Sticks & stones may break our bones but slander will make us vote

By Dave Weinbaum



http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Remember Tucson ? Jared Laughner went on a shooting bender and savagely murdered six and wounded many, including his main target, Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. Never mind his incessant stalking of Gifford. Local Sheriff, Clarence Dupnik, responsible for the safety of the citizens in his jurisdiction, went ballistic, post attack. Did he rage against Loughner? NO! Did he blame lack of personnel/weapons/logistics? NO! Did his posse call in sick? NO!

Aping his idol Obama, the bad sheriff couldn't wait to get on a mike and declare the likes of Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck to be guilty of mass murder and hate crimes.

He wasn't alone. Most of the Lib press followed his lead. Paul Krugman couldn't wait to file his toxic hit orders on talk radio icons and conservative politicians. Our president used a memorial service as a campaign opportunity and pled with Rodney King logic, "Can't we just get along?" Barack blamed radical talk from both sides, but failed to point out the total culpability of the left and the President's own hate talk. I didn't hear one talk radio host, politician or Tea Partier blame the rhetoric of the left for Loughner's mayhem.

Now we have the continued spectacle of the blamers-in-charge calling innocent American citizens concerned about the Socialist direction their country is being driven. They are called:


  • Terrorists

  • Kidnapers

  • Hillbillies (Jewbilly for me)

  • Hoosiers (Joosier for me)

  • Rednecks

  • Saboteurs

  • Nazis

  • Racists

  • Christians


I might note that as a Jew and proud Tea Partier, I've been subjected to the occasional "dirty Jew" comments on my radio show and blithering anti-Semitism on the Web.

And worst of all? BIG CORPORATIONS LOVE US! Oh the shame! I'm still waiting for our check from the Koch bros!

"You cannot have failure and tell people they want more." Pat Cadell, Democratic Pollster on President Obama

You may ask why the left want to demonize the Tea Partiers. After all, shouldn't they be able to sell the American public on the sober direction of their policies and point to their successes?

LOL! Sorry, but these days you have to take chuckles where you find 'em.

The answer is it's precisely why the left does most of the defamation. Their policies, when you can actually drag them out of hiding, are hideous. It's a lesson we first learned under FDR, then forty years later under Jimmy, and now, coincidentally, forty years later under Obama.

They're like the cicadas of the insect world who appear every 13 years to a screeching but brief life. Their purpose is to bury another batch of eggs. Like clockwork, they hatch into another screaming crop of insects exactly 13 years later.

As articulate as President Obama is, he can only explain with blame. Tea Partiers, earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, floods, nuclear disasters, Lady Gaga's sudden drop in popularity, foreign wars, Congressionally approved or not, and the plague of ant flatulence in Australia are all credited with his failure. Claiming he'd be responsible and accountable was only done to GET elected. Blaming events and others is meant to get him elected again.

Obama's dilemma is we have the YouTubes.

Different day, SOS

Dear Leader, the man, the legend, the Messiah, AKA President Downgrade is incapable of pointing his golf-blistered finger at the real enemy of the American economy. HIM! Look:


  • Nobody forced him to run for President-well maybe he was encouraged by his selectors, Louis Farrakhan, Father Pfleger, Reverend Wright and George Soros.

  • Nobody forced him to appoint scholastic imbeciles to run our economy who had no practical experience in the private marketplace.

  • Nobody forced him to shove two trillion in stimulus dollars down our throats, guaranteeing unemployment wouldn't breech 8%. Gee, how'd that work out?

  • Nobody forced him not to insist the Dem-ruined--I mean--run Congress prepare and present a budget for almost three years now.

  • Nobody forced him or his AG, Eric Holder to use race and class warfare to demonize law-abiding citizens.

  • Nobody forced him to mimic DNC talking points that the recent kerfuffle in our economy was due to those savage rightwing radicals, the Tea Partiers.


"The anger out there is palpable!" Pat Cadell

Finally, nobody forced him to pass Obamacare-a 2,700-page bill whose main funding apparatus is mandating citizens pay premiums 'til death. This fiasco legislation has since been rendered unconstitutional in two appellate courts. That'll probably be a couple 100 billion more in cost or, for the grace of G-d, kill this monstrosity altogether.

It's too bad all Dem efforts seem to be keeping power by demonizing and separating rather than doing what our founders taught us--keeping a low-profile nonintrusive government.

One thing I can tell you is come election time, there are a lot of people who aren't going to forget what the President and his party have called us. As I've done in recent radio shows and this column, I'm going to remind them of the slander from on high. Come November 2012, to coin Reverend Wrights' words:

OBAMA'S CHICKENS WILL "…HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST!"
