@Cycloptichorn,
Quote:Gowdy was clearly biased against Hillary Clinton, yet saw fit to oversee an investigation against her for years. How come we don't see Lash calling for his head and claiming the whole investigation is 'tainted?'
Two things here. Lash's behavior is entirely consistent with a right wing voice presently pretending to be something quite different. Is there anyone at all who doesn't get that?
But on the more important aspect of Goudy, etc, I think we have to understand that the "investigation" strategy is, in the modern GOP's hands, a propaganda trick. Long before Ken Starr was appointed, the GOP had been running numerous "investigations" of the Clinton administration, most or all of which were without merit. But as propaganda, it worked for them, filling the media space with ideas they wanted to pump out there and all working, by suggestion, to cultivate doubt and anger.
When Obama won the first election, it was within one week that Limbaugh began to loudly warn his audience that now, with the WH and congress under Dem control, the Dems would launch countless fake investigations against the Bush administration. That never happened (though many wished a deep investigation of the Iraq war decision and other related decisions like torture). Limbaugh was projecting. It's what he would have done. It's what his party would have done.
Just be aware they aren't going to stop playing this game. It works for them even if it is one more thing they do that is breaking America.
