Frank Rich Unmasked

Gushy-mushy ultra-liberal Frank Rich breaks out his waving finger in The Obama Haters’ Silent Enablers, warning us all that the right is out for blood, violence & MAYHEM!!!

In his painfully strained analysis, Rich asserts that two recent violent incidents, Dr. George Tiller’s murder and the Holocaust museum murder are indications of a surge in right wing violence. Of course, he ignores the Army recruiters’ murder by a Muslim extremist – that just doesn’t factor in, you see. Like most leftists, Rich wastes no time in preposterously blaming the high-profile personalities of the center-right for inciting the violence through “rhetoric” against…. OBAMA!?! Writes Rich, “What is this fury about? … the new president.”

Yep. Mind-numbing, isn’t it? Sadly, this is how the left reasons:

Criticizing Obama = Responsibility for Killing George Tiller & Inciting racist violence against Jews

Yes, to the left, strong criticism of Obama invariably leads to increased right-wing violence. They think the DHS report on right wing extremism has been vindicated. It hasn’t – not at all.

What’s even worse, Rich’s strongest proof for his wacky assertion is…. Fox News’ Shepherd Smith??

Yes, the same Shepherd Smith who has been leaning slightly to the left as of late. Don’t get me wrong – I’m a big fan of Shep, but you can’t help but notice he gets emotional every now and then – that’s what makes him so entertaining and simultaneously prone to liberal outbursts.

Here is Frank Rich’s Big Proof that all hell is breaking loose on the right:

What’s up with the “feeding each other” and “more & more it seems like people are taking the extra step and getting the gun out?” Yeah, because Dr. Tiller’s murderer & Von Brunn both emailed Shep before they went out and did their heinous deeds… oh, wait – that never happened! Fact is people who email you are busy… emailing you and watching your TV show – NOT “getting the gun out.”

There is no evidence of a connection to the recent violence in the last two weeks and Obama becoming president. Rich’s piece is partly a lame attempt to paint the right as extremist and violent.

In concluding, Rich puts on his Doomsayer hat:

This kind of rhetoric, with its pseudo-Scriptural call to action, is toxic. It is getting louder each day of the Obama presidency. No one, not even Fox News viewers, can say they weren’t warned. [Background Thunder]

The true purpose behind Rich’s column is to attempt to lessen the legitimate criticism of Obama, which is obviously proving to be effective. The true danger is that conservatives will listen to Rich, Shep, & others on the left who want them to tone down the rhetoric.

So, keep it up conservatives! Don’t let up in your criticism of Obama & the Democrats’ schizophrenic spending & blatant attempts to inject more socialism into the already bloated and corrupt government. Don’t hesitate to voice your real concerns!
