Demonic_ How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America - Ann Coulter [24]
A liberal is a person who:
• worships President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who carpet-bombed German cities and executed an American-born spy captured on U.S. soil after a secret military trial—but screams that Bush was guilty of war crimes;
• is crazy about Michael Moore—but against child obesity;
• tapes over the sign that said “Too Many Jews at Harvard” with a sign that says, “Ethnic Quotas This Way”;
• is enraged with Karl Rove for releasing the name of a CIA paper-pusher (which he didn’t do)—but are copacetic with WikiLeaks putting hundreds of thousands of classified national security documents on the Internet;
• categorically opposes the death penalty for convicted murderers—but venerates it as a “constitutional right” for innocent, unborn babies;
• hysterically opposed taking out Saddam Hussein, a mass murderer who gassed his own people and presided over “rape rooms”—but weepily demands that we intervene in Rwanda for humanitarian reasons;
• claims to be pro-children—but supports the public schools;
• champions women’s and gay rights—but ignores the brutal treatment of women and gays by Muslims;
• same sentence as above, except take out the words “gay” and replace the word “Muslims” with “Bill Clinton”;
• claims it was a vicious slander to be called a communist in the fifties—but didn’t see anything wrong with being a communist in the fifties;
• advocates unfettered scientific research and debate—but then, with no evidence, simply declares discussions about evolution and global warming closed;
• says women should be treated like men—but then demands a vast network of speech laws that assume women are hothouse flowers;
• yelps for clean, alternative energy—but violently opposes nuclear power;
• supports sustainable energy sources like offshore wind farms—unless the offshore wind farm obscures his view from Cape Cod;
• decries stereotyping—but when a black conservative comes along denounces that person as “unqualified,” “stupid,” a “house nigga,” “an Uncle Tom,” or “window dressing”;
• believes Tea Partiers are terrorists—but Islamic jihadists are victims;
• as mayor of New York City, closes off streets to traffic, clogs the remaining streets with bike lanes to be “green”—and then takes off in one of his two Gulfstream jets to London.
This welter of contradictions doesn’t even embarrass liberals. Why? Because they are a mob.

CRACKPOT CONSPIRACY
THEORIES—
OR, AS LIBERALS CALL
THEM, “THEORIES”
Mobs are particularly susceptible to myths. Le Bon says, “The creation of the legends which so easily obtain circulation in crowds is not solely the consequence of their extreme credulity. It is also the result of the prodigious perversion that events undergo in the imagination of a throng.”1
Ask any liberal if Sarah Palin boasted of her foreign policy experience by saying, “I can see Russia from my house.” In real life, Palin had responded to Charlie Gibson’s question about the proximity of Russia to Alaska by remarking that Russia could “actually be seen from Alaska.” The “I can see Russia from my house!” line was from a Saturday Night Live sketch. But facts are irrelevant to liberal beliefs.
Then in 2010, there were two famous videos, run on TV over and over again, that showed one thing, with liberals demanding that everyone admit the videos showed something else. It was like watching North Korean TV.
The first video was of several black congressmen walking through an anti-ObamaCare protest at the Capitol in March 2010 before the final health care vote. The media neurotically reported that the civil rights hero John Lewis was spat at and called the N-word fifteen times on the video—although the videos of the congressmen walking through the protest showed no such thing. Finally, Andrew Breitbart offered a $100,000 reward for anyone who could produce a video of any black congressman being called the
