Doug Hoffman\u2019s candidacy was much bigger than him. It signaled the reemergence of the American citizen as \u201cthe ruler of the roost\u201d and both parties have taken notice. Some career politicians find the notion of having to answer to \u201cthe people\u201d galling, and continue to undermine the will of the people. However, politicians like representatives Steve King of Iowa, Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and of course, Sarah Palin. are continuing to shake up Washington.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And Washington doesn’t like getting shaken up! <\/span><\/p>\n

Look at how the media, the leftymedia, and their subordinates in the lefty blogosphere are painting each of these events; count the number of times you saw Hoffman portrayed as a “Teabagger’s” candidate – har di har, lefties, another gay sex joke.\u00a0 If we admit you’re comic geniuses, will you let it drop? <\/span><\/p>\n

The left’s canonical response to Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin is a matter of shameful record.<\/span><\/p>\n

Someone left a quote in my comment section yesterday, attributed to Mahatma Gandhi:<\/span><\/p>\n

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then yo win.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(Wikiquote says the sourcing is disputed; it may have come from a speech by unionist Nicholas Klein: “And, my friends, in this story you have a history of this entire movement. First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you<\/em>.”\u00a0 We’ll ignore the next step; he was with the United Clothing Workers).<\/p>\n

So watch for those SEIU thugs.\u00a0 It’s a good sign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
