The hateful harbingers of 'change'
I fear for us, these next four years
The hateful harbingers of 'change'
Two of my good lady lawyer friends, smart and conservative and courageous, recently made me aware of just how low some liberals will sink when they are drunk on pyrrhic victory.
Linda Kerns, a tenacious defender of the right to vote, posted on her Facebook page a link to a recent Fox News Story involving Martin Bashir, Charles Krauthammer, and hateful hypocrisy. Commenting on Krauthammer’s appearance on Fox after the election, Bashir quipped to his MSNBC audience that ““Now I need to apologize to any young viewers who may have been frightened by that face.”
“That face” is one that poignantly reflects in its features the peerless courage of a man who was paralyzed while in medical school, completed his Harvard degree, became a certified member of the American Board of Psychology and Neurology and, in his free time, picked up a Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 1987.
Bashir, a British journalist of Pakistani descent, is not the first media liberal to criticize the revered conservative pundit. He is simply the latest, and in his petty and pathetic commentary proves just how unhinged, to borrow a phrase from Michelle Malkin, the institutional Left has become. They are so concerned with tolerance, but find nothing at all wrong with ridiculing a man who lives a daily calvary and neither complains nor seeks justification. I wonder what would happen if I were to make fun of Bashir’s skin color, his funny accent or his foreign status.
Actually, I don’t have to wonder.
And then comes my beloved friend Tara, champion of the unborn and a tireless defender of at-risk children (and a mother of five of her own) who tells me of the craziness she’s seen on Facebook postings, where rabid females wild with the blood lust of electoral victory see fit to make comments like “Paul Ryan is a Douchebag,” “Paul Ryan is Evil,” “Paul Ryan is a Bitch Puppet,” “Republicans are Morally and Mentally Challenged,” and of course the usual liberal catch phrase “Theocracy was dealt a crushing blow yesterday. Let's *keep* it that way.”
I know that conservatives can be offensive. I hate some of what passes for educated punditry on the right. And I am not, I repeat not, a fan of Ann Coulter (who at least, however, knows how to spell.)
But when you see what disgusting things have arisen from the damp, post-election earth, you have to wonder where our country is headed, with such as this in the driver’s seat.
Wonder, and shudder.
scooby - if you want to challenge anyone else's credibility, you must first establish your own. PJ knows exactly what he is doing...he got your attention, didn't he?
Hypocrisy indicates inconsistency - a moving target. You cannot debate with someone who changes his mind all the time.
Miss Flowers, whether you agree with her or not, has been totally consistent in her positions. Even her critics object to her specific points of view.
In the marketplace of ideas, all points of view should be tolerated, exchanged and debated. Personal attacks should not.
And nothing stops you from starting your own blog.
Now of course, some will attack me for being a fan.
I could care less.

The screeching harpie is at it again. No credibility, especially on this subject, until you look in the mirror, first, and call out your role models like Malkin. Are you serious with this rant?! It's about Facebook for crying out loud. Malkin, et. al. have prominent media platforms to spew their equally foul venom. BTW - Christine is Plumber Joe. Who else would comment on posts that have nothing to do with "him" and notice that "he" comments only on posts that directly refer or address the author, using the same thin-skinned, hysterical nonsense the "columnist" does. Flowers is a joke and so is her alter-ego, the reflective and transparent "Plumber Joe".— ChrisElliottWasRight
Well, like Henry Hill says in Goodfellas: Everybody takes a beating now and then.- WasRight- IsWRONG.
LOL
Hope all go out into the sun today.
Happy Veterans' Day to all veterans!— Gendres 
Gendres, wasRight = never right; actually, wasRight is always wrong.— PlumberJoe- Gendres, wasRight = never right; actually, wasRight is always wrong.— PlumberJoe
Romney still has a chance, scooby, because I demand a recount. I might not be on TV, like Flowers, but I'm pretty darn important.- Harris, here comes Benghazi-gate. — PlumberJoe
- Is that what Dick Morris told you? Be gone, wisp! — ChrisElliottWasRight
- Today is a patriotic holiday, Veterans' Day, and it seems few are noticing. As Christine writes, we are still divided and feelings are sharp. But we can move on and let's start by thanking those who gave their blood, sweat and tears to make our nation great.
Listen to this hymn by Sibelius. And let's have peace.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDXNHPeRB0k— Gendres - I may be 'wrong' about Christine/PJ (we'll never know), but I'll never be as wrong or as much of a loser as: "landslide/tsunami". Never. PJ will always be the joke of the comments. Keep on keepin'.— ChrisElliottWasRight
- wasRight, a long time back, before the 16th century, most people were uneducated. They lived lives of quiet desperation. They died young, often hungry. Science and medicine were ne'er existent. The clergy and the aristocracy had it good. And the rest served them in one way or another.
And then, along came July 4, 1776 and democracy was born in America.
You, wasRight, are a throwback to the dark ages. You are basically uneducated, a fool, a jester. You have nothing to contribute. You are a bully, a troll, a rather useless person.
Now you can easily prove me wrong. All you need do is to write something of value. But you won't. You can't. All you can do is mock. Any fool can mock. Only an educated, useful person can contribute meaningful dialogue. Go ahead. Prove me wrong.
— PlumberJoe - HEY! ChrisElliottWasRight, I resemble that remark!
- Fascinating and quite complimentary, mirror images. Day and Night, Right and Wrong, Up and Down, Good and Evil, Right and Left. You and I.
The pendulum went past the apex to a new apex. It will swing back, faster, harder, with more enduring change. Read here, digest well. Krauthammer has spoken. Try hard to understand and profit-

"The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) have vowed to make Starbucks (along with other companies that support same-sex marriage) pay a 'price' in Middle Eastern countries that are hostile to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights."
