Far Left M.O.

I've learned over the years that there are some truths about the far left that seem to be a constant.

One is that leftists hide behind strident accusations. It works simply like this.

Whatever unsavoury or dubious thing the left is already doing, it will accuse the opposition of doing. In this way, the left tries to distract from itself and remove scrutiny (Alinsky would be proud). After all, how can one who is constantly accusing someone else of racism, be racist? How can one who constantly berates the other of collusion with "the corporation", be colluding with the corporate elite? How can one who screams about "rightwing violence", be violent?

Yet, after decades of observation I've learned that the louder the left accuses, the more likely it is of doing exactly what it is accusing the other of doing ... it's simply its modus operandi:

"But I want to tell you, when you talk about what they've done - they've created an atmosphere and they've been unrelenting in their propaganda," Dobbs said. "Three weeks ago this morning, a shot was fired at my house where I live. My wife was standing out and that followed weeks and weeks of threatening phone calls."

Dobbs detailed the event, the notification of law enforcement and threatening phone calls he had received after the fact.

"And, as I told the state patrol, and by the way, the New Jersey State Patrol is absolutely terrific - they responded instantly. But this shot was fired with my wife not, I don't know, 15 feet away and we had threatening phone calls that I decided not to report because I get threatening phone calls," Dobbs continued. "I now - it's become a way of life - the anger, the hate, the vitriol, but it's taken a different tone where they've threatened my wife. They've now fired a shot at my house while my wife was standing next to the car. It's become something else."

The CNN host later took a shot at the "national liberal media," which he claims has taken a side on the immigration issue and has created this sort of reckless environment.

"But we've got to start being honest," Dobbs said. "Instead, the national liberal media has chosen sides and they've decided that they're going to focus on the liberal view, which is that they will embrace illegal immigration - no matter who is harmed, no matter how many laws are broken or how few consequences there are for breaking those laws."

... perhaps it's been "tea baggers" attacking Dobbs.
