I recently received the e-mail:
I did a little googling and found out that the "left" has taken offense (of course) and have been trying to frame the "right"..Tea Party members..etc as religious nut jobs who are inciting violence because the rest of the psalm reads:
Now that is quite a stretch IMO. The "joke" only quotes 109:8 and I read it as "one term" then voted out, not a threat.
Using religion for political points is another matter. That I do find a bit distasteful, but give me a break. Anything to paint "the right" with the colors you like eh?
Of course I have noted a trend in the media of trying to paint the Tea Party people as violent, white supremacist, religious fundamentalists but I have yet to see a fraction of the violence or trouble that you see at typically "lib" rallies like the G20 summits.
Where is there any example of a Tea Party gathering exhibiting any notable signs of racism, religious fundamentalism, violence? I have seen nothing but political hacks claiming that these groups "WILL or MAY result in violence". Most of the accusations against the Tea Party seem to be trying to make hay out of alleged "racist slurs" during the health care bill vote. Slurs of which there is no proof and could easily have been lib troublemakers in the crowd.
And even if it were 1 or 2 people in the group, how is it that one person who says/does something wrong can be used to paint a whole group with a "right wing nutjob" smear, while mobs of masked vandals are not allowed to be used as example of the "violence of the left"?
This "Anti Tea Party" stuff in the news has the markings of a political hatchet job being wielded by the hand of the MSM.
It's this the 'tolerance' the left is always blabbering about? It seems they have none for opposing points of view.
