I’ve been saying this since January – The Tea Party is the main target of the Dem Socialists, this year, knocking Bush and Sarah Palin off of the top spots.
Gabe at AoSHQ notes the obvious:
It’s almost like they have no plan at all to fish the economy out of the toilet. Instead, the story will be the Tea Party, which…racist!
What the strategy actually is, is to agitate the unhinged moonbat base out there and vote. They will do that by using the Pavlovian terms, “Teabaggers!”, “racists!”, and “racist teabaggers!” Unfortunately for them, they’ve worn out the race card, and the tea party isn’t as reviled as they would like to think.
Here’s a related excerpt from the latest must read by Charles Krauthammer: The last refuge of a liberal:
It is a measure of the corruption of liberal thought and the collapse of its self-confidence that, finding itself so widely repudiated, it resorts reflexively to the cheapest race-baiting (in a colorful variety of forms). Indeed, how can one reason with a nation of pitchfork-wielding mobs brimming with “antipathy toward people who aren’t like them” — blacks, Hispanics, gays and Muslims — a nation that is, as Michelle Obama once put it succinctly, “just downright mean”?
The Democrats are going to get beaten badly in November. Not just because the economy is ailing. And not just because Obama over-read his mandate in governing too far left. But because a comeuppance is due the arrogant elites whose undisguised contempt for the great unwashed prevents them from conceding a modicum of serious thought to those who dare oppose them.
Out of the park!
Meanwhile, Jonah Goldberg uses a Jaws analogy to describe the atmosphere in Washington, right now: Townhall: Dorsal Fins Surround White House:
You’ve got to wonder when White House political guru David Axelrod will look at the churning pools of poll data and, like Chief Brody in “Jaws,” say: “We’re gonna need a bigger boat.”
The analogy isn’t quite right, because in the movie, the shark ultimately loses. It’s hard to imagine a scenario where Barack Obama and Axelrod victoriously paddle away on the flotsam of their own political wreckage. But in one sense, the analogy works just fine: This White House is rudderlessly lost at sea and inadequate to the challenges it faces.
Keep reading. It’s a good piece.

Someone is clearly starved for attention….
Here is someone who does deserve our attention:
Shiva Nazar Ahari
The 26 year old is currently languishing in Evin prison, after repeated arrests for her support for human rights campaigns. The Weekly Standard asks: Will Obama Try to Save Iranian Shiva Nazar Ahari?:
…the most serious charge against Ahari is “mohareb” (rebellion against God), which carries with it the death penalty.
The prosecutor’s latest line is that she is an agent of Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MeK), a terrorist organization that in the 70s killed Khomeinists and Americans alike and later drew the support of Saddam Hussein.
There is of course no evidence of Ahari’s affiliation with MeK, but the state-run website Rajanews has circulated the accusation in advance of her trial–never a good sign. As Freedom House’s advocacy director Paula Schriefer put it, “An accusation of terrorist involvement in Iran is often used by the government as a justification for execution,” and since Ahari stands to appear before Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court, she’ll almost certainly face a guilty verdict and be killed.
Somebody, do something.
