How the Left Fakes the Hate: A Primer
Townhall.com ^ | March 26, 2010 | Michelle Malkin

If you can't stand the heat, manufacture a hate-crime epidemic.

After years of covering racial hoaxes on college campuses and victim sob stories in the public arena, I've encountered countless opportunists who live by that demented mindset. At best, the fakers are desperately seeking 15 minutes of infamy. At worst, their aim is the criminalization of political dissent.

Upon decimating the deliberative process to hand President Obama a health care "reform" victory, unpopular Beltway Democrats and their media water-carriers now claim there's a Tea Party epidemic of racism, harassment and violence against them.

On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a tepid, obligatory statement against smearing all conservatives as national security threats. But her lieutenants had already emptied their tar buckets. Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman Chris Van Hollen accused Republican leaders of "stoking the flames." Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn accused the GOP of "aiding and abetting" what he called "terrorism."

Yet, the claims that Tea Party activists shouted "nigger" at black House Democrats remain uncorroborated. The coffin reportedly left outside Missouri Democratic Rep. Russ Carnahan's home was used in a prayer vigil by pro-life activists in St. Louis protesting the phony Demcare abortion-funding ban in Obama's deal-cutting executive order. Videotape of a supposed intentional spitting incident targeting Missouri Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver at the Capitol shows no such thing. Cleaver himself backed off the claim a few days later. He described his heckler to The Washington Post in more passive terms as "the man who allowed his saliva to hit my face." Slovenliness equals terrorism!

The Left is stirrin’ up stuff deliberately for the purpose of developing a crisis to take advantage of. They need a crisis to continue their rapid consumption of our rights, our freedoms, and gain total control before November.

Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver “the man who allowed his saliva to hit my face.”

The fact that Organizing for America is using this “violence” as a fundraising ploy is disturbing at the very least. What do they do if fundraising drops off, Kill someone?

When Pelosi and her minions waded through the Tea Party crowds around the Capitol, that was pure provocation. They’ve got subways running into that building, and there’s no reason for them to have to approach the building in the way they did.

If the Tea Partiers were a real threat to them they wouldn’t have stepped out there for anything.

But the fact is, those folks are decent, honest, concerned citizens, who don’t represent a violent threat to anybody. At least not yet. And the Democrats know it.

They intentionally set out to provoke a reaction so they could use and manipulate it through their media toadies.

The fact they had to invent stuff tells the honest observer everything they need to know about these craven socialist politicians and those who oppose them.

If you wondered where the hate for George Bush was going to manifest itself once he was out of office...now we know.

The problem is when Pelosi and Reid start stirring up this hate they just may end up by having one of their own hate filled idiots doing something stupid. Then what? Blame it on Bush.

Does anyone know if there’s a website the catalogs all the racial and anti-semetic hoaxes that have taken place on colleges or anywhere else?

They’re doing it to hold on to their own slipping base. Its the same thing as when Hugo Chavez blames America for his problems to keep the people focused elsewhere.

I never miss an opportunity to remind liberals that the democrats screwed them on this health care deal. After all, the republicans didn’t make me a forced customer of the insurance companies, the democrats did.

Don’t forget that they tried to burn down Sarah Palin’s church, with women and children inside.

That would be good to have/find. Also has anyone seen a parallel to a similar taactic being used against those in the civil right movement back in the sixties or fifties? Isn’t it about time to accuse the Democrats of being scare mongers or McCarthyites in their use of this time-worn tactic? Turn the tables. This is a reverse parallel to what was “be scared of the commie” or “be scared of the black man” used as a political tool.

They are desperately looking for their own little Reichstag fire. If they don't find one, they will make one themselves.

“I never miss an opportunity to remind liberals that the democrats screwed them on this health care deal.”

When the dust settles and they see what they got, the libs will not be happy. What they wanted was free health care paid for by conservatives. Instead, they are going to be compelled to give up a few lattes and pay for it themselves. Before you know it, they will be back at the trough demanding more.

Did anyone see the disgraceful Elizabeth Hasselback agreeing with Joy Behar that was “some in the GOP” have done is “despicable”? Totaly ignoring the frauds and misinformation. I’ve heard she is good friends with Sean Hannity. Can’t he educate this stupid bitch?

Allowing demons to foment this big lie without challenge is the worst sin. I’m seeing it go unchallenged on show after show.

This is a teaching moment for all those who oppose Obamacare. The Democrats want to label those people racist haters. They want to manipulate the opposition to use them politically. It shows how little the Democrats think of you.

There’s very little doubt that this whole conservatives= violent, racist haters was cooked up by some Obama people with the complicity of Big Media. They had to do something to combat the threat of the Tea Party movement to their plans for socializing the country. Nothing better than faking racist and violent attacks by conservatives on liberal pols. That is something libs are experts at.
