So this pantload Michael Calderone cherry picks comments from ONE conservative (Horowitz) and ONE squishy Republican operative (Frum) and writes a column about how “some” on the right have their panties in a twist over criticism of that scumbag, Dumbo? Pathetic.
But that’s the Politico for you....
Charles Blow had a similar piece in which he opined that lunatic right-wingers might actually become violent due to the rhetoric of Beck and others.

Politico pretends it is a middle-of-the-road, independent observer.
It isn’t.
“You never get very far in American politics with extreme talk,” Frum said.”
Seems that such talk was good enough to get 0bama in the Whitehouse
“...Let’s not duplicate the manias of the left...”
But, their “manias” got obamer elected. Makes me SICK.
Some people (especially eastern elitists) just can’t see around their slavish adherence to political correctness. If Obummer were white, they wouldn’t be walking on egg shells as they’re doing now. I can’t and won’t believe these people don’t grasp the reality that it is the intent of the Soros-controlled puppet show to destroy this country and to rebuild it into some horrific mockery of the former Republic. But it is their overiding fear of appearing even slightly racist, which will forever prevent them from joining this apocalyptic battle with the ardor that is desparately needed.
Is it extreme to speak the truth about a dictator?
Borrowing from conservative writer Charles Krauthammer — who in 2003 coined the term “Bush derangement syndrome” to describe some Bush haters — Horowitz dubbed the piece, “Obama Derangement Syndrome.”
“Conservatives, please,” Horowtiz said. “Let’s not duplicate the manias of the left as we figure out how to deal with Mr. Obama. He is not exactly the anti-Christ, although a disturbing number of people on the right are convinced he is.”

I don’t hate Obama personally, I just hate his modus operandi. I don’t trust people who use the amoral Saul Alinsky’s techniques as their lodestar. I hate that he’s expanding the power of the government that will take decades to unravel, if at all. The last president to so thoroughly violate the Tenth Amendment was FDR, and we’re suffering still under the burdens of the entitlements we inherited from him. In the end, those unfunded obligations will ensure that the ship goes down, while the bailouts will just hasten our demise.
I’ll be as hysterical as I want, Mr. Horowitz. If that’s OK with your moderateness.

And another: David Horowitz Is Right — And Also, Terribly Wrong

Obama ALREADY has in place the mechanisms for spying on all of our medical care, and CUTTING IT OFF. I wonder how many Republicans are going to get the plug pulled.
Obama is getting set to force all doctors, nurses, etc., to agree to do abortions—or get a job at Burger King.
Obama is, of course, promoting the killing of as many babies as possible.
So—if he’s not Fascist—what IS a Fascist.
People who can’t face the truth need to get out of politics. They are worse then useless. All they can accomplish is to help keep people asleep.

“...some members of the right-leaning commentariat openly doubt whether such heated rhetoric is helpful to the Republican Party or the conservative movement at large.”
I don’t care if it helps the Republican Party!
I’m trying to help my country!
Whatever “-ism” you want to label the Kenyan’s agenda it IT IS WRONG!
It is clearly, blatantly, in-your-face Un-American!
I am PROUDLY AMERICAN, PROUDLY ANTI-0BAMA!
If you “conservatives” and “republicans” want to kiss the a***s of your “party leaders” GO RIGHT AHEAD, SMOOCH AWAY!
I’ll be over here knocking heads and saving my family’s future, thank you very much.
Pansy-a***d republicans make me wanna puke!
Obama is a dedicated socialist and is rapidly setting in motion policies, laws, rules and precedents that will do great harm to our beloved nation. He is a fraud and was elected partly by the left demonizing Bush (with little opposition from Bush and the GOP) for eight years. Now, conservatives are supposed to 'play nice' and avoid harsh criticism? B.S.
Because Obama has charisma and is personally popular (his alleged charm is lost on me) the criticism should not be 'personal' but fact-based and easily understandable. If 'fascist' is an accurate description of Obama's policies, say so - and show why. This is what Glen Beck, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh have done, successfully. Why do you think the left is whining about them? That so-called 'conservatives' are coming out of the woodwork to criticize these folks - and anyone else who tells the truth about Obama - makes one wonder whose side are they are on.
That's what it has come to, now. Taking sides. Obama's radicalism leaves us no choice. We can't just wait him out for 4 or, God forbid, 8 years. If we can't stop him cold, the least we can do is warn our fellow Americans and hope they'll see Obama for what he is and throw out the Democrat majority in congress next year. This would allow congressional Republicans to block many of Obama's plans to socialize America into a second-rate nation as he attempts to 'spread the wealth' and basically destroy capitalism and usurp many of our freedoms.
Frankly, I believe the American people will begin to turn on the now-popular Obama and the congressional Democrats when the economy continues to falter and his moronic plans began to really hit home for the average American i.e. higher taxes and energy bills, etc. If achieving that means telling it like it is about Obama's policies, so be it. Just be prepared to back up the rhetoric with facts - and keep it simple.
Screw this. My pitchfork is already sharpened.
