MEMBER DIARY

WARNING: Socialist Democrats via DailyKos Plot Online Character Assassinations of Republican Candidates

GOP/RNC CANDIDATES YOU BETTER BE LISTENING AND WATCHING!!!

This diary is chock full of screen shots however it is for a REASON, and that REASON is to make a major impact and for everyone to see for themselves first-hand what is happening here.

We all thought we had seen every dirty trick the left and progressives can ply on conservatives. However, there is a non-ending battle of sewage and filth they can try and put before us in an attempt to advance their progressive agenda. From thuggery instituted by SEIU and its minions, “offers you can’t refuse” by Obama, bribery, kick-backs and arm twisting all via “the Chicago Way.” But this latest attempted assault by ultra/left/progressive Markos Moulitsas and his DailyKos kid-squadron takes the cake.

Kos announced on October 8th they were taking on a new initiative, a HIT, in fact I call it a downright assassination of targeted Republican candidates for US House using SEO techniques with the assistance of their motley crew of assassins.

For those who don’t know what “SEO” is, it stands for Search Engine Optimization. A technique supposedly illegal per google, at least for bloggers. Red State’s Neil Stevens on his “Tech at Night” has an excellent explanation for all the “rules” of google.

Chris Bowers of Kos introduces his “master plan” here to target and get “dirt” on targeted GOP candidates:

Kos intro

Note the first paragraph:

The goal of Grassroots SEO is to get as many undecided voters as possible to read the most damaging news [emphasis mine] article about the Republican candidate for Congress in their district.

Bowers wants everyone to “sign up” and in case you try and take the sign-up page down, Kos, here is a screen shot:

Kos sign up page

Notice at the bottom left there is a “box” to check if you are an “SEO blogger.” This is where google at least tells us they will have “issues” and could get you banned. I hope GOOGLE is reading this post and takes action against this leftist plot to try and wreck havoc on Republican candidates. I went through all of the 300-some comments by Kossacks on this page and to get my point across to everyone out there what we are up against, I am posting the most salient for your reading pleasure.

Kos & Dems as weenies

Note the words “teabagger crazies” and “elections aren’t won by being a nice guy.” Typical Kossack mentality.

Kos & civility

“We can’t simply sit back and lose the Congress to them because we were trying to make some point about civility.”

kos comment on Pelosi

‘Keeping Speaker Pelosi in her chair is what counts. I fail to see how this would be even remotely embarassing. Let the other side try to match effort, if they are able.”

Kos, google bullshit

“The narcissistic wingnut kooks Google themselves constantly. [sic] So if they see their lying bullshit at the top of the Google search, it may affect his/her campaign tactic.”

However, we apparently do have the occasional “doubter” here, BRAVO!

Kos stupid comment

Yep, ZEGOTA, it is “petty and stupid.” And “yes,” we DO KNOW you are doing it….

Now after all of this, everyone is “dying” [sorry, stupid pun] to know who is on the “target list.” Wonder no more my friends. Here goes:

Kos targets #1

Kos targets #2

Kos targets #3

kos targets #4

Kos targets #5

GOP/Republicans/RNC please take note.  As we already suspected the KOSSACKS cannot follow directions. They were INSTRUCTED by Bowers, the writer of the post to EMAIL their findings to him. However, contrary to his instructions they have already POSTED a ton of links and what they call “dirt” on this site. So I suggest STRONGLY if your NAME IS ON THE LIST to get thee to your campaign staff in a hurry to enact countermeasures.

Suggestions for countermeasures:

  • Post POSITIVE news stories about the accomplishments of the candidate.
  • RedState is an excellent Conservative site for finding Conservative candidates.
  • Use twitter and Facebook and other social networking groups to promote excellent Conservative candidates.
  • Candidates should do a “press release” denouncing the outrageous and underhanded actions of Kos.

And GOOGLE: are you watching and enacting “countermeasures and punishment” as well if necessary??

    6:00am, didn’t take the first sip of coffee yet and this is what’s first-up as a headline:

    Report: Candidate in Ohio wore German SS uniform.

    TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) – A report says a Republican candidate for the U.S. House in Ohio dressed up in a German SS uniform to participate in Nazi reenactments.

    The Atlantic magazine says Rich Iott, a tea party favorite in northwest Ohio, has taken part in the reenactments for years.

