The Left is really wigged out by the Restoring Honor rally: troll comments and hatemail are up
That phenomenon we’ve told you about is happening again: whenever something has the Left worked up, and they are scared about the reality they are facing in November, they lash out at all available targets…and being one of those targets, we experience an uptick in hatemail and troll comments on this site. Both in the venom and nastiness of the remarks, as well as the volume of nastygrams from the Left.
It happens every time something rattles them, and they don’t know how to process that, so they default to what the Left has always taught these people, and it’s to berate, bully, bite, claw, and attack their perceived enemies.
This brings to mind something remarkable we saw in the crowd at Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally this weekend. A woman was frustrated because dozens of people kept pushing in front of her to get passed in the crowd, because a makeshift aisle had opened up where she was standing, though she had to keep moving all of her things to let the parade of people through. She was a very nice woman who lost her cool for a moment because she literally had been up and down, up and down, up and down a dozen times and just wanted to settle back in and wait for the rally to start.
Well, a very elegant southern woman in a beautiful red, white, and blue American flag jacket asked politely if she could walk passed the frustrated woman, and instead of just letting her pass, she decided to put her foot down and say, “NO! I’ve been up and down so many times, I just can’t keep track. I just want to sit down and rest and I’m so tired of people trying to come through here. I’m sick of it.”
“Today is about love,” the elegant woman said, in a voice as warm and friendly as peach cobbler.
“Today is about me drawing the line somewhere, because I don’t want all these people to keep walking over me”.
“I pray for you to receive patience,” the elegant woman said, as others in the crowd shifted positions so she could walk by.
Her perfume trailed behind her a little, very gently, the way an angel’s light would linger once she’d left.
The effect on the frustrated woman was instantaneous and remarkable.
“She’s right,” the woman said. “I should be more patient. Today is about love. I just am so tired, from camping out here all night, and I just want to rest before the rally starts. I don’t want to keep getting up and down all the time”.
“Well, you come sit next to me, sister, and no one’s going to make you move,” a man a row ahead of us said.
When I looked over to see who it was, I realized it was a big bear of a vet, in a wheelchair, with a hook for an arm and a big grin on his face. The friend of his that was sitting next to him got up out of his chair, and traded places with the frustrated woman. Then, she got to sit safely next to the big vet, in a place no one would try to muscle through passed her, and that’s where she stayed for the rest of the rally, next to her new friend, with everyone happy.
All of this comes to mind for several reasons:
(1) No matter how much the trolls and goblins out there hit us with, we’re never going to allow them to get to us again. The more effective all of us are, the more they are going to lash out, with everything they’ve got, because that’s all they know how to do. Our response needs to be that of the elegant, Southern woman: pray that they one day see the error of the ways, for they know not the evil they do. Pray that they someday receive the blessing of hindsight and realize how badly they lived their lives, while there is still a chance for them to remedy this. Pray that wisdom someday is given to them, so that they might find better ways in the future to express their disagreement with someone — instead of the vile, venomous, nasty attacks they make such frequent use of.
(2) All around us, there are people like that big vet in the wheelchair who are potential allies, mentors, guides, teachers, and problem solvers when moments arise that require them. We never know where they are, but they are out there, and if we have faith, they’ll reveal themselves when we need them most. This is true of any situation, including times when we’re plagued by the trolls and hatemailers. As another vet told us once, if you aren’t taken flak, you aren’t over the target.
(3) Remember what we said before about Quest Theory: the troll attacks and hatemail upticks are clues that tell us whatever we’re doing is getting to the Left, and since that’s what we want to do, then we’re being effective. If we are driving these lunatics crazy, then we are doing something right. AND, every time some Leftist site links here to attack us, they hand us thousands of more hits that day, which makes us a more valuable site and helps us get that much closer to our 11 Million Hits Mark (which is coming in September, with this site only existing on WordPress since July of 2008…so that’s 11 million hits in a little over two years…many more hits than some of these sites that attack us, combined, which probably makes these loons all the angrier).
That elegant woman in the crowd was an angel, we’re convinced of it. Her voice, her diction, her bearing, her presence. All of it. Just too perfect, too authoritative, too elegant to have just been some random, coincidental stranger in the crowd. She was there to teach us, and the frustrated lady herself, a lesson.
