Forgive the obscene photo of Politically Incorrect show host Bill Maher, but it serves as a stark visual testimonial to the Left's true nature. Every day, the Left shows us with their own actions that they are exactly what they accuse conservatives and tea partiers of being.
It is astonishing that they have the gall to accuse anyone of anything. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. But then we remember that the smear and the lie is all they have. As a post at Powerline relates, "It is liberals, not conservatives, who rely on ad hominem attacks, outrageous allegations and violent imagery." The accusations of racism and threats of violence put forth by Congressional Democrats since Saturday are straight out of the Alinsky playbook. They probably made the calls themselves.

Their houses are way more fragile than glass. However, I doubt they really believe what they're saying about the Tea Party groups. Rarely does the left actually believe the BS they put out. It's meant more to influence and sway the clueless among us.
Exactly. They believe themselves to be the ordained shapers of thought (and for a good chunk of the sheeple, they are). All it takes is a few feigned outrages and not-so-subtle innuendos to sway public opinion. At least that’s what they’re counting on.
No, Tea Party defamers it ain't violence to simply oppose the opposition party's agenda. It ain't violence to simply use the political lingo. Let me show you.
A little history of the 1920s
Frank Petroni found not guilty by Hammond, Indiana jury, after shooting immigrant alien Frank Petrich for yelling, "To hell with the United States." It took a jury just two minutes to acquit Petroni. [That's violence]
Another story -- more actual violence
Chicagoans Cheer Tar Who Shot Man
Sailor Wounds Pageant Spectator Disrespectful to Flag
Chicago, May 6 -- Disrespect for the American flag and a show of resentment toward the thousands [attending] may cost George Goddard his life. He was shot down by a sailor of the United States navy when he did not stand and remove his hat while the band was playing the “Star-Spangled Banner.” . . . . Goddard had a seat of vantage in the open amphitheater. When he failed to stand he was the most conspicuous figure among the throng. When he fell at the report of the “sailor’s” gun the crowd burst into cheers and hand-clapping. . . . [When] the first strains of the national anthem [began] Samuel Hagerman, sailor in the guard of honor, asked him to get up.
“What for?” demanded Goddard. [D'OH!]
Wow! talk about violence! Look at this.
What of socialists / communists in those days? America's opinion was something like "My motto for the Reds is S.O.S. -- ship or shoot."
