The progressive “climate of hate:” An illustrated primer, 2000-2010
The Tucson massacre ghouls who are now trying to criminalize conservatism have forced our hand.
They need to be reminded. You need to be reminded.
Confront them. Don’t be cowed into silence.
And don’t let the media whitewash the sins of the hypocritical Left in their naked attempt to suppress the law-abiding, constitutionally-protected, peaceful, vigorous political speech of the Right.
They want to play tu quo que in the middle of a national tragedy? They asked for it. They got it.

I. PALIN HATE
Flashback — pointing a fake gun at the head of a Sarah Palin likeness sitting next to a cardboard cutout of her daughter in a museum display:
Getty has since yanked the photo, but as one commenter who saw the photo at Getty’s site before it was yanked noted: “To see that image presented as if it were completely normal and purchasable was shocking.”
Flashback — trendy “ABORT Sarah Palin” stickers:
Flashback — Palin-hating artwork designating her an “M.I.L.P.” (Mother I’d Like to Punch). Hat tip: Edge of Forever:

Flashback — the Democratic Underground indulging in name-calling the MSM ignores:
Reader Monica M. sent me a link to the Democratic Underground’s latest thread for commenters to come up with nicknames and posters to slime GOP Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin — and then to “spread [them] all over the ‘net.” There are now nearly 100 filthy, hate-filled responses and counting. Among the “nicer” entries: “Cruella,” “Gidget,” “Governor Jesus Camp,” “VPILF,” “Fertilla the Huntress,” “Iditabroad,” and “KILLER PYSCHO FUNDIE BITCH FROM HELL!!”
…Peer with me further into the liberal sinkhole again and behold P.D.S. in full bloom. Note that this site is raising money for Barack Obama and that an ad for their fundraiser appears at the top of the thread. Is Obama going to accept their cash? Know your enemy:

Flashback — Remember This? Liberal Terror Attack on 2008 GOP Convention Thwarted
Flashback — The insane rage of the same-sex marriage mob
Before election day, national media hand-wringers forged a wildly popular narrative: The Right was, in the words of New York Times’ columnist Paul Krugman, gripped by “insane rage.” Outbreaks of incivility (some real, but mostly imagined) were proof positive of the extremist takeover of the Republican Party. The cluck-cluckers and tut-tutters shook in fear.
But when the GOP took a beating on Nov. 4, no mass protests ensued. No nationwide boycotts erupted. Conservatives took their lumps and began the peaceful post-defeat process of self-flagellation, self-analysis, and self-autopsy. In fact, there’s only one angry mob gripped by “insane rage” in the wake of campaign 2008: The mob of left-wing, same-sex marriage activists incensed at their defeat in California. Voters there approved a traditional marriage initiative, Proposition 8, by 52-48.
Instead of introspection and self-criticism, however, the sore losers who opposed Prop. 8 have responded with threats, fists, and blacklists.
That’s right. Activists have published an “Anti-Gay Black List” of Prop. 8 donors on the Internet. If the tables had been turned and Prop. 8 proponents created such an enemies’ list, everyone in Hollywood would be screaming “McCarthyism” faster than you can count to eight. A Los Angeles restaurant whose manager made a small donation to the Prop. 8 campaign has been besieged nightly by hordes of protesters who have disrupted the business, intimidated patrons, and brought employees there to tears. In fear for their jobs and their lives, workers at El Coyote Mexican Café pooled together $500 to pay off the bullies.
Scott Eckern, a beleaguered artistic director at the California Musical Theatre, was forced to resign over his $1,000 donation to the Prop. 8 campaign. The director of the Los Angeles Film Festival, Rich Raddon, is next on the chopping block after the anti-Prop. 8 mob discovered that he had also contributed to the Yes on 8 campaign. Calls have been pouring in for his firing.
Over the past two weeks, anti-Prop. 8 organizers have targeted Mormon, Catholic, and evangelical churches. Sentiments like this one, found on the anti-Prop.8 website “JoeMyGod,” are common across the left-wing blogosphere: “Burn their f—ing churches to the ground, and then tax the charred timbers.” Thousands of gay-rights demonstrators stood in front of the Mormon temple in Los Angeles shouting “Mormon scum.” The Mormon headquarters in Salt Lake City received threatening letters containing an unidentified powder. Religious-bashing protesters filled with hate decried the “hate” at Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church in Orange County, Calif. Vandals defaced the Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills, Calif., because church members had collected Prop. 8 petitions. One worshiper’s car was keyed with the slogans “Gay sex is love” and “SEX;” another car’s antenna and windshield wipers were broken.

V. LEFT-WING MOB HATE — campus, anti-war radicals, ACORN, eco-extremists & unions
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 SEIU/NPA mob descends on D.C. bank exec’s home, harasses son:
Flashback — March 2009 – The rule of the mob:
Animal rights’ terrorists have firebombed researchers’ homes and Molotov cocktail-bombed their cars and been convicted of inciting threats, harassment, and vandalism against employees of a private company engaged in animal research.
Environmental terrorists have set developments on fire.
Self-proclaimed “bank terrorist” Bruce Marks, who I reported on last March, has been threatening bank employees in their homes and harassing their children for years:
IT MAY SEEM LIKE AN UNUSUAL CHOICE, given that Marks is a controversial character who once infamously called himself a “bank terrorist.” But this is no ordinary time, and it seems uniquely suited to Marks’s curious blend of in-your-face activism, customer-focused service, Machiavellian angling, and social-justice passion.
Over the years, as part of his permanent campaign to browbeat banks into giving fair loans to low- and moderate-income people, Marks and his yellow-T-shirted followers have swarmed shareholders’ meetings with enough force to shut them down. They have picketed outside the schools attended by the children of bank CEOs, pressing the youngsters in signs and chants to answer for the actions of their daddies. And they even once distributed scandal sheets to every house in one CEO’s neighborhood, detailing the affair he was allegedly having with a subordinate. In time, that CEO, like most of the others that NACA targeted, sat down with Marks and signed a deal.
To those who found his tactics an outrageous invasion of bank executives’ personal lives, Marks refused to acknowledge any line between home and work. “What you do is who you are,” he says. “It’s all personal.”
And last weekend, of course, the ACORN mob chartered a bus — with twice as many outrage-stoking MSM photographers in tow — to menace AIG executives in their homes.

