Those Right Wing Terrorists

This blog has frequently cited Leftists criticizing and chastising Conservatives and Republicans for using violent language during political discourse, especially after the Tucson shooting. Obama is particularly adept at the use of violent language when speaking of political opponents, as I chronicled here. 

Here are just a few of dozens of examples of violent language of the Left. These are the same knuckleheads that excoriated Sarah Palin during the campaign talking about “targeting” specific Democrat districts. Nearly every Dem and media Leftist mouthpiece the past week have used this kind of language.   

Titled “The tea party's terrorist tactics” from Politico.com:

“It has become commonplace to call the tea party faction in the House “hostage takers.” But they have now become full-blown terrorists.
 They have joined the villains of American history who have been sufficiently craven to inflict massive harm on innocent victims to achieve their political goals. A strong America has always stood firm in the face of terrorism. That tradition is in jeopardy, as Congress and President Barack careen toward an uncertain outcome in the tea party- manufactured debt crisis.
 As we stumble closer to Aug. 2, it has become clear that many in the tea party are willing to inflict massive harm on the American people to obtain their political objective of a severely shrunken federal government. Their persistence in rejecting compromise, even as the economic effects of the phony crisis they have created mount, has taken their radicalism beyond tough negotiating, beyond even hostage-taking.” Full article here. 

 Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), Chair of the Democrat Party:

“Aren’t we at the point where the closer we get to chaos, the more concern that there should be about coming to the table and compromising with Democrats?” “This is not leadership. This is almost like dictatorship. I know they want to force the outcome that … their extremists would like to impose. But they are getting ready to spark panic and chaos, and they seem to be OK with that. And it’s just really disappointing, and potentially devastating.”

The first woman ex-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi:

“This isn’t just about them saying we should reduce the deficit,” she said, adding: “This is an excuse. The budget deficit is an excuse for the Republicans to undermine government plain and simple. They don’t just want to make cuts, they want to destroy. They want to destroy food safety, clean air, clean water, the department of education. They want to destroy your rights.”

Nancy's ride while saving planet

“What we’re trying to do is save the world from the Republican budget. We’re trying to save life on this planet as we know it today.”

 Harry “Dusty” Reid:

“Some Tea Party extremists seem to think ‘compromise’ is a dirty word, and have said that they would rather shut down the government than work with Democrats to find a common-sense, bipartisan solution.”

Left wing extremist writer for the Dem Party main propaganda outlet, the NY Times,

Thomas Friedman:

“Alas, that is the Tea Party. It is so lacking in any aspiration for American greatness, so dominated by the narrowest visions for our country and so ignorant of the fact that it was not tax cuts that made America great but our unique public-private partnerships across the generations. If sane Republicans do not stand up to this Hezbollah faction in their midst, the Tea Party will take the G.O.P. on a suicide mission. No American politician was more allergic to debt or taxes than Thomas Jefferson, but he also appreciated the need to have the resources to make the Louisiana Purchase and insisted that on his tombstone it be written that he founded the University of Virginia.” His full article here. 

Radical Leftist Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA):

“The current, so-called ‘debt crisis’ has been completely manufactured by House Republicans attempting to advance an extremist agenda. This should be a simple vote to allow the US Treasury to fund all of the programs and obligations of the entire federal government that are already in the law.”

 Leftist alleged reporter Margaret during a debate with Charles Krauthammer:

“I have to downgrade Charles here. You initially said why don’t Republicans, you know, take the victory. And it’s because there’s a nihilist caucus which is, “Listen, we want to burn the place down." I mean, they’re not, they’ve strapped explosives to the Capitol and they think they are immune from it. The Tea Party caucus wants this crisis, and do we want to do this again six months from now? This whole two-step process is another thing which is they like the drama. They want to do it again.”

 Alleged economist and Enron adviser Paul Krugman:

The facts of the crisis over the debt ceiling aren’t complicated. Republicans have, in effect, taken America hostage, threatening to undermine the economy and disrupt the essential business of government unless they get policy concessions they would never have been able to enact through legislation.” Full article here.

 Ex-Obama czar Steve Rattner:

“You know, the problem with this is it's like a form of economic terrorism. I imagine these Tea Party guys are like strapped with dynamite, standing in the middle of Times Square at rush hour and saying, 'either you do it my way, or we're going to blow you up, ourselves up, and the whole country up with us.' So you tell me how those kinds of standoffs end.”

 Newsweek’s Tina Brown: … congressional Republicans are "suicide bombers" for not supporting tax increases.

House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer: Republicans "want to shoot every bullet they have at the president."

Huffington Post Business Editor Peter Goodman:

“The same Republicans who have so eagerly prosecuted the war on terror, running up huge deficits in the process, are now behaving like the enemies on which they have squandered so much blood and treasure: They are acting like terrorists. Yes, terrorists.”