    ============

    The Left – The same folks who – at best – think tea party people, Conservatives and Republicans should be force-reeducated or stripped of all rights and are working towards that goal.

    The Left – The same folks who are hell-bent on dictating every single aspect of your life and the life of your children on how to think and even what and when to eat.

    The Left – Spin is all that matters and their media is accelerating it.

    The Left – Capable of anything.

    The Left – “Nudge”.

    Think big picture…… No…… Bigger.

    What L.I.O. has up above is just scratching the surface of what’s coming from The Left.

        Like Jim Treacher said, maybe someone should go to Comicon and ask all the guys dressed as Klingons why they want to destroy the Earth.

    • ladyimpactohio

      However the events with Mr. Iott got it “off track” and I am hoping we can get back to discussing the intended issue of this diary: i.e. Kos’ “hit list” of GOP candidates using google.

      Some of the candidates have already been alerted to this “on-line attack” by Kos, however we need to stop them in their tracks before it gets any further.

      Thanks to all.

  • pamela1631

    There is something inherently corrupt morally, mentally and spiritually with a person or group – and the leaders of the group – which derives pleasure in the destruction of others in order to guarantee a certain outcome.

    They are without Honor or Strength of Character.

    As to Rich Lott and his reenactments, will anyone putting on the uniform of the opposing side be branded as espousing the beliefs of that uniform? A rational person will recognize that in most military conflicts, there were at least two opposing sides.

    • pilgrim

      On the face of it this little bit of mud slinging is the most ridiculous that I have seen so far in this silly season.

      • ladyimpactohio

        http://www.toledoblade.com/article/20101010/NEWS09/10100304/0/OPINION02

        This is the online version. The hard copy I saw at my parents’ house has even more pics than this.

        Toledo Blade is ultra-liberal and is why I quit them several years ago. I couldn’t stand their drivel any longer. They are an ardent supporter of Kaptur and had a huge 1/2 page endorsement of her a couple weeks ago. Toledo is home of many unions because of the auto and glass industry here and is extremely liberal, why Kaptur has been in office here so long.

        This even made the papers in Europe. I have a friend vacationing in France and she saw it in one of the French newspapers and emailed me.

        At this point I think we have to pick and choose our battles. Cantor denounced Iott of course because he is Jewish & pulled him from the “Young Guns” program immediately.

        I have to say that I don’t believe even St. Jude can help Iott now. This is all the more reason I feel we need to get the word out to these candidates on Kos’ list so if they feel there is anything remotely questionable in their backgrounds they can be proactive instead of reactive. This is just the kind of stuff Kos is after, and who knows. Maybe they are the ones who dredged this up.

        • SteveLA

          I don’t think playing dress up as Nazis is questionable, it’s pretty black and white for a very large segment of the population.

          Cantor is spot on with his denouncement.

          • http://slcliberty.blogivists.com randy streu

            Republicans should be ridiculing this nonsense, and making sport of any IDIOT who gives this crap any credence. Instead, we’re feeding it. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

          • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

            People who honor those who took arms against America should expect this.

          • http://slcliberty.blogivists.com randy streu

            Who’s he “honoring?”

            Guess none of the folks who dressed up as the enemy in “Band of Brothers” had better run for office either, huh?

            Or, hey, y’know when my brother was in the army, it was actually his job to don a Russian uniform and act as the enemy. Guess maybe he shouldn’t hold public office either.

            Give me a break. This is stupid, and ought to be a non-issue. Republicans ALLOWING LIBERALS to make it an issue is idiotic. But, no — we’re on the defensive because we’ve allowed liberals to control the conversation for too long. So now a Republican can’t even utter the word “African” without being accused of racism and being repudiated by his own side.

            It’s ridiculous. We ought to lead by example, rather than be cowed by the screams of politically correct, oversensitive ninnies.

            So what was all the debate about the 9/11 WTC Mosque about?

            The right of people to build a place of worship where they wish in this country? Nope
            or
            The desire to not inflict emotional pain on people needlessly by building a Mosque on sacred ground? More like it.

            The reenactment of a Nazi Army group falls into which of the above?

            This group certainly has the right to reenact as they wish, but at the same time there are thousands of holocaust survivors living in this country and veterans of WWII who faced the real thing that probably can do without the emotional reminder of the events and atrocities of the Third Reich.

