Suddenly the Democrats are coming out against their classic moves like cavorting with Russians to hack American elections and perjury (like you need a link), so who knows which of their foundational principles they will pull a 180 on and betray next: Climate scams? Free money for deadbeats? Jane Fonda?
But they don’t really mean it – hell, without perjury they could never testify to anything. If you want to know what the liberals are up to, just listen to the lies they are telling about conservatives. They used to be able to get away with it too, but thanks to the interwebs Al Gore invented between buffet deep dives and sweaty masseuse gropes, the political playing field for liberal liars is now covered in rakes.
Lying is what they do because that’s all they have left on the left. They have no foundational principles except power. Their entire ideology is transactional – it’s not based on ideas but on payoffs to Democrat sub-sets. Here’s some dough for the baby crunching industry! We’ll hassle some Christian bakers for the SJWs! Let’s put a bunch of cis-het males of pallor who don’t even listen to NPR out of work in West Tennetucky, or wherever they grow coal, to delight our global warming cultist pals!

But today the Democrats hold no levers of power, and they can’t dispense goodies anymore. All they can do now is howl, whine, and lie, and try to mobilize the parasites burrowed into the federal bureaucracy to undercut the will of normal Americans. They do this by falsely accusing us and those who represent us of doing exactly what they are doing and what they intend to do once Trump is ousted. Their goal is to seize power again and permanently disenfranchise us – and they are happy to take the risk of literally ripping the country apart.
The media is, of course, a willing and eager accomplice in this coordinated campaign of deception and slander. Notice how no one in the mainstream media pointed out how the Sessions perjury lie conveniently appeared simultaneously across the entire media just when the Democrats desperately needed to shift the narrative from their utter humiliation by Trump’s terrific joint address? The media hacks never mentioned it because they were part of it, the beat-boy skeletons to the David S. Pumpkins of progressivism. The left and its media’s problem, however, is that the new information reality means that they can start a controversy, but they can’t control it.
Here’s the utterly predictable pattern. Spazzy Dems freak out about some imagined atrocity by a conservative then, within a few hours, it becomes clear that the alleged offender did nothing wrong while conservatives scour the web and start showing how Democrat hacks are on record doing exactly the same thing times a zillion. That’s the key – the media can no longer guide the lie to destroy the target. The internet lets us have a say – and to grab the wheel.
Oh no, Jeff Sessions talked to a Russian then didn’t bring it up when not asked about it! Oh, we Democrats would never do that … except, thanks to us conservatives (and a President who’s willing to punch back twice as hard), here come the photos of Schumer and Ivan sharing a cup of Joe Stalin and here’s Pelosi’s partying with some Russkies after denying it and then the State Department turns out to have arranged it and FOR THE LOVE OF GAIA SOMEBODY SHUT DOWN THAT INTERNET MACHINE BECAUSE IT NEVER FORGETS!
Frankly, I don’t think Sessions should have dignified their nonsense by recusing himself. I think he should have strolled out before the cameras and said, “Hey Chuckie, I got a big, fat recusal for ya right here!”
We all kind of knew how the “Trump inspires anti-Semitic threats” meme was going to end up. Swedenpalloza was just a couple fake controversies ago and we all know how that went. Trump observes “Look at Sweden’s immigrant problem,” then the liberal media comes back with “Lies! Sweden is a herring-infused paradise of love and sharing!” at which point Sweden promptly gets on lit fire by Muslim refugees. All that’s missing was a woke, gender-fluid Viking wearing a “Flyktingar Välkommen” t-shirt blowing on a sad trombone.
Then Jewish Community Centers started getting threats and, of course, it had to be Trump supporters because fanatically pro-Israel people always threaten Jews or something. Facts, shmacts – the bogus narrative must be preserved! So Trump condemns this scummery, but also notes, “Sometimes it’s the reverse, to make people — or to make others — look bad.” Of course, the fake news media went nuts, because no hate crime has ever been a hoax except for almost all of them, so we conservatives settled down with our tea and waited for the ending we totally saw coming. And, of course – of course – as every non-Fredoriffic conservative predicted, the FBI busted the slug responsible for a bunch of the threats and it turned out to be …. wait for it.
Let’s see. Was it the conservative Trump supporter? Did he have a MAGA hat? Just like the media and the liberals would have you believe? Oh come on, we all knew it. Say it with me: “Leftist member of the media.”
Um, awkward! Hey, look on the bright side. At least this particular leftist member of the media didn’t murder anyone.
And, of course, there is the Trump the Authoritarian/Trump the New Hitler meme. Except Trump’s apparently not very good at authoritarianism, since no one seems to be being oppressed. He has a lot of policy ideas, which he openly explained to the American people in his speech, and which he will submit to Congress to be debated and voted upon before being enacted. That seems to correspond pretty closely to how I learned a bill becomes a law on Schoolhouse Rock.
Well, maybe his enforcing the duly enacted laws passed by Congress to deport illegal aliens counts as authoritarian Hitler stuff, except it seems odd that a leader who is doing what the people’s representatives passed into law instead of unilaterally deciding on his own not to do what the people’s representatives voted to do, and thereby effectively ruling by decree, is a hitlery authoritarian.
Obama unilaterally changed the immigration law by simply not enforcing it. That seems pretty undemocratic. He also seems to have tapped the communications of his political opponents and left some sleepers in the government dedicated to bringing down the new administration. Maybe I’m being fussy, but those seem super-undemocratic. Naturally, the mainstream media finds this all less disturbing than Kellyanne Conway’s Oval Office footwear.
Watch the liberals. Listen to what they say, because their lies and their slanders are a road map to their plans for the future. Straightforward from here, given the chance, they absolutely intend to impose the kind of quasi-fascist rule, they falsely accuse Trump of contemplating. But their problem is that we now recognize their lies, and we see their endgame, and the collapse of the media gatekeepers means they can no longer keep us blind and isolated. So when they lie, we are going to throw their hypocrisy right back in their withered, pruny faces and there’s nothing they can do to shut us up. Sorry, you lying sacks of socialism, we’re not about to let you rip our country apart.
Good article. Exactly.

