Newest Left Attack on GOP: Rallies are 'Inflammatory' and 'Violent'
publiusforum.com ^ | 10/10/08 | Warner Todd Huston

For the last few days various groups like MoveOn.org, and the folks at Huffington Post, DailyKos and DemocraticUnderground have been beating the drum of a new theme to attempt to undermine the McCain campaign among the media. The newest claim from the extreme left is that McCain's focus on the Obama/Ayers connection is responsible for fostering "threats" and "violence" to be ginned up among Republicans at McCain rallies. The left is pushing the idea that McCain is inciting riots and "hate" among GOP voters and they are pushing this theme in an email campaign to the main Old Media outlets.

On October 9, for instance, I got no less than 25 emails "alerting" me to a particular Huffington Post jeremiad that is amusing in its replication of the same behavior it pretends to condemn. In this childish bloviation the HuffPo writer uses as much name calling, guilt by association, and bald faced lies as he claims to be refuting from McCain. But, the germ of the argument is that McCain is inciting violence.

Senator McCain and his cowardly running mate have been accusing Senator Obama of associating with terrorists and consequently inciting violent partisans to blurt out death threats about the Democratic nominee.

So, the point the left is trying to push here is that McCain should not be allowed to raise the issues of the character of the sort of anti-Americans that Barack Obama has surrounded himself with throughout his life time. This is because, they argue, if McCain points out that Obama has surrounded himself with racists, unrepentant domestic terrorists, socialists, communists, and foreign dictators, why these facts are nothing but "racism", inciting to violence and illegitimate. Therefore, they want the media to stop covering it...

Well, they haven’t begun to see violence yet if Obami wins and starts taking away freedoms one by one.

It is all the radical, socialist, lying left can do. Liars and criminals. And they are the major cause of our MAJOR financial problems now -— the bad loans, all forced by the DEMORATS -— it was NOT Wall Street, it was not the Repubs....and we know who the main players are going all the way back to Clinton, et al.

They are doing everything they can to keep the spotlight off of their criminal, selfish, political negligence and malfeasance. They are the cause. And it can ALL be proven, it is a matter of fact. And now we stand here watching the very creeps that caused this problem, standing up and playing the role of “solution provider” and trying to portray themselves as the saviors of America’s economy.

Remember, that what is BAD for America, is GOOD for DemoRAT socialists.

Right.

Just wait until they see millions of committed and focused patriots marching on Washington, to ‘discuss’ our concerns over losing our freedoms, our country, and our money..... at the hands of the lib criminals.

We gave them power, we can take it away. We are near the breaking point.

Take down your flintlocks from above the mantel patriots, saddle up, and ride to the sound of the guns. This is just the predicate which the left is laying down to take away your free speech.

RUSH: “They are doing their best to impugn you and McCain-Palin supporters like they impugn the US military. They want you portrayed as a bunch of lunatic redneck hicks. Don’t make me go through this again because I’m going to get red faced and livid all over again. They ignore the people in their party that urged the assassination of Bush, via movie and via book, and they critically acclaim both, the movies and the books. These are the people that hang Bush in effigy at anti-war rallies. These are some of the meanest, most vile people in the country, the supporters of the Democrat Party and the Obama ticket. They are deranged, they are unhinged, and they are genuinely dangerous. The media will not talk about that at all. They praise them as being activists and getting involved. “These lunatics are the same people that run these websites, and they are sources for the Associated Press. Make no mistake about it, the enemy in this campaign is not just Obama and his cronies. The media is as well. If are there outbursts at the media at McCain-Palin rallies it’s because for 15 or 20 years, I traced this back to the budget battle of 1995, and the school lunch program, if you people remember, we were accused of wanting to starve children and our party didn’t say diddly-squat.

The budget battle in ‘95 and all these little school kids, you remember from New Orleans, were encouraged to write, “Don’t let me starve,” and they were going on TV, Democrats running television ads, “Don’t let me starve, Republicans want me to starve,” as though their parents would let them starve, and there was never a cut in the school lunch program to begin with. There was a reduction in the rate of growth. There was never a cut. That was shortly after the Republicans took over the House, and there was excitement and Republican voters had made that happen, and then all of a sudden just a year later, two years later, we get the budget battle, the government shutdown, the school lunch program, and Republicans sat on their hands and for 15 years Republicans have not defended themselves, therefore their supporters, against these attacks. Sarah Palin comes out of the woodwork like an angel bestowed from on high and reams these people a new one every time she opens her mouth, and our crowds are simply cheering. The media is, “Oh, I feel threatened, why, this is dangerous, why, they’re hurling insults at us.” This Mary Mitchell, Chicago Sun-Times, wants to censure Sarah Palin for turning the crowds against the media. You are jaundiced cowards in the media. Go call the UN peacekeeping force in there to protect you. Get the people in the blue helmets, as I said in the first hour, just guard the women and children because they tend to rape them when they’re keeping the peace in places like Africa.”

But it’s okay for Obama to tell his supporters to “Get in people’s faces.”

McCain and Palin have been telling the truth. If the dems can’t handle the truth they need to get out of the kitchen (or something like that!)

The people that have been yelling out “kill him” and “terrorist” and Republican rallys are without doubt Democrtic plants. This has been the plan all along.

Astroturf.

These leftist folks have their own reality, which they fabricate. McCain and Palin do not foment violence. They’re trying to energize their supporters, just as Obama is doing. These critics are like children in the schoolyard. When the game doesn’t go their way, they want to change the rules. Let candidates be candidates, and campaigns be campaigns, and not something subject to eternal criticism by whiners.

Democrats project.

Couple this with the reaction of Obama's chosen candidate in Kenya (Odinga) and his supporters when they lost.

Couple this with the viral "Obama Youth" videos and other anecdotal evidence.

Lock and load.

Cheers!
