Weiner Flashback and a Lack of Civility





I’m as sick of hearing about disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner as anybody, but in the midst of it all,  I remembered something that happened over a year ago. In March of 2010, Congressman Weiner’s office was sent a suspicious package of white powder. While being interviewed about the incident, Rep. Weiner proceeded to throw the blame at Governor Palin. He said:

When Sarah Palin uses gun analogies and gun imagery when she makes her political point, she may believe that she’s engaging in metaphor. But there are too many people who have twisted minds who might think that she’s being literal. What might seem as an obvious metaphor for some people may seem like an invitation for someone else.

Earlier that day, the pervert who represents New York’s 9th district, had given another interview to a CBS affiliate in which he also stated that Governor Palin was “inciting violence” against Democrats. That interview has since been removed from the affiliate’s webpage.

Now, months after the left’s blood libel against Governor Palin in the wake of the shootings in Tuscon, it’s interesting to see how long the left had been trying to marginalize Governor Palin as some sort of extremist. The attacks the governor endured after that horrible day were no accident. The professional left had been waiting for an incident to pin on Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, or both, for some time. Mr. Weiner proves this by quickly blaming Governor Palin in his own case, before any facts were known.

Shortly after the tragedy in Tucson, the left and all who encompass it, declared that a lack of civility and dangerous political rhetoric were somehow the culprit. President Obama flew into the area to hold a campaign-style “memorial service,” and pronounced that a new era of political discourse was warranted in our country.

Fast forward to June, 2011…

Proving once again that the left views everything within the context of how it will affect them politically, their calls for “civility” were short lived. On Monday, a “comedian” by the name of Chris Titus was recorded saying the following on the Adam Corolla Show:

“You know what man? I am going to literally — if she gets elected president, I am going to hang out on the grassy knoll all the time, just loaded and ready — because you know what? It’s for my country. It’s for my country. If I got to sacrifice myself, it’s for my country.”

In a piece about Titus’ comments posted over at HotAir, Cassy Fiano wrote:

And as you can hear in the video, the audience’s response was to laugh. Apparently, joking about assassination is A-OK as long as it’s someone like Sarah Palin. Yet somehow, it’s the right that supposedly needs lessons in civility. I guess we just don’t understand that it’s perfectly acceptable to murder someone for their political beliefs, so long as the murderer is a liberal and the victim is a conservative. No wonder these morons idolize people like Che Guevara.

[...]

So much for civility in politics.

Indeed.

The hypocrisy and insincerity of the left knows no bounds. Like 99.9% of Conservatives, I didn’t believe them when they called for a different discourse. We knew what they were doing the whole time. From a freakish man, who obviously has no trouble telling outrageous lies to your face, like Anthony Weiner – to a talentless, smack spewing scab like Chris Titus, the left’s character deficiency is at an epidemic level. The calls for “civility” were bunk, and the insinuation that Governor Palin was promoting anything other than pro-American, commonsense conservatism, was absolute garbage. It may take time for the Chris Tituses and Anthony Weiners of the world to reveal themselves (no pun intended) but eventually, they will.

    This man needs to be investigated for hate speech but will that happen?  Silly me, what was I thinking, he’s leftist after all.

      It was much more than hate speech.

      At the very least, it was a solicitation – not the first – to murder, the murder of a specific person, Governor Sarah Palin.

      It was certainly a threat, again a specific one, with the victim named.

      Freedom of speech? -Nonsense!

      Comedy? – That is no comedy!

      Can one rise in a cinema and scream,”Fire!”.

      Then, after the stampede, and the ensuing mayhem, proclaim to police:”Hey, I was only joking!”

      This creep should be arrested and charged, now!

      He would be for sure if he had said that of a democratic politico, rest assured!

        Similar speech directed at Obama would certainly merit a visit from the FBI, if not an actual investigation, and rightly so.

    Chris Titus will be hearing from the Secret Service as soon as Sarah wins the nomination. Heck, with a stupid mouth like that, maybe Mr Titus will solve the problem himself.

      I feel he should be investigated now.  That was definitely a threat and an invitation to murder Sarah Palin.

