The Safeway Massacre, Obama’s Oklahoma City Bombing and Gore’s Global Warming
Justin Washington, the Blogger ^ | 01/09/2010 | Justin Washington

On Saturday, 01/08/2011, Democrat Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot and critically wounded; several other innocent bystanders were also critically injured or killed. The media immediately sprang into action — devoid of facts — linking the deranged gunman as having been inspired by the “radical right,” the “Tea Party” and anyone else who disagrees with Democrats or liberals.

As out-going Obama’s Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel once said, “You never want to let a serious crisis [or in this case, slaughter] go to waste.” Could this event become Obama’s Oklahama City Bombing, as wished for by Democrat strategist, Mark Penn, when he said on Hardball on 11/04/2010 on the eve of the crushing rejection of the Obama/Reid/Pelosi agenda by saying that Obama needed a “similar event” to the Oklahoma City Bombing in order to reconnect with his constituents?

Ironic, that the same media who are so willing to pin the blame for this horrific massacre on the Tea Party or Sarah Palin, which is short-hand for “Republicans,” “conservatives” or anyone who believes in the Constitution, were the same ones telling us “not to jump to conclusions” when Major Nidal Malik Hasan (a trained psychiarist, no doubt!) opened fired at Fort Hood in Texas on 11/05/09, killing 13 and wounding 30 soliders and civilians while yelling “Allahu Akbar.” We must not link a killer shouting “Alluhu Akbar” as a potential Islamic terrorist, but we must immediately assume a linkage between a deranged shooter of a Democrat Congresswoman with the Republican Party, Tea-Party or the Constitution Party.

In a distant past, our less partisan media would have immediately tried to join all Americans in their shocked grief by the actions of a clearly deranged individual rather than try to automatically paint an entire swath of the public as the perpetrators for having an alternative political opinion from their cherished liberal view of the world.

Sadly instead, the media excitedly jump on the blame-the Tea Party treadmill while avoiding actual facts and inconvenient, incediary quotes from Democrat politicians:

Obama: “They [Republicans] bring a knife…we bring a gun.” Obama to voters: Republican victory would mean “hand to hand combat” Obama to Latino supporters: “Punish your enemies.” Obama to democrats: “I’m itching for a fight.”

Here in his own “conciliatory and unifying” words is President Urkel Obama, Democrat President of the United States; yet, the media obsess about Sarah Palin using “bulls-eyes” on her website to “target” specific politicians for replacement (despite the fact that the Democratic National Committee websites have been using “bulls-eyes” to “target” Republicans as far back as 2004 during the Bush Administration).

The wonderful, logical world of liberalism has been set in the same rubric as the “Global Warming” debate. The media now inform us that “global warming” is a FACT if one of the following conditions are met:

1. If the weather is WARMER than expected, it is because of “man-made global warming;”

2. If the weather is COLDER than expected, it is because of “man-made global warming;’ and

3 If the weather stays the same, it is because of “man-made global warming.”

By golly, the “global warming” advocates have it locked in, just as whatever becomes of the investigation of this crazed killer, it is because conservatives, Republicans and Tea-Partiers were somehow involved.

It's not going to work for the left this time. 1995 was a different world. Very little internet access, no Fox News, minimal national talk radio, Limbaugh was on his own for the most part. No social media, no blogs.

As I've said before; if the left and Democrats had known 20 years ago how the internet would shape the political and social landscape, they would have done everything in their power to keep the public from having access to it.

That’s why the left is now after Internet “neutrality” — they in fact didn’t realize that the Internet has become the vehicle for leveling the playing field.

Let them try, they can't , but even if they could, we still have shortwave, good people like Alice Jones & others will always be there to help us know the tricks of the trade (i.e. the perp dude has the same lawyer as the Unibomber= mind control asset agent)

If the Left or the Right view an incident like this shooting as an effective means of furthering their political goals, or harming their opponents then they necessarily view that incident as a virtue. I am reminded of the Democrats’ excitement over the landfall of that Hurricane during the 2008 Republican Convention. I have been glad to see that most here on Free Republic have offered prayers for the victims unlike over at DU.

Reading the first accusations by the Left attributing the shooting to the Tea Party I thought about the influence of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. I haven’t read it(will not buy it but would read it for free). Did find a summary containing the following quote:

“’The organizer’s first job is to create the issues or problems,’ and ‘organizations must be based on many issues.’ The organizer ‘must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act. . . . An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent.’”

It seems to me that has been what’s happening taking into consideration the many vitriolic statements made by the pres himself.

Bhoy,

Very good post! Interesting stuff — now the antidote to this is first being aware of what’s happening (which I think more and more people are becoming aware of). After that, expose the liars and rabble-rousers.

These people are the opposite of peace-makers — “Blessed are the peace-makers...”
