It was Clarence Thomas who said it first, during his nomination to the Supremes.  Now Ann Coulter has written her book, Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America.  But conservatives should be pointing to the lefties and chanting it every day, because it is all too true:

The hard left is nothing but a lynch mob with alternative tools.

Justice Thomas paid the media mob the compliment of calling them a "high-tech lynch mob."  Clarence Thomas was born in the South at a time when lynch mobs were very real.  But technology just amplifies what they already are, as moral low-lives.  Bull Connor passed out ax handles to the mob in the sixties, but today's high-tech lynch mobsters are no different when they try to destroy the careers, jobs, and reputations of good and decent people -- and even their children, like one-year-old baby Trig Palin.  Michele Bachmann was just threatened by one of the media mobsters, because now her 23 foster children are free bait for the media lynchers.  This is like mafia thugs walking through your nice family home and telling you what a fire hazard it is, and are you sure you don't want to sell out?

They have no decency.  None at all.

Our media and Democrat politicians have been taken over by lynch mob psychology, in the form of Saul Alinsky's little book.  What do you think this means?  "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."  It means pick a scapegoat, freeze him in the mob's eyes as evil, make him look personally evil, and whip the mob up into a frenzy against him.  That is what Obama did the other day with private jet owners, who are his favorite scapegoat of the moment.  It's how Kluxers lynched blacks in the Dixiecrat South, and the Democrats haven't forgotten how well it worked for them then.  Leftist Democrats have just changed the targets to you and me.  If you're male, adult, heterosexual, and white, you are the designated goat in the media.  Don't think it hasn't filtered into your own life?  It has.

The leftist-media-Democrats just repeat it over and over again, and you can watch them.  That's how brainwashing works.  Mechanical repetition stamps out any independent thought.  No human being can resist that 24/7 mob chant.

Alinsky's Rules for Radicals should be sold as Rules for Lynch Mobs.  I assume it's required reading in JourNOlism schools these days, because fresh young jourNOlists come out all ready to join the big mob.  It's their road to promotion and a job at the New York Times, the leader of all the lynch mobs on the left.

Alinsky's Rules for Radicals is nothing but the rules of lynch mob leaders throughout human history.  There is nothing new about it, and certainly nothing "progressive."

All the liberal media are now following Alinsky Rules.  Is the left respectful of blacks or women?  Not on your life.  They will burn you at the stake regardless of age, sex, or race.

We have to understand very clearly how ruthless these people are.  Mentally they are prepared to destroy other human beings, something conservatives (by definition) cannot do, because we have decent values.

Mob psychology is the most toxic force in any society.  Media behavior filters down into our everyday relationships, so that many colleges have their own versions of lynchings, rage, and fear campaigns deliberately designed to keep professors and students frightened and obedient to the left.  Words like "racist, sexist, and homophobe" are use as clubs to beat innocent people over the head.  I knew a professor at an East Coast women's college whose laboratory was trashed by a leftie mob.  He ended up in the hospital with a heart attack, and retired.  He was a good and decent man.

The left has told women to hate men.  Gays are supposed to hate heterosexuals.  Blacks are now more paranoid about whites than they ever were before.  Sarah Palin's church was burned down in Wasilla after the 2008 campaign.  Where are the media sleuths on that raging mob behavior?  They demonstrate how to do it to their brain-dead followers.  Then they accuse others of "bullying."  Socialist societies are nothing but bullying societies, because they are run by control freaks.  Socialists bully and abuse you for your own good.  So a lynching every now and then is all right.  Pour encourager les autres.

This is truly primitive behavior.

Chimps turn into lynch mobs when an alpha male gets sick or injured, or when a lone chimp from another clan wanders into their territory.  They spot a scapegoat, go into a frenzy, hunt him down, and kill him.

Humans do it wherever they are taught to hate, which is precisely what Alinsky rules do.  Last week a Jewish driver got lost in an Arab neighborhood in Jerusalem, and was immediately mobbed, barely making it out alive.  If you look at the MEMRI website you can see the 24/7 hate propaganda machine that creates such hatred all over the Muslim world.  This is all deliberate, well-financed, and with murderous intent.  The Middle East is thirsting for another lynch mob attack on the Jews, and Obama is enabling that kind of primitive, throwback behavior.

