Liberals Exploiting Death for Partisan Gain

Democratic Party 2011: Never let a bloody tragedy go to waste

Not one scintilla of evidence has yet been uncovered linking righwing rhetoric to the Arizona murders, but that hasn't stopped the rabid left from shamelessly exploiting death and tragedy for partisan political advantage. But the American people ain't buyin' it.  The Demagogic party is playing with fire, and they're going to get burned.

Of course, if fact and reason were their foundation, the Democratic party would have collapsed decades ago.

"They need to deftly pin this on the tea partiers," said the Democrat. "Just like the Clinton White House deftly pinned the Oklahoma City bombing on the militia and anti-government people." (Politico)

Leftwing America: A Nutball in every Pot, a Moonbat in every Belfry

The leftwing wackadoos won't let it go and never will, but these are the nutty nutballs that tune into red-faced ranter Ed Schultz and pompous gas bag Keith Olberman. Garbage in, garbage out. They call this killing spree "The Tea Party Massacre" and say stupid things like this:

"Sorry, Klanbaggers. You drew the crosshairs, and then you drew blood."

How pithy. People who take comfort in such low and shallow sentiments must really suffer poor self-esteem and a sense of uselessness, probably for good reason...

Even the sane ones can't give it up...
What I find more insidious and disheartening is what is going on in the saner corners of the left. Using their heads and being intellectually honest, there are good liberals who admit there is no connection between anyone on the right (or left for that matter) and the shooter. The nexus is just not there. The typical thinking liberal will concede that Palin and the tea parties are not to blame, then in the same breath go right back to subtly casting blame by condemning their rhetoric as "dangerous" and "irresponsible." I don't think most who do this are even conscious of the illogic of it. Here's a typical example:

I'm not sure which response has been worse: the 'Hey, we had nothing to do with it' hand washing of the right, or the irrational lynchmob attitude of the left (are they really comfortable blaming Palin for this, when there's not a shred of evidence that this guy was even slightly inspired by her?).

Even the more fair-minded liberals just can't let the right off the hook. They can't help wagging their fingers at us, attempting to hold us in some kind of suspended probation. They scold us even as they admit there is no evidence: "We know you weren't behind this, but we've got our eye on you!"

Lefties are Nostalgic for a more obedient America
Their purpose is to cast a dim light upon a conservatism that now attracts twice the voting populace that the tired, flaccid liberalism does. The left's only hope is to cast aspersions and stand us in ill-repute with our fellow citizens. They want to put us on notice, to hector and shame us, to stuff us back in a box we broke out of back in the 80's. Liberals sigh with nostalgia as they recall the day when an Eric Severeid or Walter Kronkite told America what to think. It's all so messy now, with all those noisy opinions flying around!

So they retreat to tired old talking points about handguns, civility, the fairness doctrine, speech codes... The only common denominator to these splintered and incoherent ramblings is a desire to snuff more liberties.

Shameless Exploitation is all the Left has left
Never letting a good tragedy go to waste, the left has hijacked this horrible incident to score cheap points. They follow up a senseless tragedy with a senseless spasm of stupidity and demagoguery. It is sickening and craven, and we need to press them on it. A full 57% of normal Americans disagree with the unhinged left, and reject the notion that rightwing tea party rhetoric had anything to do with this.

The left has lost, folks
They lost their sense of good governance years ago, they lost power last November, and now they are losing their minds. This is not a time for tea partiers to retreat or sit back and take it. Now is the time to press the attack on those deranged collectivist morons who so warp and twist the national debate. They've come unhinged, and they need to be held accountable for their irresponsible behavior. The truth is on our side, and so are the American people.

Here are some antidotes to the unhinged liberal rhetoric. Read them and use the information to throw it back in the faces of the hooting baboons on the left.  The true beauty of these links?  Half of them are from liberal publications, and they side with the conservatives.

The View from Crazy-Land

What a bucket of crabs The View is.  I don't know why anybody is watching it.

The latest theater of the absurd featured liberal women who are so open minded their brains have fallen out.  Muslims deny women basic rights, condone rape and kill homosexuals, but the shrieking harridans on The View are all for it because a vast majority of Americans are against it.

The left has been reduced to incoherent ranting and raving, incapable of making a coherent argument for any of their crack-brained ideas.

