It’s time to turn marches into political clout and prepare to push back against the inevitable conservative backlash that’s ahead.
s a nation ingests the tragic double slayings of two Brooklyn, N.Y., cops, there’s little shortage of hot-headed Republican pols in open search of fresh liberal bogeymen to blame. With a resurrected civil rights movement now in our midst, we should have seen this coming.
A perfect storm is brewing, a familiar, and mostly Republican, messaging playbook is in motion, as a political counterpunch from the right emerges. Movement organizers are now in a tipping point predicament, shamelessly painted by lawmakers and conservative bobbleheads as cop killers. Clearly, we’re at the junction of “Hands up” and a badly cut horror show in which full metal armored cops start treating protesters like gun-toting anarchists.
And we really don’t want to go there. But, a string of lopsided, loony tune reactions from lawmakers and commentators are holding our hands on the way. Here are four signs this mess could end badly:
Republican politicians of Christmas past and present are parachuting into talk shows and Twitter feeds. Sanity fading, former New York City mayor and failed GOP presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani just blamed President Barack Obama for “four months of propaganda that everybody should hate the police.” Rising from the political dead was former Gov. George Pataki (R-N.Y.) chiding Attorney General Eric Holder, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and the president for the “predictable outcome of divisive anti-cop rhetoric.” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) joined in, blasting Democrats for a “tone regarding cops that incites crazy people.” And always-spitting-acid-at-the-lip Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) implored the left to “stop the cop bashing [and] anti-police rhetoric.”

In the war between Good and Evil, Evil is winning.
The left cannot imagine that they are responsible for anything. that the problem, they constatnly blame someone else for their mistakes.
Look, who expected the left to take the responsibility that is obviously their's in the Brooklyn cop assassinations? They are incapable of telling the truth nor acknowledging reality in any event. All they intend to do is whip up hatred for political gain.
In doesnt matter what they spew - the general public - the normal people - know where the blame lies.
Massa Barack done warned us against them evil Republicans. Time to get our plantation defense troops out in the streets.
So chanted slogans like “What to de want? Dead cops! When do we want them? Now!” wasn’t “overheated” rhetoric in the left’s never-ending search for conservative “boogeymen”? Their “rhetoric” lead to death, and it was explicitly stated.
Only for a season. You and I won’t be here for the worst of it, I pray.
Yeah, what’s wrong with burning down America and looting all that’s left. Heck, for that matter, what’s wrong with popping a few cops to boot? What is wrong with these right-wing reactionaries anyway?
Freedom now! We have to defend ourselves against such fascist reactionaries!
Oops. Wrong forum. I guess I should post this at DUh.
The FORMULA is more and more clear all the time:
Offend like crazy, and then SCREAM to the rafters about BAAAAACKLASH.
This way you can be both perp AND ALSO wounded party.
Rinse, repeat.
“If you guys are to live up your much-vaunted values, you’ll prove it to us by fronting NO OPPOSITION TO US AT ALL...”
Very simple.
As much as these demonstrations are pro black power, they are equally anti capitalist. They need to look at their coconspirators. OWS is co opting them. Their anti white rhetoric has yet to attract more than a few of other minorities nor do I think they want too. Self hating whites are anxious to join but aren’t really wanted.
WHat Uncle Charlie doesn’t realize is that if we on the Right actually DID backlash on them, it would make Hiroshima look like a bunch of kids throwing rocks against a wall.
That’s hilarious.
People get killed in violent attacks and Libs always respond with mealy mouthed anguish calling it “Tragic”.
Like a meteorite inexplicably fell outta the sky on them.
Complete with phony sobbing and weepy eyed claims that “I grieve for them...”.
Oh BS. You caused their deaths by pouring gas on the fire and getting the slow witted all spun up. Then they do something stupid.
That’s not your fault? Couldn’t see it coming? Please. Only children get that excuse.
You have, in a single sentence laid it clear for all to see. They want no opposition to their agenda.
Well Done !!!
I should listen to complaints about overheated rhetoric from a cop killer?
Sadly, we will be here to suffer it though.
Interesting that they have 0 comments, but “52” watching.
I wonder who issues those talking points. 0bama? H0lder? Sharpt0n?
Just heard Juan Williams say pretty much the same thing, and Earlier JehMOO Greene used the same rhetoric too. And no doubt dozens of leftist ‘bobbleheads’ (to use Mr. Ellison’s terminology) have said the same thing too.
Thomas Sowell
“Let those who have laid a guilt trip on people in our times, for evils done by other people in past centuries, at least face their own responsibility for the evil consequences of their own notions and policies. If they won’t do it, then the rest of us need to stop listening gullibly to what they are saying.”
Result: Poisoning the word civil rights.
Result: No more "civil rights" laws passed by a cowering, cowardly, cowlike GOP, which pushes the Democrat (socialist) agenda.
