QOTD: Ace of Spades Edition
This is part of a very long post regarding the meme being shaped by the left:
If even a left-winger can’t resist Rush Limbaugh’s commands to kill when he doesn’t even hear them, what possible chance is there that the 60% of the Tea Party which is primed to murder will resist his call when they do hear it?
As they say, RTWT.
No wonder these idiots were fooled by the Soviets. They believe whatever they need to believe. Even if it contradicts something else they need to believe.
Except for a few. The ones who are at least slightly in touch with reality and logic, and still mouth the most preposterous things they can think of of, just because they believe saying such things gives them a tactical advantage over their ideological opponents.
Hard to look inside anyone’s head and figure out which group a particular leftist might be in. But I’m figuring Krugman is a great example of the second category.
Loughner is a “left winger” now… Yeah right, Billy, the Right never does this sort of thing do they?
Pogue, the voices in your head are getting out of control. Where is the “Loughner is a left winger” claim of which you speak?
From me, I mean. No doubt you can find others claiming any number of things. But your comment insinuated that I claim it.
Ace said it… you know… McQ’s “Quote of the Day”… from someone… you know… of prominence… from the Right.
Do you really not see these???
Uh, you know, McQ didn’t put the QOTD up there, you know?
My apologies, McQ.
Actually, can we say whether he is left or right?
He was Ozone (as in, “Off in..”), but based on his “reading list” would you say there’s an arrow that points one way or the other? Certainly not to the right, not with Marx. And government/mind-control conspiracies have been popular on both sides.
“Certainly not to the right, not with Marx.”
I have read Marx, Rosa Luxembug, and other communists. Does this mean I cannot be on the right? Someone’s reading list, by itself, does not necessarily determine their political idealogy.
Irrelevant. For Ace’s logic to hold it is merely sufficient that he not be right-wing. Call him left, call him moderate, call him anything else, it doesn’t matter, it’s the same point.
Ace has been on fire for the past 2 days.
the correct term is “en fuego” – get with the program.
What is with the “Together We Thrive” T-shirts reported to be at the memorial service.
Can’t anything in this world be genuine and personal ?
… sorry … I forgot, that was Jered Laughner’s shtick.
What is with the “Together We Thrive” T-shirts reported to be at the memorial service.
>>>> I don’t know, btu they can take the “together we thrive” bullspit and cram it with walnuts.
It’s been made PERFECTLY clear over the past few days just how much of a sham that statement is.
Unity my a**…..
You can’t have a leftist event without a maudlin slogan. It’s in the rulebook.
Wait, so Loughner is a “left winger” now!?!?
I see, fighting fire with fire. Even if it isn’t true.
Nice.
So, what is he?
He is what McQ and others said he is when this first happened – an insane, apolitical assh*le.
But that won’t stop the Left AND the Right from pointing fingers at each other.
And playing the part of Scott Erb with his phony moral equivalance will be PogueMahone.
Erb was more sincere, although Pogue has better delivery.
Both have significant intellectual maturity issues.

Read the whole thing, that’s not what is being said.
I think you’re missing the point, Pogue (as usual). Ace is identifying an argument/meme being proposed to pin the AZ shooting on right-wing rhetoric, with which the left intends to silence the right. He’s not trying to claim that Loughner’s a lefty here.
Actually, RFK, Jr. floats exactly the argument in the Huffington Post that Ace identifies:
Via AP.
Wow, he can really stir up the draaaaama. What a load of sh*t.
Quite.
I remember watching one of those ubiquitous JFK assassination documentaries, and one point they made was that the reports of widespread cheering when the news broke were largely absolute BS. (I’m sure there were some) OTOH, when Reagan was shot…
Hypocrisy is one thing, but this stuff in the past five days is beyond pathological. Alinsky must be smiling.
“and one point they made was that the reports of widespread cheering when the news broke were largely absolute BS”
My my, how helpful when they nearly completely controlled the national narrative at the time.
And people wonder why it’s important….simple, it’s what becomes HISTORY.
Doug Powers at Michelle Malkin’s blog points out that a name is conspicuously absent from young Bobby’s column:
Lee Harvey Oswald
It has also occured to me that SanFran Nan has played the game of pinning a murder on “right-wing hate” when the murderer was far from a right-winger:
An uncharacteristically emotional [hard to portray emotion when your face is frozen from too many Botox injections, I suppose - dj505] Nancy Pelosi is warning Republicans — and other groups getting whipped up over the health care debate — not to incite unstable supporters who might repeat acts of violence that struck San Francisco in the 1970s.
A top Pelosi aide later confirmed reporters’ suggestions that her statement was a reference to the City Hall murder of gay rights activist Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone in November 1978 — an earth-shattering experience for Bay Area Democrats like the speaker.
O’ course, the story doesn’t bear too much scrutiny. Milk and Moscone were murdered by Dan White, a former San Francisco city supervisor who’d resigned and tried to get his job back. Oh, did I mention that White was a democrat?
I’m waiting for more “analysis” pieces to demonstrate that right-wing hate was responsible for the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, John Lennon, and Julius Caesar. Et tu, Sarah?
What a remarkable memory. And so perceptive and well informed for a nine year old boy.
Somebody (I believe it was Mark Levin) asked if any lefties have come out and called for the death penalty for the shooter. I’m pretty sure that they’ve all been busy calling for the death penalty for Sarah Palin, Rush, Beck, et al.
You still don’t get it! They ARE the shooters. Loughner was just a puppet, the tool they used to advance their nefarious scheme. Nutjobs don’t kill people, righties do.
