The left has for 4 decades held captive the stage for public protests in opposition to various governmental policies. They considered themselves experts at shouting out their message to politicians that generally ignored them. Perhaps they had some small success on the local level, and the cumulative effect of the various Vietnam war rallies certainly had the effect over period of years, in shaping national policy. They were secure in their minds as the voice of the downtrodden and oppressed, but their message was never unified and was usually disjointed based upon various special interests.
The Right just beat them at their own game and they are really really ticked off about it. You see, never in the history of this nation has any group or collection of like minded thinkers, organized a truly national protest. That is, simultaneous rallies to protest the same subject matters in every major city and many small towns in the nation. Never has the left been able to put out their message on a nationally unified scale and done so in a coordinated get out and be heard manner. They were in awe and did not know what to do about it, thus they lashed out with violent diatribes. They did what they do best, they couldn't attack the message, so they resorted to mass personal attacks against the people protesting. It struck them to the core and still all they can come up with are personal attacks.
Worse yet, they realized that many of those attending the rallys were disgusted Obama voters who realized they had made a mistake. This was as bad for the left as it gets short of a national landslide election against them. Congress did notice this groundswell and it scares the bejeesus out of them. They know that if this sort of thing translated into votes, the liberal agenda is toast. The Potomac Pirates are now trying to figure what to do, they were told. Do they smell the coffee? Our battle for our country is not over, we must keep reminding them. But above all remember they are in assault mode to discredit this movement, don't let em. Move forward with care and confidence.
The right and center just out protested the left, and they have no idea how to handle it.