Flashback — November 2009…Far Left’s ANSWER goons attack foes of illegal immigration
The slogan on the back of a protesting Puerto Rican singer from the band Calle 13 says “Luz verde para invadir Arizona.” Translation: “Green light to invade Arizona:”
“Smash the state”…
Flashback — The May Day angry mob you won’t see…
Escalating violence in the name of mass illegal alien amnesty…
They came, they saw, they threatened or committed violence in the name of open borders and workers’ rights. But alas, Frank Rich and Paul Krugman’s columns decrying the insane rage and hate of the May Day angry mob got lost in the mail.
In Santa Cruz, they carried torches and vandalized at least 18 businesses:
Downtown business owners spent Sunday repairing shattered windows and doors after a May Day rally Saturday night turned into a riot with approximately 250 people marching along Pacific Avenue, some carrying makeshift torches, throwing large rocks and paint bombs, and spray-painting walls with graffiti.
At least 18 businesses suffered damage during the rally in honor of international workers that began at 9 p.m. and escalated into mayhem around 10:30 p.m., police said. Investigators estimated damage at $100,000, though some business owners said it could be more. No injuries were reported.
On Sunday, sea green-colored glass littered sidewalks where windows and glass doors had been smashed. Maintenance workers, many getting called in the middle of the night, boarded up windows with plywood until new sheets of glass could be installed.
The vandalized businesses included Urban Outfitters, Peet’s Coffee, Noah’s Bagels, Jamba Juice, Velvet Underground and Dell Williams Jewelers. The unoccupied Rittenhouse building also was damaged. A police car was vandalized with rocks and paint, department spokesman Zach Friend said.
In San Francisco, anti-illegal immigration activists were attacked by the May Day marchers:
LISA AMIN GULEZIAN, REPORTER: Allan, for the most part the event was peaceful, but just about an hour ago, three people were attacked and two others were arrested. The people who were assaulted were part of the Minutemen demonstration in favor of Arizona’s new immigration law.
They said a large group of immigrants’ rights supporters followed them to the BART station on Market Street and started punching and kicking them, and calling them names.
PARKER WILSON, BAY AREA ANARCHIST: They said we were racists, and that we were against them, and against their town, and against San Francisco, and what they were saying. They said we needed to get out and they called us racists, and that we need to go home. And then they just attacked my friends and me.
Flashback — The American flag comes second…
VII. ANTI-MILITARY HATE
January 20, 2005. At Seattle Central Community College, Army recruiter Sgt. Jeff Due and his colleague, Sgt. 1st Class Douglas Washington were surrounded by an angry mob of 500 anti-war students. The recruiters’ table was destroyed; their handouts torn apart. The protesters threw water bottles and newspapers at the soldiers, shouted profanities, and wielded their fists. The far Left Students Against War had been agitating to kick the recruiters off campus. The college administration refused to punish the mobsters.
Jan. 31, 2005. A little more than a week after the Seattle ambush, a shockingly fair and rare report from the NYT disclosed that recruiters in Manhattan reported that a door to their office had been beaten in. Anarchist symbols were scrawled in red paint on the building. On the same day, NY police collared a young Manhattan College junior and charged him with throwing a burning rag into an Army recruiting station and ruining the door locks with super glue. The radical student “was caught carrying a handwritten note declaring that a ‘wave of violence’ would occur throughout the Northeast on January 31, aimed at the ‘military industrial complex’ in response to American military actions.’”
Feb. 1, 2005. At a South Toledo, Ohio recruitment center, unhinged protesters hurled manure all over the building. They broke windows and sprayed vulgar grafitti — “War is Shit” — on office property. An e-mail sent to local TV station WTOL-TV by a group calling itself, yes, “War is Shit,” claimed responsibility for the property destruction. The crapweasels were never caught. WTOL reported:
“If they don’t like this country that much they should do it the right way by changing with votes. Shouldn’t do it with actions like that,” said Steve Klostermeier, a bystander. Mike Gibson agreed, saying, “I think it’s terrible. I think they’re blaming the people who fought to give them the right to do stuff like that. They should have the courage to stand up and say it rather than doing stuff like that.”
Mid-Feb. 2005. 20-year-old anti-war goon Brendan Walsh is sentenced to five years in federal prison for hurling a Molotov cocktail through the window of a Vestal, NY military recruitment office in 2003. Celebrated as a hero to the anti-war/anarchist movement, he pleaded guilty to charges of attempting to damage or destroy a building by arson and was expected to be released to a halfway house last month.
…April 2006. The infamous UC Santa Cruz ambush on military recruiters takes place. The thugs gloated about throwing a rock at the recruiters’ SUV. Recruiters, who had been similarly driven off campus the previous year, reported slashed tires. One employee at the career center was injured in the melee. Photos here. The capitulationist campus administration had known in advance about the ambush plans and did nothing. Instead of condemning the speech-stifling lawlessness of the anti-war mob, unhinged sympathizers attacked me for publishing the public contact information of the thugs’ propaganda officers and also outrageoulsy blamed me for the subsequent suicide of the troubled UC Santa Cruz president, Denice Denton. They continue to lie about what happened.
Just a few weeks later, more anti-recruitment attacks break out. A reader alerted me to this vandalism at UNC Chapel-Hill and sent photos taken by her son, an ROTC cadet on campus:
Then, in Minnesota, via the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
S-T caption: Three people were apprehended this afternoon by police after pouring paint on an Army recruiting station near the University of Minnesota during an antiwar demonstration.…In Maryland, anti-recruiter vandals smashed a Rockville Air Force recruitment center:
In an attempt to discover how a bunch of murdering cowards like the US Air Force enjoy finding themselves on the other end of some flying projectiles for a change, at around 3:00 AM this morning an autonomous cell of the Red & Anarchist Action Network (RAAN) used bricks and other common household items to smash the shit out of the Air Force recruiting center in Rockville, Maryland. Do we even need to explain the motivation for our actions? A shout out to our comrades from the Borf: Revolution or Bust Faction (BORFROBF), who late last year gave a similar treatment to the military recruitment center in Silver Spring. Consider this a modest response to your “dare to those here in the heart of the imperial beast to step it up”. In suburbs so hollow, may the echo of our actions be long and loud! Big ups to all those out there who claim RAAN. Fuck them haters who don’t realize we are but a few of the millions of ant’s bites which can topple this elephant once and for all. No war but class war, communism or bust! IT’S A DO OR DIE SITUATION – WE WILL BE INVINCIBLE!
And in Lufkin, TX, , Army and Navy recruiters were the targets of vandals who keyed their cars, smashed their windows, and shot at their vehicles with “with what appeared to be a high-powered pellet gun.”
…
Jan. 2007. Anti-war radicals lay siege to the US Capitol and smash windows at the recruitment center on 14th and L.
Pittsburgh anti-recruiter organizers shut down a military recruitment station for a whole day. They brandish hateful signs like this:
August 2007. In New England: Suspect charged with leaving fake bomb at recruitment office.
A city man was arrested Tuesday on charges that he twice left a fake bomb package at a military recruitment office, police said. Francis Monaghan, 68, was charged with two counts of first-degree breach of peace, a felony, and two counts of reckless endangerment, said Lt. Sean Cooney. “He made certain incriminating statements,” Cooney said. “He did express some anti-war feelings. We think that was at least partially his motivation.” Monaghan was being held on $100,000 bond. An envelope slipped into the recruiting station mailbox on Bedford Street Monday morning contained batteries and other “bomb-making components,” Cooney said. The package was nearly identical to an envelope left at the same U.S. Army/U.S. Air Force station last months, police said. Both bore “unusual writing” and were placed in the station’s mailbox, Cooney said.
September 2007. The far Left group, Iraq Veterans Against the War calls on followers to commit fraud to interfere with military recruiters. The sabotage action was part of a larger, coordinated campaign with the International ANSWER racket to obstruct military recruitment centers in Washington and across the country. Other socialist partners in crime:
http://www.notyoursoldier.org/
http://www.warresisters.org/
http://www.afsc.org/youthmilAnti-war punks shut down the Times Square recruitment station:
The New York chapter of the War Resisters League kicked off a week of actions against military recruitment in New York by shutting down the Times Square Recruiting Station Saturday morning. Three members of the WRL were arrested, but the recruiting station remained closed for the rest of the day as the WRL maintained its presence there, joined in the afternoon by the Rude Mechanical Orchestra. The three arrestees were charged with disorderly conduct and released four hours later.
October 2007. Code Pink defaces the Berkeley recruitment center, branding our troops as assassins:
VIII. And finally, the ever-growing Unhinged Mugshot Collection

