Keep in mind that at least a certain portion of those who think rhetoric had a part in things don’t think it was CONSERVATIVE rhetoric.n So the efforts are failing worse than the numbers.

The left-wing hate machine has a very specific goal: to criminalize conservative speech. Their intent is to remove free speech rights in the name of public safety. In order to do this, they have to convince themselves first, and later convince enough non-aligned voters, to take it as necessary when they actually remove the rights through unconstitutional court action, executive orders, or legislation. The fact that it’s bunk is of no consequence; EVERYTHING they say is bunk, but they manage to get a lot of it ensconced in law.

This is also the goal of “hate crimes” language.

“Progressive” political activists systematically removed the rights of free people everywhere they gained power in the world throughout the 20th century. Anybody who thinks they will behave differently here because “this is America” needs to think again. There is some cultural variation, but the progressives’ goals here are the same as their goals were in Russia, Cuba, Vietnam, Albania, Romania, China, Cambodia, and wherever else the hard left has gained power.

Bad news: the liberal media is frustrated because the public knows it lies.

Americans are too sophisticated these days to fall for the left-wing media’s old propaganda techniques, which have a certain buggy whip quality to them. The old liberal media, which knows it is dying economically and influentially, likely will ramp up the hate and deceit as it fades into irrelevancy. So we have much to celebrate from this tawdry episode, but also know the dying beast will lash out as its dies. Look for the worst left-wing offenders, like MSNBC and the NYT, to start to deliberately try to have violence inflicted on people they despise like Sarah Palin.

She pulled Rebecca Mansour off the Twitter line and went completely dark. I suspected that she knew that the Left couldn’t help themselves and that this would play itself out and that a backlash would begin to develop. This took a boatload of nerve on her part, but it was well played.

When the LibProgs lose a Tory Wet like David Brooks, you know that the propaganda campaign is starting to come off the rails.

For our part, conservatives need to remember that this is what the MSM does to conservatives who are prominent and are rivals to the Ruling Party. We must never forget that the Left and their Outriders in the MSM used their institutions to try and destroy their opponents in the wake of a heinous mass murder.

Nothing is beneath these people. Nothing.

Adding a couple of thoughts to plumbbob’s post here. More or less in order, the governments which were “successfully” captured by communist/marxist/socialist/progressive parties, one probably has to begin with Lenin followed by Mussolini, Hitler, and then a wide variety of lesser lights. Don’t forget that Hitler was elected as the leader of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. They were “right wing” only in comparison to Lenin/Stalin, and the NSDAP was friends with the Communists in Germany and the Soviets up until 1940. The first Ministries with Nazi bosses in 1932/33 were the police [Interior], army [War] and Post [post office, telephones, telegraph, and radio]. They then bullied the media to following their line.

I know many younger 20 somethings that have similar interests. Being that my son is 22 years old and has been following the anarchist movement for some time and is also a leaner towards the 9/11 truthers, I know something about how these people think. And most of these people are non-violent war haters.

Also, there is some indication that the shooter believed in the 2012 end of the universe conspiracy and probably also had questions about Building 7.
First, off what are the chances that Jared Loughner listened to Rush Limbaugh. Probably close to zero. Maybe George Noory and Coast to Coast radio, but not Glenn Beck or Rush.

Second, what are the chances that Loughner visited Sarah Palin’s Facebook page to see the crosshair map. Again, probably none, as he may not even have known who Sarah Palin is. Would he have frequented TED.com. Probably a good chance. But I haven’t heard anyone from MSNBC blaming TED.com or George Noory for the shooter’s bizarre notions relating to mind control.

I don’t think the left wing lovers of central government planning understand the anarchist movement at all. The right wing doesn’t believe in no government. The anarchists believe in no government. The right wing believes in limited government. The anarchists believe that society can exist without government. The left wing talking heads get this wrong or they put the anarchists in the same boat as the right wing. But the anarchists would start barfing and retching in the same boat with the right wing as they dislike Rush Limbaugh even more than Sheriff Dupnick.

Probably be Dems 100%, Repubs 0%, Bernie Sanders aligning with the Dems.

As Erik once suggested doing to idiotic state legislators, all the employees of the leftwing hate machine should be taken outside and beaten to a bloody pulp.

try and force the tea party and conservatives to tone down their objections to the direction Obama is trying to take our country. We must maintain our voice.

RS, NB, BIG sites and all others should ban together and do an all out boycott of the “news media”. They should actually be called propaganda media.

Democratic Party is built on hate…heck, they even teach/preach HATE in their churches, e.g. Rev Wright and the racist TUCC group. Want to see real hate and racism, just watch the audience’s reactions in one of Wright’s videos…

They were interviewed last night. They were being baited by the pimp media whores but they didn’t fall in the trap like the slimeball sheriff did. The sheriff is being pimped like a good little ho in the media. The media is just itching to come out of their sheeps clothes and spout off their manifesto but they let dumb people like the sheriff do their propaganda for them.

I bet he is the most interviewed person from this tragedy and he wasn’t even there! Think about it. Gee, wonder why? Because he is saying what the left wing media wants so badly to say.

You know you’re dealing with dangerous nuts when something like this can be ignored. Given his reading preferences he’s to the Left. These savages, I include the media & many Democrats, want major crackdowns, restrictions, punitive actions taken. Possibly open violence, they just want somebody else to do their dirty work. I mean, could you imagine little Kos on top of the barricades ?

George Will has done the great service of naming this attempt for what it is: “McCarthyism of the left –

devoid of intellectual content, unsupported by data – is a mental tic, not an idea but a tactic for avoiding engagement with ideas.”

Burn Baby Burn….

Other examples of “hate speech” that killed other people.

BTW, have you heard that Jane Fonda thinks Fox News causes violence?

(cough, cough)

The democrats will be using this incident to do the following:

1) Regulate gun ownership
2) Regulate “hate” speech – political discussion will be monitored.
3) The radio through the FCC will stop further political talk

this unless we are vigilant.

And follow the left as their lord and master. Mind control maybe?

believe that 9/11 was an inside job, that Bush “stole” the election in 2000, that Elvis is still alive, and that there are black helicopters watching our every move.

But it’s the hate speech of the left this guy listened to…

The whole 9/11 trutherism was spawned not just from conspiracy theory people but from the left using it to pound on Bush for his “illegal wars” etc to either score political points or undermine the war effort of our own troops (or both the second being treasonous).

The rhetoric of the left is chock full of literal references to violence and revolution etc against the “establishment” and those “evil rightwingers” etc and ti the ends justifying any means. If we held them accountable to many of their hate filled speeches they could be held liable under various laws about sedition/treason etc but they always claim free speech for their hate speech.

The irony is that the left has helped to setup so many to be fringe via their own rhetoric (and those buying into it) and when the left fails to satisfy the fringe the fringe may take action that includes going after some of the left for whatever reason.

It’s a genie that the dems have created through decades of hateful rhetoric and no new laws curtailing free speech will fix it, only inflame them more, as they show their true nature to the base that once considered them bastions of being correct/infallible. It reminds me of the man who would be a god king when his new subjects see him bleed from a cut. Not a good thing for the infallible to be seen as otherwise.

Even a majority of Democrats don’t blame the rhetoric? Good. Maybe those Democrats will see the truth of the far-Left and what they’re in cahoots with.
