How can you condemn hate speech while ranting about blood-drenched conservatives?

A good comment:
"Michael Daly in the New York Daily News writes that Sarah Palin may now have “the blood of more than some poor caribou on her hands”. Jane Fonda blames Glenn Beck. Not all Lefties are taking this line, of course, nor even most. But it is striking that those who complain most loudly about hate speech then go on to indulge in the very phenomenon they purport to be condemning.

There is something repulsive about attacking your opponents for their intemperate language and in the same breath accusing them of complicity in murder. There is something blindly narcissistic about calling for a calmer debate while at the same time attacking Sarah Palin in terms that come close to incitement. Odium is not confined to any political faction. Spend five minutes reading the online reactions to the atrocity to see how readily Leftists resort to accusations of evil.

This is right out of "Leftism 101". Use lies, innuendo, rumor, half truths, and distortions, to keep your enemies on the defensive. Then sit back and let the court of public opinion find them guilty.

Human nature being what it is, most people believe that someone defending themselves, even from obvious lies, must be guilty of something, else they wouldn't be defending themselves. It's one of the Lefts oldest and most effective tactics, especially since those on the Right apparently still haven't figured it out. Of course, it takes a weak-minded public to work, and we sure have an over abundance of that.

The old saying is as true today as it was then...

A lie is half way around the world before the truth has a chance to get it's shoes on!

sadly those on the left are so delusional many of them believe their vile accusations, rants, and death threats are just statement of fact, while anything opposing their point of view is a sign of terrible hatred of them by their opponents.

The point for the Left is not to be accurate; they are well aware of their own distortions.

The point is bully others into submission by increasing the social cost of opposing the Left. Try it and you too will face the vicious lies and innuendo.

And if that doesn't work, there's always real violence, no innuendo required.

For proof, see all of history.

The Left will no doubt use this opportunity to attempt to impose yet more legislation restricting the rights of those who will never commit crimes in favor of legislating consequences and enforcement of those who do.
