This is what mob rule looks like
I’ve noted the irony of the unhinged Left moaning about the “insane rage” of the Right many, many, many, many, many times.
Allahpundit reports tonight that the DNC is now decrying “mob rule.” Lefty bloggers are comparing grass-roots conservatives to Holocaust deniers and waving around the moral equivalence card to smear peaceful Tea Party activists as dangers to democracy and civility (check that link and you’ll get a chuckle out of Media Matters pointing to my archive exposing anti-war fraudsters, Code Pink thieves and home stalkers, and rock-throwing moonbats as some sort of proof that supporting the law-abiding Tea Party movement is hypocritical).
Please.
This is what mob rule looks like:
Left-wing mob shuts down speech at Columbia University…
Left-wing mob shuts down speech at UNC-Chapel Hill…
Left-wing mob blocks military shipments in Olympia, WA…
Left-wing mob illegally trespasses and breaks into a home in Baltimore in the name of “social justice”…
Left-wing mob chases Christian evangelists out of San Francisco’s Castro district:
Left-wing mob stomps on elderly Prop. 8 supporter’s cross:
There is a world of difference between these acts of left-wing vigilantism and the civic participation of vocal taxpayers peacefully, but forcefully, challenging their representatives in public forums.
Smear FAIL.

That whole First Amendment thing… isn’t there an implied right for the left do deny freedom of speech to anyone they don’t like?
Epic fail…
Yes, its contained in the same penumbra that makes abortion and physician-assisted-suicide “rights.” Wait until you find out about the “right” to car insurance — especially for illegals.
I thought townhall meetings were pretty much open invites to the public. I guess under the new rules, if you disagree=unruly mob…
Sad state of affairs.
Yea, but don’t I have the right to kick their commie backsides if they infringe on my right to free speech? I think so.
Great!!!
I was hoping you would do this comparison.
Now to send this link to EVERYONE.
Does alinsky/obama have actual rules like they’re using here?
Blame the other side with what community (acorn & seiu) organizers actually do? BHO seems to use this alinsky/ayers option often.
Speaking of Ayers, did you hear Holder today?
Prisons don’t really need to be used for criminals…right out of wm ayers books.
The sad thing is, most educated libs know such complaints about town halls are crap.
It’s always party first with these d-bags.
Those lib dopes took it directly from BHO’s “bible”; Saul Alinsky’s rules for radicals. Funny how they react when the tables are turned.
Hey lefties, can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!
Crybabies.
Some talk show guys are advocating quiet and peaceful encounters at the various townhall meetings.
That way the msm and the Dems can’t make us out as a bunch of shouting and unruly whinners.
Screw ‘em.
I say then be respectful as we shout and holler.
Screw the msm since they will never cast us in a good light anyway.
Booing an agenda you disagree with is now considered “mob rule?”
What do Libs call fan reaction when the Red Sox travel to Yankee Stadium, or vice-versa at Fenway…a civil war?
Per Saul Alinsky’s Rules;
Isolate your target …………
RIDICULE…….
I cannot remember who said that the Second Amendment is there to ensure that you can keep your First Amendment rights.
I just wonder what the left even has to offer to this discussion besides silly claims of ‘manufactured outrage’?
Clearly, the only people that actually care about this health care grab are the handfull of true socialists and the currently insured. I suspect the ‘working people’ actually outnumber the socialists 10 to 1. Similar to the ratio’s in the crowds showing up to the townhall events. The MSM will NOT report this, they will instead pretend that there is some sort of ‘balanced’ numbers of protesters.
Most of the ‘normal’ Obama supporters are covered by their union insurance deals or one of the various ‘free’ programs already in place. They just dont have a reason to even show up. Unless they are paid to that is!
Everyone commenting on this site, and everyone reading, ought to forward this post to their “Independent”, “Blue Dog” democrat, and “Non-Party” voting friends to demonstrate the lunacy – the committed lunacy – of the left in this country!
GET RILED UP – AND SEND IT!
These people have no clue, no idea what they are really doing, do they? All they are doing is making it easier for the USA to become what it will become very shortly: an irrelevant, third-world country in which the left is in total control, and the cpnservative right are either systematicallty run out, killed off, persecuted into silence, or jailed. This is exactly what happened in Russia, Red China, Cuba, VietNam, Nicaragua, and every other places where the socialistic left gained primacy and control. Well, in the USA, they control 2.5 of the 3 branches of power and government. You do the math…..
With Obama as President, my continuing prayer has been this: God help us!!!
In the town hall meeting instances the crowd is booing the congresscritter for a few seconds when they say something really stupid. They may also cheer when a citizen says something that they agree with.
With the Libs above they are forcefully shutting down the event by storming the stage.
At no time have the town hall protesters shut down a event by coming any near close.
Apparently, anger and outrage belong to the left ONLY. Free speech for the conservative is Hate Speech.
Glad that’s settled.
How dare these right wing extremists disagree with the chosen one. Your Washington masters know what’s best for you. Now go home and be quiet.
Very well done, Michelle!
