PAUL, PAUL, HOW WRONG YOU ARE

It's just so like the liberal talking heads to try to pin us to some wacked-out neonazi going on a killing rampage at the Holocaust museum. And it's not like they stop there, as explicitly demonstrated by Paul Krugman this morning:

Back in April, there was a huge fuss over an internal report by the Department of Homeland Security warning that current conditions resemble those in the early 1990s — a time marked by an upsurge of right-wing extremism that culminated in the Oklahoma City bombing.

Conservatives were outraged. The chairman of the Republican National Committee denounced the report as an attempt to “segment out conservatives in this country who have a different philosophy or view from this administration” and label them as terrorists.

But with the murder of Dr. George Tiller by an anti-abortion fanatic, closely followed by a shooting by a white supremacist at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the analysis looks prescient.


Paul's beginning to rev the engine of rhetoric, and I'm ready now for him to try to connect these two dots. Are you?

There is, however, one important thing that the D.H.S. report didn’t say: Today, as in the early years of the Clinton administration but to an even greater extent, right-wing extremism is being systematically fed by the conservative media and political establishment.

Now, for the most part, the likes of Fox News and the R.N.C. haven’t directly incited violence, despite Bill O’Reilly’s declarations that “some” called Dr. Tiller “Tiller the Baby Killer,” that he had “blood on his hands,” and that he was a “guy operating a death mill.” But they have gone out of their way to provide a platform for conspiracy theories and apocalyptic rhetoric, just as they did the last time a Democrat held the White House.


Gasp! Shock and awe! Good Lord, are we conservatives raving lunatics or what?!
Really, Paul, get a grip. I don't think it was even a year ago that the buffoons in liberal society were taking the same kind of shots, though I dare say in far worse taste, than the few opinioneers we have.

Sandra Bernhard, for instance, said "The real terrorist threats are George W. Bush and his band of brown-shirted thugs."
Danny Glover called Bush a "racist."
There was even a movie gleefully imagining the assassination of President Bush.

And Paul's dismayed that people actually vent their opinions? I repeat, Paul, GET. A. GRIP. That racist monster who shot the security guard in DC? He was an alleged 911 truther. He was a holocaust denier. I'd like for Paul to name names.. Mr. Krugman, name ONE of those people you blast in the article who denies the holocaust. Name JUST ONE who shows antipathy for Jews and the state of Israel... because you know as well as the rest of us that liberals have been alone (and I find this highly ironic because a lot of liberals are Jewish themselves) in coddling anti-Semitic rhetoric and policies.
See, just calling people Fascist doesn't make them so.... word games won't work with the American people for long, Mr. Krugman. Neither will you and your cohorts' attempts to throttle free speech for the sake of a few nutjobs.. and your use of this tragedy for shameless political gain. It's abhorrent, ghoulish, and despicable.