            Cowed, hardly, but respectful of holocaust survivors and WWII veterans who don’t need to see the exploits of the Third Reich reenacted? I’ll vote for that and agree with what Erick Cantor has had to say about disassociation of the Republican party from this matter.

            I put my views in the posting above, but here again:

            The right of people to build a place of worship where they wish in this country? Nope
            or
            The desire to not inflict emotional pain on people needlessly by building a Mosque on sacred ground? More like it.

            I do not support the Mosque at ground zero, but I also don’t think that there are Federal powers at play, this is a local zoning and other factors issue. Frankly the NY zoning boards that allow this needless emotional pain to the families of the survivors of 9/11 should be actively campaigned against.

            Besides, looks like for once building Unions in NY city are going to keep it from being built….good for the Unions!

            Neil, Steve,

            Sorry to interrupt – Park 51 is a Rauf obfuscation. The property is at Park 45-47. Calling it Park 51, is a way to fool people into believing that this statist, Islamist propaganda center is not being built directly on Ground Zero as defined in FEMA’s post-9-11 building performance study.

            Here’s the link to the authoritative document:
            http://www.fema.gov/pdf/library/fema403_ch7.pdf

            Again, apologies for interrupting, but I refuse to give an inch on the subject.

          • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

            And if I call it Park 45 nobody will know what I mean. :)

            Point taken though.

          • SteveLA

            Uma

            No argument from me, but where’s the Federal powers come into play? 10th Amendment and all that sort of thing.

            You want to go to the money argument as a Federal issue, I’m fine with that too, long as we go after some of the Televangelist and their money trails to in the name of openness on these matters. Federal powers messing with any religion is not something that should be done without a whole lot of thinking first, which is the way most courts rule today.

          • Uma Richie

            When local people are applying local standards, I want them to have an accurate understanding of the site in question. That’s all.

          • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

            Who, precisely, is being idiotic here?

            Man up and name names.

          • http://slcliberty.blogivists.com randy streu

            I still disagree with the decision to walk away from this candidate, but I’ll withdraw my comment on it being idiotic to do so, based on the information you provide on the group he was actually part of.

            Cantor, to whom I was largely referring, clearly has the right to go with his personal feelings on this issue.

            On the other hand, I would have like to have seen him actually go to Iott and ask him about his involvement in this group, why he chose this group, and what, in his view, are the goals of the group.

            Instant repudiation is just too knee-jerk.

          • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

            I think we all sometimes forget to give each other around here the benefit of the doubt. :)

            It’s one thing to be a re-enactor, or an actor, or something.

            It’s another to specialize in re-enacting as a soldier for a genocidal regime that took arms against America.

          • IJB
          • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

            it’s one thing to be a re-enactor.

            It’s another to be completely immersed in playing JUST a Nazi soldier in a group like this.

          • http://slcliberty.blogivists.com randy streu

            Although, I agree — this group does seem more one-sided than a standard reenactment group.

            I saw the huffpo articles on Iott’s involvement in this group — after I did a search. I don’t recall seeing info on this group and Iott in the other links.

            I haven’t changed my overall opinion, but I am seeing MORE clearly where GOP members want to distance themselves.

          • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

            But on the page it does say they intend to honor the soldiers, who in their case are Waffen SS members. That is, Nazi soldiers in the private Nazi army which routinely commtted the worst war crimes, not the regular German Wehrmacht.

          • pilgrim

            Disclaimer: This page or anyone involved in its creation, or members of reenactment groups listed here, are in no way affiliated with real, radical political organizations (i.e., KKK, Aryan Nation, American Nazi Party, etc.) and do not embrace the philosophies and actions of the original NSDAP (Nazi party), and wholeheartedly condemn the atrocities which made them infamous. May the victims of this unspeakable horror rest in peace. As we portray the German combat soldier, we are only interested in recreating his daily life, furthering our understanding of what it took to be a soldier, and at the same time having fun reliving history. We honor the men (and women) who really experienced the war, and we salute their courage and loyalty to put their lives on the line in defense of their native soil, no matter what nationality or government.

            I doubt Huffpo will acknowledge this disclaimer

            Saw it, don’t care.

            They’re weirdos.