If the socialists don’t stop ignoring the Constitution and keep trying to enslave us I’ll exercise my 2nd amendment rights to support the exercise of my states 10th amendment rights.
Well now, I think I need to report you to Flag@whitehouse.gov.
This should be simple enough for them to understand what a real mob looks like.
WE NEED TO FORCE THEM TO LISTEN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
I posted that Glenn Beck/Kimberly Guilfoyle video on the C4C government grab website on my FB page this a.m. You would not believe the vitriol from my own family! People who normally love me and respect me were actually calling me names! It was a visceral response to someone (me) posting a video on FB. So what? Disagree? OK. Name-calling? WTH? That has never..I repeat NEVER..happened in my family before. Unbelievable. Yeah…we’re the hate-mongers, alright. Not the left.
Delete them from FB.
Vikisoup: It would not surprise me that your experience has happened (and will happen) to many conservatives across the nation.
I think in a few years we all may know who are “true” friends and family are and discover those who aren’t. May my prediction be erroneous.
Vickisoup-
Sorry to hear what happened to you from your family, and know that some of us here have heard the same things over the years BFB (before face book).
The bigger concern is that with companies routinely checking out various social networking sites, don’t be too suprised if any of us get a call from HR and given a gift certificate from Victoria’s Secret to get a “pink slip”
Exhibit A: DHS bulletin equating conservatives with terrorists.

Thanks for posting these comparisons, Michelle. Makes it easy to disseminate.
If anything, this smear campaign has made me even MORE determined to let my voice be heard. And I’m not alone. This tone deaf White House is about to learn another lesson from real Americans.
Please tell me you don’t imagine our troops would be with it. Some perhaps, but…this looks interesting: http://oathkeepers.org/oath/ I like the looks of this very much.
Ditto. Absolutely.
I think it is great that our elected officials have a fear of their constituents. That is the only way that our republic can survive.
Lets scare the crap out of them every chance we get. Our representatives need to cow-row to the public, not to special interests and party leaders.
Mob rule works. Let’s use it before we lose our country. All is fair in love and war.
I base my views on my personal experience, reason and common sense. http://garyganu.blogspot.com
Obama the Thug and his criminal infested administration is beginning to look and sounds like a tyrant.
I have been reading comments over at DU. LOL! They are wondering why the police are not arresting the, as they put it “Disrupters” and “enemies of free speech”. Their ability to completly forget everything that occurred before the election of Obama for years is AMAZING.
Last week there was a video making the rounds of a politician being booed and shuted at during a public meeting. I saw the video many times and it was always explained as constituants being fed up. I swear to god I saw the same video used on MSNBC and they spun it by playing it and focusing on one birther in the crowd and making it seem as if that was the reason for the booing. I was stunned.
The Obama-democrat monkies’ motto:
“See No Right. Hear No Right. Speak A Whole Lot Of Left”
The bad news is the leftists know a few violent types will do them. It’s like the days of old, when the Democrat’s terror wing the KKK, used to lynch their white opponent to scare the rest away.
This is just a classic case of transference. The left is so guilty of these tactics and they know that these tea parties are just normal citizens, but they will falsely accuse these patriots to get them off balance. The tactic is to get us to argue that we are not a mob so we stop attacking them. It is time to just steam roll over these community organizing thugs. We pay the taxes; we own the country and the elected officials will listen to us or they can resign! We said no for amnesty, no for TARP, no for cap and trade and now no for healthcare. Just say no to them as well.
Yep, when either side does it, mob rule and disorderly conduct, it is wrong.
BWAHAHAHA …
Sure thing leftie … I’ll remember that when the leftwing mob of ACORN members is taking the census.
Tea Parties are NOT a “mob”. They are legitimate protest!!!
Funny thing-I don’t recall you condemming the NBPP or KBPOTUS Justice Department for ignoring the guilty verdicts?
BTW-There is no moral or physical equalivance with the thugs on the left and the Tea Party Movement who demonstrate peacefully.
When members of the Tea Party Movement start engaging in criminal behavior like ACORN, the NBPP, and etc then there will be PATRIOTS speaking up against them quickly and loudly.
The irony that never ceases to escape me is that same group that used the KKK to oppress blacks is now the same group using the NBPP to oppress non-blacks/black conservatives.
Sadly the behavior’s the same, the only thing that changed were the robes & burning crosses to combat fatigues & night sticks.

Yes, bad behavior is bad behavior, no matter who does it.
Nicely side-stepped. You should run for office!
I told a lib acquaintence the other day, “you have the right to free speech, but as your arguments play out, you may want to invoke another right of yours: the right to STFU!”
Bad things happen when good people do nothing.
Absolutely blew my mind when I saw the DNC ad. Doesn’t everyone remember Code Pink?
Oh yeah, I forgot. The majority of wacko voters also thought McCain said some of the outrageous things the Cupcake Meister said, thought the Republicans ruled the house and senate………
What? You want me to be reported to the White House?
I don’t think you get it. This post demonstrates the hipocracy of the Left calling opponents of their socialist leader’s agenda as something that it is not.