Nashville police arrested Andrew Thurman, left, and Frederick Stevenson in Septmeber 2004 and charged them with theft and unlawful weapons possession after they found guns and 71 Bush-Cheney signs in Thurman’s car. Policy say they stole the signs from Nashville, Tenn., yards because Thurman was angry at President Bush for sending his brother to Iraq. (Credit: Nashville Police Department.)
Nathan Winkler of Tampa, Fla., was arrested and charged with aggravated stalking in March 2005 for allegedly terrorizing a mother who had a Bush-Cheney bumper sticker on her car. Click on the video here to listen to an excerpt of the mother’s frantic call to 911.

Three other alleged tire-slashers: Lewis Caldwell (top-left), Justin Howell (top-right), and Lavelle Mohammed (bottom). (Credit: Milwaukee County Police.)
In March 2004, Claremont McKenna College visiting professor of psychology Kerri Dunn falsely claimed she discovered anti-Semitic, anti-black, anti-woman graffiti spray-painted on her 1992 Honda Civic. Dunn was convicted of two felony counts of attemped insurance fraud and one misdemeanor count of filing a false police report. (Credit: Claremont Police Department.)
Phillip Edgar Smith, left, and William Zachary Wolff were arrested after they threw custard cream pies at conservative author Ann Coulter during her speech at the University of Arizona in October 2004. Read the arrest report here. (Credit: Pima County Jail via The Smoking Gun.)
December 2009 – Palin-hater Jeremy Olson arrested for attempted assault and disorderly conduct after hurling two tomatoes at the Alaska governor from a second-floor mall balcony in Minnesota. He missed and hit a cop. Olson was cheered as a “hero” by Palin-haters.
August 2010 — Michael Enright, liberal interfaith film company volunteer, stabbed a Muslim NYC cabbie and faces trial this year. Liberals rushed to hang the entire Right for the crime.
As I said last summer: “They cannot help themselves. Wasn’t it just a few hours ago that I blogged about another act of Democrat vandalism falsely blamed on the the Tea Party? Why yes, yes it was. From GOP fake hate crime hoaxer Ashley Todd to suicide census worker Bill Sparkman, there remains an unrestrained impulse among too many to falsely scream political violence when it doesn’t exist — and to ignore it where it does exist…But like I said just a few hours ago and like I’ll certainly have to say again and again and again in the future: Being a Tea Party-bashing liberal means never having to say you’re sorry for smearing conservative dissent.”
Over to you, Krugman and Company.

