Letter to the Beacon--December 22-2010

Aw, come on Lefties! Make a New Year's resolution to get some new talking points, some new material, and some new writers. Your repetitious regurgitation of reckless rhetoric is not only devoid of a factual basis but it's become boring!
We've heard the nauseating narrative of "the Tea Party is racist; the Tea Party is anarchy; the Tea Party is hate-mongering; etc." for over a year and you're wrong on all counts. For instance, the Tea Party Patriots do not receive any funding from Rupert Murdoch, the Koch brothers, or Dick Armey. Shall we discuss the Leftist causes and operations funded by George Soros and MoveOn.org and supported by the Huffington Post, Salon, and all the talking heads on CNN and MSNBC?
I'm sure you're aware of the letter published by Salon that called for Sarah Palin to be tortured and killed or the obscenity laden rant of Aaron Sorkin published in the Huffington Post. As for the Ku Klux Klan being a "Far Right Wing movement," that is so nonsensical as to be comical. A little basic research would uncover the fact that PBS was absolutely correct when they labeled the KKK as the "terrorist arm of the Democratic Party."
Any "screeching" you may be hearing is not that of Sarah Palin but the echo of Socialist dreams plunging into the abyss of fiscal irresponsibility created by the current administration. As for her "generalship," you failed to note that over 70% of her endorsements were elected to office during this past election cycle, all on Constitutional and fiscally conservative principles. As for the "depth of an empty spoon" attempt at mockery, this could have only been made out of ignorance. Anyone who has actually read her books, actually read her many editorial policy and opinion pieces, or actually listened to her speeches would easily recognize the depth and breadth of her interests and knowledge. But then, name calling is so much easier than actually discussing policy differences isn't it?
The "empty spoon" is probably more appropriate for feeding pablum to infants who can't handle mature food. As noted by LBJ, "Democracy is a constant tension between truth and half-truth and, in the arsenal of truth, there is no greater weapon than fact." Next year, resolve to get your facts straight. And by the way, I can already see November, 2012 from my house!
