Revision as of 20:33, February 13, 2010

Liberal hate speech is hate speech, that is, widely provocative speech to denigrate a legally protected class or group of citizens defined by legislation, employed by liberals. Liberals support affirmative action and political correctness, but their use of liberal hate speech indicates that true tolerance does not necessarily follow from these tenets.

Liberal hate speech against persons with disabilities

  • Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is reported to commonly denigrate persons he disagrees with as "retarded". [5]
  • Former Vice President, Nobel Prize winner, and senior Democratic Party elder statesman Al Gore mocked children with disabilities by referring to his political critics as having "an extra chromosome." [6]
  • Liberal pundit and columnist Maureen Dowd referred to "extra chromosome conservatives" in an interview with Bill Maher's on HBO. The National Down Syndrome Society issued a statement saying use of the term "extra chromosome" as a negative descriptor "is insensitive and demeaning to the more than 350,000 people in the United States who have Down syndrome, which occurs when there is an extra copy of the 21st chromosome. Regardless of who originally coined the term... Ms. Dowd has perpetuated it as a slur against hundreds of thousands of Americans who are contributing members of society and who deserve the same respect that we all expect." [7]
  • On March 3 2009, President Barack Hussein Obama ridiculed children with disabilities on Jay Leno's program when answering a question about his bowling prowess. Obama said "It was like Special Olympics." [1][2] [3] The CEO of the Special Olympics defended the program noting the President had "set us back decades with his comments." [8] Gov. Sarah Palin whose youngest son Trig was born with Down syndrome observed, "This was a degrading remark about our world's most precious and unique people, coming from the most powerful position in the world." In her resignation speech as Governor of Alaska, Palin stated:
"this decision comes after much consideration, and polling the most important people in my life - my children, where the count was unanimous. In response to asking: 'Want me to make a positive difference and fight for ALL our children's future from OUTSIDE the Governor's office?' It was four "yes's" and one "hell yeah!" ... much of it had to do with the kids seeing their baby brother Trig mocked by some pretty mean-spirited adults ..." [9]
  • News24 of South Africa has on its website an obituary for Ronald Reagan entitled, Gay about Reagan's death. [4] and quotes Jon Beaupre, a gay journalist and Los Angeles radio talk show host as saying, "I have a feeling that an awful lot of gay people are going to be cheering, that 'Ding-dong! The wicked witch is dead'."
KURTZ: O'Reilly also criticized you for making a joke about Charlton Heston, the former NRA chief, having Alzheimer's.
CLOONEY: Yes.
KURTZ: Was that in poor taste in retrospect?
CLOONEY: Yes, oh, yes. It was in poor taste. It was a funny joke. It was in a room of 100 people. Yeah, (UNINTELLIGIBLE). I have a lot of good friends who -- in fact, I have a very good friend who is dying of Alzheimer's. And it was just a funny joke. [5]
  • Democratic Senator Al Franken of Minnesota peddled a book entitled Rush Limbaugh is a Big, Fat, Stupid Idiot, viciously ridiculing a person struggling with obesity and hearing disabilities.
  • In 2007, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow announced his cancer had returned. The liberals remarked on the leftwing Daily Kos website "the world would be better off without him".[6]
  • Liberal talk radio host Mike Malloy lashed out at conservative commentator Glenn Beck, a recovering alcoholic, told his radio audiend "I have good news to report.Glenn Beck appears closer to suicide. I'm hoping that he does it on camera....given his alcoholism and his tendencies towards self-destruction, I am only hoping that when Glenn Beck does put a gun to his head and pulls the trigger, that it’s on television, because somebody will capture it on YouTube and it will be the most popular little piece of video for months." [12]
  • Congressional Democrats wrote into the so-called "health care reform" bill of 2009, the outdated and offensive language, "A hospital or a nursing facility or intermediate-care facility for the mentally retarded . . ." (emphasis added).[13] Families of person with learning disabilities, mental health experts and advocates were outraged at the insensitivity of the proposed language in the new law. [14]