And we hope we were able to pass this lesson onto you, because from now on whenever anyone says anything horrible to us, after we say our usual snarky comeback, we’re going to top things off with an “I pray for you to have…fill in the blank with virtue of your choice”.
How do you come back at someone when they say something like that to you?
You can’t.
It’s even better than saying “Thank you for your opinion”.
It’s the perfect peach cobbler response.

Well, you said the Gremln was hungry! LOL!
By the way, who is the cute baby in your avatar?
Well Its great to see the Country rally against the ideas that Washington has been coming up with and Beck making known who was in the Whitehouse with the kind of bios and thinking in advisory positions of athority passing laws we don’t know about but will be getting the bill for and have to pay them or go to jail and pay a big fat fine over , This is insane that Pelosi would say we need to pass the health care bill to see what was in it , what kind of leadership thinks that even passing any kind of smell test ???
no wonder people have had it with these career politicians
Glenn said this was God’s flyover, and I agree:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HASL_ry3Ae8
Wow. That is really something. I do think God watches over us and was letting everyone know that the Rally was good.
General Chuck Horner, USAF, used to tell a story about when he was a base commander. Every so often he’d go to the enlisted, NCO, and junior officer bars and look in the men’s room to see what was written on the wall. If he saw “General Horner is a $%^*#” written all over he figured he was doing something right.
HillBuzz: I must agree. I work with a group of bloggers, the SLOBs (San Diego Local Order of Bloggers). Normally, we are reltively small potatoes (well, maybe just me). However, all of us who discussed the rally were slammed with profane-laced insults and standard leftist diatribe about being “racists”.
As one of the SLOBs reminded me — they only get this upset when we are effective.
You’re quite right. There is nothing as frustrating as knowing there’s not a damned thing you (the leftists) can do about it.
They lost and will be largely irrelevant to the conversation come November.
Like water off of a duck’s back, boyz. You know, it’s sort of like the race card or all of the other pejoratives that have been spewed towards the tea partiers by the media. Redneck, racists, domestic terrorists, blahblahblah to the point where it starts to sound like the adults in a Charlie Brown episode ‘wah wah WAH’…
It all melds together until the words don’t have meaning anymore. The audio shuts down and all I see are lunatics waving their hands around in some schizophrenic sign language and I find myself just watching them instead of trying to relate.
Because the mistake is thinking that they’re trying to relate in the first place. They’re not. They’re trying to hurt, subjegate, destroy, harm, cage rattle, whatever they can do to find a channel for their venom. Completely ineffective in their logic, resorting finally to a preschooler’s temper tantrum out of frustration. Do you get mad at a preschooler? No, you put them in time out.
You’re right dab smack over the target, boyz. I surmise it’s going to get much worse before November, especially with the ever tanking poll numbers for their candidates of choice. I can imagine the thought process ‘we did not get this close to having the whole enchilada only to lose it!’ with the terrible response being ‘uh, yeah you did. You screwed up and now it’s gone’…
Epic frustration on the horizon for many of them.
Also, being caught up in all that anger and drama and lashing out takes ENERGY. I know I am always completely emotionally drained whenever I allow myself to get sucked into that drainpipe.
However, responding to situations with an inner calm actually is energizing — so again, our side is growing in strength and conviction, while the other is flailing and going around in circles.
Many times you can’t control events, but you can control your reaction to those events. In that, we have complete ownership.
Boyz, I’ve been thinking a lot about you lately, as I’m sure everyone has. One thing that struck me when reading Kevin’s personal letter to us was how very happy and proud I was that during much of that time, without knowing the extent of the abuse, buzzers were pouring out their sincere admiration and adoration for you. I could feel it, and I sure hope you did.
Makes me wonder how we are so lucky to be shielded from all that ugliness. It certainly isn’t like that on any other sites I’ve observed. And everyone on here is so supportive of not just you, but each other. Also, highly unusual. Sorry you have to endure it,but there must be some great comfort in the sincerity and depth of all your fans. Especially since this seems to be a period of great transition and growth.
Love to all.
ummmm! peach cobbler!!!!
(when I remember, I tend to pray 1st & snark 2nd but need so much more patience to be recollected at the start rather than half an hour later)
Good techno song. Perfect thing to listen too when reading Hillbuzz. Thanks for posting
/hugs.
