The Ugly Face of Leftist Hate UPDATED AND BUMPED--AGAIN

When the WaPo's Howard Kurtz called out Charles Johnson for "vile" comments on his Little Green Footballs site, Kurtz clearly hadn't bothered to check out his own newspaper's site; if he had he would have found comments like this under the article about Tony Snow's cancer (Warning--take your blood pressure meds first):

Tony Snow....I hope you die from this cancer, no I hope you suffer terribly and then die like a dog from this cancer. Dont keep Satan waiting.

Or perhaps you would prefer this Washington Post reader:

Liver cancer is universally fatal, and quickly. Let the party begin people, let us dance on our roofs in joy at the end of a neocon mouth piece. This will be a big party, the only one bigger at this time would be for the utter and complete distruction of israel via Iranian nuclear tipped missles. Oh what a beautiful day that would be, mushroom clouds over toilet aviv, oh joy! Stick that in your pipe wolfie, pearlie, libbie, and feithie - I dance a jig in celebration.

There are many more where that came from.

I wish I could say that I didn't buy into the stereotype that most of the MoveOn.org crowd, are anger-filled hate-mongers for anything Republican--but unfortunately I know a few of these paranoids myself, and the stereotype really is true, in my experience; there is a reason Al Gore and Howard Dean and Sean Penn tend to end up screaming at the top of their lungs when they speak before these propeller-heads. This is not just the mindset that brought you Loose Change and Fahrenheit 9/11 -- trust me, from what I have seen with my own eyes, propaganda and misinformation is just the tip of the iceberg. I have seen people with opinions so unbalanced that they belong more in a psych ward than on the streets of America.

UPDATE: Just when I thought I had seen everything; that the Left could not get any more deranged and despicable than what we've already seen above, they prove me wrong again: as the wonderful, kind, Cathy Seipp lay dying last week--a woman who was loved by all and had as many friends on the Left as she did on the right (Susan Estrich comes to mind)---the Lunatic Fringe Left was just getting warmed up (this will honestly make you sick).

You know, after reading some of these statements, I simply cannot in good conscience hold back, so here it comes: the DT "Krakatoa moment" of the month (suggestion for anarchist hate-filled lefties before proceeding: put in your ear plugs, put on your eye shades, you know where to put the cork...because I am not in a mood to "play nice"):

Here it is: when hypocritical, seditious Democrat pols--the very definition of everything the Founders did not have in mind--prance around before the cameras and use our soldiers' lives for their political fodder out of one side of their mouths, and (when criticized) then have the audacity to go to the opportunistic media and call it "Hate speech" out of the other--they are projecting onto the rest of us something which they themselves are very familiar with; for when you are around nothing but hate speech all the time, it sort of comes naturally--rolls right off the tongue. Ask Sean Penn. Tell me that little ditty could not have come out of a Munich Beer Hall, circa 1930. Or maybe a Blackshirts meeting in Milan.

Yes, I am venting right now, but objectively speaking, I truly believe the MoveOn.org Left's manic derangement is becoming a fairly common syndrome: these people hate for a living--They wake up hating, they fan the flames all day long and they go to sleep hating at night. The good news is that we will probably outlive most of them because of this. But that is little consolation in a world on the brink of a catastrophe, when 25-33% of our population has simply lost all grasp on reason.

On the one hand these people give lip service to living by John Lennon's "Imagine" paradigm--but they are the antithesis of his message if you look closely enough. At least Lennon practiced what he preached (albeit not perfectly... but I did not see a lot of harm with his hanging out with Cousin It under those sheets...). But just go back and read those links above and tell me what morality that sickness derives from. It certainly isn't God, and it isn't even representative of the Beatles.

Do not get me wrong, these leftists do have a God: it is the nanny state and a naive-to-the-point-of-destructiveness "altruism"--only it isn't really altruistic, because anyone with any grey matter left knows that true altruism is to help people take responsibility for themselves, rather than to pigeon-hole them into a mediocre unionized education system, whose ultimate goal is to make all our children play to a least common denominator rather than to excel; to prepare them to become wards of a sick, inefficient, unionized, dying bureaucracy. That these same folks--via their PC mindset--systematically discourage excellence because it makes the non-excellent feel bad is an atrocity to our children. We can't have competition because someone has to lose? How then, can we as a society possibly win? Ever? Just where the hell do they think real character and achievement comes from? Sports and competition are not valuable because they teach us how to win (although that is good too...); sports and competition are most valuable because they teach us how to lose with character--and then to come back to compete another day. That is what capitalism and individualism is all about. And the Left wants to kill it dead.

At root, I believe all this hatred comes from leftists' own self-loathing, their own sense of guilt and inadequacy--which they want to impart to the rest of us, so we will be angry and fell guilty too.

Witness this whole Global Warming Hysteria. A guilt complex of the highest order--and why? Because we have it good and because third world countries who have been trying archaic Socialist models are failing miserably. So what does the Church of the Sacred Global Warming Myth want to do?--they want to take AWAY the third world's sole means for electricity (oil and coal), thus ensuring the poorest countries will stay in squalor and poverty and AIDS and all the other things we didn't have the money to pay for because we were too damn busy writing a check for the 0.7 inches that the sea levels might rise in 100 years. Meanwhile famine and disease are killing millions today in societies which have not modernized and don't even have running water or electricity. Under the COTSCWM, these people would be written off for a flawed computer model--and they would be thus condemned to remain in poverty and NEVER compete with the rest of the planet. This is not "stewardship" of the earth, this is insanity.

So I wrap up this "eruption" with the following advice. Don't believe me: instead revisit and read those links above, and ponder deeply this fact: the people being quoted in these links--these ugly, vicious, hateful MoveOn nutjobs are the driving force behind the hypocrites who are jerking us all around in Congress right now. The lunatic fringe helped to elect these traitors to office last November--because many of you didn't see it coming or didn't care. Well you've got what you asked for now. Take a good hard look. And learn from your mistake--before it is too late for the rest of us.

UPDATE: I wrote the original draft of this late last night when I was soooo angry that I was unfortunately somewhat incoherent, so I apologize to any readers who were unlucky enough to have tried to slogged through my rant before I at least cleaned it up a little. But thanks for trying!
