Back in the day, Republicans and conservatives believed in "civility." Not any more. Now the conventional wisdom is that you throw the hate of the left right back in their faces. But what?
In the last week there have been two helpful pieces listing a bunch of hate quotes from Democrats. Nothing extraordinary. Just routine stuff accusing Republicans of being fascists or racists. From Steven Hayward at Powerline blog and from Larry Elder. These two gentlemen have provided actual quotes. But I have boiled them down into counterpunches.
Oh yeah? Whatabout FDR in 1945 saying that a victory for Republicans would be a victory for fascism?
Whatabout President Truman in 1948 saying that a victory for Dewey would be a "Fascistic threat to American freedom."
Whatabout in 1964 when "San Francisco Mayor John Shelley said Republicans 'had Mein Kampf as their political bible.'"
Whatabout in 1964 when Gov. Pat Brown said "The stench of fascism is in the air" at the Goldwater convention.
Whatabout Coretta Scott King in 1980, complaining that Ronald Reagan was back to the "Ku Klux Klan and a resurgence of the Nazi Party."
Whatabout a Dem. Rep. in 1983 saying that Ronald Reagan was "trying to replace the Bill of Rights with fascist precepts lifted verbatim from 'Mein Kampf.'"
Whatabout Maxine Waters in 1992 calling President Bush a racist "for many, many reasons."
Whatabout in 1994 after the GOP midterm landslide when a Dem. Rep. said “It’s a glorious day if you’re a fascist.”
Whatabout in 1995 Dem. Rep. John Dingell saying the GOP House is like "the Duma and the Reichstag,"
Whatabout in 1995 Dem. Rep. John Lewis saying the GOP is "coming for our children."
Whatabout Dem. reaction to Gingrich era budget cuts? "Worse than Hitler."
Whatabout in 1999 Donna Brazile accusing the GOP of "having a white-boy attitude."
Whatabout in 2000 Donna Brazile saying the GOP would "rather take pictures with black children than feed them."
Whatabout in 2005 Dem. Rep. Charles Rangel saying that "George Bush is our Bull Connor."
Whatabout in 2005 Al Gore accusing President Bush of unleashing "squadrons of digital brownshirts" to harass the media.
Whatabout in 2005 Howard Dean saying that Dem. vs. GOP is "good versus evil."
Whatabout in 2006 when Claire McCaskill said George W. Bush "let people die on rooftops" in New Orleans.
Whatabout in 2006 when Hillary Clinton said the GOP House had "been run like a plantation."
Whatabout in 2011 when Debbie Wasserman Schultz said the GOP wanted to drag the nation back to "Jim Crow laws."
Whatabout in 2012 when Joe Biden told a black audience that Mitt Romney was going to "put y'all back in chains."
Whatabout in 2014 when Dem. Rep. Charles Rangel said that "some [Republicans] believe that slavery isn't over, and they think they won the Civil War."
Like I say. If you accuse someone of being a racist then you are a hater. If you accuse someone of hate then you are a racist/sexist, Whatever.
