MEDIA PROMOTES VIOLENCE AGAINST REPUBLICANS?
Current ^ | 2/16/10 | Current

Posted on 03/25/2010 1:54:27 PM PDT by illiac

Can you actually believe this crud? Okay, I get it Democrats, you don't like Republicans because they oppose your social ideology - so just have your leftist media promote violence against them?.. Are you really showing your true colors (SEIU purple?) as the progressive and tolerant political party which you claim to be ?

In order for the Right to win in the court of public opinion the Left has to draw first blood. All the Right has to do is speak the truth which makes the Leftists turn apoplectic and rabidly irrational. Look what happened when the provost of Ottawa U. sicked his Leftist students on Anne Coulter!

Most of this crap about "violence", "threats", etc., is to soften the impact that is going to be received when these traitor dems go home for recess and have their "town hall meetings".

A lot of people will probably show up to express their dissatisfaction with obamacare and disappointment in the dem who voted for it. Yes, dems...no Republicans voted for it...this fiasco is all dems.

Get ready for the left to paint everyone who attends as racists, haters, etc. But we need to remember, LET THEM START THE VIOLENCE...then we can finish it.

Hey dems...you danced the dance...now you have to pay the fiddler.....

Keep your powder dry. That will be our key to ultimate victory.

Give the left enough rope and if they don’t hang themselves, we won’t have to carry more to assist them in their departure.

Right now in Schenectady, NY a terrorism trial is winding up, accusing CSEA official Steven Raucci of using spray paint, slashed tires, acid etching and explosives to intimidate perceived rivals and opponents. The trial revealed that CSEA officials up to and including President Danny Donohue knew of Raucci’s activities and tolerated them. The Schenectady School Superintendent (Raucci’s boss) even tipped him off to the investigation.

Meanwhile, the construction trade unions are intimating “labor unrest” (sabotage, violence) if non-union contractors aren’t restricted from bidding on the Crown Point Bridge replacement through a Project Labor Agreement (PLA.)

I guess if the threats and intimidation come from a labor union, whether it be CSEA or SEIU or the Teamsters, that doesn’t count.

Since homobama is pissing off so many of our foreign allies (such as Britain, Isreal, Australia, Japan, just to name a few), I believe these allies will help the Red States in the upcoming Civil War II.

“Cantor: Threats? This. Is. Congress!”
by Daniel Foster

SNIPPET: “”It is reckless to use these incidents as a media vehicle for political gains,” Cantor said, saying that he has consistently chosen not to publicize the volume of threats he routinely receives by e-mail — many because he is Jewish — and revealing that a bullet was recently fired into his offices.”

“Breaking: Bomb threat against Tea Party organizers”
POSTED AT 1:18 PM ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2009 BY ED MORRISSEY

SNIPPET: “The Washington DC Tea Party appears to be a big success, but it’s not for lack of trying among the movement’s more lunatic opponents. Yesterday, the DC Metro police evacuated the offices of Freedomworks after several threats, including a bomb-threat phone call that police considered credible enough to investigate:”

SNIPPET: “The threat came when a man called the FreedomWorks main line and told the organization’s female receptionist: “I put a bomb in your building, bitch.”

The FreedomWorks staffer who spoke with ABC News said that the organization has received multiple threats but that for some reason, the DC Metro police thought that this one was credible enough to evacuate the building.”

SNIPPET: “It’s doubly ironic that these terroristic threats — and that’s what they are — took place on the eighth anniversary of 9/11, an irony apparently lost on the nutcases trying to disrupt a peaceful demonstration. It’s simply despicable.”

...so just have your leftist media promote violence against them?

Ignore the man behind the curtain...

Nothing but a theatrical production created with the sole and intent purpose of attempting to manufacture discontent and anomimosity toward conservative ideals.

I'd be willing to bet a dollar against a donut that at least half of the "threats" the dems have received were from left wingers. Either real or staged.

Let no crisis go to waste - isn't that the motto?

Filed under: General — Patterico @ 11:12 pm

SNIPPET: “There is justifiably some concern relating to the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, and violent threats. It’s just not quite what you’ve been hearing in Big Media.

On Twitter, a fellow calling himself Jason Brown has been posting since May 10, 2009, and has a total of 379 messages posted so far. He is a fan of Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow. Typical of his leftist political beliefs are messages like this:”