          • E Pluribus Unum

            Direct quote from Mr Iott, in the hyper-liberal Toledo Blade:

            Obviously, what the Germans did was despicable, and no re-enactor embraces the ideologies of any of the time periods, Yeah, it was horrible. But we can’t forget it; we can’t bury it. I’ve been involved in historical re-enacting for many years and have done many different roles, Union soldiers, American soldiers in World War I and World War II.

          • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens
          • E Pluribus Unum

            I have him quoted as playing many roles in many wars, and as far as I know this point is not disputed. Whether he is or is not in this Wiking group, he doesn’t *specialize* in one role.

          • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens
          • E Pluribus Unum

            You said he *specializes* in playing a Nazi. I have provided evidence suggesting rather strongly that he does NOT. If you have evidence to the contrary, get it out here. I’m not going to go look it up.

            Come on, You know how this debate thing is played.

          • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

            Here it is again:

            http://www.wiking.org/

          • E Pluribus Unum

            He’s played Union soldier, WW1 and WW2 American soldier, and this. THAT means if there’s anything he specializes in, it’s in playing a fracking soldier from history.

            We can do this all day. Or you can just walk back the *specializes* word.

          • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

            Unless he denies being a member of that group.

          • powertothepeople

            and that is fine. But you are ignoring the glaring fact that this group makes it very clear on multiple areas of their site that they do not condone the beliefs of the Nazis nor do they allow the beliefs to be espoused by any member of their group. They simply are intrigued by the groups history and brilliant military tactics and keep that part of the history alive.

            You have every reason to despise the Nazis as I do with my family history. My moms parents met in Nazi Germany and spent time in their camps. My moms mom lost both her sister and her brother to the German camps. But that still has little to do with this group and their intent to keep history alive and interact with a well respected re-enactment group.

            Their little area of history is no different that the ones who chose to learn about and portray solely the southern boys of the Civil War. Wrong side, but still history. It is also no different that the techniques of many German, Italian, and Japanese leaders of WW2 being taught in our military schools due to their brilliance. They are not being held up for their ideology, but are being held up due to their brilliant tactics during the war.

            This whole, “he plays a german” and the “group is nuts” debate is sort of absurd. Had he been a member of a nationalist group or a racist group, then we would have a legitimate issue to worry about. This whole issue is a blown out of proportions issue that should be nothing more than a lover of history who plays a part in it, and that is it.

          • E Pluribus Unum

All the secret supplications of his heart innocence won’t fix it. Me, I’d vote for him anyway, in part because I can tell thr diff between caricature/pretend and real life, and in part because I know the lefties have been playing dress-up in Red Army OD for years. Problem is, these days, just like Roadrunner and Wiley E, nobody can tell the difference between the real and the caricature.

            Kaptur was probably getting reelected without this smear, and getting Iott a win was always dicey. What bothers me is Cantor. He needs to explain if anyone who has ever acted in the role of a villain can not run as a Republican for political office. If the Republican Party has become that purist then they are screwed.

          • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

            Can you quote where he said that nobody who ever acted int he role of a villain cannot run as a Republican for political office?

          • pilgrim

            The only quotes from Cantor are this:
            “She knows that I would absolutely repudiate that and not support that,” Cantor said.

            “Well, you haven’t,” Wasserman Schultz said.

            “I’m doing that right here,” Cantor, who is Jewish, responded. “I’m doing that right here. You know good and well I don’t support anything like that.”

            I just want to know how broad or how narrow is his “THAT”

          • eburke

            insist that Debbie disavow Jerry Brown for having a staffer (even if it was his wife) who referred to Meg Whitman as a whore.

            If not, then once again, we (as in our ‘nadless leadership) allowed us to be held to a different standard than the slimes who call us slimes.

            Which makes his behavior inexcusable totally apart from what anyone’s opinion is on Iott’s hobbies.

            I’m perfectly aware of what reenactors do.

            I’m not going to bash on Lott, what’s the point, and he is the R nominee, but I’m also going to say there are things that people do in their personal lives that I disagree with. This is one of them.

            Feel free to make any sort of rationalizations and cries to “Circle the Wagons” to hold off the Kos Kids and the MSM as you may wish to make as you put it for this “nonsense”, there’s a lot of people that have issues with reenacting a Nazi army group.

            One difference between the Donks and Republicans, we hold our own accountable and Erick Cantor got it about as right as you can.

          • http://slcliberty.blogivists.com randy streu

            to anything except SOME PEOPLE’s oversensitive personal mores. This isn’t about race or anything else. It’s about reenacting history. You don’t like it, that’s fine — but to repudiate someone who does is silly.

