Keeping Hate Alive: The Dem/Lefty/'Progressive' Way

"The sad reality is that the political left needs racism. They need it as both an issue and a weapon to discredit those who disagree with them.

They need to keep hate alive."
.
Noteworthy:

"Joining the Kansas City Star writer in his quest to keep the race issue alive, it pains me to say, is a hero of the Civil Rights movement, Rep. John Lewis (D-GA). The twenty-year veteran of the House of Representatives earlier this month had the audacity to compare John McCain to segregationist Gov. George Wallace.

'Senator McCain and Governor Palin are sowing the seeds of hatred and division, and there is no need for this hostility in our political discourse,' Lewis said in a statement.

'George Wallace never threw a bomb. He never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights,' Lewis added. 'Because of this atmosphere of hate, four little girls were killed on Sunday morning when a church was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama.'

What specifically did John McCain or Sarah Palin do to deserve being compared to an icon of segregation?

Lewis was right when he said that Wallace 'created the climate and the conditions' that led to the murder of four children in a church bombing. Can any fair-minded person legitimately argue that McCain or Palin has said anything remotely as horrific as Wallace did in his career? No."

...and:

"Question and criticize at your own risk.

That is the new motto of the Democratic Party as well as the Progressive movement in the United States. Expect to be labeled a racist, sexist, homophobe, fascist or any term that means hate, if you question or disagree with their ideas".

We're already used to that sort of thing from them.....
