The View from the Left

We find ourselves in the midst of the latest leftist media attempt to explain to us exactly who and what we conservatives are. You know the drill: racist, homophobic, bitter, gun-slinging, bible-clinging Neanderthals.

An effort to define its enemies happens every time the Democratic Party perceives itself to be in trouble.

You may recall that when America endorsed the Contract with America by giving Republicans the House majority in 1994, the late ABC anchorman Peter Jennings famously attributed it to a "temper tantrum" by the electorate. Similarly, when their rock star of a president, Bill Clinton, faced removal from office, his allies in the media dutifully regurgitated the daily talking points emanating from his infamous War Room. Their demonization of mild-mannered men like Ken Starr and Henry Hyde would have been laughable had it not been so scurrilously effective.

Only fools pay any attention to the extremist far left media.

And now Slick Willy Clinton is calling us “hatriots.”

Trying to turn the notion of patriotism into an obscenity.

Only fools pay any attention to the extremist far left media.

Well, unfortunately there is way too much "paying attention" going on out there!

Don't think for a nanosecond that this same tactic was used in the reporting of a neo-nazi anti immigration rally in LA yesterday. The attempt is to tie any one who feels our immigration laws should be enforced with neo-nazis is ludicrous on it's face but these rats and their ever compliant media are very persistent. There are many people out there who can't make the distinction and that is who the media are targeting.
