Opposites Day

Mark Levin last night said that all Barack Obama has to offer this country is fear.

Sean Hannity has accused Obama of “talking down America every chance he gets.”

Are they listening to the same guy I’m listening to?

I’d like to use the words of another blogger (actually two of them) in response:

If you are undecided – and I am at a complete loss for how you could be – please consider the following:

Which party has been screaming terrorist, socialist, Marxist, murder him and kill him… and which party has been talking about hope and unity.

Which party has been throwing everything but the kitchen sink at you everyday for the past two weeks hoping to scare you into thinking that there is an Un-American part of the country… and which party has been sayng that there is no red America and no blue America but only the United States of America.

Which party thinks war is the answer to everything… and which party has suggested that maybe we need to sit down and talk this out to see if peace is possible.

Why can’t I just be OK with the fact that right-wingers love to accuse Democrats of being everything they, themselves, are?

I keep hearing about activist judges, when their lot pulled off the greatest single incident of activist judgment the world has ever seen:

With one reckless and partisan ruling, [the Supreme Court] squandered its most precious possession: its reputation. It may take years, even decades, to repair the damage done by the Scalia-Rehnquist court’s decision to cancel the election and crown the winner.

Perfect justice does not exist. But this was judicial folly, politically explosive and judicially threadbare. This was the court stepping in and awarding victory to one side before the game was over. Even those of us who don’t often agree with the court’s conservative majority expected better.

As Justice Stevens wrote in his savage dissent, “The position by the majority of this court can only lend credence to the most cynical appraisal of the work of judges throughout the land … Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year’s election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the nation’s confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law.”

And just last week, Sean Hannity claimed on his program that if UN workers can be sent to other countries to oversee elections, why can’t they be sent to the US?

In fact, Jimmy Carter suggested such action in 2004 in light of the election heist of 2000, while Michael Moore was pleading for Carter and the UN to head down to Florida way back in 2000.

But now that it looks like voters are likely to initiate another Democratic wave this election, all the right-wingers are crying voter fraud.

Boo… Hoo…

It’s always opposites day on right-wing radio. Look in the mirror, guys. You’re all staring at yourselves.

Must be real frustrating when the shoe is on the other foot. It’s all they can talk about.
