....Our political opponents, natch!
Remember the Oklahoma City bombing? The left were more than happy to parlay Tim McVeigh into a right wing loony. Clinton made a point (and then backed off) to connect him to talk radio. These are the same people who report on an Army Major with a Muslim name, the word "jihad" on his business cards walk in a shoot up a room full of soldiers and they trip all over themselves to omit his religion.
Well, anyway, Janet Napolitano, our erstwhile Homeland Security pro, says that "Terrorists who are US citizens or are in the country illegally and pplot against the U.S. just as big of a concern as international terrorists." The press is doing their level best to connect this statement to Joe Stack, the moron who flew a plane into an IRS building.
The connection they are trying to make is the congruity sequence: terrorists, therefore right wing, therefore teabaggers.
It's never enough for these people to disagree politcally. They insist in personalizing, in demonizing. Cheney was evil. Bush was stupid. Bush Sr. was out of touch. Reagan napped his was through the Presidency.
I'm a conservative. I've seen it so many times it's old news to me. I am craven. I am a chicken hawk. I am a homophobe.
I don't have the intelligence to vote in my own best interests.
And after all that, they complain about the incivility. Read the left wing blogs, folks. Dredge through Kos and MoveOn, and then compare it to TownHall. Good luck finding parity.
The civility will return, but only after the left wing Baby Boomers push up daisies. Not one day before.
