I must admit, it’s been kind of exciting the last few days.
The Mason City Tea Party billboard has everybody up-in-arms. And, having worked on the North Iowa Tea Party website, I’ve been getting my share of nasty emails and phone calls.
Never mind that I had nothing to do with the billboard. But what good leftist ever let a fact get in the way of a good self-righteous rant?
It wouldn’t be so bad if I had a staff to deal with lib hate mail and phone calls like Rush or Beck. But I’m a one-man shop, so I have to field the venomous hatred spewing forth from these people myself.
They remind me of my second ex-wife — there’s no limit to the lies they’ll tell … the mischaracterizations they indulge themselves in … the cherry-picked historical revisionisms they accept as fact … and no limit to the amount of fake indignation they serve up under the guise of moral outrage.
Oh, well. Maybe I should back up and explain how all this got started …
I help my local Tea Party movement with technical services like website services, video, social media posts — things that have to do with communications, which is how I earn my living.
But last week, a couple of people claiming to be acting on behalf of the North Iowa Tea Party put up an incendiary billboard that played right into the whacko-lefty’s hands.
The message they intended was to point out the similarities between Obama’s policies and the socialist policies of Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Lenin … like nationalized health care, the collusion of government and business to interfere with free markets, and government collaboration with labor unions aimed at control to name a few.
When I first heard about this I told the people involved to quit drinking whiskey when they designed these billboards … that the message would be lost as outraged lefty’s screamed “RACIST” at the top of their lungs … that moderates and independents would be turned off … but my warnings fell on deaf ears.
So the billboard went up, my email address and phone number are readily available to anyone willing to look for them, and the S%^$ hit the fan!
What’s been entertaining — and very instructive about who liberals, leftists, and Democrats really are — are the “hate” emails I’ve received. They’re filled with “educated”, “intellectual”, “tolerant”, “inclusive”, “compassionate” things like:
“… you should educate yourselves on shay’s rebellion and Adams assertion that rebellion against the republic should be punished by EXECUTION …”
And this …
“Do you know anything about politics or history? Because if you did, you’d be ashamed of yourselves … congratulations, now the whole world knows that North Iowa harbours ignorant cunts.”
Or this little gem …
“You’re all a bunch of racist retards like Palin’s dumb kid. You guys are doing nothing for this country. I’ll give credit to Palin. At least she’s keeping the paper towel industry in tact. Her kid’s drooling needs tons of paper towels just like you guys when you think you saw a pussy shot of her. Iowa, corn and cornholing. No suprise they let fags marry since there’s so many of you hershey highway homos. Iowa, what a dissapointment to an otherwise civilized country.”
Aren’t lefty’s “civilized”? Just full of “tolerance”, “compassion”, and “love”? (Yeah — if they’re screwing the tax payers to pay for it.) And how about that superior intellect lefty’s are always bragging about?
Then there were the “I hate you teabaggers” emails. After that brilliant opening they rant on and on, calling Tea Party movement people “hate mongers”, mischaracterizing the Tea Party message as “hate speech”, and accusing Tea People of being racists (the default position of liberals that don’t have their facts straight).
Don’t the shrinks call that transference? As in accusing your enemy of doing what you’re doing to put them on the defensive, hide your own unethical conduct, and/or confuse the issue for the general public?
Judging from the emails and calls I’ve been getting it sounds like lefty’s know quite a lot about “hate”.
We know libs are experts on racism, given Robert Byrd’s Klan association. Strom Thurmond was a Democrat when he was a member of the Klan. Democrats filibustered Eisenhower’s civil rights legislation. If it weren’t for Republicans, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would not have passed. And our current President attended a church pastored by a racist-communist for somewhere around two decades.
And finally, where the hell were you “sensitive”, “offended” lefty’s when movies and books came out depicting and describing the methods for assassinating George Bush? Where was your self-righteous indignation when you and your lefty friends compared President Bush to Hitler?
I find the left’s faux outrage and hypocrisy immensely more disgusting, vile, and hypocritical than any billboard trying to make a valid comparison about policy no matter how stupidly, unprofessionally messaged, and ineptly it was executed.
So it’s been a pretty exciting couple days here in quiet little Mason City.
Oh! Another lib in Chicago just sent me some more hate mail! Gotta go get me some more of that lefty “tolerance”, “diversity”, and “love” …

Mike, what gives with covering up the billboard? This is America! Freedom of speech! You know the drill. If other TEA Partys want to lick to the boots of the Republican string pullers, let them do the puppet dance. I think you should have stood up for what you believed in. Your sign made my day; covering it up ruined my weekend.