Please search and find where any Right-leaning group has show such disrespect as these videos portray.
Since you think both sides engage in the same behavior, then it shouldn’t be too hard.
Z never does get it. Bad wiring or something…
Does the left not see the difference between an exchange of opinions (open townhall meetings) and someone giving a speech that some have paid to attend?
Nevermind. I really don’t think that ‘seeing’ and ‘differences’ are their forte.
This is what an angry mob looks like. I’d send this to Michelle for inspiration if I could
Our “mobs” wouldn’t be so danged unruly if our representatives were actually LISTENING to us! You tend to get more cheesed off when you know you’re being ignored.
One of the requirements of being a leftist: A complete and utter lack of self-awareness.
This reveals just how disconnected they are to the majority of Americans that they believe they can persuade us that our Tea Party “picnics” are a threat to America. Unlike ACORN, LaRaza, ANSWER and the other professional agitators, we don’t need image control. We ARE the audience and we have taken over the stage. It is, after all, OUR stage and we want it back.
its a disease….liberalism.
I HAVEN’T SEEN A SINGLE SPEAKER CHASED AROUND THE STAGE BY A PIE WIELDING THUG, ALA ANN COULTER’S SPEECH. BUT ASKING MEAN SPIRITED NON PARTYLINE QUESTIONS AND EXPECTING ANSWERS IS MOB RULE. YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN YET IF THESE JERKS DON’T START LISTENING TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS. SEEMS LIKE THE KING OF ENGLAND WAS ADDRESSED BY HIS CONSTITUENTS AND HE TOO CALLED THEM A MOB AND DISMISSED THEIR CONCERNS AS RUBBISH. HMMMMM.
Sounds like the British House of Commons would be downright frightening for American liberals.
Remember how
sophisticatedboorish residents of the Upper West Side reacted to McCain supporters who dared infiltrate their neighborhood for a peaceful rally?People, this is war. I hate to say it. I’m a non-violent “chicken” at heart. But what are we going to do when our homes, businesses, livelihood, and our LIVES are increasingly threatened by these “thugs” who slavishly follow their Chief Community Organizer?
Obama’s “security brigade” suggestions, his haughty reminders that “we won,” his appointment of unelected, unaccountable “czars” for every issue and policy change ever mentioned in a press release, his disdain for the democratic traditions of this country (all the while praising those of, for instance, the Muslim world)…
All of this spells a culmination of the “culture war,” and the realization that it may turn from “cold” to “hot” very soon.
Time to read the words of Thomas Jefferson concerning “the blood of patriots and tyrants,” I think. And I say so only with the utmost trepidation.
Just about every conservative speaker that has been able to speak at a college campus is screamed at. Just thought about Mr. Tancredo who was threatened by some liberal screaming about Rove & Cheney a few months back. Liberals are the ultimate hypocrites!!
That’s not the half of it. I’ll try to summarize one voter’s experience here in the Bog State:
a)Voter called congressman’s office to find out about townhall meeting; voter was hung-up on.
b)Voter found out via word-of-mouth (from another voter who had called same congressional office expressing support for Obama-care and was immediately told about townhall meeting).
c)Voter showed up with another family member and found the meeting was standing-room only – and there was no indication that anybody had been bused in (unless you count public transportation as ‘busing’)
d)Congressman’s aids told crowd they would not be taking live questions; index cards were passed out for voters to write their questions on.
e)All the questions that were read were in support of Obama-care – the crowd knew that wasn’t representative of the questions they’d submitted, so…
f)…the crowd started calling out their questions and…
g)…a couple of people with cameras tried filming anyone who was trying to ask a question, prompting one person to tell them that they wouldn’t be intimidated (finally the security people told the people with the camera to back off).
In short, when asked the voter estimated that more than ninety-percent of those in attendance were opposed to this health-care bill, while the organizers chose to readonly questions that supported it.
Is it any wonder that people are getting upset?
What??? NO LGM DENIAL?
What??? NO LGM DENIAL?
I want my money back!
Wait…
nevermind…LOL
The sad thing is that a conservative college student is just as welcomed at the average liberal campus as a pig would be at a kosher wedding.
I cannot recall the number of times that I have profs or classmates make the most assine comments berating anything pro-America and direct their most vitrolic bile towards the one or two conservatives in a classroom.
Fortunately, My TI-84 didn’t die trying to figure it out, but it died for good trying to figure lgm’s assine BDS remarks.
All I can say GRADUATION is 10 days away and I won’t donate anything for the alumi association’s student scholarship funds.
GSP
One of Alinksy’s tactics was to “make the opposition live by its own rules”.
IOW the LEFT can set any gawdam rules they want, but conservatives are to be brought to heel by invoking politeness etc — the host of virtues we live by, while they don’t.
I say raise hell. Because at no point will the left give us permission to defend ourselves.
AGEISM IS THE NEW RACISM
SUE EM’
Yo, Gunslinger – I hear that from all my conservative friends who are completing their education (especially those who are doing it later in life, so they know BS when they hear it). Congratulations on achieving your academic goal anyway – you should be proud!
