Oh, you never heard of Katherine Windels? That means the nation’s most prominent Democrat politicians and mainstream media—those bastions of the New Civility—have done their job of suppressing the inconvenient truth that yet another instance of violence from the left.
For weeks now, the cheerleading mainstream media has sympathetically portrayed Wisconsin’s union protesters as some sort of modern day oppressed plebs. Yet, most intelligent American people saw them for what they were: Spoiled, overpaid, over-privileged, foul-mouthed thugs who think they have a “right” to siphon as much as they can get from already cash-strapped Wisconsiners. Americans who were paying attention saw the violent and destructive protests, complete with damaged property, as well as signs comparing Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker to Hitler and recently-ousted Egyptian dictator Mubarak for the sin of lightening the load of the Badger State taxpayer.
Speaking of vitriol, violence, destruction, and profanity, one very scarcely reported event was a certain vivid death threat emailed to 15 Republican Wisconsin state senators. It read in part:
Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your familes will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks. Please explain to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell. Read below for more information on possible scenarios in which you will die.
WE want to make this perfectly clear. Because of your actions today and in the past couple of weeks I and the group of people that are working with me have decided that we've had enough. We feel that you and the people that support the dictator have to die. We have tried many other ways of dealing with your corruption but you have taken things too far and we will not stand for it any longer. So, this is how it's going to happen: I as well as many others know where you and your family live, it's a matter of public records. We have all planned to assult you by arriving at your house and putting a nice little bullet in your head. ...
How could this have happened? After all, throughout January, we were informed that this was the era of the New Civility. This after we were told that the right-wing rhetoric, particularly that of the evil Sarah Palin, supposedly prompted a mental case with no recorded past of following conservatives to shoot a Democratic Arizona Congresswoman whom he had been stalking since 2007 (when the aforementioned Ms. Palin was an unknown governor from the distant state of Alaska.)
Well, in case you didn’t know about this, it was reported on Thursday that the author of this electronic death threat was found [h/t Sister Toldja]:
Katherine R. Windels, 26, of Cross Plains faces two felony bomb scare counts along with two misdemeanor counts of sending a computer message threatening injury or harm.
Now, if you check out the profile of Ms. Windels (an early childhood teacher who at 26 still lives with her parents), you will see a rather attractive young lady who presumably wouldn’t hurt a fly. So why would such a woman write such terroristic messages to 15 public officials?
Because that’s what hard leftism does, my friends. It turns decent and kind human beings into extremist thugs. With all the talk from our most prominent figures—from Bill Clinton to Barack Obama—about how much of a threat right-wing rhetoric is to the nation, here we have a bone fide example of how left-wing rhetoric caused a pretty 26-year-old public school teacher threaten to murder 15 human beings and their families.
Does anyone other than me see the gross irony of it all? For years we are told that the millions of people who listen daily Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, etc. are all being turned into little Timothy McVeighs (and no one never even bothered to prove that McVeigh was a right-wing talk-radio listener, but hey, why ruin a good politically-motivated myth?)
But in fact, it’s been the complete opposite. Only left-wing rhetoric has created violence in this country as of late:
- It’s left-wing socialist class-warfare rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—that incite angry mobs to shatter store windows; vandalize private businesses and banks; and hurl paint , firecrackers, and lightbulbs filled with ammonia at police, just this past week in London’s Trafalgar Square.
- It’s left-wing socialist class-warfare rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—that incite angry mobs to break store windows, vandalize buildings, and torch police cars during last June’s G20 summit in Toronto.
- It’s left-wing socialist class-warfare rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—that caused union thugs and protestors of other liberal stripes to converge upon the private residences of individuals they don’t like and terrorizing their families trapped inside. Such victims have included Karl Rove, AIG executives, and, most recently, John Boehner and Wisconsin state Republicans.
- It’s left-wing environ-mental-ist rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—that caused one James Jay Lee to hold hostages at the Discovery Channel’s Maryland headquarters because its environmental programming wasn’t alarmist enough in his view.
- It’s left-wing environ-mental-ist rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—that inspired “Unibomber” Ted Kaczynski to hold hostages.
- A combination of left-wing socialist class-warfare and environ-mental-ist rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—incited someone to send a mail bomb to an oil executive during the height of the BP oil spill, injuring his wife when she opened the package.
- It’s left-wing anti-war rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—that caused the streets of major cities around the country to be fouled by the most vicious and hateful slurs toward George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Condaleezza Rice.
- It’s left-wing anti-war rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—that prompted “peace activists” to commit violence towards our brave military, such as vandilizing military recruitment centers, banning ROTC’s on college campuses, and even fragging (the act of subordinate military personnel to shoot their own superior officers.)
In my opinion, Katherine R. Windels did a stupid thing. And she should be punished for it. But let’s not pretend her actions are not the result of a mindset created by constant bombardment of left-wing ideas: Hatred toward “the rich,” hatred toward “traditional values,” hatred toward the Founders and Founding Documents, hatred toward war (unless it’s a war started by a Democrat).
In short, Windels is the result of what happens when left-wing rhetoric goes unchecked.
Vicki at Frugal Café blog notes that, as of this writing (Saturday afternoon 4/2), CBS News and CNN have reported on the story, but neither they nor the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel Journal or Green Bay Press-Gazette bothered to mention Windel’s occupation as a pre-school teacher (and, thus, the presumed association with/membership in a public union). Do you think for one second that if the perpetrator’s third cousin’s college roommate’s business partner’s former live-in nanny had a fetish for raspberry zinger you wouldn’t see the phrase “Tea Party” blaring in these news stories? Puh-lease.
Tom at the Bizzy Blog notes that AP has the story but relegates it to the local section. And the mainstream media wonder why no one trusts them anymore.
