With all the tales in the Old Media of the supposed violence committed by Tea Partiers going on since Obama’s takeover of our nation’s healthcare system, I thought it might be instructive to recall how hate-filled the unhinged left is in America today.

A year ago, the good folks at Zomblog assembled a great series of photos showing the mental derangement exhibited by the human detritus at those once ubiquitous anti-war rallies that the distempered left hosted so often between the years 2003 and 2009… you know, those anti-war rallies that totally disappeared after Obama took office even as the wars rage on? Yeah, those anti-war rallies.
Why was no one ever arrested for threatening President Bush at protests, when they displayed signs in public that called for his death?
Many readers may naively think, “The answer is obvious: no protester was ever arrested for threatening Bush at a protest because no one ever threatened him at a protest. Who would be that stupid? I certainly never heard of any such threats.”
Alas, if only it were that simple. Because the bald fact is that people threatened Bush at protests all the time by displaying menacing signs and messages — exactly as the anti-Obama protester just did in Maryland. Yet for reasons that are not entirely clear, none of those Bush-threateners at protests was ever arrested, questioned, or investigated (at least as far as I could tell).
In any case, if the left and the Old Media want to pretend that Tea Partiers are nothing but filled with hate, perhaps they should get a look at some of these photos?

Of course, the fact is, none of this “violence” has been tracked to anyone in the Tea Party movement… but let’s not let facts get in the way of the Old Media’s good stories, eh?
As self-interested congressmen try to fool the public into thinking that Tea Partiers yelled the “N” word at them, even as not one shred of proof exists that it ever happened, let’s be reminded of what real hatred looks like…
Let’s start out with a sign that depicts President Bush being hanged.
Then there is this decrepit hippy wannabe saying that Bush should be guillotined.
Some halfwits that imagined that Bush could actually destroy the earth, or sumpthin’.
Plenty more to be found here, here, here, here and here.
And these are just the anti-Bush signs! These photos don’t include the many thousands of signs that announce support of communism, socialism, and other anti-American ideals. These signs also don’t take into account the many thousands of signs at these idiot anti-war rallies that denigrate Jews and come to the aid of the terrorist “Palestinians.” Not to mention that none of the signs pictured above reveals the outright hatred of the entire U.S. as an “imperialist” or as a “terrorist” nation. That would take up dozens of other posts, so I just focused on the Bush Derangement Syndrome placards.

Remember folks, the left is filled with a venomous hate that nearly consumes them. The Tea Party folks are pikers compared to the unhinged left.
And can you remember the Old Media ever publishing these sort of photos during Bush’s eight years in office? Nope, me neither.

Change Bush to O'Bummer in those photos and the signs are now up to date.
The left lives in a world of Gray between right and wrong. The have no moral compass and have and extreme hatred
of boundaries(GOD) unless its the boundaries they set for others.
You also neglected to mention all of the signs that compared Bush to Hitler or Bush to Satan, both of which were more common than the "Kill Bush" signs.
I wonder why the MSM fails to report the lack of arrests after the Tea Party Rally in DC, or how incredibly clean everything was after the Tea Partiers left compared to the number of arrests and how filthy the National Mall was after the Inaguration.
I quit watching the Big 3 propaganda machines long ago, and I get the majority of my news from the Internet and Fox News, the only places I can get truly fair and balanced coverage.
There aren't many "Obama/Biden" stickers on the cars anymore; most people have removed theirs after the disenchantment set in. There are a few holdouts, however, and I've been sorely tempted to pull up alongside, roll down the window and wave at the driver, and in a pleasant "you're tire is flat" tone, tell him or her "hey, did you know you still have an Obama sticker on your rear bumper? I thought maybe you hadn't realized it was still there." I wonder what kind of reaction I'd get. I think I'll have to do the experiment.
I'll keep these handy next time I am asked to condemn actions by the right considered "ugly".
A complete boycott of ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC and CNN by patriots might start to get the message across that we will not be consumers of any more shilling for the Obama administration.
Well, see, according the Lying Leftist Media, hatred and threats against Bush were JUSTIFIED and HIS OWN FAULT….
….whereas Tea Party anger is racist, reactionary red-neck attempts to fight "progress" and hatred of an 'uppity' black man…
…Got it ? – that's the Lying left's game-plan to discredit the Tea Party and Republicans who embrace it, and they are sticking to it…
What should be done; reproduce these signs and put where was the media then? at the top, and proof of media/liberal hypocrisy at the bottom, and bring them to Tea Party protests.
Exactly. Passive leftists preaching violence towards an elected leader doesn't fit there meme, so there is no way they would ever consider reporting it.
I couldn't even scroll down the whole way because it was so hateful.
What was really sad is the child holding Bush's mock tombstone.
Teaching children to hate is probably the saddest and most destructive thing you can do to a child.
Sad and sickening.

