Desperately Distorting The Tea Parties
Written by Brian Garst, Posted in Media Bias
Yesterday was tax day, which meant hundreds of thousands of regular Americans organized and protested Obama’s reckless spending of the money our children haven’t earned yet. The left, and their allies in the media, have been desperate to paint the protests as manufactured by “corporate interests,” rather than the spontaneous and organic outgrowth of legitimate citizen rage with our tyrannical liberal government. As usual, the left is projecting their own tactics (Axelturfing, for instance) onto the right. But it’s the left that pays people to protest. It’s the left that funnels money from George Soros to pretend grassroots movements. The right doesn’t use these Alinsky tactics; Obama does.
Another reason the left just can’t believe these protests are real is because the protesters didn’t behave as typical leftist protesters do. They didn’t destroy property. They didn’t battle with police. These are law abiding citizens fed up with the destructive behavior of their government. They had no intention to join in that mindless destruction of American property.
Liberals must believe that this isn’t real, because they have deluded themselves into believing that everyone supports their reckless spending. They can’t handle ideological differences, because they can’t defend their ideology against a challenge. They’d rather pretend you don’t exist than defend their positions. But in the end that will be their downfall. They won’t be able to acknowledge the tide that will sweep them from office until the water’s receding, with their failed government in tatters in its wake.