Actually, I could not listen long. It is “The Hall of The Mountain King” from “The Pyr Gynt Suite” by Edvard Grieg (am I not learned, though!) tuneful enough, not something I would get out and play often even in the original version. This was nice as an exclamation point, but annoying after a couple minutes.
A woman sent/transmitted a detailed and lengthy verbal threat against Sean Hannitty and Rush today, via the Freedom Works folks. I’m sure they considered their decision, but I thought it was a great decision: Sean played and replayed and replayed those (death) threats, naming him and Rush, several times. I’m glad he felt free to do that…..call them out, expose them….God, protect our brave men and women in uniform, and these brave men and women in street clothes who are fighting just as deadly a battle. The Boyz, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannitty, Mark Levin, Thomas Lifson….add to the list…
Maybe KD should start posting the most outrageous of the troll h8te, ala outing everyone’s favorite unhinged troll,Susan Traversy. It would be very therapeutic, methinks.
I love the way you can tell a story. That is a fantastic one and I hope Beck gets to read about it.
About the blog hits, I was looking at the Wikio list of top political blogs and you guys came in at number 82! Hot damn, that’s fantastic!
Another interesting thing I noticed is that when I first looked at the list earlier this year, the top 20 were mainly left wing blogs. Now, conservative blogs hold many of the top spots. The tides are turning…
http://www.wikio.com/blogs/top/politics?start=80
It was so good to meet you and your lovely, lovely family!!! Hope you enjoyed the rest of your visit to the Capitol ;=)
The feeling is likewise YTZ! Wonderful to put a face to a name. I was going to respond to you in other threads, but wasn’t sure if it was too deep into the threads to be seen.
I apologize for this OT post… I watched Larry King interviewing Jewel tonight. I remember Jewel from the 1st Broncos Superbowl win (maybe 1998) when she absolutely hammered the National Anthem. Tonight LK dissed her and her Hall of Fame cowboy husband (Ty Murray.)
Goodnight Larry King…
P.S. Cher got the next year National Anthem for the next year Broncos Superbowl…and she nailed it too!
Honey, if you feel the need to apologise for being OT, then it belongs in the Open Thread.
Wonderful story! Thank you so much for sharing. I wished I seen it before I wrestled on FB with liberal women trashing Sarah Palin today. I was kind in my “instructions” as they jabbered the usual anti-Palin tripe. Their heads kind of exploded.
Later, I got a private note from the guy whose wall it was …. declaring me the winner as the only reply they ultimately came up with was blaming Fox News. *LOL*
Next time I will use peach cobbler …. I will pray God gives you the wisdom to learn about the candidates before you vote or trash them.
I love you guys.
Hey, “well done!” on the Palin face-to-face!
Be strong and resolute Hillbuzz! I love this website, it is a joy to me everyday to read the emails and posts I recieve from this site! The Left threating Hillbuzz, Hannity,Beck and Limbaugh! It is almost comical! Disregard the Libs Hillbuzz, they are vermin! Alas, I can not figure out how to do a avatar for Hillbuzz to save my tail!!!

Boyz, what a neat story and we can picture her red, white and blue jacket (with star sequins) and catch a whiff of her fragrant Gardenia Passion (?) perfume, as she spoke ever so slowly in her beautiful true Southern accent… you and she have shown us true grace. Hugs and love from another Southerner, SoCal mj-
Beautiful Boyz.
L-M-A-O at the remix posted with this thread. Beyond hilarious. Your sense of humor and perfect timing is one of the reasons I love this blog sooooo much!
Yep, the Left is imploding because they couldn’t find anything to demonize about the rally. The worst insult hurled so far seems to be that it was “a giant church picnic”!! And SP knocked it out of the park with her speech, perfect in tone and tenor.
Yeah, and we all know how we hated those “church picnics”. They were filled with awful people, no friends, bad food….oh, wait a minute…not true.
They can’t even do verbal castigations right!!!! Just shows again who the normal Americans are.
And they should be ashamed of themselves for using language that excludes the Muslims, who wouldn’t know how awful church picnics are.
Two things come to mind with this post. The first is I Peter 4:8 “Love covers a multitude of sins.”