Insomnia sucks, don’t it? I love how the left can claim anecdotes with impunity but can never prove anything, and yet our gracious hostess puts together an essay that took a good minute and a half to load (on my crappy internet connection, but still!).
And what is with the numbering? There weren’t any comments before mine when I posted…and still aren’t.
Are they trying to criminalize conservatism, or just speaking out against politicians using violent rhetoric, such as positively bringing up 2nd Amendment remedies (shooting elected officials)?
The left needs to get it’s act together, but all sides of the political spectrum should police themselves and not use violence/firearm tinged terminology.
You forgot the man who is supposedly above it all when he said:
A link to this page should be sent to every editor of every newspaper and every news director of every TV station and network and ask them if they still believe the people on the Right are the haters.
Let me see if I recall … What is it that Obama and the left says about all the other Muslims that do not set off bombs and kill lots of people? hmmm …. And how should we treat them? hmmm
I am sure the killer “acted stupidly”.
I’m monitoring “Morning Joe” on MSNBC this morning, and i have lost count at how many times Sarah Palin’s name has been associated with violence.
There has been no mention of ANY of the above incidents of Leftist violence over just the past 10 years.
Palin Beck et al should be charged for attack on IRS in Austin.. What an idiot.
Palin planted her “evil” seed in Austin, yea because Austin doesn’t have any kooks; like “Max the Flower Guy” who was elected to the City Council. Yea, nothing wrong there.
The constant refrain of “teabagger” and constant whining about “enslaved” peoples is disgusting on that site.
I hate Sara Palin T-shirts. Oh yes, such love.
Wow Michelle, this post is one of your best! The hypocrisy of the left is so mind numbingly infuriating, so unfair, so pervasive. But you have put together a devastating case against liberals in this post, proving with 100% certainty that this people are bold hypocritical liars, who just do not care about the truth. They sure do count on the stupidity of many Americans to put this “blame the right” garbage out there and know it will be bought by so many.
I think that a copy of this post should be splashed everywhere it can be on the internet. If it were possible, Id put it in every liberal rag newspaper, full page. It should be sent to every member of Congress, and e-mailed to the WH.
I guess, Michelle, in the interest of conserving bandwidth in your expose, you had to leave out the 800 pound, partner-of-leftist-deceit gorilla in the room: islam. Quite telling, all of it, when it’s properly condensed.
Crosshairs on Palin’s head, the commenters say they love it. One actually said that it proved the point that putting “crosshairs” on a map is wrong. WTF is wrong with these people. Oh yeah, no Love.
Hangin Palin OK! Hanging Obama NOT OK! say liberals. yea it’s the WeHoes again.
Maybe Chap can explain to us why we are now Pakistan? Give us some context Chap.
Great job. I have sent a link to this to libs who are attempting to use this tragedy for their advantage.
Michelle just answered that question in excruciatingly explicit detail. You cannot possibly be so dense that you could read her post and still not know the answer to your question, so I will assume you did not read her post.
Please do so now. Then look in the mirror.
“WE MUST PUNISH OUR ENEMIES…” – President Obama referencing Republicans at a Hispanic rally in 2010.

search for palin +hate on Cafe Press. No doubt a fav of the Daily Kosmanoughts.
Search for palin +hate on Zazzle. Some are kinda funny, and not too bad. However it’s sad that they come up when you search for hate and Palin.
Excellent job Michelle! This post should be spread throughout the entire left-wing blogospher that jumped all over the Tea Bagger/Palin schtick.
For example, the garbage spewing out from the Kos kooks is despicable. It would not surprise me in the least if it were found out that Loughner had any type of affiliation with that website.
Good on you for putting out the scorecard for something those pieces of rubbish started.
Excellent post. Liberals’ comments on the news stories about this catastrophe call to mind a line from Hemingway’s Francis Macomber story — “He felt as though he had opened the wrong door in a hotel and seen something shameful.” I collected invective from the comments on two stories at thedailybeast.com and stopped when I had a page and a half’s worth. “Right Wing Nut Jobs,” “pistol-packing Tea Baggers,” “halfwitted rednecks,” “slavering, drooling,mindless minions at [Palin’s] command,” “these monsters,” “these KKKreeps” — a computerized version of one of Orwell’s imaginary “two minutes’ hate” rallies from “1984.” Add to that the exhortation of a “veteran Democratic operative” who told politico.com that the White House “needs to deftly pin this on the tea partiers.” Such rabid rage and hyena-like opportunism stands in sharp contrast to what happened in the aftermath of self-proclaimed “Soldier of Allah” Nidal Malik Hasan’s mass murder of American GIs at Fort Hood last year. Mainstream journalists and politicians of both parties did everything possible to avoid condemning Islam and its adherents, even after Hasan’s detailed Power Point presentation citing verse after Qur’anic verse to justify violent jihad came to light. The left’s reaction to this dreadful incident makes my hair stand on end. You wonder where such hyperpartisanship is going to lead this country. A hundred and fifty years ago, it led it into a conflagration.
Triple ditto this — but it has to get out more! Can this go on Townhall or even Fox somehow? This is NOT the time to just let this issue “go away”. Consewrvative though are being cast as dinosaur villans and “bad people” to every youth that watches TV or the web. The outrageously unrepentent and unabashedly biased media has committed political slander for the world to see. This incident can soften up the incentive for our reps to perform ObamaCare repeal and kill the Dem’s form of “immigration reform.” They MUST stand firm!! The country must know that there are civil and ethical differences between libs and conservatives who are far more prone to draw a line in heated expression than the others. The differences between a Dem and Repub convention is you’d have to cover the ears of a child attending one from the language thrown around.

