Do you mean like this????Both in the segment with Cunningham and the segment with Malkin, Tamara used the tactic and defense that yes, it was said, but Holder or Bloomberg didn't intend it as it was said.
I wonder if we can find her on record anywhere defending a conservative who said something questionable or stupid that "Yes, it was said, but he/she didn't intend it as it was said?" Is there a liberal anywhere who has taken that position with a conservative who was being criticized for something?
Check in on the currently active Limbaugh thread before you answer that. :)
In my heart I don't think it was Rush's intent to call Sandra Fluke a slut. His intent was to call women who expect others to pay for them to have sex 'sluts'. And in the process it came out sounding like he had targeted Fluke. It doesn't excuse it because I don't think he should be calling anybody sluts. But when anybody on the left is criticized and then forgiven for saying far worse, fair play suggests those on the right should be afforded the same slack. Rush doesn't have a mean spirited bone in his body that I can see, but he definitely does have a flare for poor taste.
