Left-wingers want to silence the truth

Left-wing politicians prostitute the language; demonize critics rather than honestly answer questions; accuse opponents of using the very tactics perfected and regularly used by left-wingers; and chill free speech by developing an enemies list.

Janet Napolitano's definition of terrorism as a "manmade disaster" aptly describes the Nov. 4, 2008, presidential election. Her "terrorist list" defames and persecutes Americans who are pro-life, who oppose government-run health care, who oppose Obama's "hate America" speeches and oppose Obama's destruction of our constitutional republic.

Unable to stand the truth, Obama and his major-media lapdogs hate Rush Limbaugh for courageously exposing Obama's lies, his naked abuse of power and his jackbooted trampling of America's founding documents and her values. Limbaugh and some other commentators are doing the work that honest journalists formerly did. Obama's utopian socialism will enslave America; the truth will set us free. Obama, Pelosi, etc. want to silence valiant messengers of truth.

Obama lied by claiming that AARP had endorsed his "plan." The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office exposed Obama's lies about how much the plan would cost, that people could keep their present plans and about the number of uninsureds who would be covered. Beware! A "health co-op" receiving $3 billion to $4 billion from government is, in effect, a disguised government plan/option. Please don't get sucked in by this clever quarterback draw.

Pelosi calls conservatives, independents and disenchanted Obama voters "Nazis" for loudly, but peacefully, protesting socialized medicine schemes. "Nazi" describes the National Socialist German Workers' Party, brought to power in 1933 under Adolf Hitler. Hitler and other "Nazis" were socialists/fascists - not conservatives. It was the left-wing stormtroopers who engaged in the violence, intimidation and disruption at town hall meetings.

Obama's hope is to change America into a socialistic, totalitarian banana republic. That's not change we can believe in.

It's all the rebuttal that the letter deserved.

as one poster said a few weeks ago, i dont care if you're a left nut or a right nut, you party loyalists are still gonads.

nofanofobama

so far the comments back up his thesis you name call but dont dispute line by line his thesis. liberal republicans and dems attack sarah palin without even knowing her. yet i would match her accomplishments against any of her critics who think they are so darn smart. this is a common thread liberals all have in common they cant argue ideas because they are all based on things govt has already tried or are doing. name one govt program that is run without fraud and in budget that actually delivers the promises. if you dont agree argue the case. and it is true our national press is a joke with everything this unlawful govt has their hand in our press ought to be screaming bloody murder yet they are silent. why? because the press is liberal and in bed with the prez.

The First Amendment protects speech, but don't protect speech that leads to violence. The shooter of Dr. Tiller was a right-wing nut that carried out a horrible act, while the man was attending church services. Ol' Paul here, can't identify a single example of violence against a right-wing citizen based of an ideology. The point: A rationale person would conclude that some of these people are possibly dangerous based on evidence of previous behavior. The language is getting harse and unless some serious attention is given to particular individuals, their vehicles for speech and their speech itself, this could easily become another shameful period in our history. And Oh, the Truth: Ol' Adolf was NOT a person of color.

Paul, don't you know? When liberals protest, name call, and insult a conservative president, it's true Americanism, according to Nancy Pelosi. When conservatives protest, name call, and insult a liberal president, it's hate mongering, according to Nancy Pelosi. Get with the program, man! If the stakes weren't so high, it would be funny.

southernguy08

JUSTUS, I guess that "protester" who shot 2 marine recruiters, killing one a few months ago was doing that just because he didn't like their uniforms? This lunatic said he would have shot more if he had the chance. I'd say that incident counters your argument that the left never acts this way.

Rhetor

If you are foolish enough to listen to Rush Limbaugh, you deserve what you get.

Rhetor

Are there any well-run government programs? Hmm... Let's see... How about the US Coast Guard, which runs on a shoestring budget, and to whom our nation should give thanks every day? How about Medicare, without which our nation's elderly would have no access to health care? (Private insurance companies have never offered policies to the elderly.) How about the National Park Service, which preserves our nation's treasures? And if you want to look at an institution that never recognizes the public interest, look at the unregulated investment banking industry, whose greedy excesses ran us into the recession. Or consider the health insurance industry, which sucks up a huge percentage of our health care expenditures into huge profits and executive bonuses, while often denying coverage to people who have the temerity to get sick.

LOL @ silence the truth, another nutcase following the conservative script.

If Obamba would get off the health reform platform for a while and give his attention to the unemployment situation it would do more good. Perhaps if people had jobs they could pay for their own health care. He has his priorities completely out of order. The economy and jobs is what the American people need right now. The time for health cae reform can come next year.

