABQjournal Opinion: Letters to the Editor

Liberals Change Rules

DEMONSTRATORS are kept 170 yards from President Bush and the ACLU, a Journal editorial and others protest concerning freedom of speech.

If memory serves me correctly, back in the 1990s, Bill Clinton came to town. Demonstrators were not even allowed on the same streets that Clinton would travel. There was no outcry from ACLU, the Journal or other liberal cry babies.

Why? Perhaps it was because Clinton is a liberal and they have different rules. Liberal, thy name is hypocrite. The name of the morning newspaper is most appropriately the “Albuquerque Hypocrite.”

Does Bernd vaguely recall whether all demonstrators were treated equally? Does he have a copy of a Clinton manual on protecting the ego of the prez?

Vague recollections do not counter photos of the “good” demonstrators practically in Duhbya’s lap while the “bad” demonstrators are out of sight. (At least they aren’t in pens, anymore.)

Remember: Clinton and Raygun are the pairing, whether talking to conservatives or liberals. Fans of each swoon while enemies seethe. The incomparable Duhbya is in an unprecedented class by himself. (Thank Gawd!) mjh
