Left To Poison Tea Parties

In two days, Tax Day, Americans in communities coast-to-coast will come together to protest high taxes and Big Government. The events are being organized by the Tea Parties, and this year the Left is coming too. Not to learn anything. No, these open-minded, tolerant progressives have already made up their minds. They’re going to poison the atmosphere in a despicable attempt to smear the Tea Party movement and anyone who dares to defend the ideas of liberty and limited government.

Throughout my political life – from high school in Kentucky to today – I have witnessed the increasingly aggressive efforts of the Left to disparage normal conservative attitudes as hateful intolerance and bigotry. That effort gained momentum in previous decades when the Left demonized pro-life conservatives as “radical extremists.” More recently, anyone who thought that marriage meant the union of one man and one woman was denounced as a bigot.

This effort left many people in the political, media and academic establishments embarrassed by the millions of Americans who cherish traditional values. It left many Americans hesitant to speak up and engage in political debates. Emboldened by that success, the Left is doing it now to the Tea Party folks over economic issues. How many times have opponents of socialized medicine been accused of racism?

Many conservatives have been suspicious in recent weeks as we’ve seen the media’s attention eagerly drawn to outrageous signs at rallies and unsubstantiated accusations. Now our suspicions have been confirmed. One site, www.crashtheteaparty.org, claims to have 65 activists in major cities planning to infiltrate the April 15th rallies.

The goal, according to the Associated Press, is to “further distance the tea party from mainstream America and damage the public’s opinion of them.” The site’s creator said, “Do I think every member of the Tea Party is a homophobe, racist or moron? No. …Do I think most of them are homophobes, racists or morons? Absolutely.” And when the Left fails to find evidence of racism and bigotry, it will simply create it.

I guarantee you that someday we’ll learn that money from Code Pink, George Soros and MoveOn.org is funding these disgusting smear tactics. The liberals running Washington, D.C., like to talk about bipartisanship and cooperation while their henchmen are engaged in political terrorism to delegitimize the great majority of the American people.

Unfortunately, it’s getting worse. Have you heard about Allee Bautsch? Bautsch happens to be a top fundraiser for Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. She and her boyfriend were viciously attacked after leaving a fundraising event Friday night in New Orleans.

According to local media, “Bautsch suffered a broken leg and her boyfriend suffered a concussion and a fractured nose and jaw in the incident.” One person who visited Bautsch in the hospital said that the couple was “followed and attacked expressly because they had Palin pins on.” While the media obsess for days over rumors about the Tea Party, violent attacks against conservatives just somehow aren’t newsworthy.
