There's lots of lefty Fred Phelps, but the media ignores them

Fred Phelps, pastor of the Westboro "God Hates Fags" Church is beyond the pale of all sides in the debate, yet the media constantly highlights him.  Why have they never highlighted the equivalent Marxist nut cases?  You know the answer.  The MSM are choking to death on their own lies.  More from Instapundit.

WHY DOESN’T THE PRESS IGNORE FRED PHELPS? From the comments, this answer: “The media plays up Phelps to smear the non-left by association. The media gives Phelps publicity because they find doing so to be politically useful. Period.”
