I am still recovering. Tonight I was invited to a party at the home of some friends. Nice people there, for the most part. Lots of food, wine, beer. Former students of mine, now in college, were there. All very nice. A fun social gathering. A mildly liberal crowd with a few conservative Republicans sprinkled in. We were all avoiding talking politics, anyway. But then, rather late, just as I was preparing to leave, some guy across the room slandered Sarah Palin. I responded with a very mild, friendly, "I rather like Sarah." That's all I said. Suddenly I was the target of the most vitriolic tirade out of someone's mouth you have ever heard. The guy went on and on about how evil I was because I was a Republican, how they had ruined the planet, how I was a piece of S@#t, a lowly scum, a jerk, etc. and other such languge. He got bery personally insulting. I was in shock, saying very little, trying to weigh his ignorance, trying to remain civil in a public setting, someone else's home. A few "I'm sorry that you feel that way" as I hobbled my way on crutches (I was injured recently) into the next room to say my farewells to my hosts. But I was deeply offended. And yet, it was more like I was in shock, having been accosted by the devil, himself. It was like I needed an exorcist in the room. I half expected the man's head to start spinning around and hurling green vomit. In short. It was frightening. Truly. And it is hard to understand how some people can be so utterly full of hate and venim. Then it occurred to me: this is what we are up against. Pure, mindless hatred. Do I dare call it evil?
The libs need to be attacked in a direct fashion. Ann is the spear. She confronts the libs regarding their hate driven prejudicial stereotyping. There is nothing intellectually honest about the libs protestations.
Their hate-affair with GWB is illustrative. Even an incurably incompetent GWB would have stumbled by chance onto some correct actions. But the perverse hate spewing left can never acknowledge even the most modest of intelligent human traits to someone they have worked so hard at demonizing and de-humanizing.
It is truly a terrifying display of raw hatred that we are witnessing. It is not rational. It is at it’s root...pathological. It is precisely the kind of hatred that spawns murder and genocide. It is a hatred brewed up inside of a person intended to alleviate a deep inner ache. A dark inner wound. And once this hatred finds it’s target it will not yield to logic or reason. It will relentlessly pursue it’s target and revel in it’s merciless and brutal destruction.
Perhaps that’s the deep root of kinship the libs and Islamonazis share. Lets face it, there is some kind of chemistry there. It may not have been love at first sight but I can see those two groups enjoying one big night of unified bawdy celebration at the news of GWB’s demise.
GWB is the personification of everything hated in our post-modern world. He is a traditionalist. He is a man. He is a Christian. He is a Texan. He is a capitalist. And he is unapologetic.
Ultimately that is all that matters. He is guilty by design as are all of us who share any of those characteristics. GWB presents the perfect storm of personal qualities that makes him unworthy of not only the presidency, but life it’s self. He pushes the nuclear destruct buttons of the liberal mind simply by speaking, by breathing, by being. He and his kind cannot and will not be tolerated by the tolerance set.
It is only through his destruction that they can affirm their humanity.
So to argue or debate these people on this or that issue is to honor their motivations and respect their intentions far more than they deserve. They have no intention of entering into a partnership of equals resulting in shared values and compromise. We are the enemy and their very lives depend on our defeat. Not the defeat of Islamonazis. Not the defeat of poverty, crime, racism, intolerance and ignorance.
In the simplistic hate filled mind of the modern lib all the ills of the world will suddenly dissolve when men and women like GWB cease to exists or at the very least are exiled to the back of life’s bus. Placed as far from the controls as is necessary to insure we have no influence. And if we don’t learn and accept our place, force will be quick and severe.
So Ann is the spear. She is placing a dagger directly in the heart of the demon by speaking the truth. And the demon is gnashing and thrashing about while the pretty frail blonde girl unflinchingly stares into the bowels of Hell. Reminds me of that scene from the exorcist. All the demons hysterically screaming and threatening and wailing...cause they know they’ve been found out and they’ve met their match.

