Obama continues to lead The Party of Hate by bashing private citizens from his perch as the most powerful person in the world

.
3/7/12, "The Party of Hate," Powerline, John Hinderaker

"Millions of Americans voted for Barack Obama in the hope that he would be a trailblazer who would conduct the presidency in a new way. Well, he has: Obama has been the most divisive president in our modern history, unabashedly stirring up hate against not only his political enemies, but against private citizens who exercise their right to participate in our democracy. The most recent hatefest has been directed against Rush Limbaugh,

• and Obama has personally stirred the pot.

Of course, Obama has had nothing to say about the far worse invective that his own supporters have directed against Republican women. As I noted yesterday, he was asked a question about the double standard in his press conference yesterday, and ducked it. Bill Maher, who has contributed $1 million to re-elect Obama, called Sarah Palin a “c***” and a “dumb t***.” (Hey, when Rush rips a Democratic Party activist, at least you can print what he said on a family web site.) Obama has never criticized Maher or any of his many other

• supporters and minions who have kept up a steady drumbeat of hate for years....

Barack Obama has been a terrible president in many ways, but perhaps his most poisonous legacy is his cynical fomenting of partisan hate to advance his own political interests. After three years, we have learned that “hope” is not the word that we should associate with the Obama presidency....

In this video (at link), two Democratic Congresswomen who have joined in the condemnation of Limbaugh are asked whether they will condemn Maher’s calling Palin a “c***” and a “t***.” They refuse to do so, which tells you all you need to know

• about the “pro-woman” Democratic Party."...

Obama attacks private citizens Koch Brothers in fundraising piece:

The Washington Post says Limbaugh should be ostracized and caused economic harm because he's a person in a high place attacking a private citizen. The Washington Post had no objection when the most powerful man in the world, Obama, attacked private citizens, the Koch brothers, by name in a fundraising letter to masses:

2/24/12, "In an unprecedented attack on two private citizens, the Barack Obama campaign has issued an email from Jim Messina, the campaign manager, specifically targeting the Koch brothers."...

• 2/24/12, "BREAKING: Obama Campaign Attacks Koch Brothers, Blames Them For Gas Prices," Big Government, Ben Shapiro

"Here's the text:

"In just about 24 hours, Mitt Romney is headed to a hotel ballroom to give a speech sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, a front group founded and funded by the Koch brothers.

Those are the same Koch brothers whose business model is to make millions by jacking up prices at the pump, and who have bankrolled Tea Party extremism and committed $200 million to try to destroy President Obama before Election Day.

So in the hours before Romney courts two men obsessed with making Barack Obama a one-term president, let’s see how many of us can chip in $2 or more to the Two-Term Fund.

This number will update every five minutes to show how many people give in the 24 hours until Romney greets the Kochs:

Here’s what Mitt Romney told his supporters just after his victory in the Florida GOP primary:

“We must not forget what this election is really about: defeating Barack Obama.”

Pitch in $2 or more over the next 24 hours to show that, while that message may fire up two oil-industry billionaires, it’s also one that plenty of us are tired of hearing:

Thanks,

Jim Messina

Campaign Manager

Obama for America"

This is outrageous. Not only is the Obama campaign – yes, the re-election campaign of a sitting president – attacking the Koch brothers by name, the campaign is also accusing them of responsibility for high gas prices.

That’s scandalous. The Obama campaign is going for a two-fer: misdirecting on gas prices, and using radical left-wing conspiracy theories about the Koch brothers to fundraise for the guy who is actually responsible for the rise in gas prices....

Again, this sort of rhetorical assault is unprecedented. President Bush never mentioned George Soros, even though Soros spent $27 million trying to defeat Bush in 2004, and was famous for manipulating global money markets. For Obama to level his guns at the Koch brothers is a declaration of war not just on private industry but on private citizens engaging in politics as a whole....

His job is to govern, not to target private citizens for engaging in legal business activity, or First Amendment-protected political behavior.

But Obama thinks his job is to fundraise, no matter whom he has to destroy in order to do it. I hope the two bucks are worth it."

Ed. note: The GOP establishment hates talk radio anyway and would love to be rid of Rush as the Washington Post probably knows.