Me, my take is this, these people on the left have been searching high and low, and up to this point at every turn they have been discredited,for the White Guy between the ages of 18 and 35 that they could pin on the conservative side and when they had that, the took that like a dog does a bone with no research, no evidence, nothing to attribute this guys murderous actions with anything having to do with anyone or anything on the right. Frankly, those on the left that are spewing this are Liars or the first order as well as being beneath contempt.
Liars.
The news last night couldn’t wait to drag out old videos of McVeigh.
You forgot a few.
Lee Harvey Oswald was a member of the Communist Party.
Squeaky Fromme, who attempted to asassinate President Ford, was a follower of radical leftist hippy Charles Manson.
John Hinkley, who attempted to asassinate President Reagan, is a radical leftist who was judged criminally insane.
Theodore John “Ted” Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber, was a radical environmentalist.
Those are just a few who come to mind. Leftist are FAR more violent that Conservatives.
Wow, Michelle. Wow.
I think the Dems and the MSM have collective amnesia. Either that, or they are in the dream world that the murderer speaks of—an alternative universe where every word they speak becomes a dove of peace. They eat clouds and emit marshmallows in their rainbow world, and have never said “Bushhitler” nor that they want Cheney to die. Their instruments of peace and love are the New Black Panthers at voting polls. The Chicago way is another Disney park.
I think it is becoming increasingly frustrating for Wolf Blitzer and Shep Smith, both frantically searching for tangible proof that the murdering Arizona coward belonged to a Tea Party, hated illegals or Obama,loved Palin, or incited violence towards Democrats. I did read, however, that the murderer thought the government controlled sentence structure,a primary concern of all Tea Party members.
It appears he was not able to stay awake long enough (he’d rather be flying in his dreams) to focus on current politics, only grammar and the meaning of words.
I continue to pray for comfort for the families who have lost loved ones, and for the healing of the injured.
My history is a little foggy this morning but, there are very disturbing parallels happening here, can anyone remember some instances where scapegoating was used to further a adgenda? Where the lie was so overused there was no hope of the truth. I am seeing something happening here and my gut feeling is not a good one.
In 1967 there were buttons you could purchase with the following: “Where’s Oswald when we need him?” The buttons were probably around before that. I was shocked at the time. Admittedly, I had led a very sheltered life up to that point.
Political violence in this country is always a product of the left or the occasional random nutball who doesn’t have a clue as to what he believes. And what about the KKK? They were the enforcement arm of the democrat party in the south (their success outside the south was more problematic). And yet conservatives for the most part (particularly the National Review type e.g. Jonah “policing the right” Goldberg and Rich “White Guilt” Lowry) continue to apologize, kid themselves that superior manners will carry the day, and refuse to confront this fact or even consider the implications.
The left wants us dead. They hate us. They really, really hate us.
Apologies for misspellings in #27 for “conservative thought” and “there’re more differences between a Dem and Repub convention than having to cover the ears of a child attending one from the language thrown around.” I’m beside myself in outrage. This is a great vent and offensive defense of our choice of thought, MM.
So, would Congressman Brady’s “crosshair ban” include GPS target brackets in maps and screens?

Isn’t it just a bit of a Crazy Maker, that the only way the shooter can get a fair trial is for the People to pay lawyers and psychiatrists millions of dollars to make up obvious lies in an effort to prove legal “innocence”. Lets keep this relatively simple case going for years…. Lets stand on the bodies of the dead to elevate political ideas. Justice delayed is Justice denied, but who is looking for Justice?
beenthere said:
I have hated the left from my days of having bags of burning dog crap dumped on my boat everytime we came back from a WestPac during Vietnam. I hate them still and it works for me.
Wouldn’t matter a bit. The Dinosaur Media knows the truth, but that doesn’t fit their agenda so they ignore it. They LIE intentionally. “Winning” is all that matters to the Left.
Excellent work compiling all this, Michelle! This entry provides a great reference link for folks to pass along to others via email, in comments, forums, blogs & such. Thank you!
I only hope people have full screenshots of sites you’ve linked to as evidence, in case the pages are soon “disappeared”.
Yeah, you’re right, don’t spread the word (i.e. link). All is lost. Hopeless. We’re doomed and all that, doncha know.
Every time the Demorats are on the losing end of elections they want to “get along” and work in a bi-partisan manner. If they are on the winning side Obummer framed it thusly—-”We won”-Republicans lost. Thanks so much for this post of Left wing manic behavior. The scope of it overwhelms me. Conservatism must prevail in ’12.
Ooh Rah!! I was wondering why no one hadn’t documented the left’s appalling violent action and rhetoric. Michelle, you are one tough cookie. Thanks for your courage.
The only thing missing was the Bush hanging in effigy from the house in West Hollywood.
WPOD
You forgot the RNC Welcoming Committee.
What a yeoman’s job, Michelle!!!!!!! Thank you for standing up for freedom and liberty. God bless you and keep you.
Agree with all.
The “Left” – outmoded French-Revolution era shorthand term; i.e., the elitists, statists, arrogant know-it-alls, collectivists, socialists, statists, etc; are opposite worldview-holding America-haters and -destroyers.
They are America’s domestic enemy.
On this, the science is “settled”.
I expect we could all add an item or two to the fine list Michelle has come with here. Makes for extra back-up material when a person writes a letter to the editor, comments on media blogs, etc.
If the LA Times can get it right, what is the rest of the left’s problem?
I had a feeling this whole narrative from the last 48 hours had gotten you mad enough to hit back Michelle, and you did not let me down!
Excellent job. Comprehensive, and damning.
I look forward to Rush Limbaugh today, since he has been through this before with no less than President Clinton blaming him by name in a speech for the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.
They punch us, we punch back twice as hard. They bring a knife, we bring a gun. Get in their faces.