President Obama and his propagandists regularly berate us while continuing to blame anything and everything but themselves.  The democrats are now blaming voters for being too stupid to go along with their scams and ponzi schemes.



When I tuned into CSPAN and saw Ed Schultz at that pathetic 100 person union demonstration in DC a few weeks back, I thought it was a Hugo Chavez rally. 

Keith Olbermann continues to be a bad SNL parody of a self-important tv personality, and Rachel Madcow's impersonation of a serious anchorman is the biggest joke of all.  I love it when she puts on the very serious eyeglasses.

Your house is crumbling, lefties, because it's made of BS with a foundation of ignorance.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Visiting Pakistani Military Officers Mistaken for Terrorists
It’s not a joke. It really happened last week, and the Pakistanis left for home early in a huff over it.

My first thought was, well... How do you tell an ordinary Pakistani from the terrorist variety?

Seriously, incidents such as this should provide a wake up call to Middle Eastern and South Asian Muslims that something is seriously wrong with their culture.

Enviro-Leftist Kook Killed at the Discovery Channel
Another day, another violent, unhinged leftist driven to criminal insanity by overheated leftwing hatespeak. Al Gore and the Eurolefties should be taken to task for the killing and mayhem their irresponsible rhetoric has spawned.

Let's see... We had the liberal college professor who gunned down her colleagues after watching MSNBC; anti-capitalist Joe Stack crashed his plane into an IRS building, egged on no doubt by the writings of socialist economists Paul Krugman and Robert Reich. Going back a ways, enviro-lefist Ted Kaczinski sent bombs to people in the mail.

I won’t even go into the daily open sewer of vituperation that floods Left Blogistan. The hate spewers who inhabit that unhappy place take their inspiration from nutbag ranter Ed Schultz, who threatened to burn down MSNBC.

Mithridate Ombud at Newsbusters does the nation a public service by cataloging the liberal hate and violence that has infected the nation over the years. I highly recommend it.

The meltdown of the wackadoo left would be funny were it not so dangerous...

A Righteous Rant

Michael Berry of KTRH.COM goes on a righteous rant.  Not an incoherent fuddle-blubber Ed Schultz rant, but a coherent call to action.  Listen to the end.  It gets better as it goes...

Left Wing Hate and Anger

It's a collectivist fit of psychological projection:  The enraged, hateful left who sorts everyone by race and gender, is accusing conservatives of being hate-mongering racists.

Their rage has blinded them to reason.  Check this out from the Washington Post:

As several states with active "tea party" groups prepare to hold important primary elections this month, the movement is struggling to overcome accusations of racism that are tinting perceptions of this loose network of conservatives. 

These authors are not journalists; they are propagandists shaping the debate for the progressive cause.  

This is an old trick:  Level a baseless charge, then force the accused to prove a negative.  How do you prove you're not a racist?  Goebbels would be proud of such demagoguery. The burden falls upon those leveling the accusations, as anyone following the Obama "birther" issue should be well aware of.   

More correctly stated...

A delusional and noisy rabble of hopium smoking liberals are struggling to paint conservatives as racist.  Angrily they march on, undeterred by facts and reality. 

For an excellent example of hate on the left, Go Here and read what they want to do to Dick Cheney

Reason.tv sums it all up so excellently.  You'll love this montage of unhinged lefty nutbags shouting their BS into the echo chamber.  Fortunately, it is contained, like the human hazmat spill it is, on the basement-rated MSNBC.

No Apologies

Cinco de Mayo culture clashes are a sad result of letting angry, America-hating leftists indoctrinate our immigrants into a culture of nursed grievances and passive-aggressive agitprop. 

Instead of assimilating them into America's melting pot, fringe elements are recruiting them as foot soldiers of international progressivism, with the help of guilty multiculturist handmaidens who infest our public institutions.

High School students who were kicked off campus for wearing American flag apparel on Cinco de Mayo, have flatly refused to apologize.  Good for them.  

"I think they should apologize cause it is a Mexican Heritage Day," Annicia Nunez, a Live Oak High student, said. "We don't deserve to be get disrespected like that. We wouldn't do that on Fourth of July."

As for an apology, the boys and their families say, 'fat chance.' (NBC-Bay Area)

The "aggrieved" little self-entitlement girls and boys need to get over it.  (and their ignorance is stunning:  Of our constitutional rights, as well as their ignorance of what Cinco de Mayo really is)  Somebody needs to inform this little girl that this is America, not some third world hell-hole where people riot and kill one another over being "disrespected."