That could be dangerous!
Left=Free Speech
Right=HATE SPEECH
Rinse & repeat. After all MSM is union and they tell us so.
The insane asylum was 'left' unattended and, America has been invaded by the crazies! God help us!!!
I am a Canadian appalled at the hypocrisy of the left. I have been wondering though. Is it possible to start a site that lists
"patriotic" companies to do your business with. Or are there legal ramifications in doing so. You need to siphon off the money that flows to the Dems, wether that be GE, GM… I think dollars speak louder than words, "money talks" There are millions of tea partiers, that equals billions of dollars.
What percentage of the people in these pictures wore Che t-shirts to the events? It sure is cool to wear a potrait of a minor league mass murderer as you preach peace through death.
Yeah, I like that. Peace through death. Maybe Al Franken can use that as his next campaign slogan. T-shirts with Che for everyone donating $100. Well, at least Che wrote fiction that was a lot more compelling than anything written by Al.
I wonder if any of those protestors realize that had they been in Venezuela, Cuba, China, Iran, etc. they would have disappeared. Instead, they are probably all drinking frappucinos at their nearest Starbucks while plotting against the evil corporations while waiting to be interviewed by Katie Couric.

Have you ever noticed that most of the hold outs are driving Volvo's or Subaru's?
Agreed. I don't watch ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, or CNN, and it makes a difference because I'm a Nielsen viewer.
only conservatives are patriots? you're an idiot
The moonbats are becoming very angry that we no longer back down from the "racist" and "Nazi" accusations that is merely an Alinsky tactic that they've used for decades. It must be frustrating for them to have nothing left in their ammo closet, although now they call us "violent" and "angry mobs."
It's so laughable and pathetic.
Thank God for the ZomBlog! They keep a whole database of the crap these liberals have displayed for years.
Here's their "Bush/Hitler page" – these lib dipstick freaks are very sad and demented. Many old pathetic hippie losers and young indoctrinated potheads:
http://www.zombietime.com/zomblog/?p=612
My bumper sticker says: "Still voting Democrat? You're stuck on stupid", here in blue Oregon. In the cities, I get the finger. In the country, I get thumbs up…
As conservatives these are the kind of things we must ignore, nothing but simple liberal projection. Remember what our mommies taught us so long ago, “sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will never harm us.” When liberals make stupid statements, just point, and laugh out loud.
Seeing how it's only the leftwing douchetards who watch those networks you mentioned,,,,I'd say the boycott many normal people started back in 2000 is working nicely.
I just heard on Fox News that an arrest warrant has been issued for a 33 year old man that threatened to kill Eric Cantor and his family. How long before the MSM reports on this? What spin will they come up with? This should be good.
Just waiot till 2012, when Republicans take over… You think the Bush years were bad…. you ain't seen nothing yet! The left is gonna go craxzy. Thgey'll be burning down buildings, trashing whole cities. rioting. How will the MSM respopnd? They'll take a very soft tone toward it. The the war protests will regroup. Homeless groups will protest, Americans will be starving, poverty is at an all time high. And it will all be the Republicans fault. 24/7/365 that's all we'll hear. Just wait, it's gonna be crazy! The Left are gonna finnally lose it!
Viewers getting their news from ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, or CNN are idiots. They rally have no clue what's going on. You're right in that that not all liberals watch these channels, but Progressives are not patriots. They only like what America CAN BE under a Progressive regime, not what America stands for (freedom and liberty).
And when your "argument" consists of "you're an idiot", well, guess who really looks stupid. (Hint: It's YOU!)
The Lame Streamers were rabid cheerleaders of G.W. Bush hate. Now they cheer lead for Obama and ignore or vilify the oppostion to their "Messiah". Guess what though, I think "we" are winning.
