Barking moonbats often complain that using someone's exact words is a vicious smear. Whether it's Van Jones or Obama - quoting someone is always a hateful act. In comparison - the far left is forced to decode the coded speech of conservatives for the masses, seeing as the right never actually says what they want us to say.
Me, I like to take people at their words. What you say or write is how I judge you. You don't need a secret racist decoder ring - you can just read what they write. So let's head over to the fever swamps of the ShowMeProgress crowd and see just what exactly they're saying these days.
Hotflash: "You know what I think would help their mental health? I mean, besides Glenn Beck keeling over with a heart attack? A sudden infusion of cash."
Ha ha ha ha. See - if Glenn Beck died, then ACORN would be fine! ha ha ha!
Clark: "Our Beloved Kit Bond. Objectively Pro-Rape."
Strong words. Nonsense, but strong words. And does Clark mean, rape, or rape-rape?
WillyK - "Although it does animate my own paranoia, I admit, when I read that the biggest group of gun nuts in the state is being told to " Carry a camcorder and photograph or video everybody - not the "celebrities," the people." The people - that, my friends, is you and me and who knows what these fools are capable of."
See - in Willy's mind - video cameras are more scary than guns. Personally I'd prefer to videotape SEIU members threatening little old ladies and attacking some guy selling buttons and flags. Like many of his brethen, he seems to be hoping that more violence occurs. It's a common theme, and a sick one.
Did I say sick? How about someone actively gloating over the idea of violence between blacks and whites?
UMSLBlog - "[U City} also has a strong and vibrant African American community. U City is proud of this diversity but struggles with a recent history of gang related violence that left a University City Police officer dead last summer.
U City is not a 93.9% white, low key, South County suburb like Mehlville where violence erupted at a town hall meeting hosted by Missouri 3rd District Rep. Russ Carnahan.
The primarily white and definitely rowdy "teabaggers" that hijacked that event are just spiteful and stupid enough make the same play in U City, but the results would be MUCH different. And the U City school board was smart enough to know that and the "teabaggers" got lucky, very lucky."
See - if a townhall was held in UCity, young black men would shoot all the Tea Party dead - and thus we were "lucky" that UCity cancelled.
What you see time and time again is leftists trying to smear political opponents as violent, angry, racist, and paid cronies to dark mysterious forces. They are convinced that we are all astroturf, when every bit of proof shows the only paid activists are those working with HCAN, OFA, SEIU, AFCSME, ACORN, Missouri ProVote, Missouri Votes Conservation, and the other left wing groups that these people actively work with.
They actively seek to slander and libel anyone that dares to stand up to them. They make outrageous accusations against Tea Party leaders like Dana and Bill and Gateway Pundit, all of whom are good, moral people with families and livelihoods. And they will never apologize - never feel shame. They are life's losers - unwilling or unable to make a difference.
The violent language and stepped up attacks have a source. They know they are losing the battle. They know people are waking up - Obama has been unmasked, most Democrats don't really think much of them, and even the press isn't interested in their conspiracy theories. Just read the bitter complaining about the corporate press and the sell-out Missouri Democrats. They can't understand why no one cares what they say - not even the politicians they support.
So I would say this to you. Judge what you read on line by what you see. Take a look at what people say - how they hold themselves - how honest they are. Talk to them - ask them questions. And then make your decisions. What you'll find is that crazy can't hide forever.
I have never wished for the death of a political opponent. I have never sought to destroy an honest business. I have never hoped for violence that would support my cause. You have to ask yourselves what's wrong with people for whom those thoughts are not only wished for in secretive whispers, but actively published, promoted, and celebrated.

Kit Bond voted against an amendment that would have removed federal funding for contractors that barred their employees from having their day in court in the case of a sexual assault or rape. I don't know if Bond's for rape, but he's all for making it more difficult for rape victims to seek redress.
And that's shameful.

Dude. Objectively Pro Rape. You said that a Missouri Senator was objectively for rape.
You don't get to weasel out of it attempting to explain how a vote on a piece of legislation in some ways could be analyzed as allowing forcible sexual assault. You were trying to be clever, and insinuate that Kit Bond approves of raping women.
Go ahead and defend that all you want. I'd suggest doing it in public as much as possible.

I have no problem defending what I said. Bond could have voted yes on a very simple amendment that helps rape victims. And he didn't. It's more important for Bond to make sure money goes toward these companies than making sure the criminals who rape and assault women get locked up.
"The amendment was offered after Jamie Leigh Jones, an employee of Kellogg, Brown & Root (formerly a subsidiary of Halliburton) was sexually assaulted by her co-workers in Iraq and then locked in a shipping crate when she tried to report the rape. Her return to the United States was facilitated by U.S. Rep. Ted Poe, R-Tex., but upon her return, she learned that the fine print of her employment contract banned her from taking the case to court."

Keep going, Clark, Eric - whatever your name is.
You equate a vote on legislation as being for forcible sexual assault, which shows that you will do and say anything to smear your opponents.
That makes you a fraud worth exposing. Thank you for your help with that. From now you, your name will officially be Eric "Objectively Pro-Rape" Hoffpauir. I can make you some business cards to hand out if you'd like.
