The propaganda from the right wing media has sunk to new depths of low. At least they’re good at something lately. This is a way for the right wing to aid in their politician’s obstruction tactics.
They’ve referred in concert to President Obama and Democratic officials as “health care suicide bombers” and claim their efforts as “a kamikaze mission” and “political suicide missions.”
This isn’t just one pundit or paper, this is all of them. It’s almost as if they met before hand and agreed to say the exact same thing, unless you believe in coincidence of this magnitude:
Rush: “Mullah Nancy Bin Pelosi … is no different” than those who “convince all these people to put bombs on their kids.” On his radio show, Rush Limbaugh said: “Here’s the way we have to start looking at Nancy Pelosi: Mullah Nancy Bin Pelosi. She’s no different than these mullahs and these imams who convince all these people to put bombs on their kids and send them out there to blow up. … That’s exactly what she’s doing to the Democrat Party. The only thing she can’t do is promise them 73 virgins or whatever it is.” [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 3/1/10]
Limbaugh: Dems are “the kamikaze party.” In November 2009, Limbaugh said: “We’re going to have to call the Democrat Party the ‘kamikaze party.’ ” He also said that “Bill Clinton went up to the Senate yesterday and personally gave these guys instructions on how to fly their Zeros into our aircraft carriers.” [The Rush Limbaugh Show
Carlson: Obama is telling Democrats to "go on a kamikaze mission." On Fox & Friends, co-host Gretchen Carlson commented that Obama's position on health care was, "If you're a moderate Democrat, go on a kamikaze mission. Subject yourself to potential failure at the polls in the midterm elections, because you have to do this for the presidency." [Fox & Friends, 3/8/10]
Breitbart’s Big Journalism calls Obama is the “suicide-bomber-in-chief.” In a post on Breitbart’s Big Journalism website, Frank Ross wrote: “Mark Steyn is always right, whether he’s writing about Andrew Lloyd Webber or, in this case, the suicide-bomber-in-chief, Barack Obama, who doesn’t much care how many Democrats get sent to the electoral Elysian Fields — or even whether he gets a second term — as long as he can blow up the capitalist system from within.” [Big Journalism, 3/6/10]
Wash. Times‘ Pruden compares Democrats to suicide bombers. In his column, editor emeritus Wesley Pruden wrote: “You have to be a true believer in Barack Obama’s radical agenda to be a Democrat in Congress, and believe with the intensity of a suicide bomber. Mr. Obama can’t even promise a harem of virgins in paradise.” [The Washington Times, 1/19/10]
Crowley: Health care reform is Democrats’ “suicide mission.” Guest-hosting on Fox News’ O’Reilly Factor, Fox News contributor Monica Crowley said: “Well, the Democrats intent on flying a suicide mission, and some Democrats already bailing out of the plane.” [The O'Reilly Factor, 12/23/09]
