Be afraid, be very afraid of RCN (say the Dems)

Living next door to a battleground state (New Hampshire), we’ve been inundated lately with Obama TV spots about how terrible Mitt Romney is. If what they’re saying were true, I’d be lucky to be alive — as many times as I sat alone with Willard in my radio studio when he was governor.
Felon, murderer, tax cheat. And to think that his nickname at the State House was Dudley Do-Right.
If you believe the Democratic agit-prop, the local constabulary in Hillsborough County should be rousting the whole convention, like the New York cops did when the Mafia got together at Apalachin back in 1957.
SWAT teams should be surrounding the arena. Delegates should be told to come out with their hands up. The cops should be firing tear-gas canisters into the lobby.
Apocalypse, famine, genocide — you’d think this convention was being held at the Tampa Bay End Times Forum.
But none of the nightmares predicted by the Obama campaign and its parrots on the dying limousine-liberal broadsheets will come to pass.
At the convention, for instance, there will be no recruiting booths where one can enlist in the War on Women.
No GOP delegates will be wearing badges saying, “Ask Me About My Birth Certificate.”
Or, “Kiss Me — I’m Mormon.”
There will be no branches of chain stores selling ... chains.
The Todd Akin Fan Club will not be recruiting in the convention center corridors.
Paul Ryan will not be autographing wheelchairs to be used to push grandma off a cliff.
Chick-Fil-A will not be the only food served at the convention center.
At the Republicans’ online store, no gold-plated roof-rack dog crates are for sale. Neither is any of the poisoned food and water that Nancy Pelosi claims the GOP wants to foist on the children.
In this pre-convention period, Democrats have had a temporary funding advantage over the Republicans’ primary-depleted coffers. Once the conventions end, the GOP will have more dough, but in the meantime Barack et al. have deluged the swing-state airwaves with tens of millions of dollars worth of anti-Romney ads.
If you watch much Boston TV, you might believe Mitt Romney is already organizing a post-inauguration terror campaign to dynamite the electric car-battery recharging stations outside City Hall and in every Whole Foods Market [WFMI] parking lot in Moonbatistan.
ABC News is already planning to blame any murders next week in Tampa on the Tea Party. Brian Ross has confirmed it through his “sources.”
At least the networks are going to be streaming the coverage live online. That way they won’t be able to leave any pro-Republican soundbites on the cutting-room floor, the way CBS did on “60 Minutes” earlier this month when Paul Ryan talked about his mother living in Florida and using Medicare.
Stand by for tonight’s pre-convention special on NPR.
