This Post Is A Reproduction of an Original Post at “Evil Teabagger“

The Rand Paul supporter stomping on the MoveOn.org supporter is an accurate representation of the Tea Party, or so the Left says

So let’s characterize the entire left with their violent radicals!

• Obama supporter punches a Tea Party supporter in the face, after assaulting his wife.
• Tea Party protesters are assaulted by pro-amnesty/socialists activists.
• Ken Gladney was attacked by SEUI thugs outside of a healthcare townhall.
• Congressman Bob Etheridge attacked a college student who asked, “Do you support the Obama Agenda?”
• Remember that guy who stabbed that muslim cab driver? Yeah he was a radical leftist too, he actually works for a pro Park51 group.
• Bill Ayers
• Leftist assaulted Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal’s Fundraising staff, resulting in a broken leg.
• An immigration protest led to a riot that ended up catching a coffee house on fire.

This is obviously an accurate representation of how all Liberals act and protest. When will the left wing come out and denounce its violent tendencies?

Liberals Are Not The Only Mudslingers and Perpetrators of Violence

…but, I do think they were the most visible:
 

After watching all of the political advertisements that recently invaded my household, I would have to say that the overall tenor of debate has sunk to an all-time low. Few of the political advertisements were actually positive and fewer still were informative. If these had taught anything, they taught us that when a candidate attacks another on a personal level, that candidate has no viable position on the issue at hand.

Representative Barney Frank (D) is the poster boy for all that is nasty, condescending, biased and hateful when it comes to debate. People frequently and unjustly accuse Mr. Frank of being “whip smart”; but the truth is that he is nothing more than a bully who speaks over his opponents and changes the debate from issues to personal attacks with the greatest of ease and the least amount of conscience.

Representative Barney Frank complained loudly and often about the vitriol, vituperation and bias of the Boston Herald and Fox News. Where was the vitriol? Where was the vituperation? And where was the bias beyond the choosing of one candidate over another to endorse for public office?

Worse still, old sourpuss made this attack in the midst of an acceptance speech, which stood in stark contrast to the gracious and grateful remarks candidate and marine, Sean Bielat made to his supporters in defeat. Barney Frank may have retained his seat in Congress, but I think it is clear who wins when judging the measure of a person. Barney Frank even managed to disturb and disappoint columnist and syncophant Margery Eagan, a columnist and talk radio host who admits to voting for Mr. Frank for the past 30 years [whoever said that intellect and common had to simultaneously exist?]:

Columnist and talk radio host Howie Carr responded in a less graceful way than did Ms. Eagen:

Later in his column, Mr. Carr goes on to say:

Certainly, this last part is vitriolic and vituperative in character. In context with the whole of her article, I think Ms. Eagan’s remarks are rather rational and on a higher ground than Mr. Franks’ comment was. The question is from a subscribers’ point of view, is that use of character in response justified?

In this case, I think it is. The Boston Herald will be monitoring Mr. Frank’s every utterance and reporting every misstep he makes for the next 2 years. It is just a shame that they didn’t feel quite so motivated when Mr. Frank was telling the world that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were doing well, were solid in their lending practices and posed no risk of a taxpayer bailout. Perhaps, the Herald may assign some ambitious investigative reporter to dig deep into Barney’s oversight of Fannie and Freddie. Who knows? The one thing I’ve learned over the past 2 decades is that the press is the most unreliable estate, which is probably why it holds the title of Fourth.

Sometimes, the only way to get one to do one’s job is to hurl an insult at them. Barney certainly insulted the Herald and it seems that the staff on the Herald may be even more thin skinned than Barney…and that is mighty thin. Sometimes, that insult comes in the form of a negative advertisement or a desire to “punish one’s enemies“. In just about all cases, however, little is ever gained; but, lost opportunities for solutions are never considered and in the final judgment they get buried in the graveyard of what could have been.
