Kevin Jackson just leaped to the top of my list of favorite people with this beautiful performance he delivered as he faced off against David Shuster on MSNBC. While David Frum and other PCCs (“Polite Company Conservatives”) would have smiled and nodded politely and unreservedly joined Shuster in denouncing those dastardly conservative extremists for attacking a Civil Rights icon like John Lewis, the supposedly unprecedented portraying of Obama as Hitler and Tea Partiers going on a wave of destruction on Democrat offices across the nation, Kevin Jackson challenged Shuster’s (and the Left-Wing MSM’s) presumption, absent any tangible evidence, that these amazingly convenient stories of Republican violence were true.
Even more gratifying was that Shuster was obviously unprepared for Kevin’s outright rejection of the veracity of these incidents as reported by the Democrats and was left stuttering at Jackson’s pointing out that these “attacks” is far more likely to be the work of Democratic operatives than Republicans. It seems as if every single liberal talking head, from David Gregory to David Shuster is suffering from a form of amnesia which has apparently led them to believe that Barack Obama is the very first President to ever be compared to Hitler by protesters … I believe this is the first time I’ve seen a conservative on TV remind a liberal talking head wailing about the Right’s incivility to President Obama that the Left was even less civil without the media getting the vapors for eight long years when President Bush was in White House. Shuster changed the topic rather quickly, didn’t he?
Quite frankly, it’s about time.
Official Republicandom (especially the RNC) needs to understand that this is how it needs to be until the Democrats abandon their bloody shirt Reichstag-redux tactics.
Simply put, Michael Steele needs to either get on the Sunday morning talk shows and/or call up a Press Conference and put an end to the mincing of words by saying what everyone knows; first of all, the reported yelling and screaming of racial and homophobic epithets at John Lewis and Barney Frank very obviously didn’t happen, and the bulk of these so-called attacks on Democrat offices and threatening calls are being coordinated from Washington DC – and most likely the people responsible have their day-jobs at the DNC.
For all of Shuster and his fellow liberal “reporters” transparent pretense that there is no logic that would explain Democrats staging attacks against their own offices, it’s very obvious that the principal beneficiaries of these attacks would be Democrats. They get their friends in the media to flood the zone with stories of being put in physical danger by Republican opposition (which is supposedly inciting the so-called “violence”) to the Healthcare bill they just passed – Republicans would then be forced to shut up and a politically disadvantageous subject falls off the headlines.
Cui bono? It used to be something journalists asked when covering a story.
In addition to their uncanny ability to hear racist shouting apparently too high-pitched for recording equipment to capture, it would appear that, like all other super-heroes, Democrats also have super-genius super-villains who live to torment them, most particularly in times of political difficulty or when embroiled in some scandal. These brilliant folks are capable of making untraceable threatening phone calls (the FBI can easily have the local phone company identify a calling party), leaving threatening notes that apparently collapse into forensic confounding dust after being read and hurling bricks at plate glass windows without being detected by any security cameras.
Like the Democrats’ constant cries of racism whenever they encounter dissenting opinion, the claim to have received threats of violence and “Death Threats”, to be quickly and unskeptically repeated by friendly operatives in the nation’s media outlets is fast becoming a standard part of the Democrat M.O. to change the subject and get out of trouble. Republicans and Conservative activists are then brought in to face stern demands (sometimes not even thinly veiled as questions) by liberal talking heads to accept responsibility for their rhetoric “inciting” their followers to violence.
It’s very fortuitous that most of the Beltway Press Corps happens to be of the conviction that the typical Republican, someone they’ve never met, is a hair’s breadth away from raping, lynching, murdering and pillaging, isn’t it?
Let’s be honest. 9 or more times out of 10, like the “incident” when a swastika was painted by supposed Right-Wingers on David Scott’s (D-GA) office sign last year, or when Rahm Emanuel started to claim that he had received “Death Threats” when it became clear that he was far more involved in Blago’s selling of Barack Obama’s Senate seat than he’d let on, or the attack on the Colorado Democratic Headquarters in Denver in August, these attacks on Democrat offices and “Death Threat” calls happen at all-too-convenient times and practically no one ever gets caught – the rare exception that did get caught in Denver last year turned out to be a Democrat hiree and activist engaged in what was obviously a false flag operation with evidence pointing to at least one local Democrat party official having some foreknowledge of the “attack.”
If Democrats really want the so-called “Death Threats” and “attacks” on their offices to end, they should simply pick up the phone and call Tim Kaine.

