(52,589 posts)In general though, on an overall scale, there isn't a close comparison or equivalency between left and right in this regard. I do not think, say for instance, Ed Schultz and the right are close even though he said derogatory things about the hateful Laura Ingraham and realized he spoke inappropriately on a larger scale than was necessary. However, even though my family watches Bill's program because of the quality of guests and discussion, it is time for Bill to become aware of his problem. Awareness is the first step in correcting one's faults. He can't become aware intellectually unless people begin bringing it to his attention that it isn't funny to be so. Forms of hate and disrespect are never humorous. It's not the same as mocking another's hateful ignorance.
