Appearing on Fox News’ The Kelly File on Friday, discussed the controversy last week regarding Ted Nugents prior comments in which he referred to the President as a “subhuman mongrel.”
Goldberg suggessts that the reactions from all parts of the political spectrum to controversy is insincere posturing that is quickly abandoned in favor of one’s own party or ideology.
From RCP:
And I, for whatever it’s worth, will criticize the man running for Governor on the Republican ticket. The same thing with Barack Obama on the other side. That is why I say this fake moral outrage on either side, that is all it is, it’s fake. Nobody cares, they only care when you slime somebody on your team. They don’t care when you slime somebody on the other team.
And these conservatives who have these family values and are so concerned about civility and decency, let me tell you something else Ted Nugent once said, and feel free to bleep anything you want. He is on stage with two machine guns in his camouflage outfits a few years ago, and he said, ‘Obama, he is a piece of crap,’ but didn’t use the crap. Then he says, ‘I told him to suck on my machine gun,’ and then he says, ‘Hey, Hillary, you might want to ride one of these machine guns off into the sunset, you worthless bitch.’ And what happens in the conservative media? Oh, they welcome Ted. ‘Oh, ‘that’s Ted, he’s one of our guys.’ And then they talk about family values and decency? They’re a bunch of hypocrite too.