            Hell, I’m a UofM fan — maybe I should call for the denouncement of any candidate who roots for Ohio.

          • David123

            if you didn’t have any “German” re-enactors?

          • SteveLA

            If you didn’t have any Klansmen?

            You want someone running for office that has on their list of fun things they do is reenacting the struggle for Civil rights as Bull Conner? He was a Democrat anyway, as was much of the South in those days.

            Sometimes it’s a good thing to let history rest for a while to let the memories of it fade and the rough edges get worn down some with the passage of time.

          • eburke

            But for us to throw one of our own under the bus because he’s a history buff who has re-enacted historical events numerous times is, again, ridiculous.

            If Iott had re-enacted the gassing of Jews, always played the role of an SS trooper, and his group never, ever re-enacted anything other than WWII battles and he always and only was an actor on the side of the Nazis, you *might* (and I emphasize the word ‘might’) have a point.

            But there are pictures of him in all sorts of regalia. When he dressed up as a Union soldier, are all the folks who dressed up as Confederate soldiers immediately and permanently banned from participation in public office? After all, they were fighting to defend slavery and that’s a very hurtful topic to some folks these days.

            Again, this is nothing more than some people on our side allowing the radical lib dems who are the real anti-semites and bigots to find anything and everything that anyone on the right does to somehow offend their ‘sensibilities’.

            What Eric Cantor should’ve said was “I’ll express concerns about historical re-enactments as soon as those who are taking offense at this perceived bigotry express concern over the truly anti-Semitic policies of this Administration and castigate Jerry Brown’s campaign for using the word “whore” to describe Meg Whitman. Until then, this is nothing more than blatant hypocrisy.”

          • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens
          • eburke

            The fact that he’s a history buff?

            We had a reenactment of the battle between the Roman legion and the German barbarians in the town I live in as part of a celebration of our town’s German Heritage. Should everybody who dressed up as a barbarian be banned from office?

            In fact, should our town be banished from the face of the earth because we have the audacity to be proud of our German heritage? I mean, after all, the Germans *did* start WW I and WWII and I’m sure there are people in our town who have relatives and ancestors that served in the German army. We should probably ban the lot of them from any participation in public life whatsoever.

            This is such a bunch of BS it’s beyond ridiculous. And the fact that *our* side continues to allow the libs to bash us for any and every possible slight imaginable under the tiresome meme of “well, we just have to hold our people to a higher standard” is nothing more than sanctimonious preening. Yeah, cause this is anywhere *close* to Jerry Brown or one of his staffers calling Meg Whitman a whore.

            Whatever.

            of what the Reenactment represents. There was a recent Reenactment, literally in my back yard, on the James Madison’s Montpelier estate. There would not have been any Reenactment if there weren’t people representing both sides. That is a Reenactment. Someone has to dress up as the bad guys to make it work, period.

            I was not only discouraged this morning when I heard that Cantor was going to be opposite Wasserman-Schultz, I knew it would be yet another important missed message for the Republicans, but, having seen Wasserman-Schultz on FOX before, I knew she would clobber Cantor, and, she did. Not only did he thrown the Republican under the bus, he backed up over him. Why? Because he’s Jewish? Do Jews not recognize that there are Reenactments all over the country, all of the time, and, someone has to play the bad guy for those events to work, even when it involves the Nazi atrocities? Cantor was wrong.

            More importantly, Cantor also argued, more than once, that the Dems. and the Repubs. must work together in order to pass legislation. Does that give you the creeps yet? If not, go back and relisten to the segment. Cantor was given gifts from Wasserman-Schultz to go after their lying positions, their destruction of the country with their passed legislation, and with her using the Democrat plans to “find any dirt you can on Republicans” meme. What does he do, he gets suckered in, and he bashes one of his own. In my opinion, it was a slugfest, with Wasserman-Schultz laughing at Cantor, which was clearly audible on air, and Cantor couldn’t seem to find an opening out of his hat to come back with anything credible, or fightin’ for our side. Bret was remiss to allow the talking over each other to continue. She just ran her mouth, and Cantor once again displayed his lack of debating abilities. Of course if you want big government, but, with a Republican stamp on it, he’s your guy. He made me puke with his begging that the Dems. sit at the table, and work with the Republicans to pass any legislation. No wonder he has not been on the “young guns” and the “Pledge” speaking tours to any degree. He couldn’t find his way out of a three sided box. What a give away to Wasserman-Shultz this morning.

