Posted ’cause all of us are feeling this sort of sentiment from the left these days:
Some nice notes about last night’s Larry King Live. But, as ever, the hate mail is so much more dramatic (bowdlerizing asterisks mine):
Subject: u r a f****n JEW hick
Saw you on Larry King calling the director of ACORN a liar! you f****n hick!!, who the HELL are you? don’t be mad because you and the other “NEOCONS” are gonna LOSE this election, stick a sock in it! u bastard!! you might as well face it
A CHANGE IS COMING!! and his name is BARACK OBAMA!!
U BETTER NOT GET IT TWISTED!
I kind of like being called a “Jew hick.” I’d love to hear the horah played on banjos, wahsboards and spoons!
I’ve noted that as the election nears and the left asserts that it is more and more confident of victory, we get nastier and nastier comments from the left – you’d figure that the prospect of overwhelming victory would mellow them out and make them more tolerant of us…but, nothing doing; the hatred grows apace. Do keep in mind, lefties, that if you do win its not like you’re going to be able to set up a Dictatorship of the Proletariat…we do retain powers in this land and we’re not just going to roll over and play dead…so, if you want a honeymoon period, you’d better start behaving. Of course, more important in all this is the necessity of adhering to my Political Rule #1: Look at what people do, not what they say.
The hatred being spewed from the left and Obama’s last-minute attempts to stuff the ballot box and deploy legions of attorneys to battle ground States indicates that not all is well in lefty land – that, just perhaps, there is a growing realization three weeks out from Obama’s coronation that he’s yet to seal the deal and, indeed, there is still plenty of time and chances for McCain to take this thing away from The One. America has been and remains a center-right political entity and even if there is a choice for Obama it will be a reflection of a distaste for the GOP rather than a rejection of individual liberty and a hankering for Euro-trash socialism. Obama and his minions will, of course, view an Obama victory as carte blanche to advance a hard left agenda and that will be their undoing – but the “nuts and bolts” political operatives of the Democratic party know better, and are pulling out all the stops to try and drag Obama’s leftist carcass over the finish line.
I do believe that it will fail, in the end – that on January 20th, much to the dismay of the left, John McCain will be sworn in as President of the United States. Could I be wrong? Of course. Am I predicting it as a certainty? Of course not – only a fool would make such a bald-faced prediction at this point…but I do believe that when push comes to shove, the basic good will and common sense of the American majority will come out on top, and John McCain will win.