Liberal hate speech against women

  • In August 2007, former Democratic Presidential, Vice-Presidential candidate and amateur pornographer[7] Senator John Edwards viciously attacked social commentator Ann Coulter, calling the petite embodiment of women's aspirations for equality in the marketplace of ideas a "she-devil" [8]
  • Liberal "comedian" and "entertainer" Sandra Bernhard made extraordinary offensive, vicious, despicable and threatening remarks to Gov. Sarah Palin during a so-called "comedy performance" before a paying audience. [15]
  • During the 2008 Presidential election campaign season, Barack Obama compared Sarah Palin to a pig. [9]
  • 'Alternative' comedian Ben Elton's repeated references to Margaret Thatcher as 'a mad old cow', a sexist jibe that belied his supposed pro-feminist stance. [10]

Liberal hate speech against African-Americans

  • The tell all book Game Change reports that Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid said America would vote for Barack Obama because he was a "light-skinned" African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."[11]
  • U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been the relentless target of the most vile liberal hatred since his appointment; Spike Lee called him "A handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom."
  • Colin Powell is a respected and popular Statesman who rejected offers to be drafted for President in 1996. In an interview, liberal activist Harry Belafonte, who is also African-American, stated, "There are those slaves who lived on the plantation, and there were those slaves who lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master to exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him. That gave you privilege. Colin Powell is permitted to come into the house of the master, as long as he will serve the master according to the master's dictates." [13] In a highly visible action reminiscent of the Maoist rectification campaign, Powell later admitted to errors and his reputation partially rehabilitated among leftists by endorsing Barack Obama for President in 2008.
  • Former Vermont Governor and current DNC chairman, Howard Dean joked during a speech, “You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room? Only if they had the hotel staff in here.” [14]
  • Leftist "entertainer" Sandra Bernhard described, what in her view, is stereotypical of the behavior of African American men in Manhattan. [16]
  • California Senator Barbara Boxer made racially condescening remarks to the CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce during a Senate Environmental and Public Works Committee hearing on Global warming. [17]

Liberal hate speech against Hispanics

  • Alberto Gonzales. The first Hispanic U.S. Attorney General, was consistently mocked on liberal websites as 'Alberto "Speedy" Gonzales' [15] during his tenure. Speedy Gonzales is a reference to a disparaging stereotypical cartoon character of Hispanics that Hollywood attempted to popularize in the 1950s and 60s. Upon his retirement, NBC News anchor Matt Lauer called Gonzales "a piñata" for the Democrats. [18]

Liberal hate speech against Jews

  • Rev. Jesse Jackson said on January 25, 1984, "all Hymie wants to talk about, is Israel; every time you go to Hymietown, that's all they want to talk about." [16]
Image from a PETA fundraising effort. The group claimed, "Six million Jews died in concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughterhouses." [4]
  • Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan said "Casey was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con [17] agenda to benefit Israel", [18] accusing members of a vast right-wing Jewish conspiracy of being responsible for her sons death to benefit Israel.
  • Richard Dawkins claimed that Jews "more or less monopolize American foreign policy." His comments have been criticized by the Anti-Defamation League as "classic Anti-Semitism."[24]
  • Barack Hussein Obama's pastor and mentor Jeremiah Wright was asked about Obama when he said, "Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me." The story was buried by the liberal-aligned MSM. [19]
  • Ward Churchill was referring to the victims of the 9/11 attacks as "little Eichmann’s", comparing them to the infamous Nazi leader. [20]
  • Rev. Al Sharpton picketed a Jewish store in Harlem, NY over a landlord dispute. Sharpton personally incited the protesters chanting 'bloodsucking Jews.' When it was all over, a protester ran into the store shooting people and set the place on fire. [25]

Liberal homophobia

Liberal race baiting

Liberal hate speech against South Asians

  • Michael Moore affecting a mock Indian accent live on air and ridiculing CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta's name. [28]

Liberal hate speech against people of faith

  • Richard Dawkins in his 2006 book The God Delusion, states fundamentalist religion "saps the intellect,"[32] and refers to belief in God as a "mind-virus."[33]
  • In his latest book The Resilience of Conservative Religion (2002), liberal professor of sociology Joseph B. Tamney puts Christian conservatives into the same religious category as one of the most radical and most hate-filled Islamic figures of the late 20th century: Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini.

Liberal hate speech against well known conservatives

Liberal hate speech against others

  • U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has stated, "gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging....a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male."[36]