Accusing others of doing what they themselves are doing has been very effective for the demonrats.
It's actually kinda obvious most of the time, like with the Russian "Squirrel!" distraction currently in use, but when I point it out to my progressive friends and family, they don't/can't/won't see it.
Perhaps one day they will though and what fun that will be!
I am at the point now where I am absolutely convinced the mental disorder of "liberalism" has as a prominent symptom the inability to think beyond the next few minutes or perhaps a day or so.
Here is another example from a post a few days ago.
in April 2015 that the Clintons received millions of dollars from the Chairman of the firm Uranium One which were not disclosed publicly and in return the firm received uranium deposits in the US. At the same time the Russians were buying the majority stake in Uranium One. Ultimately the Clintons made millions and the Russians took over a large portion of the world’s global uranium supply chain.
Why would any normal person make baseless accusations against people that have done absolutely nothing that are identical to fully documented actions they themselves HAVE done?
Actions that they took that actually are criminal?
It's like some sort of involuntary confession in the form of accusations syndrome.
ICAS ?

It’s difficult to find humor in this madness but the artless way in which lefty media types parrot their talking points is good comedy value.
There are always a ridiculous number of them seated around a table (CNN has had a dozen or more at one time). The round table is intentional - it makes for bad TV since we’re always looking at someone’s back or the back of their head - because it implies that the overall tenor of the show is a balanced viewpoint when, obviously, the viewpoint is all liberalism all the time.
Each of them, especially the woman, takes on a deadly serious air (eg the goggle-eyed Cokie Roberts) as they utter the exact same buzzwords and catchphrases. They pretend (?) that what they’re saying is original in content and wording yet time and again they have been caught out by ‘media montages’ that show their lockstep, preplanned fusillade of cliches.
These people are literally reading the paper or an email brief minutes before they go on air. They have neither the time nor the inclination to gather their own information, let alone apply logic, chronology or anything else that might lead them to an independent viewpoint.
They spew their groupthink, have coffee and croissants and do it all again the next day.
You Can Tell What Leftists Are Doing By What They Accuse Conservatives Of Doing
It's true. Social Justice Warriors always Project.
Kurt Schlichter is one of my new favorites.
Even when they really think the other side is doing something, it’s usually just paranoia as they’re just considering what THEY would be doing. So the other side “must” be doing it. It just reflects their thinking, nobody else.
So there probably was collusion with the Russians, by democrats.
When they point their finger and shout “hateful, intolerant bigot”, they’re actually talking about themselves.
When the claim “lying criminals” they’re deflecting.
It’s astonishing the Hillary was demonstrably exposed as a lying (admits public and private policies), cheating (all debates), criminal (broke Espionage Act). Yet her voters, to this day, only see Trump this way - without any actual evidence. Cognitive dissonance in its purest.

Your post is absolutely true, but it’s not always just limited to the “progressives”. I’m certain there’s quite a few so called conservative writers that read Free Republic to glean ideas for their next article. The very title of the article being discussed is something a number of us have pointed out. As an example, just a few days ago I posted the following:
“Since we know the democrats ALWAYS lie, and that more often than not they project negative issues onto others that they themselves embody, and given Hillary’s uranium dealing with the Russians AND Obama’s dealing as caught on the ‘hot mike’........”

I am certain that the ideas and thoughts we present in our comments have a definite impact upon the current conservative taliking points.
I've recently recognized that whatever Dems and leftists say about Trump accurately and honestly describes themselves. In this case, Rosie is exposing herself, and those that she supports, as traitors.
Judge not that you be not judged. In judging Trump, they judge themselves. For example, they call him racist, because they ARE racists.
Therefore you have no excuse, every one of you [leftists] who passes judgment [on Trump], for in that which you judge another [Trump], you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.Romans 2:1 (NASB)
Reading news this way promotes far greater understanding and is fun.
The underlying reason this works, is that their motive is political power, and Trump's is to help America and Americans. Those who think he is doing this for political power ARE themselves after political power, or see things only through that filter. The truth is Donald Trump has demonstrated great love in laying his life down for the nation. Someday he will be recognized for hero he is.
Good point
Did you ever hear of psychological projection? The liberals/rats/”progressives; whatever you want to call them, are masters in it.
THAT’S a good post!
. . . into the heart of darkness..
“More likely it’s a common insight.”
I right now, think that’s probably it. The “progs”, libtards, dems, whatever, are going way overboard right now with their projection, and being quite blatent about it, though they cannot see it.

This sounds like that woman I had in my first marriage!
