For a group that fears ‘Witch hunts’, they go to extremes that would make the town fathers of old Salem blush. During the last election cycle, they even had Christine O’Donnell explain that she wasn’t a witch, rather than pressing her agenda.
They can only divert attention from rising prices for a short time. All they have succeeded in doing is delaying, once again, doing something constructive about it.
Here is where we are going to find out if the Stupid Party wants to remain the Stupid Party because no matter how many diversion games the RATS and their media allies play, none of these things is hidden from the public. Every time we go to the supermarket or the gas station, we get slammed in the face with the objects of their diversions. I don't need a media story to tell me that gas is over $3.25 a gallon or that my food dollar is bringing home fewer bags.
What I do need is for the guys who are supposed to be on my side of the aisle to be forceful in pointing out the mess created by the RATS and their media allies instead of hiding under their desks and allowing themselves to be blamed for everything now that they control just one house of Congress. Just walk out there and connect the dots of increased regulation and higher gas prices, increased regulation and higher food prices, and so on and so forth.
And for the record, the RINOs have been on the defensive over the past week; conservatives have been on the offensive taking the fight to the RATS and their media allies. Rush, Levin, Beck, and Sarah Palin haven't been saying, "Oh wait, please let me explain what I meant by that," but instead have been saying, "You're not pinning that crap on us, but we're pinning that and a whole lot more on you. And we're not going to stop no matter how many times and way you try to do it."
Bullshit. They have created a backlash which will become increasingly evident as the months pass, and will result in a landslide repudiation of their ilk in 2012.
Why the writer of this piece would embrace such a thesis is beyond me, as it is not supported by the facts. For example, it is effectively rebutted by some recent polls, such as the Quinnipiac (sp?) poll cited recently on this site.
I can't believe that people buy into the nonsense that the Left is helping itself here, or hurting conservatives. All the Left is doing is exposing their weakness and desperation, while energizing conservatives to a degree beyond even that seen in the 2010 elections.
Mark my words. I, for one, will crawl across broken glass on my belly to see that these slanderous propagandists are rejected forcefully.
Conservatives' enhanced ascendancy to power in 2012 will be the silver lining which results from the Left's calumny in recent days, and in the coming months.
Only one solution...All the post-election euphoria was for nothing...The marxists are in full control and, as usual, the GOP is in full retreat...Only one solution...”Radiation” and “chemo” are a failure. Radical surgery is required.
Yes the succeed very well.
Expect more, much more.
2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
This article is nonsense. The Left has lost this one hands down. They have not succeeded in convinncing anyone but the 20% on the rabid moon bat fringe that the killings were the result of to much Conservatism on the airwaves.
I agree with the writer, in that it appears the left has hijacked our nation’s attention for now, by making this “civility” thing the topic of the day and taking our minds off of health care, the economy, the vicious rhetoric from the left, etc.
HOWEVER, Bill O’Reilly is taking a much different stance. The first half of his program last night was devoted to how the left have humiliated themselves this week with their over the top rhetoric, premature accusations against the right, etc.
I don’t know if he’s correct in his assumptions, but I like the way he totally turned the tables on the left and the rest of the media. Millions watch him, including independents and some on the left, and it’s good that he’s pushing the fact that the left “failed”, true or not.
And he’s even going after Sheriff Dumpkin, asking why, if Dumpnik KNEW that the rhetoric was charged, there was no police presence at Ms. Gifford’s rally. Good question!
If he repeats this narrative enough (and I think he will), maybe it will come true!
A temporary diversion that further diminishes their credibility.
Ultimately the markets and economic forces win out. No amount of RAT agitation and propaganda can prevent it. We are facing a calamity of historic proportions: insurmountable debt, loss of competitiveness, choking off energy sources, stifling government regulation, taxing corporations into oblivion, out of control government expansion, corruption of monumental scale, crony capitalism, bankers controlling government policy, and a political elite that envisions control over every aspect of our lives as its only goal.
No amount of obfuscation can prevent the economic repercussions of our stupidity.
The DEATH OF AMERICA is now on the horizon. China, Russia, and middle east states are already planning our demise. Will we let RATS and RINOS do this to us?
Diverting attention to what lying scum socialists, communists and other lefties are hardly seems to be the results they'd want to achieve.
“While this circus has been on the front pages, the need for this diversion becomes self-evident. The news and future prospects for the country and the world economy continue to worsen.”
. . . and the news media ignored it all. It seems we are back in a similar time when the news was transmitted by the grape vine or drum beats or word-of-mouth. Thank God for talk radio and the internet!
I was thinking EXACTLY the same. They TOTALLY took the Republicans out of their game and put them on the defensive...and the Republicans did not do a single thing wrong.
If I were Rush, and Hantity, and Beck, I would get rid of the bumper music and simply play of short clip of Democrat hate speech at the beginning of every segment - then state who said it, when, where, and to whom...and then talk about football picks or whatever.
What we have learned again is that Republicans are Cowards,Losers,feckless wimps.Are you not happy that they are who you are placing your hopes for a Brighter future?
You can fool some of the people some of the time..
