It’s All Obama’s Fault

When anti-health care reform protesters get violent, scream at members of Congress, refuse to let them speak, burn them in effigy, threaten to kill them, whose fault is it?

If you said theirs, or the fault of GOP operatives who are stoking their anger and fear with propaganda, you would be wrong.

It’s Pres. Obama’s fault. Really (emphasis in original):

Nooners surveys the mob scenes, the hangings in effigy, the assaults, the unhinged rhetoric — and blames it all on Obama. 

All of this is unnecessarily and unhelpfully divisive and provocative. They [the White House and Democrats] are mocking and menacing concerned citizens. This only makes a hot situation hotter. Is this what the president wants? It couldn’t be. But then in an odd way he sometimes seems not to have fully absorbed the awesome stature of his office. You really, if you’re president, can’t call an individual American stupid, if for no other reason than that you’re too big. You cannot allow your allies to call people protesting a health-care plan “extremists” and “right wing,” or bought, or Nazi-like, either. They’re citizens. They’re concerned. They deserve respect.

Shorter Noonan: if the Democrats would stop dressing like slutty socialists, they wouldn’t get raped.
