They made hay with their smears.
I;m curious, Where is the evidence for your claim? certainly not the polling which has shown only about 15% of the public believes political rhetoric had anything to do with the killing. So just what, aside from a knee jerk willingness to assume everything the Left does is some sort of a “no possibility of failure” scheme, causes you to believe they have somehow won something here.
My take is they are in full retreat over the way they handled this whole thing.
I learned from the Grayson campaign how the game is played.
Say some thing ugly like, “The Republican healthcare plan for the elderly consists of ‘Die quickly,’” then go count your cash recepits from contributors. He took in hundreds of thousands of $ everytime he did it. He lost, it’s true, but it wasn’t from lack of funds. And everybody needs funding to run-—it’s the first step.
You think Wall Street is going to dump money into the next Obama campaign? Or the Kiddie Corps over the web? Not like 2008. So the Dems have to try something else. Throwing red meat to their insane base brings in the bucks.
And they did get a small if statistically insignificant bump in the first polls after the Giffords shooting.
I can’t prove what any individual politician or the DNC took in since 1/8-—yet. Too soon. But I’m going to try to find out when the time comes.
And if big-mouth Dupnik is planning to run again next year (he’s been reelected 7 times), all those lefties in Little San Francisco in the Desert will take very good care of him financially. The base simply eats that crap right up!
So the lefties get their cookies off by talking trash, take in money, sell a few more of their trashy newspapers and mags to the Dhimmi base, and maybe con a few silly independents over to their side.
How good do you think the Republicans did last week? The House boys went on a 7 day hiatus (completely unnecessary)thus delaying the repeal vote, and will come back looking for new ways to establish “comity” with the Dhimmi devils.
GOP business as usual.
Let events prove me wrong! Please Lord!
