  3. I’m continually astonished by the constant, pervasive, unrelenting hatred these people have of everyone and everything. It’s wearing just to read about them, let alone anything written by them. Who can live like that?

    Speaking of astonishing, I was surprised to find out that O’Reilly is considered to be on the “right.” When did that happen?

  5. What’s really interesting is the duration and intensity of the hatred, and all out of proportion to the causes.

    The Left has been at this since 1980! When Ronald Reagan beat Jimmy Carter. There was a slight pause when Clinton won the presidency in 1992. All was right in the world, at least for a short time. Then it all started back again in 1994 when the Republicans took the Congress, and hasn’t let up since.

    What’s interesting is how the intensity and irrationality has increased since the impeachement crisis of 1998. Now everything goes and nothing is considered untouchable, even if it means attacking their own. Power is everything, and no ethical boundary is considered sacrosanct.

    Nothing demonstrates the disproportion and irrationality more than the Left’s response to Bush and Palin. The fact is Bush was not some Nazi ogre, but a pretty moderate President who wanted open borders and expansion of the welfare state. Yet the left responded with BDS. Palin they beat relentlessly; yet even after winning the 2008 election they couldn’t stop. Why? Why did they refuse to let her go? Their crazed obsession has only resulted in making Palin into a national figure around which the opposition naturally coalesced in part because of sympathy!

    I think part of what fuels their hatred is disillusionment. They cope with their disillusion that the U.S. is not a center-left nation by repression and anger. They can’t accept the death of their progressive dream and lash out rather than adjust to the truth.

    Yes, and we had a moral imperative to close Gitmo and pull troops out of Iraq, NOW!!! Except 1.5 years after Bush left office, Gitmo is still open and troops are still in Iraq.

  7. The silence on this is amazing.

    In the beginning we had James Carville and Paul Begala meeting daily with David Axelrod. Then we had Mika Brzezinski getting on air text messages from the white house pushing their agenda.

    Now the JournoList has been revealed manipulating the slant and coverage of the news at major cable, print, and air media organizations.

    The collusion between the media and the Democrat party should be the biggest scandal in the last 40 years but instead there is silence.

  8. Breitbart/Daily Caller should have been mining for blue-on-blue incidents, not blue-on-red to start with. I’m thinking those incidents are “easier” for the media to talk about. Once they had a couple of references like this one under their belt (and reasonably covered), then you’ve got something to point at and say “You know what else was in there?”

    That’s the thing I find amazing. How can so-called smart and media savvy people not understand the obvious truth in that statement? If they had let the lady alone, she would have faded away. Instead, they went after her in a way that demonstrated their hatred for the great unwashed masses who lie in fly-over country. They did themselves more harm then they could have ever did her.

    First, they are nearly as smart as they believe.

    Second, it appears they decided that Palin must not merely be defeated but destroyed. They saw how millions of middle Americans identified with her in ways they never could. She was proudly not from the Ivy League nor the East Coast. That would not do.

  11. First, they are nearly as smart as they believe.

    Damn fingers. That should read:

    First, they are not nearly as smart as they believe.

  12. Smarts |= common sense. My genius cousin who went to Johns Hopkins at age 15 and proceeded to total six cars in the next ten years is testament to that.

    These folks are not only the whitest bunch of journalists I’ve seen, but also the biggest bunch of self hating jews, generally all radical leftists. powdered jelly donuts, each and every one of them, when they aren’t watermelons. I hope enough people scream at their employers enough that they are never allowed on the news side of any publication ever again.
