The cons are again trying to smear and distort the words of Democrats!

It really pisses me off that no one is calling them out on this!

Someone e-mailed me this article from the washington examiner which tries to distort what former PA Rep. Paul Kanjorski said before:


Ex-Rep. Paul Kanjorski, D-Pa., pens an op-ed in the New York Times today about the proper political response to this weekend's tragedy. I wholeheartedly support the former Congressman (Kanjorski lost his seat in November) when he argues that, following this weekend's shooting, Congressman need to remain open and accessible to the public. However, Kanjorski is rather hypocritical when he climbs up on his soapbox:

We all lose an element of freedom when security considerations distance public officials from the people. Therefore, it is incumbent on all Americans to create an atmosphere of civility and respect in which political discourse can flow freely, without fear of violent confrontation.

Incumbent on all Americans to create an atmosphere of civility and respect? Congressman heal thyself! Yesterday, I noted that, according to the Scranton Times, Kanjorski said this about Florida's new Republican Governor Rick Scott on October 23:

"That Scott down there that's running for governor of Florida," Mr. Kanjorski said. "Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him. He stole billions of dollars from the United States government and he's running for governor of Florida. He's a millionaire and a billionaire. He's no hero. He's a damn crook. It's just we don't prosecute big crooks."

I'll give Kanjorski the benefit of the doubt that he did not literally mean Scott schould be killed. Regardless, Kanjorski's way over the rhetorical line compared to the kinds of statements liberals are pointing to as evidence that Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh are creating a "climate of hate," to borrow Paul Krugman's phrase. And somehow I doubt that there would have been crickets from the national media if a Republican politician called for a Democratic candidate to be shot barely a week before the election.

Damn the republicans play dirty, actually quoting what people say. Beck uses that dirty trick all the time.
Too bad we can't all be as honest as Alan Grayson who edited a clip where Daniel Webster was speaking to flip the meaning 180 degrees.

That always seems to piss off leftists for some reason.

Yeah and get Laelth as your lawyer.

He's the only other Libtard that would see the logic in suing someone for accurately quoiting what someone said...then daring to report on it!

adding feigned outrage commentary is a new twist, though

4. I'll say this---I am not fooled by your post

I was under the impression that using a communist democrat's actual quotes is what is called Swift Boating.

As the blood libel of accusing the right with no evidence, in fact evidence to the contrary, loses traction the DUchebags will howl and flap their armpits at an ever rabid pace.

Or, in English, "Quoting them."

Glenn Beck is a really crafty person. He does things like use the actual dictionary definition when he says some people are terrorists. Like when he made that nutty claim that maybe 10% of muslims worldwide support terrorism. He was so sneaky and diabolical he went all the way down to the very first definition of the word.

[Ballygrl]

Annoy a Conservative by lying to him, annoy a Liberal by telling him the truth.

Glenn Beck does better than just quoting the left. He backs it up with video and audio of the idiot left and their anti-American remarks.

Yep he does but Pat is damn good at imitating voices so all the audio could be him.
