You
Know The Left Truly Fears a GOP
Candidate When…
Posted by Repair_Man_Jack
Thursday, August 11th
Some
on the Left have begun to fear
Texas Governor Rick Perry. He has increasingly dropped not-so-subtle
hints
about a run for the White House. This has caused the usual and
predictable
sources to start unloading the smears.
The
second a leftist fears a
Conservative politician; they immediately whip out either the race card
or the
class warfare card. Texas Governor Rick Perry doesn’t have that air of
being
born to the manor. Thus, to smear Governor Perry, it pretty much has to
be race
card. Yet the race card, at least according to Jon Stewart, is maxed
out.
Therefore, a certain propaganda subtlety is required.
Salon
Magazine, noted for its staff of
disingenuous Leftist twits, has found another one in Justin Elliot. He
shows us
how the oblique accusation of racial bigotry will be steadily executed
against
Rick Perry in the paragraph below.
A
1998 voting guide published by a leading
neo-Confederate group and obtained by Salon not only endorses Perry for
lieutenant governor but also describes him as “a member of the Sons of
Confederate Veterans.” Perry’s office did not respond to a request for
comment
about the governor’s possible membership in the Sons of Confederate
Veterans.
(HT:
Legal Insurrection)
Governor
Perry wasted no time in
disputing the factual basis of Justin Elliot’s ridiculous claim. Elliot
soon
heard from the Governor’s Spokeswoman and issued an update to his Salon
Exclusive, that demonstrated how simple it is to run an exclusive when
you
don’t burden yourself with boring details like checking for facts. He
was too
busy photo-shopping Gov. Perry’s face into the Stars and Bars, and
apparently
couldn’t be bothered.
How
Amatuers Play The Race Card...
UPDATE
7/14/11: Perry spokeswoman
Catherine Frazier issues this denial: “[T]he governor never joined that
group
nor has he ever paid any dues to it.”
Elliot
was not to be daunted. His
target was sighted and he would not relent. We now have learned that
the
supposed “C” and “D” student at Texas Art and Music University had a
deep
admiration for classical Muslim religious scholarship. So much so that
our
intrepid reporter, Mr. Elliot wouldn’t let the facts stand in the way
of the
Good Ship Jolly Old Polemic. He dubbed Rick Perry the “Pro-Sharia”
Candidate.
Again he ran with the blatantly offensive photo-shop job. This time it
features
the French pastry and The Star instead of The Stars and Bars.
Does
Rick Perry Secretly Dig French
Pastry?
Justin
Elliot is floating the trial
balloons. He behaves like a howler monkey chucking feces against a wall
until
something successfully sticks. He is an early warning of what the
Democratic
Party will be doing every day between now and Election Day 2012.
We,
as Conservatives need to defend
our own. As a caller to Sean Hannity’s program put it yesterday, “The
Obama
White House will attempt to irradiate any Republican who looks
formidable
between now and the next election.” It’s up to the GOP to defend rather
than
devour our own. When a Leftist accuses you of extreme speech, just show
him
Photo-Shop Daddy, Justin Elliot at work.
