The Left's grasping at opportunism is mind-boggling (first example) and disgusting (second example).From Jonathan Alter's essay in Newsweek (hat tip to Weasel Zippers):
Can Obama Turn Tragedy Into Triumph?Some biographical information about Jonathan Alter, author of the above-cited essay, is HERE.
Saturday’s shooting spree could prove a turning point in the Obama presidency. How the White House should talk about the tragedy.
...This horrific event offers the president a chance to show leadership qualities that he’s inexplicably hidden away in some blind trust. The shootings and the resulting debate over the climate of incivility play to his strengths as a calm and rational leader. Just as Bill Clinton’s response to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombings helped him recover from his defeat in the 1994 midterms, so this episode may help Obama change—at least in the short term--the trajectory of American politics.

Whether or not he attends the funerals for the Tucson victims, Obama’s big chance to lead will come in his State of the Union address on January 25. He can both to speak to the moment thematically and confront the substantive concerns raised by the tragedy....
And more lunacy — or downright evil, if you prefer that term! Westboro Baptist Church (so-called church but really a hate group led by Democrat Fred Phelps) plans to picket the funeral of Christina Taylor Green, the youngest shooting victim of Saturday's murderous shooting spree in Tucson:

September 11, 2001 - January 8, 2011
But for downright insanity and meanness, the Left cannot be outdone.
I sure would like to coin a term: American Kapo.
ReplyDeleteThe left, progressive, commie, alinskyites are truely exhibiting there version of the Kapo.
KAPO: (Concentration Camp/Holocast) Overseer drawn from the prisoners to maintain order, often using brutal or fatal methods. The motivation for turning on their fellow prisoners was simple exploitation, by the SS, of the survival instinct of the weak and corrupt.
The left is in the survival mode. They are weak. They are corrupt.
They are affraid of the strong ideology of socialism (suck up to commies)and mohammedans (suck up to CAIR). They are KAPO!
