Who the hell are the cry-babies in the media and Democratic party to complain about some alleged bad behavior during last weekend’s Tea Party rally in Washington, DC where there were thousands on hand and possibly a few shouted inappropriate hate comments, racial epitaphs, at a couple black congressmen though no one reported specific incidents nor were there any tapes or recordings of such? One congressman was apparently spat upon but the “smoking gun” video is most inconclusive.
Meanwhile, what do these same people have to say about episodes that are all too common when prominent Republicans and conservatives attempt to make public appearances? How do they justify such? If the behavior they allege is unsatisfactory in the Tea Party gathering, then what should be the reaction to the following?
Last night, Karl Rove appeared at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills, California to discuss his book “Courage and Consequences: My Life as a Conservative in the Fight.” Approximately one hundred guests were in attendance for the book signing.
Promptly, demonstrators including the co-founder of the radical anti-war group, Code Pink, rushed the stage. Their leader, Jodie Evans approached Rove with handcuffs claiming to make a citizens’ arrest charging him with “outing a CIA agent,” “you lied to take us to war…” and “totally ruining the country.”
Another demonstrator shouted, “The only comfort I take is that you’re going to rot in hell.”
Rove responded that the mob attack represented, “totalitarianism of the left…they don’t believe in dialog…they don’t believe in courtesy. They don’t believe in first Amendment rights for anyone but themselves.” Well said, Mr. Rove.
Dave Bryan, a reporter for KCAL, Los Angeles’ CBS station, reported from the event noting security was lax leaving Mr. Rove to essentially fend for himself.
This episode so beautifully reveals the total hypocrisy and moral relativism of the so-called progressive elitists. While they go out of their way to take items out of context and use them to scream abusive speech and prejudices exhibited by those against whom they disagree, when the table is turned they are silent. In the same week they attempted to identify Sarah Palin as inciting hated and violence, one of their key protest groups engages in violence.
It’s clear that the law in Obama nation is that if you’re on the left, the ends justify the means. Whether it’s obliterating rules for the legislative process being manipulated and voided by the house and senate and providing massive earmarks to gain votes or an episode like this idiotic behavior in Beverly Hills, the attitude seems to be one of a bizarre form of entitlement, “We can do whatever we want because we’re right.”
Sadly, many institutions now are thinking twice before booking conservative speakers under the threat of violence that is routine at northeast and west coast campuses but has even spread to relatively civil environments like Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
In a land where we supposedly believe in equal protection under the law, clearly some people do not count to the citizens of Obama Nation.
This should make the rest of us fighting mad.
