Granted, the Republicans didn't spend the buildup to the 2008 election talking about how if the Democrats didn't accept the results of the election, it would be the end of democracy, and it would ruin our democracy, etc. So while still idiotic, at least not blatantly instantly hypocritical.
"They did it first, Mom!" Ah yes, that has always been a good excuse, even more so from the group that tries to claim moral/intellectual/educational superiority.
Establishment Democrats were a bit too comfortable and didn't expect what happened. Hell, most conservatives didn't expect what happened. There are no excuses for the behavior, I'm just pointing out that the right wing made their bed with their reaction to Obama, and now they have to lie in it.