This Southern woman showed love to the tired woman. In this story, I would have been the tired woman. When I get tired and hot (watch out world when hot flashes are combined with humidity), it is so easy for me to lash out in anger and frustration. So I completely relate to the tired woman.
The second thing is Proverbs 15:1 …a soft answer turns away wrath”… When the Southern lady spoke love in that gentle way, it calmed the tired woman. People don’t know what to do with the soft answer. It gets them confused, especially if they are prone to be defensive or hostile about things. It’s like they are walking on a tightrope and have certain expectations of how to keep balance. They are used to the cheers of the crowd or the shout out intended to cause the tightrope walker to go off kilter. So they are already prepared for the mental battle to stay upright.
But, the soft answer in not something most people are prepared for. I think it is one of the most effective tools in a debate.
That crowd on the mall was full of people behaving in soft manners and the media has been thrown off kilter. It’s kind of hard to write a nasty piece about “those people” when they were so peaceful, prayerful and not to mention, neat.
And yes, I think it is more effective than, “Thank you for your opinion.”
Mom,
I agree with you 100%. My Nanna used to call it “killing them with kindness”.
And the crowd wasn’t just peaceful and prayerful like you state, they were filled with genuine JOY and the calm that comes from that.
I find it very touching as well that the tired woman found the grace to accept the gentle rebuke in the spirit it was given….and that those around the tired one stepped to meet her need to feel a little more sheltered….people caring for people. It’s the right thing to do… (double meaning intended).
I have been spending a lot of time on Andrew Bolt’s blog. The moderators tend to allow a number of obvious troll posts. It is getting easier to notice certain troll traits that the left in Australia has in common with the left in America.
Today I noticed that the trolls were misspelling words. It seems that they are given their memes to post in the blog, and because they are too lazy to write something for themselves they alter the meme by misspelling.
The situation is really interesting over here. Julia-the-Red is desperate to hang on to power even though the electorate delivered a message that we do not want her to be the Prime Minister. Tonight the two parties are 50:50. There is a swing of about 2.70% on the 2PP basis. (that should not matter because it is the first preferences and the actual seats won that really count). The real problem is the Independents that were elected and they are seeking their 15 minutes of fame.
In a way I am hoping that Julia-the-Red will take the government, just so that I can watch her demise because she is really hopeless.
testing. My comments are going direct to the spam filter.
Ever since Friday night, I have been shocked at the hate from the left. They are unhinged.
They are imploding and it aint pretty.
I keep thinking… God LOVED what He saw on Saturday. Satan hated it. There are alot of people out there who have satan guiding them, whether they know it or not. I find that frightening… but necessary for us to see it for what it is.
I also have a new respect for Glenn Beck. I always liked him.. but now I see him differently. I see him as a man used as an instrument by God. God used a man who 10 years ago was in shambles. That is humbling to me.
After watching Saturday unfold, I was thinking America is going to be just fine. The left will implode and we will gain our country back. Good always wins.
Bravo!! Wonderful comment
))
“God LOVED what He saw on Saturday. Satan hated it. There are a lot of people out there who have Satan guiding them, whether they know it or not. I find that frightening… but necessary for us to see it for what it is.”
That is exactly what I thought when I saw attack dog Debbie Wasserman-Schultz spew her vicious lies on national television this Sunday.
People who are cancer survivors are guided by the light. Truth guides them. Lies and deceit are no longer part of their life. It is beyond belief her evil doublespeak. How someone can feel their days are numbered, be given a second chance, and continue with evil lies and deceit is beyond my comprehension. I knew I was looking evil in the face while she was speaking. I never thought anyone was beyond redemption but I saw it with my own eyes on Sunday. I can’t breathe when she talks.
That’s why I love Lt. Col. Allen West. He isn’t even running against Wasserman-Schultz but he is taking her on. He is Superman to me. He truly represents “Truth, justice, and the American way.”
May God Bless Lt. Col. Allen West and may He have mercy on us all, Amen.

She is a very dark person.
JRD, I so related to your post, and NCPete, you delivered just as I wanted = )
JRD – I feel the same way about Debbie W-S. You said it very well.
