More Classy Lefty Rhetoric

This is nice...

The red-hot rhetoric over Social Security on liberal talkradio network AIR AMERICA has caught the attention of the Secret Service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Government officials are reviewing a skit which aired on the network Monday evening -- a skit featuring an apparent gunshot warning to the president!

The announcer: "A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn't safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here's your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked]."


You can listen to the skit at the link above.

Funny stuff. We don't agree with the President on Social Security, so lets kill him.

This is what happens when the leader of a political movement tells his followers that he "hates" the opposition and that they're "evil."

I've been thinking to myself, lately, that the way the left is going now they're likely to crush themselves under their own hatred for anybody who is not in lock-step agreement with them on every issue. I have a feeling that on a trend going out fifty years or so, the people we know as "liberals" today will probably begin to move toward the fringes of American politics as the hippie children begin to die out and/or retire from politics. Let's face it. These people have become parodies of themselves, which is why so many in the younger generations have rejected the politics of their parents.

The left-right debate as we know it today will more than likely shift with the new political divide being between the social conservatives and the more libertarian-minded "South Park conservatives," a divide which I feel will be much healthier for this country.

Just speculation on my part, but I think its the logical outcome given where the left seems to be taking itself these days.

Update:

Glenn Reynolds calls this a "desperate bid for attention."

Given Air America's performance with listners its not all that surprising. No publicity is bad publicity, I guess.

Rob:  Nice post. I couldn’t agree more. The left has viewed itself in more and more “religious” type terms for a number of years. They are righteous while conservatives are “mean”, “fascist” and filled with “hate.” Anything a conservative says is “hate-filled”, and therefore not subject to serious debate. Ironically, this is exactly why they condemn the so-called christian right. Dr. Burgess-Jackson wrote an excellent piece on this phenom called “Why Liberals think Conservatives are Stoopid” at Tech Central Station (See also analphilosopher.com)Since they are “morally right” and we are wrong, then shooting the President is O.K. The intellectual bankruptcy of the left will be its downfall. Nice Blog by the way!