It never seems to enter Obama's head that it is the 24/7 hate propaganda campaign that prevents peace in the Middle East from ever becoming a reality.  It's his own Alinskyite training to whip up mobs, but he doesn't think anybody else ever used it as a political tool, as he was taught to.  Well, he's wrong about that, too.  If Israel is ever crazy enough to retreat to its 1949 ceasefire lines, as Obama just demanded, the hate propaganda will just increase as all the mobs go into a frenzy at the same time.  Isn't that what "revolution" really is to the left?  The poor are kept in a constant stew against the rich, the women against men, the blacks against whites.  That rage is what the Alinsky disorganizers need, to make their famous little omelet.  Watch Obama and his proxies use it again during the next election campaign.  It's SOP.  That's what "community organizers" do.  Obama demonstrated it when he used the Tahrir Square mob to get Mubarak out of power, thereby tripping off mob rage all over the Middle East.

Muslim lynch mobs are traditionally whipped into rage by the Friday sermons of their (Saudi-trained) imams, and then go on a rampage.  Louis Farrakhan and Father Pfleger are the perfect models.  Just listen to their "sermons."  It's one of those quaint multicultural traditions, coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

The American left's love affair with that kind of mob insanity is the worst news of the last half-century.  Liberals used to be decent people.  Today they act like Kluxers in drag.  Normal people can easily be made to do genuine evil, if you can control the propaganda machine, as the left does in America today.  

But first you have to shut up any organized dissent, as the media did during Obama's 2008 campaign, when John McCain was too scared to criticize his opponent.  So was the press, the part of it that wasn't into totally goose-stepping obedience to Obamanoia.  A mediot accidentally called Obama a "dick" last week, and instantly froze into panic.  That's fear you could see in his eyes.  With George W. Bush, all his little mobster buddies would have applauded.  When these people aren't mobbing Sarah Palin they live in fear of the obamessiah and his enforcers.

If you can brainwash kids in the schools and the media you can transform normal people into lynch-mobbers.  That is why the media's mob behavior is so toxic: It spreads like a plague through society.

If you think I'm exaggerating, just watch what the media mobsters are doing to Herman Cain, Rep. Allen West, Governor Palin, and Rep. Michele Bachmann, and ask yourself if there's any difference from the Dixiecrat Kluxers beyond the choice of tools..

There is no difference.  Hate is hate.  Public abuse is the forerunner of physical abuse.  "Anti-bullying," my foot.

The feminists hate Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann so much, I wouldn't trust them with Bull Connor's ax handles.  I don't doubt that the Congressional Black Caucus will all turn out smartly to smear and slander Herman Cain and Allen West, if they rise in the polls.  After all, that's who Al Sharpton is, right?  He's a mob ranter.  That's how he gets his power.

Here's Obama's big hero V.I. Lenin as lynch mob leader.  When you read it, just substitute "jet owners" for "kulaks."  The principle is the same.

Comrades! The insurrection of five kulak districts should be pitilessly suppressed. The interests of the whole revolution require this because 'the last decisive battle' with the kulaks is now under way everywhere. An example must be demonstrated.

1. Hang (and make sure that the hanging takes place in full view of the people) no fewer than one hundred known landlords, rich men, bloodsuckers.

2. Publish their names.

3. Seize all their grain from them.

4. Designate hostages in accordance with yesterday's telegram.

Do it in such a fashion that for hundreds of kilometres around the people might see, tremble, know, shout: "they are strangling, and will strangle to death, the bloodsucking kulaks".

Telegraph receipt and implementation. 

Yours, Lenin.

Find some truly hard people^[7].

Well, there it is. The President of the United States comes out of that tradition, not the American one.

Justice Clarence Thomas is being attacked again by liberal mobsters because they're afraid that he'll vote against ObamaCare when it gets to the Supremes.  So they want to take Thomas out, and scare the others.  By attacking Clarence Thomas, Supreme Court justices have just been told what will happen to them if they turn down O'Care.  This is the very essence of lynch mob behavior.

The liberal media are social poison.  They are coordinated and directed, because they come out with the identical party line slogans every single day.  They are the worst we've ever seen in this country, and their methods go back straight to Lenin and Marx, who were mainly mob leaders.  This is the essence of every extremist attack on the institutions of law, order, and democracy in the last two centuries.

The next time you hear Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz, think of Bull Connor.  There is no difference between them beyond methods.
