WOW. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY SIGNS LIKE THESE AT THE TEA PARTIES I'VE BEEN TO.

The media is working over-time to manufacture hate and dig up the few fringy loons that claim to be part of the movement that shuns them. Tea partiers are violent, racist, idiot rednecks.

Lets look back a few years:



The best is at the end: talking about the anti- Bush "revolution" a protesters says, "we'll have to come out and kill somebody, I guess."

Oddly, the MSM had no problem with that kind of thing. After all, they were all working for the same "revolution."

Huh.

Jonah Goldberg has some thoughts, at Real Clear Politics:

Columnist Paul Krugman, who encouraged liberals to hang Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) in effigy, is concerned about right-wing "eliminationist rhetoric." The Washington Post's Courtland Milloy can't stand the incivility of the tea partyers, which is why he wants to "knock every racist and homophobic tooth out of their Cro-Magnon heads." Frank Rich says the mantra "take our country back" is now code for a white racist backlash -- though it was an apparently fine Democratic applause line when George W. Bush was president.

So what's the evidence for this new reign of terror? Those broken windows, some nasty voice and e-mail messages (not counting those aimed at Republicans, naturally), a coffin "left" at a Missouri congressman's home, a few repugnant signs at rallies and allegations from Reps. Emanuel Cleaver II (D-Mo.)and John Lewis (D-Ga.) that they were spit on and insulted with the "N-word," respectively.

But wait. The coffin was part of a protest over the death of "our freedoms" and was toted by the protesters, not left anywhere. And videos make it clear that what Cleaver called spitting was a protester spraying too much saliva while talking, the racist pig.

As for the epithet aimed at Lewis, if it happened, it's disgusting. But going by the video, there's nothing to back it up, and Rep. Andre Carson's (D-Ind.) claim that the N-word was chanted 15 times is pure dishonesty.

Let's assume it is true. I thought liberals rejected guilt by association as McCarthyism. Or are we to believe that every opponent of Obamacare is a racist?