They're starting to feel the pinch of reduced revenue and many leftist newspapers and broadcast "news" outfits are cutting staff and hunkering down.
A.B makes an appearence on MSNBC, they may be trying to appear to moderate their ultra leftist doctrinaire world view and politic stance.
OR, they're just bullsh!tters and are trying to fool us. I vote "latter".
The only danger faced by interacting with a Progressive milquetoast Obamazombie is boredom. Unless they're throwing trash out of their car windows.
And "I can feel good about myself" Priuses!
While I disagree with some of what Bush has done, but let's face it only a mindless lemming would agree with everything, Bush was and is an honest man who cares deeply about this country, unlike the current president.
You are correct! So be ready.
I think the NEWS is not watched on those networks, but what I would really like to have happen is a TOTAL BOYCOTT of those networks. We need people to give up those other shows they may like: Lost, SNL, American Idol, etc. I personally don't watch any of that stuff because I think it's all garbage (possible exception is "Lost"), but I can see where other people might like their sitcoms or whatever. I would hope people would trade fair reportage and a return to REAL journalism for several months of regular TV programs.
In regards to the media here is a quote that still applies to this day.
"A man who reads nothing at all is more educated than a man who reads nothing but newspapers." ~Thomas Jefferson
You can be a patriot and not be a conservative. As long as you stick to the truth and respect your fellow Americans you're cool.
I once swore an oath to defend the Constitution and the people of the United States. During the swearing no mention of political party or ideology ever occured.
My issue with the MSM and others is the lack of integrity in presentation and the polarization of the populace. NOTE: It's not polarization of ISSUES. It's polarization of PEOPLE. That's WRONG. If you're an American you're still my brother/sister. I respect your opinion and value the freedom that allows you to speak it. This is the Tea Party creed.
Had a converstaion w my husband during C4C about that being just another example of Obama's destructive streak:
-Clunkering otherwise useable cars that could have been sold to those w/o a lot of money
-Abortion: Obama is for late-term abortions and a proponent of letting those children who survive abortions die w/o care or comfort.
-Ezekiel Emanuel's "Complete Lives system", implemented under Obamacare, will shift healthcare monies AWAY FROM those 50 and older (the peoplem who need it most) and TOWARD those in their teens, 20s and 30s. Even young infants will not be given priority.
Obama is a very self-centered and destructive person.
The Tea Party was totally peaceful. The liberal media was lying in wait for the opportunity to attack the Tea Party. The election is nearing and the main stream media is starting to blatantly align itself with the Democratic message machine.

I think Zombie is just one person. I exchanged emails once for a contest they held about a Al Gore. He was holding up one of his latest diatribes, and because of the high gloss cover, and angle of the flash, it looked like a blank slate, so Zombie invited readers to add their own. I even got mine posted.
http://www.zombietime.com/gore_in_marin/al_gores_...
I also followed their coverage of the democratic convention back in 2008. Which leads me to believe Zombie is a female, as one comment posted included how they had to charm their way into the MSM media tent to get WI-FI for uploading images. I don't know a lot of guys who can charm their way into anything, much less a media tent.
I highly recommend following their blog. It's what the MSM doesn't want the rest of us to see about the hard care left.
Glad you're on the spot with this Warner. I'm having the exact same debate on a message board based in my hometown, using the same examples, etc. I have also pointed out that Frank Rich has tried to assign a historical face of racism and violence, to the Tea Parties, when he mentions the aftermath of the 1964 Civil Rights legislation. That's a history that belongs to the Democrats, and Frank Rich is not entitled to his own personal version of history.
Anyway… I think I'm holding my own in the debate.

