It’s been amusing and educational, since last November’s elections, watching the Democrats squirm.
For example, Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschele (feels really good to say that) Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschele lately is rather like watching a mouse in a trap. Grisly, to say the very least. Flailing around helplessly, the mouse will start frothing at the mouth attacking anything and everything… even shadows. So it was with Old Tommy Boy who started frothing at the mouth, attacking everything to
his right…which these days includes just about everything.
Apparently here is a man who knows he’s never going any higher in his political life, he will never attain any more power,, and so all bets are off. Everything and everyone got his blame. Of course the fact that the media he blames for his loss is biased so far to the left that the claims of press neutrality in reporting are something of a national joke. That point aside, he also tried to tell us all how it
was those who oppose him that had been projecting a tenor that has led to increased threats on those of the left. He claimed threats have increased against him and his family….
Well, let’s break out for a minute; Since the post 9/11 anthrax attacks, during which MANY Americans are sent envelopes containing white powder, Dashiele has been under Secret Service Protection. Do you think for a minute that in that situation, added threats wouldn’t have eventually made the news? Put simply, the man’s a bald faced liar. That said, let’s continue.
Dasheile went on to blame talk show hosts… “Rush Limbaugh and all of the Rush Limbaugh wannabes” for an “increasingly negative tone in politics. ” He said, to an astonished room full or Reporters:
“What happens when Rush Limbaugh attacks those of us in public life is that people aren’t satisfied just to listen, They want to act because they get emotionally invested. And so, you know, the threats to those of us in public life go up dramatically, on our families and on us, in a way that’s very disconcerting.”
Well, let’s examine this. I mean, let’s examine some recent events some recent quotes in then news, some recent usenet quotes, and see where the attacks designed to increase threats are from and whom they are directed at. Let’s see where the unfounded hysteria is really coming from. Let’s look behind the Leftist claims to the real source.
“When you don’t vote, you let another church explode. When you don’t vote, you allow another cross to burn. When you don’t vote, you let another assault wound a brother or sister. When you don’t vote, you let the Republicans continue to cut school lunches and Head Start.”
Oh, yeah. Nothing inflammatory there, huh? Nothing hysterical, there. Nothing designed to project “a tenor that has led to increased threats on those” who aren’t leftist, eh?
Or how about this campaign ad?
“On June 7, 1998 in Texas my father was killed. He was beaten, chained, and then dragged 3 miles to his death, all because he was black. So when Governor George W. Bush refused to support hate-crime legislation, it was like my father was killed all over again. Call Governor George W. Bush and tell him to support hate-crime legislation. We won’t be dragged away from our future.”
Oh, yeah. Nothing inflammatory there, huh? Nothing hysterical, there. Nothing designed to project “a tenor that has led to increased threats on those” who aren’t leftist, eh?
Oh, yeah. It’s a real ad, Here’s the link:
http://www.gwu.edu/~action/ads2/adnaacp.html
And, it isn’t like the Democrats didn’t know and approve of what they’ve been doing….
Check the following exchange:
ABC’s George Stephanopoulos: “Well, if it’s wrong to play politics with national security, why not call off the scare tactics with Social Security?”
Gephardt: “I think that’s over the line when you get — get into national security. Social Security, the economy, jobs are always legitimate political issues and important substantive issues. ”
George Stephanopoulos:”You don’t think the DNC should take [the ad] down?”
Gephardt: “I don’t.”
—-(ABC’s “This Week,” October 6, 2002)
The comment about national security is of interest, too. When the Democrats started playing politics with our national security, Gephardt at least had the good sense to cut bait.
Liberal Pols are not the only ones cranking up the hysteria in politics. Remember Harry Belafonte taking to the radiowaves to slam Secretary of State Colin Powell as a sellout to the black race? Belafonte, a guest on San Diego’s 760 KFMB, told host Ted Leitner that Powell was like a plantation slave who moves into the slave owner’s
house and only says what his master wants him to say.
