Instead of looking at themselves, the right continues their path of projection in blaming everyone else for their rapid fall from power. Here is John Hawkins blogging at Pajamas Media:

Too often today, liberals are using below-the-belt tactics against conservatives and paying no price whatsoever. Meanwhile, those on the right like to pat themselves on the back for being above it all. This is like a boxer priding himself on never taking off his gloves while his opponent nearly beats him to death with his bare firsts. But in the end, there’s not much to be said for lovable losers. Conservatives should realize that fair play isn’t going to pay any dividends.

They are still using the old Nixonian tactic of “blame everyone else”. Apparently voting no on every issue, just to say they voted no is an admirable act. But it doesn’t stop there. Let’s look at some of the examples cited by Hawkins:

For example, look at the media jihad that was shamelessly launched against Sarah Palin’s family. There was a not-so-subtle message being sent: if you’re a Republican woman, you better stay in the shadows or we’re going to destroy your family to get you. The left gave the same kind of intrusive, public scrutiny to “Joe the Plumber,” a private citizen who merely asked an inconvenient question to Barack Obama. While conservatives defended both Sarah and Joe as we complained incessantly about the way they were treated, the reality is that the Democrats paid no price whatsoever for the out-of-bounds attacks.

So Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers are not private citizens? But who was it that threw Joe into the spotlight? It was John McCain during a debate who kept mentioning Joe. I guess the Democrats aren’t supposed to rebut such things?

And what did the right expect when it came to Sarah Palin? John McCain picked a person the country didn’t know and the right expected us to support her just because they said so? This constant “Sarah Palin was attacked” meme is nothing more than an attack on the media. How dare they do their jobs!

But the ramblings of a child blaming everyone else don’t stop there.

Here’s another example. On college campuses, conservative speakers often need bodyguards to give a speech. Conservatives are shouted down and attacked — and nothing serious ever seems to happen to the fascists who engage in these thuggish tactics. So why shouldn’t conservative groups do the exact same thing to every liberal speaker who comes to the college? Go on stage, lock arms, and shout him down — then sue the university if they’re given so much as an hour’s detention more than the protesting liberal students.

Along those same lines, how is it that we have public universities using taxpayer dollars to discriminate against conservatives, indoctrinate kids into liberalism, and hire faculty like Bill Ayers? Why are Republican state legislators allowing this? How about standing up and saying, “If you want to continue to receive taxpayer money, you’re going to act like a university should, not an indoctrination center”?

Now it’s the colleges fault! How dare college students even think about getting involved with politics. Of course we dare not mention things like attendance at Bob Jones University being a slam dunk for a top job at the Bush Justice Department.

Are you sick of feeling like you need to familiarize yourself with porn terms just to understand what they’re saying about the tea parties on MSNBC or CNN? Then start filing obscenity complaints with the FCC. The left has never hesitated to use the government and the court system against its political opponents, so why should we?

Welcome back to the third grade. “Teacher! They said something nasty about me!” If that’s how the right wants to play this game then I can think of tons of obscenity complaints we can file against Fox news and Rush Limbaugh.

How many times was George Bush — a moderate on domestic issues who bent over backwards to create a “new tone” — accused of being Hitler?

Yeah calling people who opposed his reckless foreign policy “unpatriotic” makes him such a peach.

I can’t go on with this any longer. This cry babying just makes me realize why Pajamas Media is in such financial straits. I wonder how long before they start following their blogosphere leader and calling people “goat fucking child molesters”. That’s the kind of “above the cuff” class the right really exhibits.
