However, that does not mean I condone vile and vicious political speech, no matter who is spouting it. Today’s topic focuses on that type of political dialog that constantly comes from the Democrats/liberal/left side of the political spectrum.
It seems to me that the level and intensity of political hate and hateful speech has accelerated over the past few years. And in my observations, the majority, if not vast majority of that increased hatred and hate speech, has come from the liberal side of politics.
We first approached this subject with a couple of posts from our past, posts that documented how the left side of the spectrum had called those that disagreed with their views a whole slew of disgusting and hurtful names: whores, sluts, a__h____s, terrorists, racists, KKK members, Neanderthals, hate rape opportunities, etc. It becomes very difficult as a human being to have constructive political dialog when the other side is slinging these types of vile names at you. Those discussions can be viewed at:
And the political class and the current set of politicians within it have done nothing to inhibit such speech and hatred since then. In fact, it is obvious that they encourage such name calling to “energize their base,” get their supporters hyped up to get themselves reelected over and over again. This type of divisive talk and silence is not leadership, it is not statesmenship, it is cheap, thug politics.
As a result of their encouragement of this type of hate speech and their silence in the face of it, in reality condoning it, the country’s major issues never get a rational and adult conversation and thus, never get resolved. William F. Buckley once observed: “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.”
See if that is not the case as we do an update on what the left side of the political spectrum are calling those that disagree with their views and positions on issues.
1) Dana Loesch is a well-known conservative writer and thinker. Pascal Robert is a left leaning blogger and contributor to the left leaning Huffington Post. In a Twitter debate over gun rights and gun control, rather than stick to the points of the argument, Loesch went vile with the following Tweet:

When all else fails, threaten anal rape. Classy (not).
2) The Hill reported on September 13, 2013 that Vice President Joe Biden called some House of Representatives members “this sort of Neanderthal crowd” when the House did not pass a piece of legislation as quickly as he wanted it passed. The legislation did eventually get passed but rather than discuss the one sticking point that delayed passage, the Vice President, the second in line of succession to leading the country, would rather just call people names. Pathetic lack of leadership.
3) Allan Brauer is the communications chair for the Democratic Party of California. Amanda Carpenter is an aide to Republican Senator Ted Cruz. Carpenter sent out a tweet expressing her and her boss’s political opinions back in September: “GOP beat gun control, changed Obama’s mind on Syria, is holding the line on amnesty. We can defund Obamacare, too!”
Rather than engage in constructive discussion with Carpenter and put forth the Democrats’ view and reasoning on gun control, Syria, amnesty, and Obama Care, Brauer went to Twitter and directed a message back towards Carpenter: “May your children all die from debilitating, painful and incurable diseases.”

Wishing that a fellow American’s kids would die a horrible, painful death. Is there any doubt why nothing ever gets resolved in this country today, in light of people wanting other people’s kids to die?
4) Bill O’Reilly is a very successful talk show host on the right leaning Fox news channel and author of many best selling books including “Killing Lincoln” and “Killing Kennedy,” books that examine the assassinations of these two Presidents. Chris Matthews is a talk show host on MSNBC, one of the most hard left leaning news entities in the world.
While being interviewed on the Colbert Show and O’Reilly’s name came up, Matthews replied: “When are we going to have the book we’ve really been waiting for? –’Killing O’Reilly.’” There it is again: let’s just kill off those that agree with us rather than embrace diversity and dialog.
5) The Roll Call website reported on October 13, 2014 that California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer compared Republicans to wife beaters in the midst of the Federal government shutdown (which really wasn’t a shutdown at all since we have previously cited two experts that estimated about 85% of the Federal government did NOT shut down):
“It’s a self-inflicted wound. I never questioned, never questioned the fact that Republicans, Democrats, and independents love this country. Love this country. I never questioned it. But I have to say, when you start acting like you’re committing domestic abuse, you’ve got a problem. ‘I love you dear, but you know, I’m shutting down your entire government. I love you dear, but I’m going to default and you’re going to be weak.’ Something is dreadfully wrong.”
Well, at least she did not hope that someone died.