The American flag and other patriotic symbols are NEVER out of place anywhere in the United States of America.  Got it, little girly?  And we are damned tolerant of chintzy third-world trinkets and paraphernalia here as well, so get over it. 

The Political Correctness Guilt Trip Ain't Workin' Anymore
Tom Bevan at RCP says it way better than me, and puts this in broader context.  We are fed up with this PC crap!  Every time some "oppressed minority*" is "offended*" we are supposed to bow down in hushed, repentant silence .

The fact is, Americans are increasingly fed up with the racially divisive, politically correct insanity pulsating through the country today. After years of being pressured and browbeaten by the left-wing PC police about what they can say, do, think, and wear, many Americans have had enough. And they're especially furious with being asked to apologize for things that aren't or shouldn't be in the least bit offensive.

Call me racist, jingoistic, I don't care.  This is America, I am proud of my country, and if some are offended by American patriotism they can go to hell, or better yet, go back to the primitive toilet they crawled out of.

* - We have no oppressed minorities in this country.  The credentialed professions and the halls of power are sprinkled liberally with a rainbow of diversity, and rightly so.  No one race, creed, color or gender is superior to another, and we recognize that here in America, which is unique among the countries of the world.

* - There is no right to not be offended in America.  Just ask Christians who have had their holy symbols dunked in urine and sculpted in elephant dung, all to great applause from the liberal cognoscenti and the press.

Here's a good editorial on the subject

Social Justice and Immigration - A Thought Experiment

Cardinal Roger Mahony wrote in a blog post, "I can't imagine Arizonans now reverting to German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques."

The president of the Hispanic Federation said the law "reminded me of Nazi Germany."

Cooler heads merely compared it to apartheid or 1960s-era civil-rights abuses. (Rich Lowry - RCP)

Imagine we were spilling over not with Christian Latinos who fill the Cardinal's pews (and coffers), but intolerant atheists who were breaking his church windows and noisily shouting down all religious expression.

Imagine, instead of benign, hard-working Mexicans, we had angry Muslims throwing battery acid in the faces of girls wearing skimpy clothes, attacking gay couples for holding hands in public, firebombing night clubs and liquor store and demanding special treatment... 

If our immigrants were just a big, intolerant pain in the ass, instead of doing our laundry and cleaning up after us, would liberals still be defending their rights?

There are thousands of poor African immigrants suffering in Italy.  Why does the Vatican bar their entry into its confines?  Better yet, why doesn't it sell everything it has and give it to the poor?

There are literally billions of poor, starving souls upon this earth, why not bring them all here to the US?  What makes Mexico and Guatamala's poor more important than those from the continent of Africa?

How many liberal advocates have opened up their homes to the poor and the homeless, or is their conscience sufficiently assuaged by picking fellow citizens' pockets to throw some meager, state-sponsored alms at them?  Why won't good Methodist Churches all over this country throw open their doors to the huddled masses?  They enjoy sanctuary, after all.

Could it be that liberals love the outrage, the poop-throwing agitprop, stirring up the base?  Could it be they talk a good, sanctimonious game, but when it comes down to brass tacks, Conservatives are more generous than these supposed good-hearted liberals.

Where is the social justice for the poor and the working class who were born here?  Where is the social justice for the construction workers and restaurant staff displaced illegal immigrants who underbid them?  Why are immoral, un-American business owners not rotting in jail for the human rights violation they are perpetrating?

Misplaced compassion kills...  people and societies...

The Boy Who Cried Racist

A Dark Kristallnacht of the Soul


Tired of the left's over-the-top hyperventilating about the tea party being the Second Coming of Hitler?  Michael Moynihan puts this historically ignorant liberal lunacy in perspective in his excellent Reason Magazine article,  Red America White Power

Reichskristallnacht—often called the "Night of Broken Glass" [...]  "Apart from the 267 synagogues destroyed and the 7,500 businessees vandalized, some ninety one Jews had been killed all over Germany and hundreds more had committed suicide or died as a result of mistreatment in the camps."

Would you be surprised to learn that a similar spasm of violence was recently visited upon African-American politicians in Washington, D.C.? Well, credulous reader, The New York Times recently told us that the shock troops of the Tea Party movement engaged in a "small-scale mimicry of Kristallnacht" while protesting the passage of a treasury-busting health care bill.

