Why So Silent, Mr. President?

President Obama and his allies won the political battle on health care but lost the debate on substance. And instead of fighting on the merits and trying to convince the American people of their brilliance, the left wing is dealing from the bottom of the deck and playing their political trump card - by calling critics racist (with scant evidence). But for some reason, one man has been eerily silent - the President of the United States.

Nobody supports calling John Lewis the n-word. No credible leader is calling Barney Frank a f----t. All clear thinking Americans reject this kind of hatred. &Tea Party members don't need a lecture from a Democratic party whose he accepted an apology without even so much as a senior senator is a former member of the Ku Klux Klan. When Harry Reid referred to Obama as a "light skinned" black man who didn't speak with a "negro dialect"- he accepted an apology without even so much as a beer summit. In this case, there isn't clear cut evidence yet at half the country is being slandered. This must stop.

No credible leader is calling Barney Frank a f----t.

No but everyone from news anchor Anderson Cooper to members of Congress (and possibly Barack himself) are calling tea party protesters "teabaggers". And the media has reported what "teabagging" means so the card has been played, we are onto the lavender mafia's game.

[Kid Shelleen]

Intellectual discourse is above his pay grade.

He is only good at provoking and insulting honest Americans.

[Verginius Rufus]

Obama is on record calling the Tea Partiers “teabaggers” (not in a public address, but either in an interview or in a speech to a friendly group).

To Democrats. But the transcription wasn’t a quote and the writer acknowledges it could be a paraphrase. The word was out there in use by Democrats in its gay sense.

There is film from the McCarthy/Cohn hearings about Communist sympathizers in the State Department and US Military. One of McCarthy’s witnesses was taken to task by those who took outrage at McCarthy’s (rightful) suggestion that there was infilatration in our government by a seditous fifth column.

McCarthy and Cohn were being made to answer questions (the witchhunted became the hunters) as to whether this man was rewarded with undue vacation time etc (if I understood what I was watching). Discussion came to a photo of an officer with the soldier and another man. Roy Cohn had presented a blow up of the photo with just the officer and soldier looking at each other (to imply association with each other).

The Left claimed that McCarthy was engaging in Soviet style “photo forgery” and Roy Cohn (who was gay and died of AIDS) was asked where the photo came from. The hunters who were hounded McCarthy and Cohn then asked Cohn if a “fairy” gave it to him and eventually got around to asking him what he knew of “fairies”. They had a good laugh at him about it.

The homosexual slurs are nothing new to the Left.
