A Chicago GOP site is catching some flack for a post that contained a picture of a topless woman. The Fold Blog is all for pushing the limits and would love to see the GOP lighten up on its moral superiority, but blaming Democrats and/or liberals for the mad rush of national chatter about the post is laughable. When someone claims to belong to a party that pushes "moral values" like the GOP does and actually covered up the exposed areas of the Greek statue behind John Ashcroft, it's not the Democrats' fault just because they pointed out the hypocrisy on a Republican blog. There would not be anything to point out if the GOP didn't pride itself with a chastity belt.
Maybe the person in charge of the site also wishes the GOP would quit with its family values mantra. Or maybe the site operator just likes to stir the pot some. I have no clue about the site or the person operating it. I just happen to think it's all too common for Republicans to blame others for their very own party's behavior. That and in the follow up post the Chicago Republican calls infamous Chicago blogger Rich Miller a Democrat, which is also laughable. I know Rich Miller and his brother Devon. Rich is no Democrat. He just happens to occasionally disagree with Republicans and that's enough for the Chicago GOPer to label him a member of the enemy camp.