I don't know, that's pretty close proximity to smugness. Might I suggest a bio-hazard suit. At the very least have a bottle of whiskey and a stack of Clint Eastwood DVD's ready to go when you return so you can talk yourself down.
Just in case.
They probably don't know how to take a bumper sticker off.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_window_fallac...
Rule of thumb. Anyone, or any company, that makes a big deal out of their ideology, is trying to draw attention away from their attempts to rip you off.
Franken already has a campaign slogan "ACORN."
Agreed, Zombie is a very necessary an d useful ally in this fight.
Goes back farther than that, think Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.
That's going to require a whole lot of laughing and pointing.
The left firebombed Sarah Palin's church, firebombed Perry's Governor's mansion in TX, caught red-handed trying to firebomb RNC convention delegates, pipe bombed the military recruiting depot in NY and San Diego, Beat down black tea partier K. Gladney, fake violence by lefty caught red-handed in Denver smashing democrat HQ windows, tried to kill RNC delegates by dropping 50 lb bags of sand on cars from overpass, caught making death threats to FBI informant in MN, students firebombed Chancellors home UC Berkely.
And, who could ever forget the DC sniper, who was a black man whose Islamic beliefs and anti-white rants were suppressed in the media who went on that shooting rampage? He purposely singed out and shot/killed a pregnant white women.
What about the Duke La Crosse players who were Nifonged and falsely accused? How about the cop at the beer summit?
There's much much more — but my hands are getting cramped.
.
In my opinion, the MSM has no more credibility than the actors playing refs in championship wrestling shows.

He gets credit from me for having the balls to finally clean up the mess in Iraq that his cowardly father left to rot.
You do not start a war with out finishing it, because unless its finished its never over. And he had the guts to finally end it.
Heh. Good one. Added to my "notable quotes" file, with thanks.

Hey hey, not all Volvo owners are liberals!
Mine might be the only one with a GOP sticker on it, though
true, true..
But we're talking more here about the advent of electronic (radio, TV) communications. Sanger and Dewey had infitrated/inculcated the educational system and libraries, Lippman trained the Ed Murrows of the day, and so on.
Teddy was a principled Progressive, and the ONLY one we like here. But ultimately his take on governance was wrong as well, and it's why he was run out of office with his subsequent loser Bull Moose party.
Wilson was a corrupt, evil old bastard. One cannot say anything even remotely nice about him…
Just checked it out, keep nailing them. And if you want to you could also point out that Bull Connor and George Wallace were democrats.
Thanks for the concern, but a biohazard suit is generally only needed for Code Pink interactions. Those "ladies" like to spit and throw used tampons.
There's little danger of acute OR chronic overexposure to Obama-induced smug when 1) I am in my Jeep and they are in a weenie Prius or Volvo and 2), the overall bovinus scatologii counts in the atmosphere are at all-time highs.
Whiskey and Eastwood DVDs can be enjoyed for their own sake.
God helps those who help themselves. What are YOU doing to get YOUR candidate into office this election year????
Not only do I boycott those mentioned, I boycott their advertisers as well. It's been hard doing without certain items; but I've learned to deal with it. I'm just one; but it works!
Here's a reminder of what the DC sniper did:
…"Malvo testified that Muhammad, driven by hatred of America because of its “slavery, hypocrisy and foreign policy” and his belief that “the white man is the devil”, planned to kill six whites a day for 30 days.
Malvo alleged that Muhammad had said: “We are going to go to the Washington DC area and we are going to terrorize these people. They then intended to move to Baltimore for stage two of their campaign, to shoot a policeman and then blow up explosives at his funeral."
–This last assertion is exactly what the FBI are accusing the Christian Militia of attempting to do — but did they just rip off the suppressed Malvo script and pin it on a the militia?
.
.
You're right about Frank Rich — democrats were the slave owners and Republicans the anti-slavery party.
–1/3 of the 5000 people lynched were white republicans fighting for civil rights
–the first civil rights act was passed in 1875, exclusively by Republicans
–13,14,15th amendments to the constitution abolishing slavery were all republican actions
–kkk was democratic institution egged on by Woodrow Wilson
–FDR appointed hugo black a KKK member to the supreme court
–George Wallace, Bull Conner and all the whites in the vintage films with fire hoses and dogs were Dems
–MLK, MLK's father, Medgar Evers, Frederick Douglass — all the blacks prior to 1965 were republican
–thousands of free blacks in the South held many more thousands of their own slaves
–the 1960's civil rights movement really began under Eisenhower in the 1950's with Brown vs Board of Ed Republican actions.
Slave owners used to justify slavery by saying the blacks couldn't take care of themselves; and, that's exactly what democrats still say to keep them on the democratic plantation. What a dehumanizing philosophy.
.