            Cantor has no chance at all of losing his re-election. I just don’t want him in any leadership positions in the Hose.

            If Ronald Reagan was still around you might ask him if his playing the role of a real evil killer cost him much with running for political office.

        • pamela1631

          If anyone had bothered to check things out, the reenactment was for the Eastern Front campaign against the Russians.

          And contrary to popular belief, Army guys could not stand Nazis and were not allowed to be part of a political party. Plus the Waffen SS Panzer division was made up of conscripts. The old join or die kind of recruitment.

          Now are the following people to be considered Nazis because they wore a German uniform:

          Michael Caine
          Tom Cruise
          Dick Shawn
          Harrison Ford
          Peter Lorre
          William Shatner
          Leonard Nimoy
          DeForrest Kelly
          Ian Mckellan
          Kurt Jurgens
          Peter O’Toole
          Ed Harris
          Clint Eastwood
          Werner Klemperer
          and
          Ronald Reagan

          So how is doing a battle reenactment any different ?
          It’s all acting.

          Wasn’t Lott also a Union Soldier in one of the reenactments?

  • proudmarinemom

    The ardent supporters of the Democrat Party have just advertised to the world that their own candidates have no accomplishments of which they are proud, nothing on which they can run.

    They cannot stand up and point to what they have done to serve America, so they must resort to random mud-slinging at the opposition in order to get votes.

    Shout it from the rooftops, Kos. Oh, and spend lots and lots of your free time on this “project.” Stay busy. Stay classy.

  • E Pluribus Unum

    Delusional. Stupid. Evil.

  • Patricia_C

    I think the only ones seeking and reading the negative articles on GOP candidates are… the KosKiddies themselves.

    So WHAT if they want to spend (waste) their time driving up negative stories on search engines. Seems rather desperate to me… and kind of funny, that (at this late point in the game) this is all they have left….

    Put it this way… Why aren’t they using their time to drive up POSITIVE stories of their OWN candidates?… Answer: Because there AREN’T any… and THIS is why their candidates are LOSING!

    In the end, dredging up obscure stories about GOP candidates playing dress up for Nazi re-enactments will not have NEARLY the negative impact to GOP candidates as the DAILY destruction being inflicted on the lives of Americans is already having on theirs.

    I’m actually encouraged by this story. Imagine this… a voter at the booth… they have lost their job, their home… and they are being forced to participate in an expensive and already failing Government HealthCare program… and now this American voter is wondering who to choose… Conservative.. or demcrat… Hmmmmmm…????
    One wore a Nazi uniform to play a part in a war-time re-enactment… and the other either played a part in the destructive policies that CAUSED the loss of their job and their home or is actively campaigning that they voted against it all.

    Tough call… yes?

    BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

    Not.

  • fbks

    I can’t believe the re enactment thing gets argued in such detail when the left is cornered like rats and and doing all they can to destroy Republican candidates’ reputations.
    For history buffs, historical events, strategy, individual units, battles and weaponry is a big deal. The Eastern Front is fascinating and if someone dresses up as a Waffen SS or a NKVD officer, it does NOT mean they are a Nazi or Communist.
    If you have strong circumstantial or factual evidence Lott HOLDS nazi or off the edge views, of course dump support for him. If the left is creating a hysterical attack with no basis then they should be resisted every time they start their routine.
    We better be ready to stand against a lot of name calling and character assination before and after the election, because any congressman who FOLLOWS though as a conservative is going to face left wing wrath.

  • E Pluribus Unum

    That is all.

    • Doc Holliday

      think about it. The article warns us that the left it going to dig up ANYTHING on Republicans they can get and then try to use it to destroy them. Then right away, it happens, and our own party leaders disown a guy. I say the left is 1-0 now.

      Now look at the situation, they have us throwing this guy under the bus, at least some of us. They certainly have us distracted and on the defensive, which is exactly their plan.

      I don’t know the complete details on this Iott guy, and I doubt anyone else here does either. That Wiking place does look weird and over the top, but how much of this is six degrees of separation? Nazi’s are bad, yet how many conservatives have taken flack for remembering Confederate dead or just the history of their state?

