Dig in Deep

From J.R. Dunn at AmericanThinker.com:

The situation today involving the Palin family is a High Noon moment, a moment where you must make a choice. A choice between taking a stand or remaining with head forever bowed. You will not find a line drawn clearer — you can stand with the Governor Palin and her family (and only secondarily with John McCain, who almost despite himself represents the political aspects of decency in our time), or you can join the other side, the side that excuses the public destruction of a young girl for the sake of political power.

I don’t care whether you’re liberal, conservative, or something else. There’s one thing you should agree with me on.

The media’s treatment of Sarah Palin, and her family, has been outright shameful.

And while Obama himself rightly declared Palin’s family as “off-limits,” he has encouraged shameful attacks against Palin (making disparaging remarks about her experience as a mayor, without any reference to her experience as a governor), and his campaign has been making some outrageous arguments against her. But his die-hard supporters – those who brought him to where he is now, including the left-wing bloggers – have been perpetrating some of the worst smears and lies ever thrown at a major political candidate. And this is saying a lot, given their hate and contempt for George W. Bush.

If you’re voting for Obama this year, you need to understand the kind of awful stuff found on the left that is being used in support of him. Read the kind of stuff the DailyKos has and then compare it to the truth. And whatever you do, don’t go over to the Huffington Post and poke around. Some of the worst blog posts I’ve ever read were posted over there, about Sarah Palin – including things taking existing sexual innuendo about moms and turning them into sexual innuendo about vice presidents.

My overall point it is – conservatives have their wackos, but they are quite marginalized. When have you ever heard of an immensely popular conservative blog, full of comments from people who wanted to bomb abortion clinics, make fully automatic weapons legal, or arrest homosexuals? It just doesn’t happen. But if you pay attention to the left, they are truly angry, and they are truly vindictive. They are truly ready to push for massive tax increases, stoke wealth envy, eliminate corporate profits, and use fear of global warming as a tool to destroy capitalism.

Most importantly, they will save their most vile vindictiveness for any Jew, African-American, or woman that stands in their way. If you understand the history of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas, and now see the parallel with Sarah Palin, you need to understand the devilish liberal wing that Obama is reliant upon to have any life in the political arena.

Then, when you understand the nature of Obama’s relationships and dealings with figures such as Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, and others – DailyKos and Huffington Post are on the Obama campaign’s official Google Reader list of sites, by the way – you start to understand that Obama is perfectly comfortable with such atrocious human behavior.

It’s high noon. Will you do the research to understand this, and make an informed decision based on character, as well as ideology? Or will you vote for the uninformed, nebulous vision of “change?”
