Gateway Pundit finds that the ultra-leftist Daily Kos web site put a bulls-eye on Gabriell Giffords for being too conservative.
Who to primary? Well, I’d argue that we can narrow the target list by looking at those Democrats who sold out the Constitution last week. I’ve bolded members of the Blue Dogs for added emphasis.
[…]Not all of these people will get or even deserve primaries, but this vote certainly puts a bulls eye on their district. If we can field enough serious challengers, and if we repeat the Donna Edwards and Joe Lieberman stories a few more times, well then, our elected officials might have no choice but to be more responsive. Because if we show them that their AT&T lobbyist buddies can’t save their jobs, they’ll pay more attention to those who can.
p.s. Four Blue Dogs voted to protect the Constitution — Baron Hill (IN-09), Mike Michaud (ME-02), Loretta Sanchez (CA-47), and Mike Thompson (CA-01). They apparently realized that being supposed “moderates” didn’t necessitate selling out to Constitution for George Bush’s imperial presidency.
Guess whose name appears in bold in the list of people with bulls-eyes on their districts? Gabrielle Giffords.
A screenshot of the original post is here. I expect it will be pulled soon, like the other Daily Kos post about Gabrielle Giffords being “dead” to the author after voting against Nancy Pelosi.
What about target maps?
Liberty Pundits found that the Democrats also use maps with targets on them.
This is spite of the fact that Paul Krugman says that the left never uses maps with targets on them. (H/T Nice Deb)
In the past, have people on the left been civil?
Consider this post from Michelle Malkin that is a HUGE collection of tons of hateful, threatening and/or violent things that the left has done in the last 10 years. (H/T Mary)
Here’s the table of contents of the post:
- I. PALIN HATE
- II. BUSH HATE
- III. MISC. TEA PARTY/GOP/ANTI-TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE HATE
- IV. ANTI-CONSERVATIVE FEMALE HATE
- V. LEFT-WING MOB HATE — campus, anti-war radicals, ACORN, eco-extremists, & unions
- VI. OPEN-BORDERS HATE
- VII. ANTI-MILITARY HATE
- VIII. HATE: CRIMES — the ever-growing Unhinged Mugshot Collection
I caution you about looking at Michelle’s post, although I would call it a must-read if you can handle it. It is all death threats, vulgarity and vitriol from top to bottom. I am talking about guns pointed at the heads of Sarah Palin and George W. Bush, violence, fake blood, signs with death threats. Really sick stuff.
What about Obama? Isn’t he civil?
Excerpt:
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama in July 2008
“We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us.” Obama to Latinos, October 2010
“I think it’s tempting not to negotiate with hostage takers, unless the hostage gets harmed. In this case the hostage is the American people and I was not willing to see them get harmed,” Obama on keeping taxes from increasing, December 6, 2010
“A Republican majority in Congress would mean “hand-to-hand combat” on Capitol Hill for the next two years, threatening policies Democrats have enacted to stabilize the economy,” Obama, October 6, 2010
“Here’s the problem: It’s almost like they’ve got — they’ve got a bomb strapped to them and they’ve got their hand on the trigger. You don’t want them to blow up. But you’ve got to kind of talk them, ease that finger off the trigger.” Obama on banks, March 2009
“I want you to argue with them and get in their face!” Barack Obama, September 2008
“I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!” Obama on ACORN Mobs, March 2010
“We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick.“ Obama on the private sector, June 2010
Do you ever remember Bush using rhetoric like that? Me neither. Because he wasn’t that kind of guy.

This is from Paul Krugman, an award-winning economist for The New York Times. And yes, I agree with him:
“Let’s not make a false pretense of balance: it’s(toxic rhetoric) is coming, overwhelmingly, from the right. It’s hard to imagine a Democratic member of Congress urging constituents to be “armed and dangerous” without being ostracized; but Representative Michele Bachmann, who did just that, is a rising star in the G.O.P.
And there’s a huge contrast in the media. Listen to Rachel Maddow or Keith Olbermann, and you’ll hear a lot of caustic remarks and mockery aimed at Republicans. But you won’t hear jokes about shooting government officials or beheading a journalist at The Washington Post. Listen to Glenn Beck or Bill O’Reilly, and you will.”

PS: Paul Krugman is more than just an award-winning economist: He is a professor of Economics and International Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, Centenary Professor at the London School of Economics, and an op-ed columnist for The New York Times. In 2008, Krugman won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for his contributions to New Trade Theory and New Economic Geography.

I understand all that, but I do think that you should be aware that not everyone thinks he is the bee’s knees.

Michelle’s post didn’t tell me anything new. People of the left are GENERALLY more hateful than those on the right. Sure, the right makes jokes about the left, you know, jabs here and there, but I hardly ever encounter a person of the right that is so full of anger/hate toward anything. Now, there are black sheep in every group or ideology, not everyone on the right is peachy, I know that, but there are more close-minded, hateful, and defensive personalities on the left. This post proves it because one would be hard-pressed to find such a collection of hate-spewing conservatives. If there is such a collection then I will admit I’m wrong, until then, my opinion stands.
