Erik Rush writes in his June 20 WorldNetDaily column:
One need not look too far to find an instance of some prominent liberal unleashing a mouthful of profane derision upon someone who has given them offense for one reason or another. These days, this sort of thing has been chiefly reserved for President Donald Trump and members of his family, although practically anyone who runs afoul of leftist orthodoxy is very much considered fair game.
Personally, I don’t have much of a problem with scathing criticism of one’s political opponents, particularly if they are decidedly odious or perennially mouthy individuals. I also find it gratifying that President Trump is the only chief executive in modern times who has the ability and the inclination to dish out in kind what he so often receives from his detractors.
That said, it doesn’t take a dedicated news junkie to make the determination that there has been a rapid deterioration of decorum within our political discourse in recent years.
Rush, however, doesn’t specifically cop to his role in that “rapid deterioration of decorum within our political discourse.”
You might recall that Rush infamously likened Barack Obama to a prison rapist, to name the nadir of his still-untreated Obama Derangement Syndrome. We mostly stopped paying attention to Rush a long time ago, as his fact-free ranting dragged on — something pretty much everyone has done, given his media outlets have effectively dwindled to WND.
Of course, Rush’s vile lack of decorum (and factual accuracy) is the reason nobody else but WND will publish him these days.
