Karen Harrington addresses crowd, primary victory, August 2010

by Nick Stone of Drawnlines Politics.

As news came this weekend of the tragic shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords D-AZ, friends and colleagues rightly offered condolences and praise for the popular politico.  Particularly close friend and ally Debbie Wasserman-Schultz D-FL issued a statement from her home district about the terrible event, where several bystanders were also killed or maimed.  The representative urged Congress to tone down political rhetoric in the wake of the tragedy and notably expounded that "words matter."

But do words matter to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz?

That proclamation is particularly amusing from Wasserman-Schultz who is known for her own highly partisan rhetoric.  While famous for being dangerously out of touch, Wasserman-Schultz has proven a penchant for keeping a straight face while telling bald faced lies.  She declared that the American people were feeling good about the state of our economy while the unemployment rate soared.  She also claimed on national television that the Obama economic plan would create more jobs in one year than President Bush had in 8.  Of course, that did not pan out to be true.


So do words matter to Wasserman-Schultz, or any other liberal activist for that matter?  Her party could hardly have more blood on their hands on matters of provocation of violence for political gain.  Last year when psychopath James Jay Lee held hostages at the Discovery Channel, the Left immediately blamed Tea Party rhetoric and so-called Right Wing Extremists for his actions.

Just one problem.  It turned out that Lee was an enviro-terrorist Left Wing nutjob, one of their own.  OOPS!

Whether it's liberal activist Jim Jones psyching people into drinking kool-aid on his compound or Barack Obama's friends Bernadette Dorn and William Ayers wishing they had "done more" to wreak havoc on America, Left Wing extremism has run amok in our society for generations.  We might fondly remember the cuddly characters that rioted in the streets of Chicago in 1968, the San Francisco Democrat that shot Harvey Milk, or even the psycho mass murderer (and close friend to Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter) John Wayne Gacy. Indeed liberals and violence go together like milk and cookies.  Saul Alinski would be proud.

Update!!!  On RealClearPolitics, Pat Buchanan reminds us that Lee Harvey Oswald - the man who shot Democratic President JFK - was also a Castro-supportive, communist Russian spy.  He continues:

Undeniably, political rhetoric is hotter than it has been since the 1960s and ought to be dialed down. But Barack Obama, talking tough in 2008 about how he would deal with Republican attacks, himself said, "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun. ... Folks in Philly like a good brawl."

In 2010, Obama called on Hispanics to join him and "punish our enemies." Harry Reid in 2009 called Tea Party critics "evil-mongers" who disrupt town-hall meetings with "lies, innuendo and rumors."

Perhaps Wasserman-Schultz will turn over a new leaf and urge her own party to refrain from soaring, lofty, violent rhetoric.  If so, she deserves our praise.  But if she utters the words "Teabagger" or "Right Wing Extremist" to tie one psychopath to a peaceful and purely American movement for her own hyper-partisan opportunism, then she has a place secure in the darkest pits of Hell.

Here's some samples of liberal hatred inciting violence.  Here's more partisan video of what liberals have said so far (below):

And of course let's not forget inspirational, non-partisan rhetoric from other leading liberals!

Please watch and read this pre-election message to readers of Drawnlines Politics:



This election isn't an abstract exercise in government. It's about whether or not this country is on the right path.

I certainly don't think it is. Do you?

Pelosi, Reid and Obama told voters that we should give them the reins of government because Republicans were corrupt, didn't listen to the minority, and spent too much money. And you know, what? They were right.

But four years into Democratic Congress and half way through President Obama's term, the swamp has more surly creatures in it than ever. Spending has reached unfathomable heights. Deficits that were awful have ballooned into orbit.

Of course massive new federal programs, thousands of pages of new regulations and rainstorms of Chinese money have done nothing to grow our economy or put Americans back to work. They have only put Obama's boot on the throat of the American economy.

And Obama's plan?

The president thinks we can solve the crisis with more spending, more regulation, and even more new government programs. It's sad.

A US Senator is one out of only 100 voices that determine the direction of our country. So we can't afford to chance sending the president another rubber stamp vote for his agenda.

Florida must not squander our opportunity and duty to send proven conservatives to Washington that we can count on to hold the line against President Obama's radical, unaffordable economic plan.

Marco Rubio must be the next senator from the great state of Florida.

I understand why some of you at home personally like Charlie Crist. So do I. But again, this election isn't a personality contest. It isn't about who has the best soundbite or who can pander to the widest constituency.

This election is about a fork in the road between two Americas. Down one route, a strong America that provides jobs to her workers, growth to her investors and support to her allies. Down the other path? Well, more of the malaise, uncertainty and burdens that Americans shoulder right now. More taxes on every American family. More debt for our children, and an America unable and unwilling to rush to the aid of freedom-loving allies around the world.

So I ask you, on Election Day, will Florida send a senator to Washington to stand strong against President Obama's radical agenda, or will Florida provide the final "YES" vote for more of the same?

Its up to us to decide, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Join me in casting your ballot for Marco Rubio for US Senate.