“In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and were those slaves that lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master… exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him.
“Colin Powell’s committed to come into the house of the master. When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture.” For close to twenty minutes, Belafonte ripped the entire Bush administration, including an attack on Attorney General John Ashcroft. “There’s something wrong with men who think the way Ashcroft does and who
manipulate the justice system the way he does.”
Belafonte likened Ashcroft’s tactics to the McCarthy era:
“Families were destroyed, neighbors spied on neighbors. Now we find Ashcroft cutting in under the guise of catching terrorists, suspending liberties and rights. To deny those rights, to any citizen, to any people, is to cast a great shame on us and lead us back to another dark period.”
Oh, yeah. Nothing inflammatory there, huh? Nothing hysterical, there. Nothing designed to project “a tenor that has led to increased threats on those” who aren’t leftist, eh?
Or, we can look at Nina Totenburg:
“If there is justice, he will get AIDS, or his grandchilderen will”
—(referring to Jesse Helms)
Oh, yeah. Nothing inflammatory there, huh? Nothing hysterical, there. Nothing designed to project “a tenor that has led to increased threats on those” who aren’t leftist, eh?
How about Margaret Carlson?
Linda “Tripp lost membership in the family of man” and “can safely be cast as a villain — the Mark Fuhrman of the Starr investigation,”
Oh, yeah. Nothing inflammatory there, huh? Nothing hysterical, there. Nothing designed to pproject “a tenor that has led to increased threats on those” who aren’t leftist, eh?
OK, this is all somewhat older stuff. More current you say:… Fine. How about November ’02, in this most recent election;
Candidate debate has unfriendly end
11/24/02
By Bill Walsh
Staff writer/The Times-Picayune
BATON ROUGE — An already-bitter U.S. Senate campaign got personal Saturday afternoon at the conclusion of a taped debate between Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu and Republican state Elections Commissioner Suzanne Haik Terrell.
After a tense 30-minute segment finished taping at WDSU’s studios in New Orleans, the two candidates were preparing to leave. According to witnesses, Landrieu looked over her shoulder and told Terrell, “This is your last campaign.”
A stunned Terrell replied, “She threatened me.”
Oh, yeah. Nothing inflamitory there, huh? Nothing hysterical, there. Nothing designed to project “a tenor that has led to increased threats on those” who aren’t leftist, eh?
How about Alec Baldwin? Is he still in the country? Remember his big
day?
“I’m thinking to myself if we were in other countries, we would, all of us together, all of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death! We would go to their homes, and we’d kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families”
Oh, yeah. Nothing inflammatory there, huh? Nothing hysterical, there. Nothing designed to project “a tenor that has led to increased threats on those” who aren’t leftist, eh?
Or, how about the steamy rethoric of Babs Striesand? Remember her memo to Democrat leaders? She continues to rant, even today.
“And there is a horde of extremist federal judicial nominees, deemed by the Democratically- controlled Senate as too conservative for confirmation, just waiting to get rushed through the nomination process. These judges are guaranteed to threaten our civil liberties, a woman’s right to choose, civil rights and environmental protection. And they will be around long after the president is gone.”
Oh, yeah. Nothing inflammatory there, huh? Nothing hysterical, there. Nothing designed to project “a tenor that has led to increased threats on those” who aren’t leftist, eh?
Really sad, that one. Such talent. Such a voice. Such an IDIOT.
There’s always Ed Asner…
“I feel that George Bush’s actions are desecrating the America that I grew up in and believed in. He is making us an imperialist government. He is choosing to replace heads of state and government he doesn’t like.”
Oh, yeah. Nothing inflammatory there, huh? Nothing hysterical, there. Nothing designed to pproject “a tenor that has led to increased threats on those” who aren’t leftist, eh? And as an aside, does that mean you DO like Saddam, Ed?
Or how about leftists on the street… literally. Check this from a recent USEnet posting.
“We all need to take a deep breath and think about being a Bush daughter and having that cross to bear. I’d go out and have a couple of drinks, too. – about President George W. Bush’s daughters being caught with alcohol as minors He’s embarrassing, he’s not my president. He will never be my president ”