I'm voting! Why are you being so mean???
If signs like this in reference to Obama ever showed up at a Tea Party protest, the out-of-the-mainstream media would create a firestorm unlike anything seen since Dresden. The hypocrisy is so thick, it would take a Russian nuclear powered Ice Breaker to cut through it.
You are absolutely spot on correct. Conservatives should start pointing this out now. It will probably be evn worse than you have mentioned!
This is just another Alinsky tactic being used by the far left progressives. They will lie to discredit their opponents. They have no regard to the truth. . If we let them they will have us spending more time defending lies that putting out the message the american need to hear. It is time to make them start defending themselves with the truth. Start to turn the tables on the liberals so they spend all their time trying to defend themselves.

Hey, not all of us Prius owners are liberals. Some of us believe that we can decrease US support to terrorists by getting 50MPG! It's a national security thing! Independence from foreign oil will solve a great deal of our foreign problems.
OK, OK. My bad. I feel the same way when I drive my Honda Nighthawk 250.
But we could STILL be drilling our own oil (instead of letting Russia have what's in the Gulf of Mexico) and building more nuclear power plants (but didn't Obama just shut down Yucca Mtn?)
Is it so much to ask that you give up televised sports for the sake of your country?
Please?
Hey wait, Get it right;
"if you are against OBAMACARE you are a BABY EATING CANNIBAL homophobic RIGHT-WING NUT JOB racist!"
Come on people, STICK TO THE SCRIPT please.
No meanness intended. I want to make sure as many conservatives are out there actively engaged and DOING SOMETHING to help bring about real change, meaning, a return to fiscal and social consevativism. Voting is important, but please go out and help your candidates in whatever way you can, too!
No question that the leftists have started a POGROM against the Tea-Party. I find it VERY telling that Nancy Pelosi, the black congressional caucus, and Pres. Obama kicked off this truly evil campaign of hypocrisy and hate.

ohyea? war is over now? good news, missed that one on FOXSTUFF or whatever
I stopped watch CNN after they aired the sniper killing of an American soldier in Iraq. No other news outlet did that, not even MSNBC. However, I no longer watch TV at all, so am doing my part to put these creeps out of business.
I heard on Laura Ingraham this morning that when dems protest, it's free speech, but when conservatives do it, it's hate speech. I cannot state enough how much I hate liberals.
No, you and your ilk, is what's wrong with this nation.
Isn't that just down right adorable? A new baby troll emerging from it's shell!
Here's a little advice, if you want to pass yourself off as serious on these types of blogs (not just Big sites – but all of these on-line communities), you need know how to work spell checker, and you're going to have to learn basic grammar and punctuation.
Otherwise you will come off as the type of ignorant cave man you are trying to convince us we are, which really defeats your purpose.
We can work on actually having a coherent message, things like logic, reason, facts, etc, once you get that down.
But for now, I think it's nappy poo time for the new baby troll, who's had such a big day! Nighty-night.
Why is it that the people complaining of racism are the ones who are practicing it? Dan Rather, Chris Matthews, Harry Reid, Joe Biden, etc. A very liberal co-worker who is white brought up Obamacare to me, and said "Don't you think that's a good thing? It's time for the white, middle class oppressors to pay for all the evil they've done." I couldn't even speak I was so shocked. White middle class oppressors? How would the middle class oppress anyone or anything? But, if you believe that, a good rational for getting rid of the middle class isn't it? I'm actually still shocked. How did the left get to be so self-loathing? I'm considering suggesting she volunteer in Africa as penance for all the sins she believes white people are guilty of.
"Hate" is a strong word, and that emotion can eat you up – I've learned to accept that to Liberals politics is a game to be won by any means necessary – and I decided that Conservatives should learn to beat them at their own game…using Truth to defeat Lies, Integrity to defeat Corruption, and Humor to defeat Defeatism…
'Teaching people (a child) is so sad"…that is why I love the Islamists that are trying to kill me, I love the commies for taking my country, I love the government for taking my Freedom…do you get it people? Some things/people are meant to be hated!!!!
"The Tea Party folks are pikers compared to the unhinged left." That's a big part of why we have lost so much ground to them. These are Darwidiots–the sky is the limit as long as it means "their team" wins. We have to beat them down with the truth and that requires repeating it far more often and louder than the Goebbelian nitwits have been regurgitating their lies. Their lies have been in place for a long time and old lies die slow, agonizing deaths.