    That Democratic Congressman Weiner should seek to exculpate himself from his filthy, sordid and quite possibly criminal misconduct, by dragging in the name of Governor Sarah Palin – as did also Barbara Walters on The View – too much even for Joyce Behar! – who actually upbraided her for it – that these leftwing scumbags  should resort to such  defamatory references to Governor Palin and somehow cast her as the cause of their vile transgressions is so outrageous as to be simply mindboggling!

    I have said this and I will keep on saying it till I  breathe my last:

    The left is evil!

    Evil!

    This is not a mere disagreement about budget deficits, about the national debt, as those “fiscal conservatives” want us to believe:

    This is – we are engaged in – a struggle for the very soul of this country!

    The very soul of this country, our America, that they want to rip to shreds!

    That is what “transform” means.

    The left is evil, and the evil is endemic to them, it goes from the very top to the very bottom, and it rises from the very bottom to the very top.

    Evil is who and what they are, all of them.

    The left is utterly without a moral compass,  there is no differentiation between right, and wrong, between good, and bad, between decency and obscenity.

    For them, anything goes.

    Even murder, which they have openly solicited – in print even.

    Salon Magazine.

    With impunity.

    There can be no compromise:

    It is us, or them.

    To those naive souls who doubt that it has come to this, I say:

    Wait to see what happens if Obama gets a second term!

    I’m thinking the only way Palin and her family will be safe is to be President where they will have secret service protection 24/7.

      Reagan had it, so did JFK.

      Both were shot, JFK fatally, Reagan very nearly so.

      No such thing as total protection, believe me.

    I thought that threat to harm anybody, iincluding a politician, is a crime?  Is there anyway that this threat can be referrd to the cops or FBI? A threat is a threat. He claims to be joking but who knows? The fact that he is saying this is a sign he is unhinged, as typical liberal democrats are!

      You mean refer it to Holder?

      You must be kidding.

    Some times I wonder about focus and priorities. 

    Yesterday James Carville is on CNN talking about ” civil unrest” if the economy does not improve or worsens.

    And looking at todays web, the chatter is still on Paul Revere and Weiner. No wonder this country is in a mess.

      Comments like Carville made, “predicting” unrest – he meant violence – are actually exhortations to democraic thugs around the country to do just that:

      Commit acts of violence.

      In democratic jargon, “predict” actually means, “go ahead”, do it. 

      It is naked incitement to violence, not a prediction of violence.

    The dems are a party of “no standards” thus they can’t be held responsible for anything, nor do they think there should be any consequences for any of their actions.  That is why they can stoop to threatening violence, inciting violence, or spew all their usual vile comments about whomever their chosen target of the day is, safe in the knowledge that the media will give them a pass every time.

    PAWlenty was on CNBC just a moment ago touting his tax proposals, and he said that “the field is pretty much set now, and he does not believe talk  that anybody else might be coming in later”.

    “Anybody else?” – like whom?

      Yes it is a sordid story and we are all sick of it but what bothers me is no one seems to be bothered about the fact that Weiner, had he communicated with the wrong person could have compromised our national security. He could have been blackmailed to reveal what he might know and now knowing the type of person he is I bet he would compromise this country.Anything could happen at this point – that is what else needs to be said.

        I agree 100%.  And does anyone think that perhaps Clinton was blackmailed?
        More than once? 

        • PCR1

          All of this – Weiner, Clinton, et al – is insignificant as a potential cause for blackmail to what JFK had daily exposed himself to with his maniacal sexual escapades – a hooker a day, almost every day of his presidency, including the night of his inauguration!

          And the press knew all about this, and kept mum!

          Just as they had hid from the American people that FDR was a wheelchair bound cripple.

          Or that he had been waging an undeclared war against Germany, resulting inthe sinking of one U.S. Navy destroyer with all hands, and this in violation of the War Powers Act, which he himself had had inacted specifically to prevent this from happening.

          The press has always shielded Democrats, regardless of the gravity of their transgressions, and their culpability, even when the nation’s security was at stake.

          Nor is Weiner exempted from this preference:the degree of media attention that he has received is nothing at all to what would have happened had he been a Republican.
