Demonic_ How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America - Ann Coulter [110]
The liberal rule is: Any criminal act committed by white men with guns is a right-wing conspiracy, whereas any criminal act committed by nonwhites with guns is the government violating someone’s civil liberties. (If a black man ever shot an abortionist, liberal brains would explode.)
Despite liberals designating all white male criminals “right wing,” right-wingers weren’t leaping to defend the Hutaree. They were planning on killing cops? Fine, lock ’em up.
Incidentally, it isn’t a crime to own guns or to dislike the government. In fact, each one gets a shout-out in the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence. As I recall, liberals were rather hopped-up about allegedly intrusive governmental powers during the Bush years. Indeed, the very people who would have been screaming about fascism in America if the Hutaree had been Muslim completely forget their “civil liberties” concerns with any criminal conspiracy involving white men.
Thus, for example, liberals portrayed the Lackawanna Six—six Yemenis who had attended an al Qaeda training camp with a Muslim terrorist involved in the bombing of the USS Cole—as high-spirited young lads in the wrong place at the wrong time. Evan Thomas sniffed in Newsweek that the evidence against them was “underwhelming.”45
Reprising the McVeigh refrain, Washington Post columnist (and MSNBC’s genuine black person) Eugene Robinson said of the Hutaree arrest, “The danger of political violence in this country comes overwhelmingly from one direction—the right, not the left. The vitriolic, anti-government hate speech that is spewed on talk radio every day—and, quite regularly, at Tea Party rallies—is calibrated not to inform but to incite.” Meanwhile, back here on Planet Truth, not only weren’t the Hutaree “right wing,” but the Michigan militia, which is right wing, was working with law enforcement to build the case against the Hutaree.
For the bow on top, it turned out … that the only member of the Hutaree who was registered with any party, Jacob J. Ward, was registered as a Democrat.46
A review of the endless political violence from liberals in this country solves a sick puzzle from American history. In Juan Williams’s book Eyes on the Prize, he describes an ugly confrontation during the integration of the Little Rock high school after Democrat governor Orval Faubus—and friend of Bill—sent troops to prevent black students from entering. As Elizabeth Eckford was being blocked from entering the school, she said, “I tried to see a friendly face somewhere in the mob.… I looked into the face of an old woman, and it seemed a kind face, but when I looked at her again, she spat on me.”47
A normal person winces at that story and wonders how any American could treat a fellow citizen with such hatred. Who are these people?
And then you remember Cindy Sheehan, also an innocent-looking older woman howling about “this lying bastard, George Bush” … “that filth-spewer and warmonger, George Bush” … “They’re a bunch of f**king hypocrites!” … “Is there yet any sane adult in this country whose skin does not crawl when this murderous liar [Paul Wolfowitz] opens his mouth and speaks?” … “The biggest terrorist is George W. Bush.”48
And you remember the sixty-two-year-old woman delivering Bush-Cheney stickers to a friend on the Upper West Side of Manhattan before the 2004 election who was attacked in the lobby of her friend’s building by an eighty-two-year-old resident, who shouted, “Get out of here with that trash,” ripped up one of the stickers, and hit the woman with her cane.49
You remember Weatherman Eleanor Raskin’s mother, whose behavior at Weatherman protests was described by a fellow liberal as “excessive,” “unseemly,” and
