Crying Hate, Suppressing Debate
The American Spectator ^ | April 19, 2010 | W. James Antle, III

Posted on 04/19/2010 3:47:20 AM PDT by Scanian

Furrowing his brow at the protesters rudely demonstrating their ingratitude to benevolent old Uncle Sam, Bill Clinton decided to take a trip down memory lane. While others indulge their 1990s nostalgia by watching Seinfeld reruns and listening to Hootie and the Blowfish CDs, Clinton prefers to repeat his favorite smears of anyone uncouth enough to criticize the government from the right.

Then as now, our leaders had to deal with a fearsome tide of antigovernment extremism. Today we have Michelle Bachmann, the Republican congresswoman from Minnesota. Back then, it was Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and a Democratic president who stood up and announced the end of the "era of big government."

Conservatives are really missing the boat by not publicly ridiculing liberals for what they are. Mind numb indoctrinated washed up hippies that never got anything they didn't steal, tax, or get handed to them by someone else that had a real job. It is about time they got called out for what they really are too!

“It’s about time they got called out for what they really are, too.”

Hopefully, very soon, with no place to hide.

IMHO

I agree, we need to break out, dust off and polish up all the old video that we have of these @ssholes. AND CONNECT THE DOTS! If the American public is not interested in putting forth the effort to read the stories - we’ll have to put it in pictures with dramatic music. Glossy videos - Jane Fonda in North VietNam, Jodie Evans in Code Pink Costumes, Jodie Evans WITH Jane Fonda to Jodie Evans WITH Barack Obama. Jane Fonda protesting WITH John Kerry, Jane Fonda’s Ex husband Tom Hayden WITH William Ayers, William Ayers with Barack Obama. You know, rapid fire with lots of guitar riffs. And do other slices of their communist pie too. Glenn Beck does a lot of these type connections but I’m not talking full length show - I’m talking 4 to 5 mins on youtube, 1 min on major networks. Time to take the gloves off and hit them as hard as we can as often as we can in an unrelenting barrage of truth. I mean make their lives such a living hell that they are afraid to take a crap because they don’t know if it’s going to be on the internet before they even have time to flush. No more playing nice.

Why pick - let’s get all of them.

Does anyone besides me think that Barack Obama got his friend/supporter Jodie Evans to heckle Sarah Palin during her speech at the Republican Convention?

If the RNC had a chairman those commercials would already be on the air.

Surely we have some generous private citizens with the skills and cash needed. Bypass the RNC if we need to for the hardest hitting ones.

Bill Clinton is a cynical political liar. He’s most to blame for cementing the Democrats’ reputation as the Party of Lying.

LOL!

I am beginning to hate ol Bubba’s oily drawl as much as that faux black preacher voice of obama’s

IMO, all this talk from the likes of Bill Clinton and the MSM linking the Tea Party movement with the likes of the KKK and those camo-nuts in Michigan are intended to INCITE violence FROM THE LEFT.

Bill Clinton knows that if violence breaks out at a Tea Party rally it will not matter to the Geraldo Riveras of the world who started it.

I can just see and hear it:
[camera pans over wounded senior citizens laying, bleeding and battered next to their crumpled walkers and broken canes]
Voice over: “We see here the result of intemperate and hateful rhetoric from the far right Tea Party movement.”

Sorry Bill,

The gig is up, i.e., we will not be intimidated or silenced by your attempts to smear us as fountains of hate that must to be squelched in order to prevent the next McVeigh. And we are on to the complicity of your MSM allies as well.

This new poll yesterday shows that 4 out of 5 Americans do not trust big government anymore. It is simple as that.

Sorry, all.

Something was wrong with my browser, in that when I intended to refresh the page, it kept re-sending my post.
