It seems that when one Republican says (or is perceived to have said) a nasty thing about a Democrat, the editorialists at the New York Times and the left-wing bloggers go into high dudgeon.  They’ll level accusations againt McCain of “inciting more division, anger and hatred” while ignoring the very record of their fellow Obama-supporters.
They have so twisted his campaign to fit into their narrative, we’re no longer reading about the campaign as it has played out, but as the Times would like it have played out in order for their writers to more easily badmouth it.
Yet, when it comes to hatred on the left, the Times, like many mainstream media ignores, feigns ignorance. While, to be sure, a number of people on the right have said some pretty offensive things in the course of this campaign. the hatred has become endemic on the left, particularly in the nation’s two largest cities. Now, there is a story worth covering, yet one which neither Times, the one in Los Angeles or in New York, is likely to cover, even though they’re happening right around them, indeed, perhaps among the very set with whom the papers’ editors and writers regularly socialize.
At least, the Hollywood Reporter has looked into this. In a piece Sunday on entertainment industry intolerance of views opposing the prevailing orthodoxy, screenwriter Andrew Klavan comments on attitudes toward his fellow conservatives:
It’s not easy being different. . . . The liberals aren’t all that liberal. We think they’re wrong, but they think we’re evil, and they behave like it.
In a recent post on the Corner, Jay Nordlinger provides an example of such behavior in the nation’s major East Coast metropolis:
Have a friend who was in Riverside Park (Manhattan) with his baby daughter. A woman came up to him and said, “Are you a registered Democrat?†He said no. She said, “Well, you can register right now — it will just take a second. I have the necessary paperwork here.†He said, “No, actually, that’s not it — I am registered. It’s just that I’m a registered Republican.†He said that the woman gave him a look of hate such as he had seldom seen — sent a shudder down his spine. She walked away, still glaring, bitterly, without a word.
In the wake of 9/11, maybe the reason so many on the left wondered what it was about Americans which made Islamicists so hate us was because they really believe some hate is justified. To them, the problem must always be the object of the hatred, not the feelings of the hater.
“Vote from Home” a Democratic run organization from NYC has set up temporary home in Ohio so people from New York can cast their vote from Ohio.
It appears that Oliver Stone’s movie “W” is not getting much of an audience. Is anyone keeping tabs on all the bombs that Hollywood released in the last six or so years that only give a negative view of these United States and its role in the world? The only good movie that I can think of that was made was with Tom Hanks playing the congressman Charlie Wilson.
Oh! A dirty look! To the fainting couches! (Goldberg cracks me up)
Tires Slashed, Early Voters Intimidated by McCain Supporters in NC
Inland GOP mailing depicts Obama’s face on food stamp surrounded by a watermelon, ribs and a bucket of fried chicken
Obama Slaying Joke Sent By GOP Fundraiser
“A dirty look.” It’s hard out there for a gangster…
Props, though, to the McCain campaign people and supporters pushing back against the racists among them. Maybe all the “biased MSM” coverage drove some people to clean up the crap among them? Nonetheless, credit where credit is due.
ok, dredge up all the crackpot things a few right-wing nutbags have done and then compare that to the rhetoric spewing on a daily basis from left-wing web-sites and track down stories of GOP headquarters vandalized and signs stolen or destroyed and you’ll find the amount of venom on the right pales in comparison to that we’ve seen on the left.
Yeah, there are some loons out there on the right. Those slashing tires should be punished to the full extent of the law. But, I highly doubt you’ll join me in criticizing those Democrats who did the same thing in Wisconsin four years ago.
GPW, don’t tell us you’re just now realizing this!
If torrentprime wants to see examples of shenanigans by left-wingers equal to or worse than those he lists he can go to Michelle Malkin’s web log.
The snarky comments here are incredible. Imagine if some Repubs had worn Obama is a (n word) the howls would be deafening. But Obama supporters wearing t shirts saying Sarah is a (C word) and no reporting in the media, on the lib blogs, or harumphing about the rage and intolerance of Obama’s audience or the absence of any critical comments from Obama or his campaign.
McCain’s straight talk bus is shot at and paintballed in New Mexico, and again, nothing about the unjustified rage, or Obama’s speeches causing unhinged leftists to act on their violence (no mirror image of false media pundits claiming McCain’s campaign causing unhinged comments from his supporters-but not one incident of such violence affecting Obama’s vehicles);
In Manhattan, NYC, a small gathering of McCain supporters is interrupted by an Obama supporter who grabbed a McCain sign from a supporter, broke the sign, and whacked the female McCain supporter in the face with the wooden part of the broken sign. But not a word in the Mainstream lib media, because it diverts from their Republicans are evil knucklecrawlers, and libs are angels (or acts against republicans are justified-blame the victims);
In other states, McCain/Palin signs are blown up by Molotov Cocktails, without a word in the media, again, must be justified because republicans are ‘evil’;
Motor Vehicles with McCain bumperstickers are vandalised, again nothing in the mainstream media;
A business in Virginia puts up a McCain Palin sign, and his business is threatened with boycotts and other intimidation by Obama supporters, even though its hosted numerous African American conferences and caters to African American clientele.
And these are just a small number of the hateful acts of Obama’s supporters which Obama and his campaign not only don’t condemn but actively support.

Guess you forgot about those liberal kids who slashed the tires of vehicles rented to transport Republican voters to the polls a few years back.
Besides, I take that over some Obamunist jamming my head into a wall or some crazy lady jumping on my back and punching me for daring to point out her attempts at vote fraud any day. And it ain’t fabricated by the media like the “kill him” kerfuffle planted by the Obama campaign.
Guess you forgot about Algore’s support for the troops by demanding their votes tossed in the round file.
Meh, torrentprime just spews whatever talking points his Democrat masters feed to him.
Also, TP, will you go on record here and now condemning the Obamunists who make fun of McCain’s age? Seems to me that liberals have no problem smearing their Seasoned Citizens by extension. Worse than that, they seem to think that Alzheimer’s is something to be laughed at instead of the horrible, mind and personality robbing disease that it is.
I suppose it’s supposed to be funny because WE ALL KNOW that all old people have Alzheimer’s.
I’ve worked in EMS for numerous years and have had to treat people with this disease. Not only that, my father has Alzheimer’s. I find it sickening that “tolerant” and “compassionate” people who prize Seasoned Citizens as a voting block would take this tact. Just like they went after Lieberman for being Jewish. Just like they portrayed Rice as a “house nigger”.
You’ll pardon me if I don’t give a crap about your examples considering the pure hate and bigotry we’ve seen from the left over the past few years. If you want to play that game, I’ll show you examples. I’m sure, however, that you’re smarter than that and you know damn well what Im talking about.
If you want to keep playing the “morally outraged” role, you can suck my cock. I would hope that you’re aware of the fraud you’re putting forth.
