Well, the long knives are being unsheathed.
All the Sunday morning liberal news media pundits appeared to have gotten the memo and they were all reading from the published Obama/Democrat script. It’s surprising that they don’t bother to change a word or two here and there to give the spin a less robotic quality, but maybe they’re just not clever enough.
Mitt Romney and his newly-selected VP, Paul Ryan, both of whom have been characterized as true boy scouts, are deeply religious family men (this is now considered a black mark against one’s name), and, until recently, would have been considered “hard targets” for the sleazy, Chicago thug-style political charges and allegations that one would expect from David Axelrod, Hilary Rosen, Harry Reid, Stephanie Cutter and other such slime merchants. One might think that miscreants such as these would take a step back from their usual unprincipled and unscrupulous tactics.
But, these are desperate times, folks. We’d better assume that the gloves are now officially off, and what has been considered sleazy and contemptible up until now will be regarded as “the high road” and will be avoided by the left, in deference to the latest bottom-feeder attack methods.
Now, suggesting that a straight-arrow, pillar of the community such as Mitt Romney is a felon, a tax cheat and a murderer without a shred of evidence is merely liberally-acceptable politics-as-usual.
Should we fight fire with fire and suggest that Barack Obama is a felon, a tax cheat and a murderer?
Probably not advisable.
Then we would be considered the bad guys because we have lowered ourselves to their level. We’d be the bad guys because we’re supposed to be above that sort of thing. I guarantee that would be the charge that the lame stream media would level at our side.
I think a more effective strategy would be something like this: When someone like Hilary Rosen makes a charge such as “Ann Romney never worked a day in her life” she should be met with such a blistering barrage of fact-based and humiliating repudiation for a couple of weeks that she would not dare show her face for the next two or three election cycles. Not only would her charge be shown to be untrue and stupid but an Obama/Axelrod-style hit squad would be turned loose on her to dredge up any and all foul deeds from her past life.
If a lie is put forth by one of the President’s subordinates (that includes David Axelrod or anyone at his level) and the lie can be easily disproved by a rudimentary fact check, it must be met with ferocity such that the liar in question is humiliated for making such a ludicrous and obviously mean-spirited attempt to destroy the character of his or her target. This humiliation should be intense and relentless to the point that the offender will feel moved to consider another line of work. A level of embarrassment should be inflicted on said perpetrator such that any statement or opinion put forth by him or her in the future is met with across-the-board scorn and incredulity.
Make no mistake. This is the most important election in most of our lifetimes. It’s the most important election in my lifetime and I go back to FDR!!
If our side uses the gentlemanly “We mustn’t use the president's middle name”; “You shouldn’t make fun of the president's ears”; “Never attack the president’s association with his radical friends” style of campaigning, that was SO MONUMENTALLY SUCCESSFUL IN 2008, we will have our a$$es handed to us again and we’ll have nobody to blame but ourselves.
Good point on Patton. And I to have been To Bastogne and ol’Georges grave and one thing Patton was not was a quiter of defeatist. He did not give up when the Germans were swarming through the Ardennes he bucked up and told Ike that he could get his army turned around and headed up to the German flank the day after tomorrow morning. He did and he turned 3 divisions around and helped break the Germans hold on Bastogne. Patton never gave up, he never showed defeatism. I to have studied Patton and Patton@Bastogne is nothing like the real George S Patton. Thanks for you comment to.
“We’ll never hear Obama speak out against any of this violence, because its part and parcel of the left, and he promotes it.”
If they didn’t have lies and vicious attacks, they wouldn’t have nothin’.
“If the dims don’t like it, it has to be a great choice!”
You got that right!! But they are getting difficult to read. I heard one idiot say the dims are “giddy” about the choice!!
“Giddy” or “furious”, I think in their effort to camouflage their true opinion, they get confused themselves.
“All you have to ask is, Ryan or Biden?”
Wouldn’t it be great if all of life’s choices were that uncomplicated?
“Provoking them into ever more horrific meltdowns is clearly part of the Romney strategy.”
It is definitely working!
I’ve heard people on their side admit that the nasty and easily-refuted attacks are chipping away at O’Bummer’s “likeability” rating.
“…who will claim that SHE is the “real reason” Ryan doesn’t “go home” on weeknights.”
You, sir, have an evil mind!!
Unfortunately, I can see that very scenario developing in the next few days. But when that kind of sleaze becomes so predictable, can it continue to be effective?
When everybody in the world is waiting, with bated breath, for the Obama/Floozie gambit to be sprung on us, it becomes rather comical, doesn’t it?
“They are very desperate and in full panic mode.”
They certainly seem to be flailing about like a drowning man, don’t they?
Sinking returns from fund raisers; half-empty rooms at his countless pep rallies. Could he be going down for the third time?
Proof that there really is a God!!
“…send American Conservatives into battle riding horses donated by the WW2 Polish Calvary aginst Stuka Dive Bombers and Tiger Tanks ..”
I salute you, O student of THE BIG ONE!!
But consider this:
If we could survive that, how could we let a narcissistic twerp like His Majesty, King Barack bring us down?
Keep the faith. It ain’t over till it’s over.
“Can’t wait for Stumbling bumbling Joe Biden to debate Ryan...Wo! Hoo!”
I can’t keep from laughing when I think of that Battle of the Titans.
The guy that everyone admits is the smartest, most articulate dude in the neighborhood going up against The Gaffemeister!! This should qualify as some kind of Comedy Special.

Well, I think our “Post-racial President” said it better than I ever could:
“It’s us against them”.
“Hussein, Hussein, Hussein, Hussein, Hussein...!”
O’Bummer’s very flattering photo should have the caption:
“What, me worry?” under it.
“Yes, but the key to that Democrap win was that Herman did in fact do the deed.”
I like Herman, but he did seem to roll over with very little protest, didn’t he?
Is that you Tokyo Rove...
Your name belies your yellow streak that Patton would kick repetitively. Patton was a fighter contrary to your id.
I think Romney by picking Ryan, has picked a fight with Obama that Obama would do anything to avoid.
By God I would ten times rather go down fighting than to acquiesce to your defeatism. Conservatism properly and clearly stated will win. Bloody damn the quisling RINOs among us.
So, as I said, you are useless to yourself, to your fellow Americans and to your country.
Take your drivel somewhere else.
