Freakout On the Left
The Democratic Party has been making a fool of itself ever since Election Day. (Before that too, probably, but that’s a different post.) An utter lack of self-awareness apparently disables Democrats from understanding that 1) they lost the presidential election because they nominated the worst candidate of modern times, 2) they have been losing ground across the large majority of America for a decade or longer, and now are at best a minority party everywhere except California, New York and a few other enclaves, and 3) their party’s leadership is uniformly both geriatric and corrupt.
A lefty named James Kunstler turns a jaundiced eye on his fellow liberals, and dissects their “Russia hacked the election!” theme:
- The headline deployed everywhere last week, “Russia Hacks Election,” was designed by the Deep State players to deviously lead the broadly dim public to think that Russia somehow interfered with the balloting process, which was not possible since voting machines are not hooked up to the internet. And then it was repeated endlessly by the cable news networks and the newspapers, under the number one rule of propaganda: that if you repeat something often enough, the public will swallow it.
This dishonest meme was also designed to distract the public from the substance of the emails disclosed by WikiLeaks — namely, the scamming and trickery of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and the influence-peddling of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, which had her flirting with indictment last summer, and only reinforced her already-established public image as an unscrupulous person.
The New York Times especially worked the “Russia Hacks Election” story to a fare-the-well, saying in its Sunday edition:
- The Central Intelligence Agency has concluded that Moscow put its thumb on the scale for Mr. Trump through the release of hacked Democratic emails, which provided fodder for many of the most pernicious false attacks on Mrs. Clinton on social media.
False attacks? What, that Hillary’s cronies put the DNC’s “thumb on the scale” against Bernie Sanders? That Donna Brazille gave Hillary debate questions beforehand? That as Secretary of State Hillary gave more face-time to foreign supplicants based on their contributions to the Clinton Foundation, and expedited arms deals for especially big givers? That she collected millions in speaking fees for sucking up to Too-Big-To-Fail bankers? That The Times and The WashPo and CNN reporters were taking direction from Hillary’s PR operatives?
Consider, too, how the Deep State “Russia Hacks Election” meme was ramped up to top volume coincidentally the week before the electoral college vote, as a last-ditch effort was launched by the old-line media, the diehard Hillary partisans, and a bunch of Hollywood celebrities, to persuade electoral college delegates to switch their votes to deprive Trump of his election victory. *** There’s been some chagrin among more prudent observers that neither the various Intel gang chiefs, including James Clapper, overall Director of National Intelligence, nor the White House have provided a shred of evidence that WikiLeaks got the Hillary emails from the Russians. One might even suppose that we discovered the hack by hacking the Russians, perhaps even Mr. Putin’s personal iPhone — but, wait a minute… we don’t intrude on other nations’ business. We don’t use the internet to spy (!) on anybody.
A perceptive reader comments:
- Whence the “strange new respect” on the left for secret intelligence agencies?? And the sudden extreme antipathy toward Russia? That’s the new propaganda line promulgated by the Inner Party agitprop media organs? OK, got it:
- We Are At Cold War With Russia. We Have Always Been At Cold War With Russia.
The Secret Intelligence Agencies Are Trustworthy. The Secret Intelligence Agencies Have Always Been Trustworthy.
It is impossible to overstate how rankly partisan the MSM doubletalk is.

We are seeing much of the same on this board.

Yes, the radical left continues it's conspiratorial "politics of national destruction" policies. A result of progressive political ideological inbreeding...... like with the increasing growth of fatherless children, they have become tools of lawlessness. It's happened before.

Attacking the source without any reference to the content is probably the weakest form of discussion and/or debate. It adds nothing or detracts nothing and therefore is not even worthy of being taken with any amount of salt.

Colo does the same, I think Stoner learned from him. I say let the left remain status quo, they will take the Dem party down even further.

It has been established beyond reasonable doubt that the Russians hacked the DNC.

LOL Prove it. That means that You and Trump and all the other Der Donald supporters have more confidence in Putin than in all the american intelligence agencies. Some would call that a bit un american.
Par for the conservative course.
