It could just be me, but to anyone else does it seem as though far-left liberals are frozen in a state of perpetual immaturity? And doesn’t feel like it is second-nature for them to lash out at someone who happens to disagree with their specific point-of-view with cries of ‘racist’ or ‘sexist’ or whatever ‘-ist’ you care to think of simply because they have no logical, let alone an adequate, response to it? And what is their obsession with identifying conservatives/libertarians with the Nazis and the KKK? Granted, some public schools are pretty bad, but they have to be teaching them some history, right? For full details, be sure to read Jonash Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism. In the mean time, however, here’s a refresher course: Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian and banned smoking while the KKK and the mass majority of those who opposed segregation in the south were southern Democrats. This is not to suggest that liberals themselves are Nazis or former/current members of the KKK, which the exception of Senator Robert Byrd, of course. It is simply to say one should not always take what another person says at face value.
The first item on today’s list of topics happens to touch upon each one of those three exact points. Individuals who left the rather heated town hall meeting last Tuesday in Reston, Virginia with Representative Jim ‘I need to see some I.D.’ Moran and Howard ‘RGHHHH’ Dean were greeted at their cars with a flyer that depicted “opponents of socialized medicine and the Obama agenda” as nothing more then “Ku Klux Klan members who want to lynch Barack Obama.” A far-left Washington D.C. cartoonist named Mike Flugennock created the image. It seems as though someone is paying a little too much to Janeane ‘No Talent’ Garofalo and not enough to the actual facts.
Outside that very same event held at South Lakes High school, an opponent of Obamacare carrying a sign depicting President Obama as the ‘Joker’ was accosted by a black school security officer named Wesley Cheeks, Jr. The protestor was told he had to get rid of the sign and when he refused the officer threatened him saying he could “charge [him] with whatever I want to.” When the protestor points out pro-Obamacare drones holding signs and asking why he is not threatening them with trespassing charges, the officer makes up the lame excuse that his has a picture on it, as if that had anything to do with it. The protestor exclaims, “This use to be America” to which the officer snobbishly responds, “It ain’t no mo’, okay?” UN-BE-LIEVABLE!
Next we have some more race baiting, this time from Representative for the 33rd Congressional District of California Diane Watson. As Michelle Malkin points out, it is no secret that Rep. Watson is well accustomed to this sort of political practice. That said, however, what she said at a recent town hall event – undoubtedly packed with ACORN/SEIU thugs, like the one held by fellow California Representative Maxine Waters – was certainly pushing it.
Audio of Rep. Watson’s comments comes courtesy of KABC’s The John Phillips Show:
Did everyone get that? She said, “They are spreading fear and they are trying to see that the first president that looks likes me fails.” Did I hear that correctly, she said ‘the first president that looks like’ her? You mean someone who looks less like a woman then Tyler Perry when he’s in drag? Obviously I know she is referring to his race, but one wonders why in a forum packed with liberal drones and a past history of far more blunt racial comments than this she chose to beat around the bush rather then simply state it like everyone else interpreted it to mean.
Then, of course, there are her other comments. First off, Rush Limbaugh is a political pundit, not a leader of a political party or ideology. Secondly, once again the left is taking Limbaugh’s comments out of context. He never once said he hoped President Obama would fail. What he said was he hoped President Obama’s SOCIALIST POLICIES would fail. There is a huge difference between those two statements.
I love the part where she says, “Now, when a senator says that this will be his Waterloo, and we all know what happened at Waterloo …” Umm, if they all came from California public schools then I wouldn’t be so sure about that.
I’ll simply let her comments praising Fidel Castro, Che Guevera, and the Cuban Revolution speak for themselves.
