Democrats Gone Wild!

How many hate crime anecdotes does
it take before the mainstream media spot a trend? If the
victims are politically correct, all it takes is one or
two.

One alleged name-calling. A few

alleged acts of

vandalism. A suspicious arson

here or there. In an instant, an unsubstantiated
attack against the right kind of ethnic, racial,
religious or sexual minority becomes undisputed evidence
of an epidemic of violence. A symbol of

rising hate. A national crisis.

But what happens when the targets
are the

wrong kind of victim? What happens when
conservatives and Republicans are on the receiving end
of

discriminatory threats or harassment or worse?

Hello, reporters? Is

anybody home? Is it my imagination, or do I hear
pins dropping in the grievance corners of America`s
otherwise

victim-friendly newsrooms?

For the past several weeks, the
Internet has been buzzing with story after story of
election-related mayhem aimed at Bush/Cheney supporters.
Some have downplayed the incidents as run-of-the-mill
pranks. Others claim that "both sides are doing it"
equally.

Yes, both Democratic and Republican
signs have been torn. Yes, there has been juvenile
behavior on both sides. But left-wing activists have
escalated their campaign attacks to a seemingly
unprecedented level. We have gone from simple mischief
to

open-season malice. And the supposedly objective
reporters who are always so willing to

connect the dots to expose the

politics of hate are now whistling past the smashed
windows and flaming signs and bullet holes.

In Madison, Wis., someone burned an

8-foot-by-8-foot Nazi swastika on a homeowner`s
lawn, which had been decorated with Bush-Cheney signs.
The vandals used grass killer to spray the hate symbol
(it`s OK, Bush-hating
trumps environmentalism). Several other homes nearby
were vandalized.

In Orlando, Fla., Democrats stormed
the local Bush/Cheney headquarters, and the ensuing
melee resulted in physical injuries to at least two
Republican campaign workers. The liberal protesters
justified their actions—including ramming the head of
one of the workers into an office door—by blaming
President Bush`s

"negative campaign."

So, the

30-second ads made them do it. It`s always someone
else`s fault.

In Knoxville, Tenn., someone shot
into the

Bush/Cheney headquarters. Shots were also fired into
Bush/Cheney offices in Huntington, W. Va., and Florida.
The GOP office in

Gallatin County, Mont., was vandalized twice in less
than a week. Republican offices in the Seattle area,

Spokane, Wash.,

Canton, Ohio,

Fairbanks, Alaska, and
Edwardsville, Ill., have also been burglarized
and/or vandalized.

On an Alaska-bound flight, a
drunken

Kerry supporter went ballistic after harassing a
female Bush supporter and refusing to calm down at the
request of flight attendants. In Gainesville, Fla.,

police arrested a Democrat accused of punching the
chairman of the Alachua County Republican Executive
Committee in the face at the town Republican
headquarters. The accused, David McCally, also punched a
life-sized, cardboard cutout of President George Bush.
McCally is a

community college instructor whose specialty is
social and behavioral sciences.

According to the GOP chairman,
Travis Horn, McCally hurled obscenities at him before
the assault.

"He proceeded to say how he had a Ph.D., and he was
smarter than me. I`m a stupid Republican." And
that, no doubt, is the superior attitude held by media
reporters and anti-hate crime advocates and peace
preachers and civility pleaders who refuse to
acknowledge the totally unhinged tactics of Democrats
Gone Wild.

Liberals promise to do "whatever it
takes"—"by
any means necessary"—to win this election. If it
were conservatives mouthing those slogans as shattered
glass was flying and lawns were smoking, Karl Rove would
be under federal investigation.

Jimmy Carter would be requesting

U.N. assistance. And The

New York Times would be

calling for a National Day of Reconciliation.

A single act of hate is a danger to
the Republic, except when it`s fomented by bug-eyed,

rock-throwing, lighter-wielding Kerry/Edwards
supporters just exercising their "free speech."