Where have I heard that before?
I wonder if Sarah Palin is going to come out and defend herself, because this talk is not going to go away.
I think she is thinking primarily about the tragedy itself, and the victims for the time being. However, if the media keeps this crap up, she will hit them back, quite hard I would expect.
She has said or done nothing wrong, and has nothing to be ashamed of or apologize for.
It will soon be time for her to “reload“, and “target” the media for an all out “assault“, or “counter-attack“, if you will.
I look forward to it.
Here’s an image of Sarah Palin with blood on her hands (slaughtering Lady Liberty), by artist Zina Saunders who used it as part of a slide show lecture (with artist Eric Drooker) called, wait for it, “Art is a Weapon!”.
The artist attended The Cooper Union which features murals of Marx and Lenin, whom she no doubt thinks of as peace-loving heroes for progress and liberty, but I digress.
The shooter was a deranged left wing pothead.
Not being a “veteran political operative”, I would propose dealing with the problem by dealing with the person responsible.
If we want to start guilt by association, we’ve got lefties, potheads, and the deranged to choose among.
Thanks for the compilation, Michelle. I know this is just the tip of the iceberg, as crazed Leftists have been at it for a long time.
Sane and sensible people can see the difference between the Left and the Right. The glaring distinction is Wrong (Leftists) and Right!
There are, I believe, many more and better examples of left-wing hate.
Why do they hate. I see one over-riding reason. They can’t tolerate anyone disagreeing with them. It’s painful to them. They can’t think — “oh, ok, you look at the same issue I do, and see it differently. We can each articulate our positions well. We are each passionate and sincere. We come to different conclusions”.
They are utterly unable to do that. You disagree with them, it hurts, because they can’t entertain the possibility they might be wrong. So their response is to want you to go away, to disappear. If you won’t go away, then for you to be destroyed. And what is hate. It’s the desire to destroy another person.
I’m not going away, and I’m not going to be quiet. The left has to learn I may disagree with them at times. They have to learn to entertain the possibility they might be wrong sometimes.
I don’t think Sarah should come out and efend herself. It’s not safe. She’s truly now got a target on her from the deranged left, and as Michelle well points out it’s the lefties who are the ones actually perpetrating the violence.
Fantastic job! Tremendous effort!
Thanks Michelle.
I’m going to bookmark this column and send it out to every jackwagon on the Left who squawks about violence on the right from this day forward.
It won’t stop the smears and lies, but it will make it more difficult for some.
From the LA Times article linked by Pasadena Phil:
So, he read both left-wing diatribes. Does this prove he’s a left-wing nutjob? No. I have read them because you have to know what the crazies are doing. With all the other evidence about mental disorders piling up, I’d say he was a complete loon.
If Karl, instead of writing a lot about Capital, made a lot of Capital, it would have been much better.
- Henrietta Marx, mother of Karl
Wow, what a collection! Thank you Michelle for collecting and posting this. I remembered some and had forgotten othes. The left is truly Unhinged
That he admired them does show he’s a leftwing nutjob.
If you think that rhetoric “makes” one do something, please come over to my house and use your rhetoric to make my teenage son clean his room.
Otherwise, hush up, the incident was a tragedy not a teaparty.
And don’t forget the “Sarah Palin is A C***” t-shirts, with the C word spelled out, that the media thought was cute.
Obviously, in Liberal World, all the insane and violent images, action, and rhetoric by the Left was meaningless, and just them having a good time.
The point is that this guy was strange even before he messed up his brain wires with drugs. It just doesn’t matter what ideas you feed into that kind of a brain. It’s like his friend said, he was just determined to mess everything up for everyone else. End of story. WPOD.
Oh, and btw, it should be obvious, but I’ll state it for the record, anyway, pointing out he’s a leftwing nut doesn’t mean I’m blaming the scum on the left for their vile, hateful, lying, hypocritical rhetoric leading him to commit mass murder.
That is the left’s odious game, not the opinion of those of us who actually value freedom of speech.
Million-man march on the AP anyone?
One day, and I believe it’s coming soon, the far left will step over a line from whence there’s no coming back. Nudge, nudge, nudge…
Yes, we have enemies within. People like Paul Krugman is just one recent example…there are many. They are predisposed to create villans from political opposition whom they are unable to defeat through dialogue and debate.
These are dangerous people, not because of their physicality (who’s afraid of pencil-necked geeks?), but because they have the national stage, and use lies, distortions, and propaganda to sway intemperate, or unhinged individuals. The one thing that is always absent is the truth. The desire to exploit the dark side of man’s nature always comes from the left…always the left!
Unfortunately, turning the other cheek is not working, since they view it as weakness, enboldening them to escalate to who knows what. One thing is certain, though…it is coming.
This battle is as old as history. Even the bible teaches us; “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.” Man’s battle for civility will never end, because the human heart holds a darkness that is easily exploited by evildoers who feed on the misery of others. This is where the left looks for it’s power. It must be power denied!
Here’s one more Michelle.
With so many instances of violence/vandalism/hate/etc from liberals it is difficult to keep track of all of them!
Hey, I just noticed that most of the criminals pictured above are wearing a
t-shirt! Using the same liberal logic, let’s ban t-shirts because criminals wear them!
One thing I have been keeping track of — a lack of gutter troll blathering here today, what, no input trolls?
What will cause and incite voters would be an additional dose of banana republic politics of shoving unwanted changes to this country against the will of the people. It incited many to join tea parties and be more involved in politics and to become informed beyond the lamestream media of which this publication link below is a member. Their response though was not violence but a historical sweep of the congress to remove from office those who oppose the will of the people. The attempt to silence dissent by using a mentally ill shooter will not work and reaffirms the need for Americans to take back their country .

