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.
They made hay with their smears.
They fool the gullible and-—maybe most importantly to them-—they get the lefty chumps to open their wallets and send the Dems gobs of money whenever they resort to those tactics.
I’d love to see what their fundraising looks like the last 7 days.
They use stupid comments to get brilliant results. I’ll argue that till hell freezes over. They know how to rouse the rabble and get the pubbies on the defensive every single time.
You speak with much wisdom kind sir...
Bullshit. They have created a backlash which will become increasingly evident as the months pass.

You have it exactly right.
They only have two plays in their playbook. When they are out of power, they fabricate non-existent problems so they have something to run on in upcoming elections (homelessness, unemployment may be low but its because everyone has McJobs, the economy is the worst since Herbert Hoover, etc.
When they are in power, they divert attention away from real problems, caused by THEIR policies, by claiming their opponents are special interest groups (Big Oil, Big Pharma, Wall Street CEOs, etc), homophobes, racists, partisans, capitalist pigs that want to pollute the air and water and take away grandma's social security and medicine, while at the same time forcing her to eat dog food.
” 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.”
That’s my reading of the political tea leaves, too. I was doing work on the lefty Yahoo site this past weekend when the shooting news broke. So I scooted over to the Yahoo message board to read. The left wingers were getting slaughtered with their blame Palin/Tea Party memes.
Conservatives and patriots were pouring out of hinterlands and challenging every left wing lie. My guess was 70% or better of the comments on the shooting were posted by conservatives correcting the left wing smears and lies. I stayed quite some time reading comments. The vast majortity of people correctly saw that the shooter was a disturbed and mentally ill person, not a tea party member.
I was quite amazed to see that much conservative action on a left wing site like Yahoo.
There’s most definetly a patriotic renaissance moving to the fore. It’s flying under the MSM radar right now. The left wing will never know what hit them when it surfaces.
Your analysis is spot on.
