Leftist Propaganda: Smear The Tea Party

Well-known member
In the wake of the horrific Sikh temple shootings in Wisconsin, left-wing barrel-scrapers are demanding that talk-radio giant Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives apologize for criticizing a 2009 Department of Homeland Security report that hyped an ominous new wave of violent "rightwing extremism."

I don't apologize. I call foul.

The media lowlifes who exploit every tragic shooting to silence their law-abiding, First Amendment-exercising enemies are tearing this country apart. "Progressives" have had free rein to libel and slander peaceful, liberty-loving citizens — while whitewashing the violent plots and criminal behavior of their ideological counterparts. No more.

Wade Michael Page was a chronically unemployed Army washout with a drinking problem; a body covered in abhorrent white supremacist tattoos; Neo-Nazi band membership; a recent breakup with his white supremacist girlfriend; and a military discharge under "other than honorable conditions" that suggests to several psychological experts he may have had a disqualifying mental illness.

He was, in short, an unrepentant racist and sicko for whom no decent Americans have sympathy or tolerance.

Before he turned the gun on himself, Page slaughtered six innocent human beings. But instead of mourning their deaths and decrying evil in all its forms, some vultures chose to indict the entire right. Instead of waiting for all the facts to come out about Page's life and mental history, political opportunists rifled through their drawer of partisan grievances to score points.

They are using the Sikh temple massacre to try to delegitimize perfectly legitimate criticism of the Obama administration's 2009 Department of Homeland Security report lumping in homicidal extremists like Page with ordinary activists who embrace the very principles of limited government espoused by our Founding Fathers.

On Thursday, Los Angeles Times reporter James Rainey promoted a smug article titled, "Sorry, Mr. Limbaugh, but Obama agency did not target tea party." Rainey, who describes himself as having "spent many of his 30 years in journalism cogitating on politics," blamed Limbaugh, Rep. John Boehner and yours truly for "prevent(ing) tracking of home-grown crackpots."

The DHS assessments, Rainey claimed, "were carefully couched as trends to beware of, directed not at everyday political activists but at those who planned to use violence to carry out their beliefs."

Sorry, Los Angeles Times. But your cogitating reporter misreported what was in those assessments and why conservatives successfully protested them. The politically timed documents were released just as thousands of peaceful, law-abiding Tea Party members were preparing the nationwide April 15 Tax Day Tea Party protests.
DHS's overbroad report didn't just target those prone to violence with "carefully couched" language.

No, Los Angeles Times. The feds engaged in scare-mongering about unnamed groups and individuals "antagonistic toward the new presidential administration" and "those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely." Code words for the stimulus-opposing, bailout-protesting Tea Party movement. Duh. For good measure, the report tossed in vague references to pro-lifers, Second Amendment activists and border security advocates, too.

As I noted at the time, past FBI reports on domestic terrorism have always been very specific in identifying the exact groups, causes and targets — i.e., the Animal Liberation Front, Earth Liberation Front, and enviro-wackos who have engaged in physical harassment, arson, vandalism and worse against pharmaceutical companies, farms, labs and university researchers.

By contrast, the 2009 report was a sweeping indictment of conservatives. The report warned that unspecified "rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the economy." Conservative blogosphere? Guilty! And the entire report asserted with no evidence that an unquantified "resurgence in rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalization activity" was due to home foreclosures, job losses and "the historical presidential election." To the extent that the DHS assessments mentioned military service members, they focused on Army veterans returning from war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Rainey and his ilk blithely glide over the fact that Page was an Army dropout who never saw combat.

No matter. Liberal commentators have convicted GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann, GOP Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and the entire conservative talk-radio world for Page's murderous rampage. On the dregs of cable TV news, MSNBC's Ed Schultz invoked our criticism of the 2009 report to try to shame and blame Righty.

Meanwhile, these ghouls remain radio-silent about actual domestic terror plots tied directly to the Democratic Party-embraced Occupy movement. Take the ring of self-identified Occupy leaders, members and anarchist organizers in Cleveland, Ohio, charged with plotting to bomb bridges in Ohio and kill potentially hundreds in order to sabotage local business and commerce.

One pleaded guilty last month and will testify against the other four — who attempted to detonate what they thought was an improvised explosive device intended to blow up a local bridge and take the lives of untold commuters across the Cuyahoga River. Media apologists have gone out of their way to minimize the severity of the plot and to enable Occupy organizers to distance themselves from their violent anarchist members.

In the warped world of James Rainey, MSNBC Neanderthals and George Soros operatives, every conservative is a rightwing terrorist. But there are no left-wing terrorists — only misguided kids whose social justice agenda simply went awry. The bias reeks like an Occupy camp in the dog days of August.

