Moving On

Paul Krugman of the New York Times:
Author of the Blood-Libel Against Conservatives
The great sturm and drang following the Arizona tragedy is finally receding, but it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.  I have never witnessed a worse case of liberal hatred and verbal violence in all my life.  The vicious lies that the Left unleashed against conservative pundits and personalities was truly unprecedented.  It made me realize that we on the Right do not share with the Left a common nationality, culture or tradition.  We only share the same continent, live within the borders of the same nation state.  We share little else.

The Left is more than ruthless, they are evil.  They seek to rule, not by persuasion or honest debate, but by any means necessary.  They revel in slander, character assassination and violence.  They are steeped in hatred for all who oppose them. They seek to create and hold a monopoly on news media and editorial opinion; they support voter fraud and stolen elections; they prosecute political opponents on trumped-up charges in kangaroo courts.  They have raised "the politics of personal destruction" to a high art form.  Fairness, civility and common decency are unknown to them.  I do not see the American Left as fellow citizens, I see them as sworn enemies for whom I feel little or no commonality or fraternity.

The Left has, however, finally convinced me of the truth of one of their key precepts:  Politics is war by other means.  They proved that in their orgy of hate and slander following the Arizona shootings.  I shall not forget again.

Well put and right on the money. The notion that left could be considered anything other than an existential threat to humanity has always baffled me.

Cette tragédie a été horrible ,comme celle aussi de Fort Hood , mais pourquoi une telle différence de traitement par votre gouvernement ? je crois savoir !Faut-il que Sarah Palin ,et les Tea-Party fassent peur aux clans Démocrates pour leur vouer une telle haine .....J'approuve totalement vos analyses sur ces évènements .

Well said, Stogie!

This post is a keeper. As I noted over on my blog today, the left's reaction is similar to that of 9/11 --- "a thousand Mogadishus" and later the "truthers."

This is 1/8/11. And I won't forget. Progressives hit bottom and they still find a way to dig through. It's utterly despicable.

SATAN IS REAL AND NEEDS "USEFUL IDIOTS' LIBERALS ARE ALL INSANE.

Donald, thanks so much!

Bro, yes, we know! :)

You're correct - the left ARE our enemies.

And here's just how low-class they are:

The division is America is a gaping chasm. And the media diligently work to widen that chasm.

Stogie: May I quote this in full over at TCOTS [with appropriate linkage, of course]?

"Libel" is in print. "Slander" is verbal.

Krugman PRINTED his blood libel.

Still, bad behavior in either case.

Our fellow co-inhabitants of the United States of America of the Left are pushing the acceptable boundaries of political behavior in a democracy these days.

The most hopeful sign is that fewer and fewer are dependent on the MSM for their information about the world.

I really see a civil war happening at some point. I don't wish for war, but we're just not compatible.

"I do not see the American Left as fellow citizens, I see them as sworn enemies for whom I feel little or no commonality or fraternity."

You know when the left is saying the divisive rhetoric has gone to far?

This is kinda what they mean.

We're all friends here homie.

I feel a similar disconnect as you and I posted similar thoughts only days apart after this latest liberal hemorrhage of civility.

Modern liberalism doesn't want your compromise; they want your surrender. Pelosi and the Corruptocrats proved that.

Bill said...

Philosophically, you're right on the mark. The Left are not mere opponents in debate; they are the enemy – the enemy of free people, the enemy of independent individuals everywhere. It doesn't matter that the Left appears in the form of Fascists, Socialists, Communists or of some authoritarian religion, the Left is the implacable enemy of the free. And we the free, are dwindling today. There is not much time left to act before a new Dark Age is upon us.

Bill said...

Btw, Saberpoint, in the spirit of reform, let's spell it right: Sabrepoint!

Bill
A Canadian that can spell right!

Anonymous, the Left causes the great divide by their reckless slander, hatred and lies, and when those slandered react, they say, "Oh, this is kinda what we mean."

What hypocrisy!

Project much?

Stogie said...

R Stanton, no I don't think so.

Skunkfeathers said...

However it's spelled (Saberpoint/Sabrepoint), the column is smack on point.

The more vehement the Left gets, the more adamant to stand against it I get.

Stogie said...

Skunkfeathers, I was perusing your blog just last night. As for the spelling of Saber Point, I believe Sabre is the British and Canadian way of spelling it.

Thanks for the comment!
