They really have no shame:
A handful of liberal groups — but only a few dozen protesters — marched on the Republican National Committee offices Thursday to denounce the threats against members of Congress during the health care vote…
…The main message of the liberal groups was that the RNC and Republican leaders in the House and Senate should more actively target individuals engaging in violence and racism nationwide and denounce it publicly.
The groups involved are MoveOn, Color of Change and CREDO. We need not spend time on MoveOn as that group is will known for its nastiness – but what of Color of Change and CREDO?
Well, Color of Change is a Katrina “truther” outfit co-founded by Van Jones. Yes, that Van Jones – the communist Obama was forced to toss under the bus.
As for CREDO, their “final four” for “the most malevolent forces in American politics” are Fox News, TEA Party, Mitch McConnell and Blackwater.
You get the picture – the kookiest of the kook left. And here they come, demanding apologies for things which didn’t happen. It wouldn’t be bad if it was just the kook left – but they are taking their cue from the Democrat leadership (or the Democrat leadership is taking theirs from them).
A toxic brew has been made – and it was made by the Democrats because they wanted to beat President Bush in 2004 and figured that his stature had to be brought down by attacking the mainspring of his popularity – his conduct of the War on Terrorism. For the narrowest of political ends, Democrats have unleashed on the American body politic the paranoid ravings of the worst of the left.
If you go about making accusations that the NSA’s signals intelligence program is “domestic spying”. If you back up the false claims of a mountebank about his trip to Niger. If you watch Fahrenheit 9/11 and aren’t immediately disgusted by its dishonesty. If you do this sort of thing, then you’ll eventually get leftist groups marching on the RNC to complain about things which never happened – which only happened in the sick minds of leftist activists.
And now the Democrats are stuck – if they denounce these kooks, they’ll look like fools and suffer losses on the left. If they don’t denounce them, then centrist will be increasingly turned off. Caught between a rock and a hard place – and if they had just been honest, it never would have happened.
