"How do you claim moral high ground when you yourself don't have any?"

In the third hour of Thursday's show, Denver's Jay Marvin (AM 760) tore a new one in the hypocrites who are railing about the "Taser This" editorial in Colorado State University's newspaper The Rocky Mountain Collegian. The editorial, in it's entirety, said:
F*ck Bush.
This is the view of the Collegian editorial board.
The response, primarily from the self-righteous right has been considerably longer and louder. Jay wonders where is the outrage when the right "throw(s) out as much hateful and degrading talk as you can imagine. Where were these folks when Anne Coulter endorsed the assassination of John Edwards, or when Rush Limbaugh called Barrack Obama and Halle Berry halfricans? Are you sick of the hypocrisy?"

Right click on the link above and "save as", then start listening at 14:50 for the beginning of Jay's rant(or hell listen to the whole thing), including some choice clips from such rightwing heroes as Coulter, Michael Weiner (that silly Savage), and of course the vulgar pigboy. It starts a little slow and builds fast (apparently along with Jay's blood pressure).
"We had Pat Insentenio (spelling?) who's a conservative on the line who said 'Well you can criticize George Dubya Bush but you have to be respectful'. No Pat, read the First Amendment to the Constitution. And who decides what's respectful and what's not..... But let me get back to my point. How do you claim moral high ground when you yourself don't have any? I'm sorry, the GOP and these ultra rightwing conservative talking heads don't have any high ground in this area. And if the College Young Republicans...are gonna come out against this why aren't they gonna come out against anything else? Let me give you some examples". And he does give examples. It's worth a listen. Keep listening even after you think he's done - he keeps going. (By the way Jay, Republicans don't "come out" until they're forced to. They stay hidden in places like airport bathrooms and congressional-page dorm rooms.)
"And I challenge Dick Waddams or anybody else to come on this program and justify the stuff we've just played and tell me how THAT is okay but printing this in the Rocky Mountain Collegian is wrong. You come on here ya bunch of cowards. You're cowards and you're hypocrites and I'm sick of your crap." Don't forget about swift-boating John Kerry, or comparing Max Cleland to Saddam Hussein. Jay's right, we shouldn't be taking this crap.