6) The same thing cannot be said of Dan Savage, a liberal writer, speaker, and author who recently went the “hope they die route” when discussing Sarah Palin via the following tweet:
Woke up to Sarah Palin’s voice. She’s taken up chewing tobacco now cuz LIBRULS or Bloomberg or something. Now seeing upside of oral cancers.
— Dan Savage (@fakedansavage) May 4, 2013
Don’t debate, don’t constructively discuss, just wish death, this time via cancer.
7) Sarah Pain is an especially favorite target of hate spewing leftists. Martin Bashier, recently speaking from prepared remarks on his former MSNBC show, suggested that someone defecate into Sarah Palin’s mouth, simply because she holds different opinions from Bashier and the left, left leaning MSNBC news channel.
Bashier was eventually forced to resign but should have immediately been fired along with his producers and writers for the most vile thing I have ever heard in the political arena. This is the same “journalist” and news channel that put together a video montage of buses exploding, killing all inside in a fiery death, during the last Presidential election. This hideous video was positioned as something they would like see happen to the Romney campaign. Disgusting.
8) Former Montana Lieutenant Governor John Bohlinger announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate from Montana in early November. No big news there, another American trying to get elected to office.
But rather than focus on his abilities and skills to get things accomplished, he degenerated his announcement into yet another opportunity to slander Americans with a different view than his. During his announcement, Bohlinger disgustingly compared Tea Party Republicans to the Taliban, those religious extremists that once ran the Afghanistan government and who murder people without trials for violating the Koran and whose disdain for women’s rights, gay rights, and non-Islam rights is well known: “We need to challenge the Tea Party representatives who like the Taliban shut our country down,” Bohlinger said on Wednesday, according to the Billings Gazette, which covered the announcement.
The paper also noted that the Montana Democrat also compared the shutdown to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and the September 11 terrorist attacks. Pathetic attempt at politics.
Again, we know that the country did not shut down. More than 85% of the Federal government stayed in operation at all times. No one missed a Social Security check, no one failed to get Medicare coverage, our national defense was never threatened, etc. But rather than deal with facts, this Democrat would rather falsely persecute Americans with different ideas of what government should and should not be doing.
9) I could go on and on, left leaning political operatives and sitting politicians hurling insults and slurs at Americans who simply have a different view on issues than themselves.
Rather than engage in constructive dialog, which is much more likely to lead to constructive solutions, they would rather call others Nazis, racists, simpletons, and heartless individuals, as illustrated in this compilation of political hate speech from the left that was cataloged by the Independent Journal Review earlier this year:
http://www.ijreview.com/2013/08/72646-20-most-divisive-democrat-quotes-of-the-obama-era/24/
And it is not just Republicans and Tea Party supporters that get slandered and verbally abused. The following post, also from the Independent Journal review, points out that Democrats also bully African Americans, journalists, women, and others that dare to disagree with this administration or other Democratic Party positions:
http://www.ijreview.com/2013/03/39675-bullied-10-people-intimidated-by-the-democrat-party/7/
Through all of the insults and slander, one person has remained silent. President Obama, who is supposed to represent ALL Americans, who originally campaigned on a promise to unite the country, has stood silently by as the hate words and hatred from the liberal side of the political spectrum, his side, flew by. He has actually contributed to the vitriol, calling large segments of Americans bitter as “they cling to their guns and religion.” He has insulted large segments of Americans who happen to be global warming doubters, degrading them as flat earth believers.
And then he whines when he does not get his way from Congress. Could it be that as fellow human beings, people in Congress cannot help but get a little defensive and mad when the President of the United States allows his political operatives and Party cohorts to call Americans such a wide range of nasty, hateful names?
I am sure that the President has endured a wide range of equally hurtful names and insults. I am sure that these names were likely racist and uncalled for. But great leaders rise above the petty and mundane and the “small” people that walk among us. They unite people despite the name calling.
This President, and many in the Democratic/left/liberal wing of the political spectrum have refused to do so, proving again that fifty years ago that William F. Buckley was right: “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.”
Unfortunately, until this President and those around him are NOT shocked and offended, until the hatred and insults stop, the ability to come together and resolve the major issues of our times will continue to be elusive.