Oh, Kristi I do hope you’re right. I pray daily that the blinders of the people on the Left, who voted for this charlatan will be taken off. I pray daily that they will see. One of these people is my best friend from childhood. We’ve been friends for over 35 years, yet she lives in another city, and is a Lefty local journalist. She sent me an email on 11/5/08, after The Charlatan was elected. All it said was, “woo, hoo!” I cried…for our country, and for good people like my friend. She refuses to see. We don’t talk politics anymore. I just can’t with her.
I don’t wish ill on my friend, but I do wish for a defining moment…one that will open her eyes to the good that is the tea party movement — and the good that is Sarah Palin.
As for the Lefty trolls on here — Hillbuzz, you’re doing something right!
Mom in Wisconsin
I believe that is true. Good always wins – eventually.
Yet, this downward drift toward chaos that we experienced during the “American century” always seems to happen. Think Roman Empire. It’s as if we cannot maintain ourselves at the pinnacle of success.
I believe it was David Viscott, MD who pointed out another contradiction: that we seem to improve, generation by generation, century by century, whereas one would expect entropy to operate. I.E., we should deteriorate, run down, burn out, dissolve, since everything in the universe does, or so it appears. And yet we flourish, and expand our control, and achieve ever higher states of consciousness. In the civilized West we no longer practice crucifixion, or state torture…we just seem to be getting better. Why should this be?
One wants to say: “God” is the answer. But one also wants to know upon what principles does God operate to produce this effect? Yes, I do believe that good always wins, but we have been unable to stop the “slide into socialism” of the last century, which everyone agrees eventually gets you nothing but bad…everyone except socialists. And I do believe the socialists’ motives are “good.” Why are we like this? WHAT is God’s plan?

Let’s just say that, while you can tell them not to over and over until your head falls off, humans have to touch the hot stove to realize why it’s a bad idea.
Beautiful Boyz, just beautiful.
I know for a fact that this rally (revival, American picnic) will make and has already made a difference. I know this because I was on twitter while I was watching the rally from home. And the trolls and goblins were out in fuller-than-usual force there too, with the vilest, nastiest, most revolting comments imaginable.
About two hours into the rally, I began noticing that some of those I follow were simply tweeting back, “I’ll pray for you.” I tweeted to my followers that I was going to do that too from now on; because it is a waste of time and words to try to actually respond as an adult to those junior high school type comments.
What I find so wonderful is that you guys saw this in action (though not with a troll, just a tired woman) and wrote your own conclusion that this is how we need to respond to the goblins, while many others of us also came to the same conclusion while we were watching the rally on TV. The spirit of God was at the rally and in the homes of the millions of us watching at home too, and I believe we all learned the same lesson.
It’s liberating, actually, to simply respond with a “I’ll pray for you,” response. Quick, easy, painless, and I don’t feel so angry at the goblin when I reply that way. I can go on with my little part of helping America without interruption. And make no mistake, interruption, wasting time, making us expend our enerty, throwing us off-track is their whole point.
Thanks Boyz for the beautiful story of the angel walking among you that day.
Excellent idea.
I, for one, am through with trying to argue with them If they cant see the beauty of hundreds of thousands of Americans driving in to DC from all over just to pray for our country.. they are beyond hope…full of hatred.. and blinded by ideology and need prayer.
I am going forward with my own prayer for our country. I am going forward with doing whatever I can to make a better country for my child.
They can wallow in evil and hatred.. that is their own choice. I chose not to get in the dirt with them anymore.
Love your blog… )
Conservative Pup – I just clicked over to your blog – LOVE the puppy!!! (and the content!)
Thanks for the advice Boyz. I know that there are several posters on HB (including myself at times) that experience the hate through friends, family or facebook.
If you don’t respond in kind, they usually have nothing to say.
My comment must have been too long, and is in the spam box. I’ll shorten it.
This story is just beautiful, Boyz. What’s even more beautiful is that as I watched the rally from home Saturday morning, while on twitter with others doing the same, we all noticed what a fever-pitch the lefties were at. About 2 hours into the rally, I and many others began just tweeting back to these goblins “I’ll pray for you,” instead of trying to come up with something witty or clever to “get” them. It works. It gives a feeling of peace and calmness and takes the anger from reading such vitriol away.
Thanks so much for sharing your story of the angel among you, it was a truly beautiful story. God was present at that rally, and His spirit was wafting among all of us watching too. We apparently came to the same idea about the same time.
