I read Coulter's latest bestseller, "Demonic," months ago....but just realized how prescient she was in predicticting the Pee Party...the liberal mob reprising the French Revolution!
It contains the text-book comparison between the Tea Party and the liberal mob, the Pee Party.
1. While the liberal mob engages in the kind of violence that one expects of a mob, there is also a species of intellectual mob that relies on praise an ridicule to enforce its views: they rely on the axiom that large segments of the population would rather be punched in the face than be sneered at by the elites. We call them liberals.
2. The mob mentality is irresistible to people with a desperate need to be popular, and are perennially afraid of getting a bloody nose on the playground of life. A tell-tale sign is the use of terms like us and we when they write, or speak as these pronouns speak of popularity, of membership in the larger group i.e. the mob.
a. In fact, an easy way to identify a conservative, is to look for the folks who arent afraid to be sneered at by The Daily Show and the other temples of the status-anxious. Conservatives are not susceptible to groupthink. Jon Stewart transmits the party line to idiots so they know who to hate. The act of applauding a joke rather than laughing at it is a public gesture that serves no purpose other than assuring everyone that you are part of the group.
b. People desperate for a badge of identity are highly susceptible to groupthink, in fierce need of a guide, and, so, the foolish, ignorant, and envious persons are freed from the sense of their insignificance and powerlessness. Le Bon, The Crowd: A Study of The Popular Mind, p.22.
3. "Many of liberals' peculiarities are understandable only when one realizes that they are a mob. For example, a crowd's ability to grasp only the simplest ideas is reflected in the interminable slogans. "Liberals have boatloads of them: Bush Lied, Kids Died! Our Bodies, Our Selves! No Blood for Oil! No Justice, No Peace! Save the Whales; Love Your Mother (Earth); Ban the Bomb; Make Love, Not War; Friends Don't Let Friends Vote Republican; Diversity Is Our Strength! Save the Planet! Pro-Choice, Pro-Child! Support Our Troops, Bring them Home! Co-Exist! Hey, Hey, LBJ, How Many Kids Did You Kill Today? Dissent Is Patriotic! War Is Not the Answer! Go Green! Healthcare Is a Right, Not a Privilege! Imagine Peace; Celebrate Diversity! Beat the Bushes for Peace! No Nukes! Give Peace a Chance; Think Globally/Act Locally; No Tax Cuts for the Rich; Save the Planet! Venceremos! One, Two, Three, Four, We Don't Want Your F--King War! Bush = Hitler; Hell No, We Won't Go! Off the Pig! Eat the Rich! Die Yuppie Scum! Peace Now! We Are the Ones We've Been Waiting For! Solidarity Forever! Bring America Home! You Can't Hug a Child with Nuclear Arms; Meat Is Murder! Books Not Bombs! Fight the Power! Yes We Can! p.6
a. What is the Tea Partys slogan? Republican slogans?
4. And, Katrina vanden Heuvel doing her Internationale hectoring: People are waking up. And theyre in the streets. There are going to be fifty rallies around this country. Maybe a million people in the streets of this country. And what are they saying? Enough! Youre giving our peoples money away. Invest in our country, invest in jobs, invest in education. Keep cops on the street, keep teachers in the classrooms. Enough with these perks for corporations. Theres a movement called U.S. uncut, which is inspired by an article in The Nation. If we can recoup from the very richest who brought us this financial crisis and from corporate tax dodgers, we can balance budgets in a fair way. Justice, fairness, concepts that may be coming back to America in this moment. Live With Cenk Uygur, MSNBC, February 23, 2011.
Still think the Pee Party is 'organic'...and hasn't been managed by the Left??
5. To understand liberals one must understand their origin: the French Revolution. Difficult to make sense out of it, as there is never much sense in the behavior of a mob: a rumor would start, theyd all buy it, then theyd run around beheading people. Sort of like Code Pink with pikes.
a. [A] throng knows neither doubt nor uncertainty. Like women, it goes at once to extremes. A suspicion transforms itself as soon as announced into incontrovertible evidence. A commencement of antipathy or disapprobation which in the case of an isolated individual would not gain strength, become at once furious hatred in the case of an individual in a crowd. Gustave Le Bon, The Crowd: The Study of the Popular Mind, p.22.
6. Can you imagine if our society was run by the geniuses of the Pee Party???
From Coulter:
The excesses, and thousands upon thousands of deaths and mutilations take no back seat to the Russian revolution, or Maos mayhem.
a. This was not a revolution that was likely to end, as the American Revolution did, with the motto Annuit Coepis (He [God] has favored our undertakings) on its national seal.
