Tea Party-Bashers Gone Wild

by Michelle Malkin - August 5th, 2009 - Townhall.com

The activist Left can't stand competition. Last week in Long Island, N.Y., opponents of the Democrats' government health care takeover legislation outnumbered Obama supporters 10 to one. The Tea Party activists toted American flags and signs that read "WE CAN'T AFFORD FREE HEALTH CARE" -- prompting one foe to stalk into the peaceful crowd, gesticulate wildly and shout unintelligible threats at the top of his lungs.

The same Democrat Masters of Astroturf [fake grass roots] who encouraged their followers to use "in-your-face" tactics during the campaign season now balk at vocal opposition from their fiscally conservative neighbors and co-workers.

No, showing up at a congressional town hall and booing a talking points-programmed political hack isn't "civic vigilantism." Throwing rocks, pouring cement on train tracks, blocking military shipments, smashing windows, hurling paint, slashing tires, vandalizing businesses and throwing shoes are vigilante acts.

That is what the anti-war, anti-free trade, anti-Bush mobsters did over the last eight years -- and there wasn't a peep about those brute tactics from Obama's blogging pals.

I can remember when I was working at Republican headquarters and the liberal hate mongers used the tactic of spitting on the back of your neck as a way to incite a response. They thought it funny because done behind your back you could not tell who did it. Yet if you did anything similar their crowd would go berserk.

The outrageous double standard and hypocrisy of Democrats has long been known by the right. Yet it does not matter to the main stream media (MSM). Republicans are not 'protesters', they are a mob. Republicans are not 'outraged', they are thugs. Republicans are not 'volunteers', they are stooges.

The liberal press, what I call the MSM, are the biggest bigots of all because they support this liberal hypocrisy with a straight face, completely ignoring their own complicity. Michelle's title is rather tit for tat since the left has been insisting that Tea Party supporters have 'gone wild'. If the bashers have 'gone wild' too, maybe everyone has 'gone wild'?
