Conservative commentators have been on a tear lately over how the challenge to Joe Lieberman in Connecticutt is an example of how the Democratic Party has "lost its soul" and is no longer hospitable to moderates and conservatives in its ranks, so imagine my surprise when suddenly Rush Limbaugh starts calling for the ouster of moderate Republican Lincoln Chaffee.  Man, I thought only crazy hate-filled leftist bloggers engaged in this type of litmus testing?

The "Big Tent" meme canard is just that and I'm guessing you can find plenty other examples of this type of hypocrisy.  Then again the question most Democrats and progressives should ask themselves is why would you seek advice from pundits and commentators that actively disdain, if not hate, progressives politics and the Democratic Party to begin with? 

New meme:  If a right-wing commentator offers you advice about being a Democrat, think twice because I guarantee they aren't your friend and they sure as hell aren't looking to help you out!
