Why is there not more outrage from Progressives and Liberals about the consistent lies and un-American behavior of the politicians, pundits, Fox News hacks and far right crazies who get their faces on cable TV everyday spouting slurs, lies, anti-American rhetoric and slanderous remarks about the duly elected President of the United States?
We moderates and progressive Democrats and Republicans are tolerant folks who think everyone has a right to speak and that truth will prevail. What's happening now is a campaign by the Republican Party to hold the President and this administration up to enough bogus ridicule and scorn that in the next election people have doubts even in the face of an improving economy, end of the Iraq War, and other positive signs that the Obama Administration is doing the right thing on all fronts.
When I see pasty faced Republican Senators like McCain get on TV and purposely say things that undermine the economy's improvements, government plans that are working and health care reform I find it to be unpatriotic and them as traitors to this country.
Their rhetoric is not the loyal opposition talking, it is the voice of "let's bring down the USA for political gain. When McCain, who has voted to confirm every Supreme Court Nominee in the past, says he won't vote for Ms Sotomayor even after she was approved, it's plain where he's coming from and what his and the other right wing traitors are coming from. Not only are they bigots they are traitors.
Cable and radio bigots like Lou Dobbs, Libaugh and Beck should be indicted for slander and inciting to riot. The stuff the spout has no basis in reality and goes beyond "Freedom of Speech." principals. We may think everyone will recognize these lies but this is not about the lies it's about sewing the seeds of scorn and constantly trying to condition the general public to have doubts about the President and this administration.
We are at War! They are trying to bring down the government of the United States. Now they've got scores of hired protestors, going out and disrupting town hall meetings. The media with only a couple of exceptions is treating these hooligans like they really represent some significant segment of the population. Why doesn't someone interview a few of these idiots. Ask them some real questions about who has organized them and coached them about disrupting the democratic process.
The so called "Blue Dog Democrats," need to understand that unless they vote with the Democratic Government they will go down in the next election with other Democrats what ever color they may be. If they can't vote with the Democratic majority in the Senate who needs them?
I think a lot of Americans, including myself, would be willing to donate to a real campaign with advertising to fight back against this outrage. We need to have a campaign that is as strong as if an election was in progress, because that's what is needed. "We need to fight fire with fire!