Michelle, thank you so much for all you do to keep us informed. This horrible event has really gotten the nasty critters on the left bent out of shape in the worse way. Please keep yourself and your family safe.

Facebook is now allowing this link to show up in its News Feed. I’ve tried posting it as well as one of my FB friends. I’ve even tried to repost it. Still, nothing.
It’s not the first time FB has censored the truth about the left, but with all of the hype the left has created about the Arizona shooting, there is no way to keep the truth from being known.
That would be exactly the crawling-into-shelter/hiding type of response that our domestic enemies, as well as muslim jihad terrorist savages, would want.
Somehow, Sarah Palin – for whom I am no cheerleader – does not strike me as a dhimmi.
Leftist nutjobs are already calling a Tucson-area conservative talk show host, telling him how they want to shoot him for his “violent right-wing rhetoric”…imagine that – someone wanting to kill another becausee of words…crazy eh? what kind of person would ever want to do such a thing
THANK YOU for assembling all this. I am SO DISGUSTED by the left-wing right now, they are the most indecent, dishonorable people I have ever seen, and I am going to use this list to call them out wherever I can.
Where are the mugshots of Ayers/Dohrn?
Where are the dots connected from Ayers back to the WH?
Great post Michelle, but you left out the biggest crackpot lefties of all, the truthers like Whoopie who espouse that G Bush was involved in the 9/11 massacre of nearly 3000 Americans. Nearly 25% of all democrats believe that nonsense, which means the crap has been thoroughly disseminated by the left. It also means the left has a lot of seriously stupid and deranged people. It’s one thing to be a birther, idiotic but not dangerous, and another to believe your government took part in a massacre of innocent civilians in 2001.
Any chance I get, I just point it back at the president, who has been obscene with his hate filled statements. Al Gore has also told his eco-nuts to become more violent.
Now, that’s what I want to see ALL conservatives do…fight back against this blood libel!
I’d add to this list the RNC “Welcoming Committee” and the anarchists believed to be responsible for beating one of Bobby Jindal’s staffers and her boyfriend.
I think we should include Mr Ron Bloom as well, remember his infamaous Mao quote and agreement with?
I have decided to ignore the calls to cease and desist the angry rhetoric. I often consider my views as more vanilla-flavored compared to others. In this case, I’m compelled by our friends Kos and Krugman to douse the rhetorical flames with a drop of charcoal fluid, so here I go:
The violent, inflammatory rhetoric by the Left is gonna get somebody killed!
How d’ya like them apples? Oh, you don’t? What about this:
Murderous anarchists don’t kill people, people who put target symbols on political websites do! Circles inside of circles placed on maps are actually signals that activate the Tea Party automatons to kiiiill.
The mush-for-brains insinuating this are two discs short of a boxed set.
A congressperson, who just days earlier recited the First Amendment before her gathered peers for the first time ever, gets shot while meeting with the public. Citizens who made the unfortunate choice of exercising their First Amendment right to be heard by her are killed or injured. Mush-mouths exploit the incident by abusing their First Amendment right to freedom of the press as a means to foment hatred toward other Americans by saying that they’re the ones fomenting the hatred. These Americans are people who want to exercise their own First Amendment rights to speak freely, to peaceably assemble, and to petition for a redress of grievances.
A note to the lunatics who say that blood is on the Tea Party’s hands—we are not going anywhere. We’re not going to shut up. We are Americans, just like you (you may be lunatics, but you’re still American, as painful as that is for me to admit). We are no longer apathetic to your lies, distortions, accusations, misrepresentations, omissions, prohibitions, exhibitions, regulations, submissions, hypocrisy, hatred, and fearmongering. We have decided to get involved. We have decided to speak out. We have decided that enough is enough.
We did not tell Loughner to buy a gun. We did not pull the trigger for him. We did not know him. We do not consider him one of ours.
When you slander us by falsely declaring our association with a murderer, you know we will resist. You know exactly what you are doing, you cowards. You continue to antagonize us, hoping that we will suddenly snap and go postal on everyone. It’s not going to happen. You were unprepared for us, and now you are afraid because we have you backed into a corner. Like any cornered beast, you lash out at the closest threat. We are the threat to your overreaching power, your dominance, and your relevance, but we are not a literal threat to your immediate safety. You know this, too, so stop saying it. Take the high road for once. Grow the hell up.
Without the Tea Party, FoxNews (that’s F-O-X for the grammatically challenged), Palin, Beck, Limbaugh, Malkin, et al., etc., your public influence would go virtually unchecked. The freedom to disagree is one major reason this country has succeeded for over a hundred years. Maybe we can make it succeed again within a hundred more.
Whaddaya say, guys? Shake hands? No? Then the battle will rage on.
Stray thought: If saying “we’re not gonna take it” makes us responsible for creating psychopaths, I’m blaming Twisted Sister.
Do you honestly believe they are unaware of the situation? If you believe they are aware, please explain how you think an emailed website link would convince them to change their behavior.
Michelle, Did I miss the mention of when Sarah Palin’s church was burned down – arson.
The most dangerous thing about it is they don’t have to fight us; they sincerely believe time and trying circumstances and despair for a Santa Clause Candyman White Knight to bail us out of despair and disillusion will ultimately wear us down. That piece by piece, bit by bit, we will eventually have the Nannystate they desire. If someone from the late 1930s was beamed here today they’d be shocked of where we socially stand here. Social Security, the diminishing of churches and class culture and civility and graces, unisexual mindsets, gun control, PC and aliens taking over your own culture with the country taking a “oh well, that’s life” view of it. ObamaCare is a giant step in our “nanny fix”, but hasn’t been the only one for ages. Unlike them, Conservatism will always be the defensive battle against atrophy, and this why no quarter must be given in the slide because you’ll never gain that ground again. The “spoiled” people won’t let it happen, even to retrieve their own souls. I remember my grandmother saying that Hitler was (incidentally) a biggest prompter of woman’s rights here than Susan Anthony via Rosy the Riveter — who was regarded the right thing to do at the time, but seeded the feminist movement with all the social ramifications from the “changing family” to sex roles to the change of courtesy and civility (would 1940s high school mens EVER dreampt of addressing girls in the dirt manner they do today)? Alright I’m rambling, but basically I’m saying is time is on the libs side and they know a bad economy and the pursuit of ever higher kicks and escapes only swells their numbers. It’ll always be a defensive game for us.

Finger-pointing rampant in aftermath of Arizona shooting

Thank you so much!

Good roundup, but you missed one: Craig Kilborne on the CBS Late Late Show and his “Snipers Wanted” subtitle to video of George W. Bush campaigning for President.
One thing the Left teaches us about extremism is how propaganda convinces the public that The Other is not fully human, that everything bad is their fault, that nothing they do is ever good, and how the world would be better off if The Other were exterminated. We’re seeing here the same mechanism at work that led to the pogroms and purges in the worst of human history.
Yet, FNC keeps Geraldo, Shep Smith and Juan Williams on the payroll to support and propagate the Leftist lies. Inexcusable.
And let’s not forget this image, put out by that marginal, extreme, fanatic progressive fringe called… um… CBS.
Michelle has it covered. Good job! The hate is from the left as always.
My teens and their friends use similar looking paper targets on our property for paintball target practice, and they’re not shooting politicians. Hmmmm.
MM-Great post as usual, and I have only one request-Turn this column into a book and you will have the next NY Times bestseller.
The only question is where to find this book-Would it be under political commentary or True Crime?

