Soptic was Offered a Buyout by Bain and His Wife Had Insurance

Well, what do you know?

More details are emerging about union stooge Joe Soptic's ad, run by Obama's PAC, that lamely attempts to place the blame on Mitt Romney and Bain Capital for his wife's cancer death.

How the hell do you make the connection between two unrelated events that happened six years apart? Answer: you don't, unless you think your audience is composed primarily of imbeciles.

Yet that is precisely what Bill Burton, Obama's former Deputy Press Secretary and head of Obama's super PAC Priorities USA, thinks.

I'm sorry, but I've lost whatever compassion I had for this guy's loss. The more I think about how Obama and his PAC try to manipulate people's emotions for political gain, the angrier I get.

There is no excuse for this type of behavior. It is beneath the dignity of the Office of the President and the country.

We're finding out that Renae Soptic indeed had health insurance after her husband was terminated, and that he was offered a buyout by Bain, which he refused.

We have reached a new low in American politics where the left tries to accuse its opponent of murder by business.

Is this the kind of government you want in charge of your country? One composed of people who would produce this type of political ad, one which just happens to be one of the most blatant lies imaginable?

Not me.

Leftists Spin Tucson, Public Rejects Their Lies

Trying to pick any truth out of the dung heap of progressive accusations of “right-wing hate speech” requires the patience of someone who stacks BB’s for a living. If you think that the left didn’t have their script ready at the wait for a situation just like this, then you’d be wrong.

Note the speed and uniformity of the baseless accusations leveled at the right. As I noted yesterday, we didn’t have all of the facts before the Sheriff of Pima County began his diatribe against the right, using all the standard smears. You’ve heard them all before: there’s nothing new, original or truthful in their words.

At least, Sheriff Dupnik made it clear that he was just spouting his opinion. What’s pathetic is, that’s not his job. His job is to investigate crime, not serve as a political pundit. If that’s what he wants to do, he should turn in his badge and get his own web site.

Perhaps he should focus less on tainting the jury pool and more on explaining to the people of Pima County why he allowed this tragedy to occur on his watch. As more facts are uncovered, we’re finding that the shooter wasn’t unknown to the sheriff. He’d been making threats to prominent members of the community for several years. The shooters’ classmates saw his incoherent, erratic behavior and were rightly concerned for their safety.

The sheriff has some explaining to do.

Hiding behind the sheriff’s uninformed opinions are legions of leftist pundits yelling, “Go Clarence. Go get the TeaParty/SarahPalin/RushLimbaugh/GlennBeck/SeanHannity. Take them down!”

However, the tide has turned against the progressive left. In a CBS poll, only 32% of the public believe that “right-wing” rhetoric caused the Tucson tragedy. This could be compared to declining success of using the race card that the left literally used until it became dog-eared and worn out. We've awakened to the tactics that the progressive left uses to twist the truth and rejected them.

The sheriff is clearly in the minority, a small and shrinking minority.

The Truth will come out and the American public will embrace it.

Progressivism is dying a slow and well-deserved death in America.

Ooh, was that inflammatory rhetoric? Um, yeah, yeah it was.