cant wait till nov to see where all this is going.
expecting a fair accounting from the Main Stream Media?…
Why? It has never happened- not in our lifetime. Even backin the day the major networks had a viewpoint, and an agenda- and it was Progressive. Ever since the 30's and the advent of electronic communication the powers who controlled it were all Progs (Walter Lippman, Margaret Sanger, Dewey, etc) so what is now transpiring is more of the same.
Thank the heavens for Roger Ailes…
I went with my father out to a junkyard to buy a replacement glass for a window in his old Suburban. The yard qwas full of "clunker" vehicles condemned by the idiot Obama and Democrats in his incredible stupid "Cash for Clunkers" program.
Several "Obama/Biden" stickers and one "Nader" stickers. These leftists know FREE TAX $$$$$$ when they see it.
That's funny. 'Probably have to fight. That sounds like something I would do.
Fortunately for you, we still have the first amendment, you know, the right to free and unfettered speech. If Obama-lama-ding-dong and his cohorts have anything to say about it, that will be a thing of the past. Good thing for you and others of your kind, we aren't going to let that happen.
No, you're DEFINITELY the idiot here.
Well, the old SNL was pretty good, you know back when they had Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, Gilda Radnor, etal.
We have a whole butt load of DVDs of old TV shows like McHales Navy, the complete series of the Wild Wild West, several Ma and Pa Kettle movies, ect.. Hell, we have DirectTV and there aint a damn thing on that we probably haven't already seen a dozen times already. If it wasn't for the fact we can't get anything without it, the dish would be gone tomorrow.
One picture is worth a thousand hypocracies.

What? Evergreenpeaceful, kumbaya-singing, love-thy-neighbors-wife Lefties inciting violence? Oh, say it isn't so!
Hate speech, or any speech that is aimed at terrorizing, threatening, demeaning, or even objectifying any party, is wrong no matter who it comes from, and is considered by some, by definition, to be a terrorist act. Dwelling on the issue, in my opinion, undermines our ability to rise above it and engage in effective political discourse.
What our nation needs, now more than ever, is for people from all sides to engage in thoughtful, rational and constructive debate… debate for the purpose of hearing others as well as being heard, and with the sincere goal of reaching compromise. On issues where compromise may truly be impossible, perhaps the best we can accept is that powers will swing from one side to another, and attempting to stop this pendulum mean risking finding our own opinions on the side never again visited.
To continue to engage in battles of the extremes, and to attempt to justify them in any way, is to push ourselves as a nation further away from a state in which all may be heard and respected and towards a state in which government, and our nation, may cease to exist. Perhaps the greatest strength of our fore-fathers was in working together to achieve the compromise that would keep this nation together.
Well Ken Durbin, it is obvious that you are a progressive liberal. We on the Conservative side would love the discourse you propose. Trouble is, the left wants us to cede to them on all issues. I'm sure you've heard this before, but in the arena of debate, the Conservative side always wins. That is why you do not want debate, you want our defeat. Here is some news: We are not going into hibernation this time. We are here to stay.