I certainly hope this gentleman doesn't feel as threatened criticizing President Obama, as I did criticizing President George "The Second Coming" Bush. I hope everyone realizes Mr. Rosenthal is also as much a patriot for criticizing President Obama, as I was for criticizing President Bush. Finally, I find it very funny that the economy is slowly improving and many people, not just Mr. Rosenthal, are still proclaiming it the end of days: I suppose this is the kind of logic one gets daily taught at Limbaugh University? What will Mr. Rosenthal and his many fellow 'true believers' think when we're still here and doing just fine three and a half years from now?

nofanofobama

RHETEOR you made my point. everything you listed runs at a defecit each and every year. and medicare is full of fraud massive over spending and is poorly managed. banks are regulated, oversite by fed and congress and least we forget freddie, fannie and ginnie mae all quasi govt instititions with direct congress oversite are at the heart of the sub prime loan mess with people like dodd and frank in oversight. do not blame all woes on the insurance companies lets look at tort reform and please name one govt run universal health care program that is run well and in budget and no rationing...

CobaltGeorge

7:24 "the economy is slowly improving" yea, the unemployment still increasing and the retail sales are dropping. Oh, I am sorry, that is Fox news poles.

olafjohnson

Rhetor, didn't you mean if you ae stupid enough to listen to the omumbler, pelosi, and reid, you deserve what you get? You are welcome, I knew you misstyped!

olafjohnson

Lets see rhetor, coast guard--(falls under military) national parks--hundreds closing due to missmanagement by the parks service, medicare, broke. HMM how about the postoffice---broke---WRONG ON ALL COUNTS YOU LOSE!

olafjohnson

Copper, quit calling yourself a nut case. We all recognize what you are, you don't have to keep reminding us.

And the beat goes on....................

Rhetor, really reaching today arn't you. Good try.

I will use direct quotes like SNL did with Sarah Palin to show the writer is out there---" Rush Limbaugh for courageously exposing "Limbaugh and some other commentators are doing the work that honest journalists formerly did.""Obama's hope is to change America into a socialistic, totalitarian banana republic."
"It was the left-wing stormtroopers who engaged in the violence, intimidation and disruption at town hall meetings."Gacopp you got is right NUTCASE.

nofan: Medicare fraud? Be sure to check out the anti healthcare bill ads by Conservatives for Patients Rights on Faux Gnus. The bald guy is Rick Scott, booted for the biggest Medicare fraud case in American history. $1.7 BILLION dollars worth. You can thank him and Dick Armey and his followers, I guess that would be an army of dicks:>), and of course Faux, and right wing radio for most of the misinformation regarding the healthcare bill. The crooks like the system just the way it is.

ColdBeerBoiledPeanuts

The current system is a lot better than waiting 3 months for a prescription for aspirin!

justthefacts

TL, do you consider President Obama claiming that AARP has endorsed 3200 as misinformation? I think most of what is being called misinformation is more a difference in interpretations of the language. 1000 pages of legalize. This bill contains money for bike paths! Scale it back, take care of the uninsured, and it will pass.

FaceTheMusic

Nutcase. Somebody has been listening to Faux News too much. And as for the comment about the "accomplishments of Sarah Palin," . . . I just don't have the energy today.

TechLover

olaf: National Parks are not having problems due to mismanagement. The're having problems due to lack of funding. (Full disclosure: I'm a member of The National Parks Conservation Association) The 2009 budget for the entire National Park Service was around $2.4 billion. Yellowstone alone comprises 3,468 square miles. The NPS also manages historic and archeological sites, Battlefields, national monuments, among many other duties. The NPS manages 84 million acres of land, 4.5 million acres of lakes, oceans and resevoirs, 85,000 miles of rivers and streams, 68,500 archeological sites, 43,000 miles of shoreline, 27,000 historic structures, 12,250 miles of trails, 8,500 miles of roads, and many other responsibilities. Pretty slim budget to handle all of that.

HotFoot

The usual lunatic rant from Rosenthal. It wasn't Napolitano's terrorist list, it was compiled under the Bush administration and it rightfully noted the danger inherent in extremism of any kind, whether anti-choice, pro-gun, anti-Semitic, anti-government--what have you. The murders that took place earlier this year are proof that the report was prescient. "Leftwing stormtroopers"? Sir, you've gone round the bend. GAC and Retired Army are correct to dismiss you as a nutcase. Can't wait for your September missive from Planet Paranoid.

Privatize em.

ColdBeer, do you normally get your aspirin by prescription? I've got a nice bridge to sell ya...
