Palin, Bachmann, and Hayes

When those on the left speak of the divisiveness of the right I do believe this is what we are talking about. From Governor Palin we have this: "We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation." Well excuse me, but exactly where are the anti- America areas of this great nation?? Looks to me like what she is really saying is simply this , places that vote Republican are pro-America. So, I just want to know what is pro-America about a Republican or Anti-America about a Democrat? Next up we have Rep. Bachmann who said, “What I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would. I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or Anti-America? I think the American people would love to see an expose like that.” Regarding Obama she said, “Absolutely, I’m very concerned that he may have anti-American views.” I don't know how others will see those comments but they remind me of McCarthyism. For those that have forgotten what McCarthysim is you can click here McCarthyism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . And for just a quick overview : During this time many thousands of Americans were accused of being Communists or communist sympathizers and became the subject of aggressive investigations and questioning before government or private-industry panels, committees and agencies. The primary targets of such suspicions were government employees, those in the entertainment industry, educators and union activists. Suspicions were often given credence despite inconclusive or questionable evidence, and the level of threat posed by a person's real or supposed leftist associations or beliefs was often greatly exaggerated. Many people suffered loss of employment, destruction of their careers, and even imprisonment. Most of these punishments came about through trial verdicts later overturned,[1] laws that would be declared unconstitutional,[2] dismissals for reasons later declared illegal[3] or actionable,[4] or extra-legal procedures that would come into general disrepute. Lastly we have Congressman Hayes from NC. Congressman Hayes during a rally said "Liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in God." Take from that statement what you will. What I see is a man saying that liberals HATE people that work , thus liberals must not work. Liberals HATE those that accomplish and therefor they themselves must not accomplish. Finally, that Liberals HATE those that believe in God so saying that Liberals must not believe in God. AND THEN they wonder WHY anyone would EVER say they are divisive!!!!!