The continuing ambivalence of the public toward the false charges that eminate from the liberal left extremists has to stop …
We hear the immediate diatribes from the left, as always, attributing all blame for every catastrophe to the tea party, talk radio and the conservative population …
Then … once the charges have been proven to be incorrect there is never an apology or denial from the liberal left nor the MSM regarding the false statements and accusations they issued …
Unfortunately this mean that the many amongst us that still remain convinced that the MSM is telling them the truth never get the corrected version …
I couldn’t get through all the vitriol…it was too upsetting. Thank God for people like Michelle Malkin who put the truth out there. Unfortunately, the regressives are blind to this and have selective thinking. This will not change. It is a very sicko portion of society that has come out of the closet and is on a rampage. They feel empowered to speak up now that regressives permeate our White House and Congress. They feel empowered to admit they are socialists and even communists because there are those like them in power now. This is truly frightening because no one in the WH is stepping up and trying to tone down this rhetoric. NO.ONE. Even idiots like Shep Smith allow these types of things to go unanswered. The Liberal sh@t has officially hit the fan. What is even more frightening is that this is really a smallish percentage of our population but they are the most vocal. Conservatives have traditionally been more polite and willing to compromise. Now that we are fighting back, this will not end well. But we have no choice. To not fight back is to surrender our country.
Michelle,
This post is a Tour de Force!
Thank you for your tireless devotion to the truth, as well as your exceptional and unmatched skill and productivity.
You, single-handedly, have produced more truth in this one post than all of the MSM (Marxist SOROS Media) combined!
I believe, like in the past, eventually the MSM may have to calm down a notch on the Palin angle. Liberal idiots who keep sounding this will look like fools.
More information emerges of this lone murderer, who does not fit the “Tea Party” brand; or one taking subliminal messages from “Palin” (she is known for her beliefs in satanic worship and communist manifesto readings). This guy is an insane, delusional, paranoid, psychotic,schizophrenic; a loner who had alienated friends, classmates, and teachers with his behavior. He is a goth with a satanic-type shrine, did not like government, a radical who read anarchical books (or claimed to), and is–per friends–non-political but thought he was smarter than the Congresswoman he shot. Being delusional, he wanted fame, and this was a way of achieving fame and the attention he craved.
We have yet to hear the parent’s view of their son.
Their son has taken the 5th, so he must, somehow, trust the judicial process, no? Are the liberal media and Pima County Sheriff complicit in providing motive for this murderer, even if his past does not reflect hatred towards Democrats, Obamacare or illegal immigrants?
I hope this backfires spectacularly with the Rachel Maddow’s, Keif Olberman, Wolf Blitzer and Shep Smith, who wanted, eagerly, to break any story that this man was a deranged Tea Partier. Shame on them all and the news media outlets (yes, FOX) who have allowed them to spread propaganda and sensationalize murder for their own political beliefs.
Rush, also blamed by Clinton for the Oklahoma City bombings, is taking them to the woodshed right now (and yes, per the Sheriff and others, talk radio is one of the reasons this murderer killed people).

Good job, Michelle Malkin. The AMERICAN PRAVDA media ignores the hate filled left wing trashing of decent conservative people. But the video clips and internet posts still exist. And then they find some nonsensical statement or minor gaffe by conservatives and trumpet it over the media 24 / 7/ 365.

“Never let a good crisis go to waste” is the liberal / democRAT / socialist / statist / marxist / communist mantra. I think the psychiatrists call it “projection”–blame your faults and crimes on someone else.

HI HADENOUGH–#99. Yes–Fox cable news has liberal commentators also. Fox provides both sides of the news, and always identifies the political leanings of their personnel up front.

Hearing from both sides is useful. Lots of times the more wacked out statements sound so stupid that they are valuable in helping sane people reject them.

And as far as Juan Williams–his points of view are different due to his life experiences. Sometimes he is right on target with his comments. He is a decent rational person with a good heart. I think he learned a lot from his NPR experiences. He is a useful addition to Fox News.

The only comment I have to all the DEMS who want to “END POLITICAL VITRIOL”… Sir or madame CONGRESSMAN, sir or madame SENATOR, remember your oath, to defend and protect the CONSTITUTION… Now look at your 1st amendment, “CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAWS” etc… Words to remember, words to LIVE by…
The psychosis of Jared Loughner is one issue.
The psychosis of the Marxist SOROS Media (that wants to pin the blame on Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, etc.) is
another issue.
The Liberal Media wants to blame this shooting on conservatives. Even when there is absoultely no evidence to connect Jared Loughner to Sarah Palin, Tea Parties, etc.
The Liberal Media does not want, however, for anyone to blame Jihadist terror (like the shootings at Fort Hood) on the teachings of Islam.
Rush is on a rampage right now. Go Rush!! He is really hitting a home run right now. I wish you could all tune in to his show today.
happyscrapper#118,
I am listening to Rush now. He is doing a great job. Did you hear Glenn’s radio show today? He did great also and will have more on his Fox show tonight.
L
Well, Shep Smith is a news reporter, not a pundit. He should know better. When someone is telling an out and out lie, or misstating the facts, he has an obligation to ask them to clarify or prove what they are saying is true. He doesn’t do that. This weekend, he let people rant about the republicans and those on the right and he said nothing! That is not fair and balanced. I wish Shep was gone. After this weekend, I will turn the station any time he comes on.
I hope Rush mentions what a great job Michelle Malkin has done on this over the weekend while Rush was sleeping in.
Excellent post, Michelle. So comprehensive, it reminds me of the old saw about one of the ways that women are similar to computers: “Everything you ever do wrong is stored into permanent memory for later retrieval.”
Always mixed feelings when something like this happens. On the one hand, one never wants to see political discourse devolve to the point where disagreements end with gunshots; for then we will have really become a Banana Republic, and the left will have won.
On the other hand, as the post so clearly shows, it is the Democrats and their hangers-on who have done more than anyone else to poison the political atmosphere in this country – and I wouldn’t be telling the truth if I didn’t admit it makes it harder to sympathize when what they fantasize about and what they call for among themselves rebounds back at them.
People are critically hurt and killed and liberals instantly manufacture reasons to hate and incite others in a wave of lies and manipulation.
Liberals not anyone else rush to feed on the misery and corpses of their own citizens purely to create rage for political gain.
If words have consequences why aren’t liberals taking their own hate spew as a clue.
And just when is it that people are responsible for their own actions, like adults?
Liberals lie, attack, throw mud and if the Right doesn’t respond, the lie becomes accepted as true.
If violence sprouts from seeds of rhetoric Its not the Right that’s in such a hurry to plant them.
Not that libs will change themselves, they’re too childish, the rest of the nation has to stand up and say enough lies, exaggeration and rush to judgment.
