Liberals gone wild (MORE: ANOTHER TESTY ELECTED DEM CAUGHT ON TAPE)

After the GOP’s losses last November in the election, and their attempts to regroup afterwards, as well as the continued battles for the soul of the party, many a “concerned” liberal has wondered if conservatives are “losing it.” They think worrying about the real threat of socialism in this country equates to conservatives “losing” their minds even though they themselves will acknowledge that they’re quite happy with the direction President Obama has steered this country in … they just don’t think it should be called “socialism.”

For your morning perusal, here are a couple of links to stories about liberals who have lost it in the political sense of the word:

— Michelle Malkin has video of Hot Air special correspondent Jason Mattera confronting Rep. Charlie Rangel on his ethical and financial woes. What Rangel tells Mattera to do should surprise no one considering how he’s treated questions along that front for the last several months now (as even the liberal NYT has found out).

— “Former” Republican (and I assume now staunch liberal) Frank Schaeffer goes on another wild tirade this morning at the HuffPo, where he “calls out” so-called “Republican traitors” who he says are “are the arsonists who burned down our national home.” This isn’t the first time this ‘former” Republican has unloaded on Republican “traitors.” You can see more liberal red meat here from Schaeffer, the author of “Crazy for God.” It should be no surpise that this shameless opportunist and clown is the latest “former” Republican turned “hero” to the far left.

These are just a couple examples of many. I really don’t understand it: liberals won the election last year … yet you couldn’t tell it by how bitter and angry they still are. Heck, you’d think GWB was still President by the way they’re handling themselves. Oh well. I guess children will be children.

PM Update: Gateway Pundit documents (scroll) another instance of an elected Democrat getting very testy when confronted with questions.

Frank Schaeffer’s words are going to do great damage to the conservative movement. He has given even more ammunition to the left.

Sister, I think that’s the start of an excellent point. The left has so long gnashed their teeth over power-envy, just as their entitlement-enslaved minions have held their seething wealth-envy, and it “perfect stormed” its way through the general election.

Result?

So-called leaders who have no leadership ability. Which leads to the necessary existence of an off-stage scapegoat (i.e. George W. Bush, Rush Limbaugh).

That is, with no inherent sense of moral or fiscal accountability, they must always have someone on hand to blame.

If anyone would like to see perhaps the most classic example of the pot calling the kettle black, read what deepok chopra had to say at the huffingtontoast this morn. It’s really very hard to figure out how anyone can have anything so backwards, but then i remembered how he has mangled spirituality in the exact same way.
I, perhaps belatedly, have come to the conclusion that Chopra’s spirituality is just a way for liberal atheists to get in on the religion action. Nothing more. Just a way to try and justify liberalism.

Unless forced outside of it, one tends to stay in one’s comfort zone. The libs/donks/whackos have been angry and hateful (insanely so in some cases) for eight solid years, and that’s their comfort zone. They won’t change.

Now the conservatives must be careful not to make that their comfort zone, too. They also have to be careful not to let the liberal anger/hate dictate who their (conservatives’) candidates are. Republicans have a tendancy to want everyone to love them, which is why we ended up with a donkey-light as our candidate for prez last year.

A couple more examples (funny how the wildness is coming out of the woodwork now):

– JammieWearingFool reports that NAMBLA has put a bounty on the head of NY Attorney General Andrew Cuomo for daring to keep convicted sexual predators off the streets.

– Michelle Malkin has tape of a Chicago alderman telling a constituent to “(g)et the <expletive deleted> out of my office” as he physically threw him out. (I see you got that one while I was posting

Maybe NC Cop can render an opinion, but it seems to me that what that Chicago alderman did met the definition of criminal assault. If I were the guy I’d sure be trying to press charges.

The alderman is boorish and stupid, definitely. And clearly he doesn’t care what happens to his constituents. And why should he – most of those sheep will continue to re-elect him until he retires or is packed off to a cell next to Blagojevich.

But I’m not sure this qualifies as assault, given that the citizen was in his office and presumably was asked to leave prior to being forcibly removed. If the alderman did this on a public street, then I’d agree.

But I also would defer to NC Cop’s opinion.

ah, I’ve seen Republicans called arsonists on more than one leftie blog recently. Now I know where they’re getting it from.
