Carrying a pistol around the president? AYFKM? The guy was on private property hundreds of yards away from any route he took or the Portsmouth HS property. Gee, little hysterical today, kids?

They just get in your face with worthless, tyrannical programs day after day

And when people fight back, it’s there fault. They’re the “angry” “extremists”

How quickly they forget the raging left protests that were cheering killing our soldiers and burning effigies of Bush. Oh, I get it. It’s only bad when it’s conservatives even daring to speak up.

Poor “progressives” - every opponent they see looks to them “crazy”. Speaking of pre-existing condition...

Good thing our leaders weren't so cowardly in 1964, or we would never have passed a civil rights bill --

Yo. Rick. The Civil Rights Bill passed because of those cwazy Conservatives.

You can take your opinion and stuff it in a sorry sack along with your sorry libtard politicians.

Funny how a liberal pinhead at the WashPost, exercising his First Amendment rights, takes issue with conservatives exercising their right to petition the government for their grievances. First Amendment rights for him but not for us...

Dear Mr. Perlstein,

Leftists are quite right to be concerned about the rage of actual Americans. You on the left have spent nearly a century attacking the Constitution, robbing taxpayers, purchasing votes and loyalty, undermining personal responsibility and working to turn the social order of the world’s greatest nation on its head. Congratulations. Your attempt to decide when your detractors are to die has finally resulted in a TRUE rage, more than matching the phony anger and upset you on the left have feigned for so many decades. Just between you and me, you a quite RIGHT to be concerned. For arrogant, self-righteous, elitist thugs like you have finally stumbled upon the topic which has stirred that sleeping majority. For years I was under the impression that the left could only generate such an upheaval by overturning the 2nd amendment. The 2nd American revolution would surely begin on that day. But we may well be treated to a preview of coming attractions with your attempt to exercise total control over our health, lives and death. Thank you for the well-placed, well-timed nudge back to consciousness. We needed that! You will come to regret it.

So Nixon was a “Vulture”?

The Vulture who ended the Vietnam war?
The Vulture who formed the EPA?
The Vulture who passed the “Clean Air and Water Act?
The Vulture who opened a dialogue with China?

Time to get in WaPo’s face with Cindy Sheehan, Code Pink, ACORN, and all the rest of the manufactured outrage B.S. that the left spews whenever there is a Republican in the White House. Thank you WaPo, for exposing your Liberal rank hypocrisy for all to see. We’re not going to put up with the Liberal BS anymore, we’re organizing right back at you, Marxist agitators. Time for us to take back our country and re-educate our youth on what it is to be an American. Remember how good you felt when Ronald Reagan spoke of America as a “shining city on a hill” vs what we have now which is basically Jimmy Carter redux. Remember the truth America, and don’t be deluded by these Marxists!

How out of touch can these Post writers be? The first literature claiming the "civil rights movement" was hatched in the USSR was on the street in the 1940s ~ with some preliminary versions available in the 1930s.

You had all sides producing it with some actors in the US pushing the idea that progressives in America should be encouraged because the USSR was also behind it.

Having gone through the extensive collections of English language Kerensky related literature at Indiana University (years ago) I would not be surprised to find something like this to have shown up in the early 1920s.

NOTE ~ although the Kerensky papers are located at Stanford a number of universities around the country have nearly complete copies.

Fur Shur the Washington Post has abandoned "fact checking" entirely during the Obama Depression.

"How quickly they forget the raging left protests that were cheering killing our soldiers and burning effigies of Bush. Oh, I get it. It’s only bad when it’s conservatives even daring to speak up."

It's largely the same people who were cheering for the Viet Cong in the sixties in their youth who control the virtual monopoly on the media and the schools today.

Like "tolerance", protesting is only a good thing when they use it to make inroads.

Once they're in control, they demand complete compliance.

Sounds very similar to Islam, doesn't it?

"So, crazier then, or crazier now?"

Liberals are a crazy as they've ever been.

They're just far more menacing when they have power to go with their self-righteous insanity.