This is about putting beyond the pale any criticism of the party in power

This is about lumping all opponents into one group and marginalizing them.  Discredit your opponents with personal attacks and you don't have to argue with them.  Frank Rich and his ilk are either too stupid or too lazy to prove the charge of racism, nazism or whatever the hell it is they are trying to prove.  They simply assert the conclusion to a sea of unthinking liberal heads nodding in unison.

We're not just wrong, my fellow conservatives, we are dangerous, in the tradition of hitler's nazis and the klansmen of the racist south.  Got that?  We are beyond polite consideration, so nothing we say matters, or is even worthy of listening to.  In fact, even giving us a platform or listening to us could be considered a dangerous contribution to hate in America.  And we bear watching...

Liberals used to say that dissent was patriotic.  Funny what a little hope and change can do to the high minded and the self-righteous.

Linguistic and Historical Butchery
Democrat, Liberals, Progressives and all fellow travelers:  You have now shouted "RACIST!" and "NAZI!"  so many times that the charge has lost its sting.  Of course, racists and nazis still prowl our world, but how do we sort them out now?  You've neutered the terms. 

Good job...

You've Got Hate Mail!

This just came in over the transom...  

This reader was upset by my reprinting the old e-mail "the difference between liberals and conservatives."  

Do I engage in hyperbole?  Yes!  Do I lampoon the left?  Yes!  They've earned it!  

I never realized that a group of people who paint hitler mustaches on Bush and who wish ill on right wing pundits could be so sensitive.

I print his e-mail in its entirety:  

So why is it that you can pretend to be reasonable and objective and talk about facts here yet your blog is a Dionysian orgy of dishonest liberal bashing and licentious stereotyping catering to the small minded, ill informed,hate filled trolls who will cheer any libel or calumny no matter how idiotic or preposterous?

Frankly it's disgusting and if Swash Zone blocks you, I for once wouldn't protest. I spent some time at your blog this morning and not only found nothing of merit, but done in every last sordid and gleeful detail all the things you attribute to "Liberals" alone.

You can giggle and wriggle, snarl and snicker at just how terrible it is that those "stupid liberals" would imagine any racism or bigotry on the part of the people you support, yet there you are, telling your coven how "liberals" hate your religion, want to ban it and support "foreign religions." Yes, liberals are Nazis and no, that's not hyperbolic nor is the picture of the "liberal" with the money bag and a gun to his head hypergolic. Oh no, you're not a rabble rouser - youre a responsible journalist who cares about the truth of what you're saying, who cares about the effects of fostering lies, promoting fear and hatred. You're a learned economist, social philosopher and a constructive objective critic and I of course am the festering, hatemonger and oh, so stupid liberal who wants to eat your grandmother, just like "Obummer."

Pray tell, what are foreign religions? Catholicism, Greek Orthodox, Buddhism, Judaism, Lutheranism, the Baptists? The only religions that originated here are the mormons and the scientologists,yet all these and more are as American as the constitution, protected by the constitution just as we are protected against them by that same constitution. Are you trying to identify "liberals" with bin Laden? Are you trying to tell your cheerleaders that by being a liberal, I'm somehow sucking off the government teat and taking all those millions from your doubtless deep pockets? Because if you are, you're lying and if you're wrong about me, then you're lying about liberals too.

Unfortunately nothing protects us from the rage of fools and hypocrites, the witch hunting of small and deranged minds and as of now- too much encourages them. There's a whole industry built on lying to the masses about who their enemies are and you know damned well it's the tool of tyrants and monsters and you invite comparison by participating in it. Don't feel too hurt, it's not Godwin's anything, it's your own words begging for that association.

You're not Tom Paine, old man, you're not even John Brown. It's not just the writing, it's the fact that the cause inspires people to ignoble violence, not to push back against conservative religious and political and social repression. Like Beck and Palin and Coulter and Rush you're an amateur entertainer riding on their coat tails and I'm deeply disappointed not to be able to find one self-described"conservative" who is any better or who doesn't deeply desire the end of liberty for everyone but a select group. Sad thing it is that I too can hear the echoes of breaking glass and spilled beer and the sound of authoritarian boot heels kicking down doors.

Western Hero - sure. Ypppie ki aye ay, motherfucker.