No, the deep South.
People and reactions like you’ve described go far beyond mere politics. I’m convinced these types of people have real issues that have very little to do with Democrat or Republican, but have everything to do with seeking a conduit for their hate and anger. They need and find a convenient scapegoat on which to spew their venom.
There really is no intellectual argument, objectivity or even sanity. It would be interesting to know what the hosts/homeowner/s thought about this episode and if they, or any one else for that matter, took any action against this asshat. My guess is they just looked away and took a sip of their Chardonnay.:)
I had to control my keyboard when today a former neighbor I've known for years sent me a link to a Palin Parrot video and another one. I watched the one, knowing it was going to be insulting, and it was. I felt really offended, like it's the last straw, he's sent me that crap before about male candidates, and I just ignored it.
I wrote a response and then decided not to send it, but what makes me the maddest is that he assume I would welcome that sh!t, probably has no clue I'm a Republican.
It's worse than that. I have a Catholic therapist who gets all gushy over Dem candidates. I cancelled my last appointment because I just couldn't deal with it. Otherwise she's nice. Where will I ever find a Republican therapist that will accept medicare?
That doesn't factor in my family, won't go there. It's not all about politics with them but partly.
I like the Flying Tiger image. :-)
"Pure, mindless hatred"
Either that, or have a list of jokes ready that he wouldn't understand.........
You were face to face with evil. Marxist evil.
I'm betting neither one wins by Wednesday morning, so we are in for a Democrat-driven replay of the 2000 court fight that will keep half of the lawyers in America employed until mid-January. Probably no rioting until the Supreme Court declares McCain the winner a few days before Bush leaves office.
Yes, I do have friends who are voting for Obama. It is difficult to know how to react to “friends” who want to raise my taxes and steal my liberty.
Evil usually wears a pretty face and tells you things you like to hear. Evil doesn’t get a lot of mileage out of angry confrontation. What you saw was maybe a tiny smidgen of evil mixed with a lot of alcohol and bad manners.
Real evil looks crisp and confident with an eloquent voice and a pleasant demeanor. Kind of like Obama.
Fascism.
T’was ever thus.
In which case you will need even more ammunition in the face of even greater, more violent, deadlier rioting.
Either way, get to Walmart and purchase every piece of ammo you can get your hands on.
The hosts were washing dishes in the kitchen. And “Bob” was not sufficiently civil for such a response. I was on crutches, so a quick getaway was not in the cards. I just said something like “I don’t need your personal insults” and hobbled into the kitchen to thank my hosts and say goodnight. And then I hobbled out, talking to a former student, their son, who was apologetic.
What you encountered sounds more like insanity than evil.
I don't want to be petty or a sore loser, but I hate it when they rub my nose in it. When my candidate won, I didn't do that. I think I've been on the internet and read such absolutely hateful filth directed at us, I realize what people are really like deep down.
And you know how the worst of it started? The agitators who got the losing side all angry and riled up, stole the election blah blah, showed Bush no respect, and it's been a constant barrage for 8 years now. That's part of what is causing it.
There's a school of thought which holds that insanity is the very nature of evil.
LOL, that stuff never happens to me!
The answer to irrational tirades like the one you were subjected to is raucous, unbridled laughter, followed by some throwaway zinger like, “Ha-haaa... Don’t tell me you’re voting for the Muslim? Ha-haaa...” Then walk away laughing and shaking your head.
...Just be sure somebody’s got your back.
I have done the same thing at work. They make a few stupid comments...then start foaming at the mouth and the next thing I hear is “AWCK !!! BUSH LIED, PEOPLE DIED!!!!...BLAH! GRRRS!”
I sit there quietly and let them rant, then when it gets quiet a big smile comes across my face and I say very slwly, “ I just love Bush! I just love Bush!” and walk out of the room.
Then I laugh all the way down the hall!!!
