‘Nice’ list of Bush-era protest photos…

…for a given value of ‘nice;’ but John Hawkins missed one.

Hawkins’ point is nonetheless well-taken; the credibility of the Democratic party is going to be fundamentally compromised until they address the fact that, from about 2003 to 2009, they were increasingly willing to let people like the above (or the ones in Hawkins’ lists) march in their rallies sans denials, disavowing, or frankly a punch in the face.  And it doesn’t matter how much the media covers for them; ordinary, decent Americans react to this sort of thing with an instinctive and absolutely justified revulsion, which made countering it a whole lot easier during the Bush administration.

And since the Left doesn’t seem to have learned its lesson

    These are the kinds of FACTS we need to use to RAM and SLAM the RATS with, day and night until we TAKE BACK OUR GOVERNMENT

    Fact) My husband is a Rabbi and what he calls the “Rainbow Coalition” of the Tea Party is, in his words, “a robust and diverse” collection of varied, studied, always passionate, always free folks from all over this country of every religion, race, creed, sex, sexual orientation and background. That’s our strength and that’s what they don’t understand about us and that’s why they won’t see us coming. Who are the Repubs/Tea Party, we are everyone.

    Fact) Moe is right that the lies, deceptions, hatred, greed, etc., of these RATS needs to be exposed to the light of day. What do you do when you find a RAT in your house? Do you talk to it and say,

    ‘Hey, I don’t mind you eating scraps of food off the floor, but do you think you could stop going to the bathroom in my kitchen”?

    Let me know how that works out for ya.

    We know what you need to do. You need to take a kitchen towel, you wrap it around your fist and you crush the RAT’S skull against the floor until his legs stop twitching.

    I’m with Moe, if you’re not with us = you are a RAT.

    It looks like he was avoiding repeats, but that particular one needs to be revisited again and again and again.

    It’s almost as if they wanted it encouraged by looking the other way. Like, maybe all their tut-tuting of the mythological frothing at the mouth wingnuts was simply projection to mask their moonbats.

    Still waiting for the media to report on some random Obama = Hitler sign. A sign like that, which is not from Iran, I mean.

    They like to pretend that they are super intellegent, aware, and urbane. Then they attack protesters (perceived as being from the right) for waving provocative placards, conveniently forgetting that their side has always been more vicious and tasteless.
    Message to the left: the camera was invented over 150 years ago. You’d better start getting used to it. You can’t say that Tea Partiers are responsible for spewing political hate speech of uprecedented nastiness when we have the proof that you are lying.
    Why does the left want to control the internet, shut down talk radio, and decide what is newsworthy for print and broadcast? Because they don’t want their gross dishonesty to be exposed.
