    Default Heeeeere we go!

    The lefties have got themselves a new catch phrase and it's all the rage. Expect to hear "false equivalency" a few hundred times a week. In a nutshell, and when you think about it, that may be the world's greatest pun, it means if Obama says "hand to hand combat" or "bring a gun" to a fight, he's being metaphorical but when the GOP says something like "beat them in November" or "target them for defeat" in an election, those are open calls for violence against the Dems.

    If you allege that there's no difference, and rightfully so, expect to get pelted with mouth-frothing screams of "false equivalency"

    It is highly likely to be deployed relentlessly in an attempt to silence speech from the right.

    Oh yeah, this has been coming since the AZ shootings. Related that I saw this morning:

    I do not want civil discourse

    For a decade, from the election of Bush 43 forward, the Left has lied and cheated as it tried to return to power. Al Gore made a mockery out of the American electoral system by being a spoilsport over Florida, which Bush indeed won by 537 votes. Dan Rather forged a document to try to derail Bush’s re-election. Twice Democrats stole U.S. senators from the Republicans. After voting to support the war to get by the 2002 election, many Democrats quickly soured on the war. The profane protests were cheered by liberals who misattributed “dissent is the highest form of patriotism”to Thomas Jefferson; the words belong to the late historian Howard Zinn.

    Once in power, liberals were the opposite of gracious.

    For two years now, I have been called ignorant, racist, angry and violent by the left. The very foul-mouthed protesters of Bush dare to now label my words as “hate speech.”

    Last week, the left quickly blamed the right for the national tragedy of a shooting spree by a madman who never watched Fox News, never listened to Rush Limbaugh and likely did not know who Sarah Palin is.

    Fortunately, the American public rejected out of hand that idiotic notion that the right was responsible.

    Rather than apologize, the left wants to change the tone of the political debate.

    The left suddenly wants civil discourse.

    Bite me.

    The left wants to play games of semantics.

    Bite me.

    The left wants us to be civil — after being so uncivil for a decade.

    Bite me...

    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
