“Tax-Cutter Obama” Revisited: Daily Beast Blogger Sets a New Standard in Leftist Duplicity

The most amazing thing liberals have done is create the myth of a compliant right-wing media with Republicans badgering baffled reporters into attacking Democrats. It’s so mad, it’s brilliant. It’s one kind of lie to say the Holocaust occurred when the Swedes killed the Jews. But it’s another kind of lie entirely to say the Holocaust occurred when the Jews killed the Nazis.

Today we have a positively exquisite example of such a leftist lie. Pseudo-victimhood, boldly claiming the moral high ground, projecting one side’s sins onto the other side…this one’s got it all.

The author of today’s opus is Rick Perlstein, who took to the Daily Beast this weekend to bemoan the fact that Rush Limbaugh brazenly lied about Barack Obama's record on taxes, and that our poor tax-lowering president is too polite and civil to stand up for himself...

Bubba and bubbette always blamed the media too.

It’s so convenient.

Leftist duplicity; that’s when their master from the depths whispers in their ear.

Lovely article by Perlstein - delicious, actually.

What I see in Mr Perlstein’s remarks is not so much a devious attempt to deceive the public, but rather an amusingly heart-wrenching lament that the standard issue bait-and-switch rhetorical political claptrap, which the Left has employed with such success for so long, is no longer being swallowed by the public. It is telling indeed for him to admit in his own writing that “A LARGE PLURALITY OF DEMOCRATS” is now greetng 0bama’s ridiculous tax cut claim with the derision it so richly deserves. Left-wing political situation comedy has finally lost its appeal. The fed up audience is making its way to the exits before the end of the first act of the “Barry Soetero Revolutionary Insanity Revue”. And Perlstein is giving us a very tasty display of his consternation over the fact that the show is not going to make it to Broadway.
