The Left's (failed) Eliminationist Narrative

De-coding and deconstructing the repeated failures of the Left's Eliminationist Narrative:
 
It started with Bill Sparkman [2009], the part-time Census worker who went missing and then was found dead, setting off an avalanche of mainstream media and left-blogosphere accusations that he was the victim of anti-government “right-wing” hate.  It turned out that Sparkman killed himself. . .
 
[. . .]
 
The Sparkman accusations were based on nothing more than a desire to demonize the newly formed and rapidly growing Tea Party movement as terrorists and un-American.  It was as if they were hoping for an act of Tea Party violence.

Yet there was a theory behind the madness, the Eliminationist Narrative created by Dave Neiwart of Crooks and Liars about an “eliminationist” radical right seeking to dehumanize and eliminate political opposition.
 
[. . .]
 
In the case of Sparkman, the accusations were just Another Failed Eliminationist Narrative.  And the Eliminationist Narrative would fail time and time again:
We can now add the Boston Marathon Bombing to the pile.  The wild speculation that there was a Tea Party or “right-wing” connection proved false.
 
 [. . .]

Rest assured, Good Readers. . .these repeated failures by the Left's Eliminationist Narrative to explain unfolding events will not deter their allies in the media from attempting to frame the next (God forbid) terrorist attack as the work of the ever elusive right-wing operative.

  1. If you survive the inevitable reeducation camp time earned by criticism of Dear Leader and his cronies, will you pen some memoirs in the style of "Priestblock25487"? Maybe you'll share the drafts in the Chestnut Tree Cafe. I'll buy the first round.

    P.S., the wife and I are currently researching how to ship pecan pies.

    1. I'd make a horrible re-education camp prisoner. Mouthy, disobedient, petulant.

      Pecan pies. . .hmmmmmm. . .I know that cookies travel well via the post. But you could consider sending me a book from the Wish List! ;-)

    2. You got it! As for cookies I guess it depends on the postal route. When I was in Uncle Sam's canoe club my mother's cookies always arrived as crumbs. The box for the final shipment had tread marks from where a fork lift went over it. I advised her to just give it up after that.

  2. Ludi, stop trying to post Andrew Sullivan's junk on my blog. I won't allow it.

      Do you allow the same point when it's in a report from the National Catholic Reporter?

      http://ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/another-vatican-voice-backs-civil-unions-same-sex-couples

      Or are the fact that these statements were made by Vatican officials best withheld from your blog audience...or simply ignored?

    2. NCR isn't making the same point as Sullivan. NCR propagandizing for the protestants among us is bad enough but Sullivan will not be given a forum on this blog.

      I trust that my readers are well-read enough that my failure to note Marini's imprudent squawking for the leftist gay agenda didn't escape their attention. I predict that Marini will be finding himself saying Mass for a retirement home soon.

      Nice to see the US bishops come out so forcefully on immigration reform, given the GOP's grandstanding on this issue since the Boston tragedy:

    4. The GOP can't allow itself to be upstaged by the Dems on gun control. . .now that was true hysteria.
