Michelle Malkin » The progressive “climate of hate:” An illustrated primer

[Update 1/09/10 10:29pm:In response to some legitimate criticism of the structure of the post,( I believe “incoherent” was the word used),I intend to edit & clarify the post,& update it by tomorrow evening.In the interim,it can be used as a list of links to past vitriolic attacks on the Right by some on the Left.These attacks did not seem to lead to the same level of concern,which we see today,about
whether harsh rhetoric could lead to violence.(Though some on the right did).Indeed,I seem to recall many on the Left expressing the view that not only was dissent not unpatriotic,It was inherently patriotic,(essentially regardless of the context).
I also do not recall any efforts by the right to have the Government suppress criticism.
As you can see in the links below,(as well as the photos at the bottom):there were numerous calls for Bush’s death,& Cheney’s death,torture etc.(in some cases from prominent individuals).Recently we have seen misogynistic filth from Playboy,directed towards conservative women.
During the election many people,(including myself),rightly condemned racist attacks on Obama,(showing him eating a watermelon),yet there was also a “rape joke” about Palin,as well as vile T-shirts attacking her.

The list of invective,some of it openly advocating & justifying violence is quite long.(See the links)

NOTE:NSFW (Not Safe For Work).I cite some extremely vile content. I am unable to position or caption the photos.

There are those on the Right who regard the Left as consisting of a gang of sociopaths who seek to exploit human suffering in order to achieve power over others. Some on the Left seem determined to prove them right.
No sooner had word broke of the Giffords shooting there were those on the Left seeking to ascribe blame for this horror to a particular ideological group.
How soon they forget.Or perhaps they think the smears,& violent fantasies(listed below),as well as actual crimes motivated by Leftist ideologies are morally justifiable.

Shooting Takes on Political Overtones – Washington Wire – WSJ

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2011/01/08/giffords-shooting-takes-on-political-overtones/

….”New York Rep. Steve Israel, who heads the Democrats’ campaign arm in the House, issued a statement to say, “This is both a personal tragedy and a tragic reminder that we cannot remain silent when political rhetoric turns violent.” ….

RRD:Never let a crisis,or the shooting of your colleague,go to waste.
Even if it were true that the shooter were ideologically motivated (which I don’t believe),what of it? The Unabomber was ideologically motivated.
Bill Ayers was ideologically motivated.
James Lee was ideologically motivated.
The only person responsible for this crime is the shooter himself.
Unless,(as I believe),he is insane,in which case no one is to blame.If rhetoric killed people,the left would have killed Bush a thousand times over,(as I show below).Based on their silence when vitriol was poured out against the right,I can come to no other conclusion other than that their outbursts are a dispicable attempt exploit Giffords’ shooting to intimidate their critics.It may even presage a attempt at censorship.

RRD: Let us evaluate the “politics” of the alleged shooter.

Giffords shooter was apparently insane theneointellectual

More evidence of Laughner’s insanity,more bizarre videos.

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2011/01/arizona-shooter-jared-laughner-a-certified-nut.html

RRD:I take issue with Geller’s assertion that he is a “Lefty nut”.He is not a “Lefty nut”,he is not a “Righty nut”,he is a nut,nut.

Anyone who posts these types of incoherent videos,(in which he babbles about B.C. & B.C.E. & A.D. & A.D.E.,)is certifiable.(Incidentally,22 is about the age that schizophrenia kicks in.But that is only a hypothesis)

Ascribing a political motvation to this man is as absurd as blaming Catcher in the Rye for John Lennon’s assasination.
This man is not even “crazy” in the sense of a Unabomber,or Mcveigh,he is literally insane.

Having addressed that canard,let us take a stroll through memory lane,shall we?
First to those who object that my post is “unbalanced” because I don’t include examples of right-wing extremism,I would reply that “I AM EQUAL TIME”,(as Rush Limbaugh says).By this I mean that I am well aware of the statements of crackpots on the right,but my purpose in writing this is to counter the hypocritical pomposity of those on the Left who seek to exploit this atrocity.

This list is by no means exhaustive.I apologize if I left anyone out.

First the Criminals:

In addition to the Unabomber,who needs no introduction,we have James “filthy human children” Lee.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2098291/posts

…..”At a 1969 “War Council” that helped launch the organization, Dohrn raised three fingers in a “fork salute” to Charles Manson, whom she proposed as a revolutionary inspiration. She went on to joke about Manson’s victims and dubbed them the “Tate Eight” after Sharon Tate, the pregnant actress whom members of the Manson tribe stabbed in the womb with a fork. “Dig it,” said Dohrn at the time. “First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!” ….
