Note the weasel words and the tu quoque between lies ABOUT the Tea Party, and documented photos of the Unions dismissed as rumor.

The comments from the left are particularly instructive!

If I were in Wiscinson, I would be standing two inches from Taliban Mullah Scott Walker's face and spitting into it.

How you like them apples, Sparky?

The first thing both Hitler and Lenin did on seizing power was to destroy the trade unions.

The teahadist Brownshirt cadres have taken this lesson to heart.

Ein Volk! Ein Reich! Ein Beck!

So once a day or more every Jewish/zionist columnist

has to write a story about Hitler or the holocaust. It's just the case.

What happened to the rabbi's organization that wanted such not to be mentioned again. Except by themselves, apparently, asevery time Israel pulls some outrage, as yestrday with the Iranian ships, we get another bunch.

Something on one placard, in one demonstration in one state. And wowie, we have to get a whine.

This is the classic "forced into a corner" column. After all the tub thumping when the Congresswoman was shot about "cross-hairs" and such, and then the call for civility, the left organizes a riot, aided by the President. The Washington Post can't ignore the Hitler signs and cross hair signs anymore, so they write their classic "a pox on both your houses" column, making sure to criticize the Tea Partiers more than the people who were out there holding signs. Spend as much time in the column misdirecting people from the actions of the rioters as possible.

Basic strategy:

1. If the other side does it hammer them relentlessly.
2. If your side does it, ignore it.
3. If your side does it and you can't ignore it, claim equivalence and shake your head, calling for more civility on both sides.
4. As soon as you've covered for your side, return to 1.