“As far as I’m concerned, Bush in Texas is nothing more than a serial killer.”

How about Al Gore?
“They use colorblind the way duck hunters use their duck blind. They hide behind it and hope the ducks won’t figure out what they’re up to.” (On Good Morning America)

OK, let’s dive back into history, as I happen to find these little gems… One from Hillary Clinton:
“For anybody willing to find it, and write about it, and explain it, is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for President. A few journalists have kind of caught on to it and explained it, but it has not yet been fully revealed to the American public.” –Jan 27, 1998 Today Show (NBC)
Oh, yeah. Nothing inflammatory there, huh? Nothing hysterical, there. Nothing designed to project “a tenor that has led to increased threats on those” who aren’t leftist, eh?
Or, from: http://www.therightwing.com/conspiracy/
“The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy has been outed by First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. We can no longer lurk in the shadows. We must show ourselves to the world and reveal for all to see who we are. We have built this page to inform, educate, postulate, and to fight the lies. We have been maligned, slandered and misquoted. On this page you shall find THE TRUTH! Awaken to the knowledge. Arise to the dawn of a new
age. Advance to the Promised Land, to the TRUTH!:
These idiots wouldn’t know truth if it jumped up and bit them. Oh, yeah. Nothing inflammatory there, huh? Nothing hysterical, there. Nothing designed to pproject “a tenor that has led to increased threats on those” who aren’t leftist, eh? Just so we know the one quote is no fluke, let’s go back and look for more at the same site.
President Bill Clinton was in fear of the Extremist Right Wing Cabal (The Cabal) of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Bill Clinton did not hold more than two Cabinet meeting in 1998 because of his fear of the militant wing of the Conspiracy.

He feared his own Cabinet?

George W. Bush is Becoming More Like Hitler Everyday
1) The republican party and Bush almost mirror the propaganda methods used by Hitler in old nazi germany. The republicans are calling this fight against terrorism a war, this is propaganda. It is not a war, congress has to declare war and they have not done that. It is propaganda to call a fight against terrorism a war. http://www.angelfire.com/journal2/oreilly-sucks/hitlerbush.htm

From Elsewhere on the web:
US actor Martin Sheen, who plays the US president in hit series The West Wing, has said he cannot bear politics and that George W Bush is a “moron”. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1166696.stm

…the NAACP, which ran a multi-million dollar TV effort during the presidential race insinuating that George W. Bush hates black people and is in league with lynchers because he did not think extending a hate crimes law to include special protections for gays was a prudent idea. No Democrat has condemned this racial McCarthyism let alone the offensive outbursts of party extremists like Maxine Waters.

Oh, yeah. Nothing inflammatory there, huh? Nothing hysterical, there. Nothing designed to pproject “a tenor that has led to increased threats on those” who aren’t leftist, eh? Good thing Front Page caught that one and reported it as such instead of burying it.
Back to Usenet for one of the bigger idiots there:
“You Redcoat motherf—ers are done. You’ve blown your cover, and gotdamn that’s some nasty s*** you got under those sheats! Does KKK stand for Kringe Kringe Kringe? Here not 60 years ago, American men lined up to run head first into Nazi tanks singing the star spangled banner, and now we’ve come to this? You see a wrapped head come around the corner and you clutch your purse (why do you have a purse?) like
Satan himself is bearing down on you. You guys are cowards! Contortionists couldn’t bend over as far as you have for the Great Oligarchy Party! You know, if your grandpappy was upset with one of those knee-grows, he’d hop in the back of his truck and go shoot him! Now you’ve got to beg Ape Bushie Boy to throw out the miranda so you can beat the s*** out of suspects , mind you, only if the ACLU isn’t taping it. To call you pantywaist is an insult to drag queens; At least they’ve got nutz!Of note : My killfiles have been deleted, all of you cowardly little Repugnant b****s that are pissed off that I’ve been “ignoring” you can feel free to come get some of this.”

And another:
The whackos are all on the right nowadays. You’re the ones that want to genocide iraq and thereby inflame the arab world and thereby cause MORE terrorist attax on america. Just so you have cheap gas for your Tahoe.
Oh, yeah. Nothing inflammatory there, huh? Nothing hysterical, there. Nothing designed to project “a tenor that has led to increased threats on those” who aren’t leftist, eh?
The examples are easy to find there are millions, quite literally. All these quotes I’ve included in this 5 page commentary are easily verified, and prove beyond a shadow of any doubt:
It is the DEMOCRATS who are the real source of racism and hysteria, the real advocates of violence against political enemies.
It’ll be interesting to watch the cockroaches they are, run for cover when this light is placed on them.