My inbox is full of denunciations, from national and state GOP organizations, individual members of Congress, and leaders of local, state, and federal tea party organizations. I’ve seen video clip after video clip of leaders on the right denouncing violence and asking people to stay within the confines of the political process.
This journalist is either incompetent or dishonest. My money’s on the later, without dismissing the former.

spepper Friday, March 26th at 9:13AM EST (link)excellent idea, sta46– Palin as GOP chairperson– I think in her case, we can easily say “chairlady”– she is certainly that– and that would certainly give her center stage from where to drive the Dems and Obama troopers berserk– we are in desperate need of leaders like her on our side– and she could certainly do no worse than the current holder of that title, Steele– not to mention, put some political distance on her vital stats since the McCain campaign debacle–

peg_c (Diary) Friday, March 26th at 9:43AM EST (link)Relatives heard Steele on Hannity’s radio show Wed. (I missed it) — insufferable platitudes from Steele, not a semblance of a hardcore principle to be heard. The reaction in my family was disgust.
Steele won’t improve. He must be REPLACED.
A lot of us are friends with Kevin Jackson on FB and this is being shared and raved over all over. Shuster is really gaining quite an amusing reputation. Incompetent AND dishonest…and entertaining in a car-wreck kind of way.

The Dems who walked through the crowd
obladioblada Friday, March 26th at 8:55AM EST (link)were quite deliberately trawling for trouble. They have underground tunnels and can get from building to building without strolling through throngs of protesters. A rational person would have avoided a leisurely afternoon walk through a political protest.
Nancy’s over the top laughing, the carrying of the gavel, the arm and arm joviality was the ceremonial taunting of the masses during their victory lap. The 30 minute pep stomping, cheering pep rally at the signing ceremony was more of the same.
If history is an indicator, the perpetrators of the threats and vandalism– assuming some of the reports are not mere vapors– are likely to be Dem operatives engaging in guerrilla political theater.
The majority of the voters oppose them and they are doing their best to foment as much anger and unrest as they can and are using every means at their disposal. This is a strategic effort to create crisis and confrontation.
God help us.
Good analysis. But will it work?
Vassar Bushmills (Diary) Friday, March 26th at 9:20AM EST (link)They’ve been doing this for years. Now that we (the GOP) is onto it, how will they reply?

Over the past year they’ve given us an enormous number of images and soundbites illustrating their heavy-handed arrogance and authoritarian intentions. Americans don’t like that kinda stuff, it makes us angry and rebellious.

