San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom in an interview on MSNBC this morning called defeated Democrat Martha Coakley “the victim.”
Democrats love to see victims in every conflict and when the voters defeat them they quickly consider themselves victims of voters who they like to call “angry mobs” and other epithets when the American people don’t support their left-wing agenda.
The danger of this attitude is that Democrat’s next step will inevitably be finding ways to protect the “victim.” They have complained about the influence of talk radio and internet blogs. Today, the failed left-wing radio network Air America filed for bankruptcy again.
More on the Obama administrations attempts to regulate talk radio and internet blogs and control free speech will come in a future post on Florida Pundit.