Thank you for sharing that story. I think that story exemplifies this whole rally.
I’ve still been “chewing” on the hatred from the left. I have a question for the boyz. Back when you were stumping for Hillary… or even before that…would you have understood the rationale of these frothing leftists? Were you EVER on the same mental track they were on?
I’m trying to figure out if those whose eyes were opened, and who bolted from the D party now, ever were really “one of them”, or if they always were a bit separate from the ones we’re seeing now. Do they (like our HB boyz) understand the thought process of those who are sending the hate mail now; or have they always been “apart”?
About the only good thing happening from all this planned destruction of America is that is has united people who never thought they would stand shoulder to shoulder before. And, for the first time, we see each other as only AMERICANS and not with a label stuck on our forehead (like R, or D, or gay, or latino, or black, or whatever…)
Your last paragraph expresses what I’m feeling these days. I’m so grateful to not feel pigeon-holed that I have to oppose others because of labels….that we are Americans first.
That is what was the intent of this country all along… not Latino Americans, but AMERICANS. When the Irish came over they didn’t come over to make a little Ireland in America, but they came over to BECOME AMERICANS. America is supposed to be a “melting pot” all melting into a “new breed”: AMERICAN.
A land of laws, yes. No country can survive without laws and enforcing them. This is why it is so important to punish ILLEGAL immigration.
But for those who follow the laws, and who all “melt together” into a new and different nationality and “breed”- that of AMERICAN- it is a land like no other.
My philosophy is to avoid the company of progressives as much as possible. Even a liberal you think you like is more likely to do something bad to you at some point. And I also can’t bear to spend time with people who are bent on destroying my children’s future prosperity.
But this is the Soros Party now, not the Democrats. While I was never a Democrat, I like to think of Hubert Humphrey as one of the last good Democrats. While he was wrong-headed and was too much in favor of gov programs and taxation, it never occurred to me that he had anything but love for his country. Now Democrats hate America, and hate Americans.
Even my sleepy little blog is getting hatemail like:
“Uuughh… I can’t wait until you racist scumbags disappear.”
I’m saving them to do a Hate Mail post one day
Gee, they never insult me like that. I feel so left out.
I had a similar experience although I wasn’t as grumpy…as soon as the program started a woman and her daughter stood up right in front of us. Her daughter was probably a few years older than mine so she was also a half a foot or so taller too. I asked the woman nicely if my daughter could stand in front of her daughter since she’s shorter so they could both see. Just then the dad in this family came up and said, “here, let her stand up on our seat”…so they let my daughter climb up on their lawn chair so she could see the whole event. THAT was the main act of kindness I experienced that day…but there were so many people there that I know would have done the same thing.
This thread reminds me of a time a large group of U.S. Marines walked through our Tea Party rally on their way to the nearby mall. Needless to say, they got a large round of applause and thanks. They returned the salutations, as one of them said, “You’re the ones fighting for the Constitution today.”
Wow. Leaking eyes.
Yeah. me too.
totally. gulp.
The mindset of the left and right is just so different…I read the comments on Ross Douthat’s editorial re: the rally and was amazed by the sheer hatefulness of many of the commentators.
I don’t hate those on the left – although I do think that what they are doing is destructive. And I can’t fathom the self-hate they must have, as their comments show a really ugly mental mindset, and I don’t believe anyone can hate others that much unless they also hate themselves.
One of the things I’ve noticed in general is that simple politeness and courtesy will many times take the wind right out of the sails of someone acting rudely. They really don’t know how to handle it.
I’m going to practice the ‘soft response’, but I do find myself feeling quite guilty that while all buzzers are talking about the left’s hate, and how they don’t, I have to admit to never having hated them as I do now – - – since Obama. I feel so different from the rest of you, but that’s my honest feeling.
That’s really a good story, and thanks for relating it. I can feel for the sleep-deprived woman.
The untold story of 828 is the physical exhaustion of the participants.
In my home town, the local tea party helped organize buses, coordinating with a larger party in Columbia and Boiling Springs, and every day they seemed to have another full bus doing the “boomarang” to DC, that is, getting on the bus on the 27th, riding all night, attending the rally, and riding all night home.
It’s amazing the joy that can overcome fatigue.
Your avatar is amazing.

This pretty much explains the hate from the left…