renny (Diary) Friday, March 26th at 9:49AM EST (link)Where is he and other truly black conservatives who can speak out and counter the endless lefty “hate” accusations.
I try not to be too political in my classes, but last week I did write some of the followng on the board just so they know some real facts, as I get tired of hearing how “mean” and “uncaring” the right is, while the left allows all the crime and violence associated with drugs because “drugs are cool” and champions idiot rap music that treats women like slaves and promotes the worst any culture can produce:
Democrats were always the party of the South, and when most of the North (by c. 1798) ended official slavery (there was slavery at one time all over the orig. Am. colonies), the Dems. retained what they called the “peculiar institution.”
The Const. really avoided the issue that was later “solved” by the Civil War. In 1820, Congress passed the Missouri Compromise (over MO statehood) through leg. prepared by Daniel Webster (NH) and Daniel Clay (AL) to make states alternating slave and free according to states’ votes. In 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act changed the ability of slaves to free themselves by running away to the North so that Southern slave owners could apprehened “freed” slaves by chasing them North and re-capturing them. Bounty hunters became the method of “finding” runaway slaves but they also kidnapped and captured free blacks that they took South and sold.
Lincoln opposed the 1850 act and made speeches against it.
In 1854, the Republican Party formed as an anti-slavery party and held its 1860 convention in Chicago. Lincoln was voted the Rep. candidate after others could not get a majority vote.
The US then was already fractured by secession (by a Dem. South), and Lincoln had to hire Pinkerton men to escort him through MD/VA to DC, because assassination hits were feared before he was inaugurated.
Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 to free 3.4 million slaves. (As a comparison, slaves in Central and South Am. are estimated at 30-40,000,000.)
Lincoln establisehd the very FIRST national park at Gettysburg in Nov., 1863.
After Lincoln was assassinated, the South responded to its freed slaves by creating the KKK (a Dem. org., as there were no Reps. in the South), Dems. instituted legalized segregation, and defended it for a century. Those lynchings were not perpetuated by Reps.
Teddy Roosevelt (a Rep.) began “conservation” (now called environmentalism) and set aside Yellowstone Park, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon.
In the 1930s, in response to the Great Depression, Frankling Delano Roosevelt passed extensive social legislation including expanded welfare, Soc. Sec., etc. During that decade, the blacks who were Reps. since Lincoln, virtually en masse switched to the Dem. Party.
In 1917, we entered WW I under the leadership of a Dem. pres., Woodrow Wilson. In 1941, we entered WW II under a Dem., FDR.
In 1952, we entered the Korean Conflict under a Dem., Harry Truman.
In 1961, we sent military advisers to Vietnma under Dem. pres., John F. Kennedy. In 1964, we sent 400,000 troops to Vietnam under Dem. pres., Lyndon Johnson.
(And how many times have you heard that Vietnam was Nixon’s war? Nixon ended it.)
The Southern Dems. last gasp was the filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts.
In a miracle of magician sleight-of-hand, since the 60s, the liberal media (and educators) have perpetuated a very successful campaign to turn conservatives and Republicans into rabid and bigoted racists who oppose “freedom” for minorities and “saving the earth” by environmentalism.
Since the 60s, the liberals have turned real history upside down and portrayed Reps./conservatives as racists and bigots, as anti-environmentalists, and warmongers.
The facts do not support the propaganda, and educated college students shouldn’t either.
Wow that was excellent

Money quote
tdpwells Friday, March 26th at 10:45AM EST (link)The best statement by Jackson was the one at the end that literally rendered Schuster speechless – that he’d never seen a lynching at a tea party, but boy the Democrats sure knew how to lynch somebody. It’s amusing when someone throws the Dem’s party history in one of their minion’s faces for all of us to see.

Liberals and their "useful idiots" in the media
Michael M. Keohane (Diary) Friday, March 26th at 2:55PM EST (link)count on the fact that most people do not pay much attention to politics. It is easy to conceal and/or distort facts if the audience is ignorant.
Prior to the interrnet, bloggers and the cell-phone with audio/video capabilities, the “useful idiots” in the MSM could and did distort the truth almost at will. Even if some people knew the facts, there was no way to communicate the truth.
That is changing – there is no chance that some of the past media “drive-by shootings” would work today. It was so easy in the past.
In the 1965 campaign for mayor in New York City, there was a story on the Saturday before the election about twenty-two political storefronts vandalized and a number of cars with political signs and/or bumper stickers having their tires slashed. The thrust of the story was that this was the work of those right-wing supporters of William F. Buckley.
After the election, the truth came out – twenty-one of the vandalized storefronts were Buckley storefronts and all of the vandalized cars were driven by Buckley supporters. The reporter responsible for the story became Mayor Lindsay’s press secretary.
Dan Rather and Mary Mapes got in trouble because of bloggers pointing out the fact that the documents were fake and publicizing that fact on the internet. The recent charges against some “Tea Partiers” has been countered by the multiple audio/video recording made by “Tea Partiers” with their cell-phones.
It is a new ball game and the “useful idiots” of the MSM can’t control the flow of information.
As more people become computer literate and oriented, the vast gap between what the MSM deems newsworthy and what the public would deem newsworthy becomes more apparent.
Any bets that, after investigation, some of these acts of vandalism wil turn out to have been the acts of Democratic activists.
Do not classify the words or deeds of your opponents as being hatefull, malicious or criminal in nature if they can also be easily characterized as simple ignorance or gross stupidity. Anon.
