More Left Hate

From the Chicago Tribune: Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle on Tuesday said former President Ronald Reagan deserves “a special place in hell” for his role in the war on drugs, but later regretted what she called her “inflammatory” remark.
The comment from Preckwinkle, known more for a reserved, straight-ahead political style, came at a conference led by former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar, who’s now at the University of Illinois Institute of Government and Public Affairs.
Preckwinkle was defending the recent move by the city of Chicago to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana by allowing police to write tickets, saying out-of-whack drug laws unfairly lead to more minorities behind bars.
Downstate Republican state Rep. Chapin Rose of Mahomet questioned whether such an approach includes drug treatment for those who are ticketed. Preckwinkle said no, arguing that drug treatment should be part of the health care system, not criminal justice. She said Reagan deserves a “special place in hell” for his involvement in “making drug use political.”  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/clout/chi-preckwinkle-reagan-deserves-special-place-in-hell-for-war-on-drugs-20120821,0,7894335.story
While the Todd Akin quote about abortion was stupid and ignorant, the left keeps on saying the same kind vile, ignorant and hateful comments everyday with no penalty.  In addition, when the left is caught with it's pants down, this last time in Minnesota, there is a little wrist slapping and nothing else.
So, the right gets it's butt busted for one stupid comment while the left keeps keeps excusing their hateful and stupid behavior.