The first thing the LEFT bias media seems to always do is BLAME the right. They don't care what the facts are, all they care for is the opportunity to point fingers and make claims they can not possibly back without spreading hate.

As I see it, it was bad prior to the election of the first black President but it has become much worst with the attempts of the left to hold on to power. Anytime they can paint the Right as evil to take the heat off their incompetent leader, that has tore the US limb from limb with his racist crap, their are going to do it. It doesn't matter that these wack job murders are clinically INSANE they will find a way to label them and blame the RIGHT before the true facts are out. AND you can bet they will drop the story once the truth is out, just like those slimeball Congressmen disappeared after they claimed Zimmerman was a racist and shot poor little baby faced Trayvon. They were all out in front of the cameras for days after the news hit the airwaves. But did you see any of them apologizing for their claims of racism after the FBI report cleared Zimmerman of being a racist NO. Silence, Crickets, Not a word from those race baiting slimeballs. The Left well never disappoint when it comes to pointing fingers of blame. :roll: :x

The Left is a party of VICTIMS nothing is ever their fault and they can find someone besides themselves to blame for EVERYTHING.

You are right. The only way the left can feel good about obama and his agenda is to tear down and ridicule someone else. They think it makes them look stronger, but it does the opposite.

Eventually, I hope they will start thinking for themselves.

If Romney doesn't kick his campaign organizers to the curb and get some people that will hold Obama accountable for the lieing crap campaign he is waging on Romney, Obama will be re-elected. :mad:
When you have a spokeman go on TV after you have been accused of being responsible for a guys wife's death and your spokeman's answer is well if she had lived in Mass. she would have had healthcare is BULL CRAP. She needs to be fired yesterday and her replacement told to HOLD OBAMA ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE LIES. The woman had her own health insurance that she lost before she died so to blame Romney is a bold face lie. And for Burton, the man responisible for the ad, to go on TV and say that ad was not blaming Romney is BULL CRAP TOO. There is no other way to take that ad once the guy said Romney doesn't know what he was doing to others. IT BLAMED ROMNEY FOR A DEATH THAT HAPPENED YEARS AFTER THE MAN LOST HIS JOB.

Then you add the fact Obama's Campaign Deputy Manager says she knew nothing about the details of the woman's death and the Campaign didn't work with the Super Pac when there is an interview between her and the guy and there is a Obama Campaign ad with the same guy wearing the same shirt. It doesn't take a genius to figure out the Campaign and Super Pac are breaking the law and are working together putting out these lieing ads. Never mind the fund raising the White House Staff is doing for the Super Pac. :roll:
Obama and his Chicago goons will do what ever it takes to win and Romney needs to stick to the economy and job issues to beat him but he has to have GOOD SPOKESMEN holding Obama's thugs accountable. No filthy lie whether it comes from Obama, Reid, Pelosi, DNC through air head Wasserman Schultz or his White House staff funded Super Pac can go un-answered with an ad pointing out the TRUTH. Something this lieing Administration can't handle coming out.

Romney Spokeswoman Defends Romneycare, Gets Blasted by Conservatives


Mitt Romney's spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, defended the health-insurance plan Romney signed when he was governor of Massachusetts and harvested criticism from Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives for it. Saul was trying to respond to a question about an Obama ad that discussed someone dying for lack of health insurance and said that if the dead woman had lived in Massachusetts (i.e., with Romneycare) she would have been insured and probably be alive now. This statement gives the impression that Romneycare--and its clone, Obamacare--is a good thing at a time when the Republican line is that it is a terrible thing and needs to be repealed.

No doubt Democrats are going to pounce on this and make ads saying that even Romney's own staff realizes what a great achievement it was for Romney to sign the bill. Fortunately it is still August, nobody is paying attention (except conservative activists who never really liked Romney), and the whole matter is too subtle for most voters anyway.


The comedy is that the current cult of Repubs is so split they don't know what they want or what they should like or not... The real comedy is that the center component to Romneycare and Obamacare- the "mandate" which was upheld by the Supreme Court- is a conservative Republican idea originally and has been a part of every major Republican health care proposal for the past 40+ years... Nixon proposed the employee mandate- which was then altered by the Heritage Foundation to be an individual mandate- which was then proposed by Orrin Hatch as a alternative to Hillarycare- the last time the Repubs put up a total healthcare package....And now that it has come to be they don't know what they want.. :roll: :p :lol: :lol:

and every time it was proposed,.. a healthy debate showed it was not a good idea so it went nowhere.. (even Hillery found that out)

but not this time because the debate was closed and the law rammed through with out even a simple reading..
