Be Prepared For A New Attack on the GOP

The Violence against Woman Act was renewed by congress and rewrites the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA), which was struck down by the SCOTUS, and the new legislation was opposed by conservative Republicans, who objected to extending the Act's protections to same-sex couples and to provisions allowing battered illegal aliens to claim temporary visas.

And even though on February 12, 2013, the Senate passed an extension of the Violence Against Women Act by a vote of 78-22. On February 28, 2013, the House of Representatives passed the extension by a vote of 286-138, with unanimous Democratic support and 87 Republicans voting in the affirmative, you would think this would be a bipartisan law and the left would move on, on this.

OH HELL NO!

Now they are going after those who voted against it in the House.
Think Progress and MSNBC are trying to make the GOP, at least some, look like they were opposed to the now law, because they are OK with woman being battered, as you can see from the picture inset, here.

 

Now in defense of Masha Blackburn, and as you will take notice of in the video, she refers to "When you start to make this about other things, you make it a targeted act... I didn't like it when it was expanded to other different groups"

You know the group she is talking about? Illegal aliens to claim temporary visas.
Her vote against it had NOTHING to do with being against battered woman, but the Dems back handed attempt to give illegal aliens a temporary visa that lies with in the law.

I was wondering when the socialist left was going to get around to twisting this in to something that it's NOT!

Liberal Hyberbol

Think Progress has cause an histaria of a huge magnitude over a minor, razor thin assertion that Perry was suggesting "violent" in response to Benny Bernanke, that the media is calling over the top.

Think Progress:

PERRY ON BERNANKE: ‘I DUNNO WHAT Y’ALL WOULD DO TO HIM IN IOWA BUT WE WOULD TREAT HIM PRETTY UGLY DOWN IN TEXAS’

Texas Governor Rick Perry, who entered the presidential campaign on Saturday, appeared to suggest a violent response would be warranted should Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke “print more money” between now and the election. Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treasonous in my opinion.” Treason is a capital offense.

1. Talking Points Memo suggest this. "Perry's ruminations about Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's "treasonous" behavior."
2. Washington Post suggest this. "He was referring to remarks he made Monday night in Iowa that Bernanke would be committing a “treasonous” act"
3. NYU economics professor Nouriel Roubini tweeted of Perry's comments: "Perry's Remarks on Bernanke are criminal. This Texan thug is making murder threats on the Fed Chairman."

4. "Rick Perry Threatens Ben Bernanke" from the Economic Policy Journal

5. Anyways, you get the point.

I mean, come on was it this over the top to the point of calling it (and mis-quoting it) Murder threats, appeared to suggest violent response , or to quote it as "committing a treasonous act"?
Or to say "BUT WE WOULD TREAT HIM PRETTY UGLY" as a violent threat




Just a few quotes from the left with in the last 4 years, or so, of Bush's Presidency:

-Bush committed treason, outed Valerie Plame
-George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, was indicted Monday on charges of high treason. The charges, filed by Attorney General Russ Feingold (which was tossed out)- NY Times
-Krugman saying the Bushies committed treason- Free Republic
