When Liberals Stand for Principles, People Get Hurt

From Rush Limbaugh:

I want to expand on what essentially was a throwaway line right before the end of the hour because a lot of people are confused. I said liberals have their principles, and they stand for their principles above all else, and when they do, it is people who get hurt. It is not people that liberals stand for. And some of the e-mails that I have received, "Rush, liberals don't have principles." Oh, yes, they do. They have guiding principles. Doesn't mean they're right, but they have them, and they stick with them. If somebody in their movement sort of strays, like McCain, they kick 'em out. They don't call 'em mavericks and they don't say, "Oooh, this is another way to look at this, this is great, look at the diversity in our party." It's a great illustration, diversity, a great principle. What happens? There isn't any when it comes down to actual impact on people. They don't allow diversity in the Democrat Party. They don't allow diversity of speech. They don't allow diversity of appearance, yet they stand for it.
