The Wisconsin GOP's terrible, terrible victimization (Moonbat blames GOP for fearing death threats)

[a fool in paradise]

Stalinist monkeys don’t have to believe in the crap they throw around. It’s merely a smear tactic.

>>Lincoln was no conservative.<<

Let’s not rehash the Civil War here. My point is that the author is cherry picking “facts” to make a straw man argument.

I’ll note this fools name and never pay his work any attention.

MLK was a Republican, not a Democrat.

But he supported no Republican presidential candidates after 1956.

Also, Jackie Robinson is called a Republican, but didn't support any Republican presidential candidates after 1960. He voted for Nixon in 1960, but publicly supported Humphrey in 1968.

I am growing weary of the “Thugs” who are hiding behind OUR Constitution while promoting their communist agenda.

I am sick of being terrorized by internal and external enemies while the people I elect to office refuse to protect me.

It’s about time we excercise our god given rights and rights befitted upon us by OUR Constitution.

Do a little Googling for the author’s name, and it quickly becomes apparent that he’s hip deep in Wisconsin union politics and campaign financing, to the point where he was given immunity against campaign finance related charges in 2001 when the Dems were in charge.

I can only imagine what his reaction would be if his celebrity status as a political writer/activist led to similar threats.

[Blind Eye Jones]

When I read this phrase “the fetish of self-victimization” it immediately conjures an image of a trendy idiot, wearing a Marxist beard, who gets a job at Salon because of daddy’s influence. The important point is the university pumps out more crap than a sewage plant.

[ozzymandus]

It’s OK to threaten conservatives. Ask Alec Baldwin.

“I can only imagine what his reaction would be if his celebrity status as a political writer/activist led to similar threats.”

Good point.

[shhrubbery!]

And did our wittle writer sort of forget to note the suspect who shot at Giffords was a LIBERAL?

Or that the assassin who shot JFK was a COMMUNIST?

Or that the assassin who shot RFK was a PALESTINIAN?

This has got me wondering whether any assassination (or attempted assassination) of a political figure in America has been committed by someone who could legitimately be called "right wing" ?

Probably the Left is eager to label James Earl Ray a "right winger." But afaik the politics in that situation were very murky.

Gee I guess this person would be ok with getting emails telling him how them and their family were going to die in fairly graphic detail? What an idiot and the left seems to have an abundance of them!

"I think this is why I could never be a democrat. I just can't lie to myself and others on a daily basis the way these people do.

bttt

The worst lies begin by pulling the wool over one's own eyes, or auto-flimflammery, for then one may transmit lies with an undisturbed conscience.