      Iott aside, Republicans have a habit of defeatist cowering when someone digs up the most absurd things about another Republican. And we have no offense to fight back, we don’t even try because we are “above it”.

      My question is what does any of this have to do with small government? And that should be the Republican response to the coming onslaught of smears………………………but it won’t.

      • E Pluribus Unum

        Here’s my answer to your last paragraph.

        This has everything to do with small government. The Democrats are against it. The establishment Republicans are against it too. The only people fighting for it are conservatives.

        Iott is a conservative, fighting for small government. You might not know this, but I do. I have ties to the inside on this guy. Democrats are executing a take-down, and the Republicans are, yet again, giving in to their inner coward. Screaming that if our candidate is not perfect, OR if something damning even if false can be hung around his neck, then we shoot him.. I suppose in order to prove, yet again, that we’re “better than that”.

        So we fight this fight, even on RedState, to let a good man be heard and not shouted down. It’s an epic battle, and I will not surrender one inch of territory.

        Just like your tag line says, come and TAKE it.

        • Doc Holliday

          Your word is good enough for me, you vouch for the guy, that is all I need. I am tired of conservative/Republican navel gazing and apologizing. The left is already on to the next victim. They are trying to get the guy ahead of Feingold charged with everything including the Kennedy assassination.

        • Doc Holliday

          one of the reasons we want to reduce the power of government is because the elected leaders are full of faults, as we all are. Should it not be enough that we have to deal with our own faults? Must we suffer from the faults of big government bureaucrats?

          This is where the social cons lose me. Not all of them, but some of them. Some of them are the first to take down a less than perfect candidate. I know we are all less than perfect. The goal of limited government is to let a man rise and fall on his own merits. Why burden a free man with the foibles of over 500 politicians that spent billions to make $100,000? It makes no sense, but it still goes on.

          Of course I want good men to represent us. But a 24 hour press prying into their personal lives; makes us look silly to the world, our enemies can’t take us seriously, our friends don’t know what to think. . Sure the Brits do it too, but look what has happened to them over the last 50 years.

    Bill Flores, a candidate in the 23rd district in Texas is on this s-**t list. He is running against ons of the supposedly Blue Dog (fiscally conservative (what a joke)) Democrats, a long time incumbant, Chet Edwards.

    An article ran in the Dallas Morning News this weekend about how Bill Flores’ bankrupcy cost taxpayers “millions of dollars”. It was right up top and center on their web site.

    During a conversation today, I passed along the information on the tactics the Kosbrats are pulling.

    One bit of advice that came out of it was this, Keep out of the mud if you can. If you can’t, have a good winch to get hauled out of the mud.
    And some strong soap to clean up.

    for this very important report. I think I understand it — Google misusing its power as “gatekeeper”? I don’t know what I can do except step up the prayer and “aim” some fasting at this issue. Maybe the scheme will blow up in the Dems’ faces like so much already has.

    May this be another impetus for Congress to *do* their job, instead of punting increased power to the unelected FCC, as Neil (Tech at Night) and Seton Motley (Washington Times, linked by Neil) have said. I am getting a “tech” education here at RedState as well as a political one. Thank you all.

    Left-wing viral drones will also distort information on Wikipedia. On major political topics, wikipedia is usually the first link returned in a google search. (E.g., googling ‘Ground Zero Mosque’ lists the Wikipedia article on Park 51 as the top search result. Ditto with ‘Tea Party.’) Anyone with a wikipedia account–as in leftist drones–can edit these wikipedia articles.

    During the Rev. Wright controversy, leftists prominently placed a photo of Rev. Wright shaking Bill Clinton’s hand on Wikipedia It turned out the photo had been distributed by the Obama campaign to counter Wright’s ‘Monica Lewinsky’ dance in the pulpit. We got the Obama campaign materials removed from Wikipedia, which was the first google result for “Rev. Wright.”

    Might I also suggest that if you quote Daily Kommunist, you use the no-follow tag in your link:

    <a href=”http://www.example.com/” rel=”nofollow”>radical leftists</a>

    Otherwise, you boost Kos on google by linking to it. Redstate is a heavily linked-to website with a high google ‘page rank’, which means google gives extra weight to a Redstate link. The nofollow tag tells google you are quoting an article you think is crap; otherwise, google reads your link as a ‘vote’ for Daily Kommunist.
