One thing that I don’t think the MSNBC and CNN crowd gets is that all this name calling, looking down their nose, insulting and name calling is doing is motivating a sleeping giant. Again.
The Republican Party was a goner in 2006/2008. It had become too watered down. Too much spending, too much bending, and absolutely too watered down a message. People want a clear difference in the parties. All this calling for bi-partisanship is great when that simple a question is asked, but if you break down how people identify themselves….liberals are outnumbered over 2-1 vs conservatives. People don’t want a liberal Republican party, and you can believe one of the reasons they got walked on in the 2008 elections was that the most liberal primary states chose the middle of the road Republican McCain as nominee for President to battle the most formidable dem opponent in ages, Obama.
Now the liberal elite media seem to think the way back to power is to insult, belittle and basically act like third graders. The sexually charged reference Teabagger, the constant attack on the intelligence of the tea party members, the constant charges of racism, it all blew up in their face in November of this past year, yet they didn’t learn a thing.
Look at the attacks this week of MSNBC host Chris Matthews asking if Sarah Palin is smart enough to know she’s too stupid to know she shouldnt be President…and that she sounds more like a “make up sales person” than a serious politician. Sexist much Mr Matthews? He also said that HE CANNOT EXONERATE her until all the facts are in. That’s not a typo. She’s guilty on MSNBC until the evidence (which is already out and has exonerated her) is in.
People in America do not like to watch people treated like this.
We also don’t like being told to be civil by the same people who have called us names for going on a decade. Michelle Malkin did a great job chronicling the left’s hate over the last decade. We also sat and watched the Dems lock the door, and then admit they didn’t read the health care bill that they now are clamoring for bi partisanship to save. Sorry, you started all this with the pictures of Bush with guns to his head, all the name calling on shows like Bill Maher and the entire MSNBC lineup, and let us not forget the cinematic gem Death of a President. No, you do not get to go on tv now and cry for civility when you just spent a whole week lying about the motives of a madman.
And lastly, Mr President, you are not above it all. You have told your followers how mad you were, how you wanted to know who’s ass to kick, that they should get in our faces, said you’re bringing a gun to the fight if the other side brings a knife, and to punish their enemies….and you sat back for 5 days and let your minions do the damage for you, so you can ride in and be a hero. Now there’s death threats being made to tea party members while you sat by for a week and let the stones be cast.
If this is on Beck, Hannity, Palin and Limbaugh’s head, it’s surely on yours too now Mr President. You might get a post speech bump, but i would be really careful about how you choose to frame your words going forward. The t-shirts left as souvenirs, and the campaign rally appearance of your memorial the other night might have went initially unnoticed but time has a way of exposing light on these things, no matter how hard your media cheerleaders try to sanitize it.
Do i think people like Olbermann and Matthews and the always insulting Andrea Mitchell have it in them to tone it down? Can Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Al Sharpton, James “double barrell” Clyburn and Clare “pitchfork” McCaskill cool the rhetoric? I think a fleeting glance back in time says the answer will be no. And for the country’s sake I hope i’m right. Nothing motivates us like your condescending nature, the name calling, the lies and distortions. Keep up the inept work. Then we can see some real change in 2012.
