Doth I Protest Too Much

Let's see...Obama and his minions are certain that "right wing extremists", aka conservative terrorists, are just one jot away from snapping in violent fury if anyone ever troubles to rile them up about something and they get organized.

Really?

Shortly after this document was spilled to the public, roughly 100,000 Americans troubled by high taxes and obvious signs of socialism in their government organized themselves at hundreds of sites nationwide and banded together to hold loud, angry protests.

And no one got hurt.

And nothing got damaged.

And no 'violent veterans' went nuts killing democrat politicians.

Really.

Let's hear the left and their messiah claim the same thing about leftist protests against military recruiters in San Francisco or leftist protests at economic summits at - well, anywhere. Let's hear the left defend the actions of 'eco-terrorists' causing widespread environmental havoc in the name of mother earth. Is this a bad time to mention the death threats against AIG employees after they were demonized by the liberal press or the death threats, old-lady-harassment, intimidation, and property damage done by decidely un-right-wing gay activists leading up to the vote striking down the undefining of marriage in California? Which side of the aisle assaults invited speakers in order to shut them up, intimidate them and drive them off - usually while screeching about 'free speech' and 'rights'? Who attacks and intimidates people because of what they wear?

Jonah Goldberg:
The idea that American "hate groups" are right-wing and bristling with vets got new life with JFK's assassination at the hands of a disgruntled vet named Lee Harvey Oswald. Everybody knew right away that Oswald was an agent of "hate" -- and hate was code for right-wing and racist. Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren summed up the instantaneous conventional wisdom when he blamed the "climate of hatred" for Kennedy's death. Everybody knew that the right was involved.

There was just one inconvenient truth: Oswald was a communist who, according to the Warren report, had "an extreme dislike of the rightwing" and had actually tried to murder a right-wing former Army general...

Sen. John Kerry belonged to an organization of vets that considered assassinating American politicians. (Kerry denied participating in those meetings.) Barack Obama was friends with, and a colleague of, a domestic terrorist whose organization plotted to murder soldiers and their wives at a social at Fort Dix. A young Hillary Clinton sympathized with the Black Panthers, a paramilitary gang of racist murderers and cop killers.

Bring that up and you're a paranoid nutcase out of "Dr. Strangelove."

But if you're terrified of a bunch of citizens who throw tea in the water and demand lower taxes and less government spending, well, that's just a sign of political seriousness.
We're being set up.

When Libya decided to flex their terrorist muscles back in the 80s Reagan famously made it clear that if they counted on America to remain passive, they counted wrong. If Obama is counting on the right remaining passive as he enacts his own blend of classic fascism, gestapo propaganda, and 1984, let's hope he counted wrong.
