From ‘Knuckle-Dragger’ to ‘Traitor’: Democratic Demonization Gets Threatening

Written By : Donald Douglas

You know, it’s bad enough that we have cowardly Congressman Alan Grayson attacking conservatives as “knuckle dragging Neanderthals.” That slur apparently received a warm welcome by the Democratic leadership. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared that Represenative Grayson has no need to apologize, and that’s despite widespread condemnation of Grayson from mainstream quarters. Gloria Borger decried Grayson’s remarks as resorting to the exact same name-calling Democrats claim to denounce. The context for Grayson is Joe Wilson’s “you lie” exclamation during President Obama’s recent address on healthcare. Put aside the fact that the President is a liar and dissembler, it takes an awful lot of gall for Democrats to smear concerned citizens and their elected representatives in Congress as “knuckle-draggers.”

That’s par for the course, though, naturally. As Confederate Yankee so aptly put it earlier this week, “The Real Extremists Are on the Left.” (Leftists at a CBS News blog suggested conservatives should be arrested and shot while “attempting to escape.”)

So it’s no surprise to see the genuinely evil hatred at The Swash Zone blog this week. The blog’s proprietor, (O)CT(O)PUS, has declared a jihad against the “racist” conservative “birthers” and “teabaggers.” See, “THE GRAND INSURRECTION PARTY AND THE POLITICS OF TREASON“:

The party out of power has devolved from the Loyal Opposition Party to the Oppositional-Defiant Party,” and now the “Grand Insurrection Party.” The time-honored art of political compromise and consensus is dead. The GOP has opted out of participatory democracy.

Samuel Johnson once said: “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.” Your humble Octopus disagrees. The U.S. Constitution affords plenty of mud-wiggle room for scoundrels. If patriotism is the first refuge, the First Amendment is the next, where cowards assert their bigotry and stupidity by saying anything they want under Constitutional protection, or so they think. The Second Amendment offers yet another refuge: When reason and civil discourse fail, the malcontents and misfits of the GOP invoke this Amendment to incite others to violence by proxy, or so they think. The fear-mongering, hate-mongering scoundrels of the GOP overlook a fundamental point.

We have the same rights. We won the last two elections. We have a mandate to reverse the failed policies of the GOP whether they like it or not. With each passing day, the GOP has pushed political discourse beyond the fringes of civilization, and the time is long overdue to hold them accountable before more people get killed. I will defend my politics, my principles, and my person with words as I must and with arms (all 8 of them) if necessary. Octopus hath spoken.

If you check that link cited by (O)CT(O)PUS at bottom there, it goes to a site spreading more of the same leftists hysteria and smears surrounding the William Sparkman murder. Of course, as Ann Althouse noted recently – reflecting the view of more reasoned individuals, “I’d say that Sparkman, doing his census work, encountered a criminal enterprise — perhaps a drug lab — out where people thought no one would — or should — be coming around.”

The real crazies are the radical leftists who can’t tolerate passionate dissent. From Barack Obama to Nancy Pelosi, and then on down to the most frighteningly nihilistic elements of the extreme-left blogosphere, the Democratic Party looks increasingly intent to crush the free speech rights of traditional Americans concerned about real, rising threats of Democratic authoritarianism. It’s quite amazing, really.

They just spent 8 years agitating for violence, now they keep at it like broken records now that their so-called utopia has failed to instantly materialize. I wonder how long it will be before they take their rhetoric to the next level?

Nancy Pelosi is a waste of perfectly good DNA. A real credit to the left, and a sad comment on the Government of the US when a crank like her is so close to the Presidency.

The left is welcome to try to become more belligerent and threatening. Bring it on, commies, I'd relish the target practice and exercise. Their halcyon days are numbered.

For the love of gawd, stop talking about it and making your pathetic, little threats. Push your angry little lefty hands away from the keyboard and act on it already.

I've listened to your machismo bullshit for the better part of a decade now and I'm tired of listening to it. Either put some action behind your words or shut the fuck up.

Seriously. I'm begging you. Light the fuse, tough guy.

Given how many racial hoaxes have been perpetrated by the left in an attempt to frame the right, I would not discount the possibility that Sparkman's death was one more such fraud.

Then why the need for votes from the RIght when you control both Houses? SImple, no balls. Afraid to take ownership of health care and cap and trade. No balls.

As far as this Octo mfer, he should remember which side of the aisle supports and practices the 2nd Amendment before he makes threats.

"Go ahead. Skin that smoke wheel and go to work". Ring any bells?

An anti-gun, anti-military wimpy Democrat liberal calls us names. Big-frickin'-deal.

I agree with you….time to separate the men from the boys.

If we're going to have an ideological conflict, it's time to separate the men from the boys, or women from girls….

These are fighting words.

You guys really think this is important?

If you do…grow up.

Knuckle dragger? You have to admit, it's pretty innovative.

Traitor? Hey, isn't that one or the right's favorite words? Why so upset?

Really? You mean you got called traitor when you were cheering for the Iraqui's under Saddam to kill American soldiers in your wet dream wish for another Vietnam? It was accurate.

Now the right speaks out against the socialistic policies of Obamateur, and we are traitors? Free speech bitch, does have consequences. Keep up the inflamatory speaking, leftist. Hope you know a good dentist.

Who was it again that ran the full-page "General Betray Us" ad in the NY Times?

Of course the difference is that conservatives call someone a traitor when they actually, you know, betray the country. Leftists do so mainly when someone dares to criticize Obama.

What crap, conservatives call people traitors who dont agree with them. More whinning from the right, let me get you a tissue.
http://TheNixonTape.Com Dick_Nixon

Why do liberals oppose free speech? Why do Obama's worshippers say it is racist to oppose him?

Hypocrisy from the left, shown every day now in America. The so called "progressive" party will do anything to discredit the message or messenger for any criticism that does not conform with their world view.

Liberals are hypocrites. Next thing you know, the sky will be blue.

No, no more than Wilson pointing out the obvious to Obama during his healthcare speech.

In that case it should be easy for you to list several examples.

Conservatives call people traitors who are acting treacherously. Leftist call people traitors who refuse to fall in line and do as they're told.
