Oh, So Now We Have a Truce?
The Sundries Shack — ... that this is a nice gesture . Problem is, it’s a fairly empty one. You don’t get a cookie for saying “Well, hey, I’m listening to you now” after eight years of likening me and mine to genocidal maniacs, slave owners, brainless drones, and the Taliban, just to mention a few of the most common insults. The left has always been full of cheap words and I don’t doubt for a second that if John McCain had won, we’d be seeing yet another “I’m Sorry” web site. Call me when they start putting some actions on the table. ...

My letter to Ze Frank...

The "From 52 to 48 with Love" Site
Little Miss Attila — The "From 52 to 48 with Love" Site Uniting Americans. I think I'm down with this. Treacher is, however, a bit skeptical : There's nothing easier than telling the guy you just beat that he should forget the depths you plumbed to do so. And I forgot to mention the whole deal with, y'know, the last 8 years of lefty rage? It's just become such a part of the scenery, you almost forget sometimes. Plus Obama's voter fraud and credit-card fraud and constant lies about his past and false accusations of racism and the fact that he's already making far-left appointments and he ...

From 48 to 52: Thanks, But No Thanks
Ace of Spades HQ — ... , no matter how much I'm tempted, I'm going to avoid falling into the fever swamps of unbridled hatred the left has inhabited for the last eight years. I'm not happy about the election, but I'm not going to put a stupid "Not MY President" bumper sticker on my car. (A "Don't Blame Me...I Voted Red?" Maybe. ) So far, I've been successful in keeping the blood pressure down. Then I saw this site: From 52 to 48 With Love , in which the same group of spoiled little brats that threw a full-throated temper tantrum after losing in 2004 now tell us that everything's okay because they ...

52 to 48
Silent Running — Several other bloggers have reacted to this , some of them vehemently . My reaction is more one of sad bemusement at the notion of a ‘divided’ nation, and see this as another ignorant display by folks most charitably referred to as useful idiots. Then again, I seriously doubt that many, if any, of them really understand how manufactured, childish, and downright ridiculous a lot of their eight years of rage really was. I equally doubt that they fully understand what it was they were being goaded to ask for, and what, in fact, they have received. Or that they’ll realize ...

oh, so now you want to play nice?
Daily Pundit — Via Ace, we have a gallery of sweet nothings from the enablers of our would-be Leftist masters. Now you want peace, love, and mutual respect? Now you want tolerance, brotherhood, and cooperation? The deranged moonbats think they finally got their dearest wish, their socialist Messiah, and now, after eight years of vitriol, slander, and insane rage, they want us to grab our ankles and give in willingly? Oh, no. No, no, a thousand times no. We are not going to forget that you spent eight years crapping all over not just conservatives, but ...

From 48 To 52: “Dorp Dead”*
Sadly, No! — ... * Cf., cf., cf., cf.

No Sale
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler — Pardon me, but I need to go outside and vomit after having seen this . [...] There, all better now. So now that you’ve finally gotten your Messiah elected, you “52 percenters” are all about making up with us “48 percenters”, working together and promising to listen to us and respect us even, it is to laugh, “fight for us?” For the sake of “unity?” Gee… In other times, under different circumstances, I’d be full of praise for an initiative such as yours, and I’d be deeply appreciative of your magnanimity in victory. Seriously. But considering that I’ve just lived through 8 ...

From 48 To 52
Sadly, No! — ... we would love to see a group project where mccain supporters reached out to the obama folk (and others) in a gesture of reconciliation… ...

What Do You Think?
Daily Pundit — This is from that ludicrous pile of crap, the “52-48″ post, wherein pathetic lefties beg that we on the right not treat them the way they treated us for years. And this is from an equally pathetic bunch of lefties “apologizing” for GWB’s re-election in 2004? So…separated at birth? Or Zit-boy with longer hair and better skin?

AND SO IT GOES...
Dr. Sanity — ... See you then--always supposing I can cope with all the genuine and sincere expressions of love now being directed in this political direction. Aren't these the same loving clueless dudes who four years ago sent out a ...

I Have No Idea What This Means
Balloon Juice — ... Not sure if this is just a particularly bizarre name, or if I am being dumber than usual (a terrifying thought, really), but I have no idea where the name comes from in this 52 to 48 stuff. ...

Payback time?
TigerHawk — ... such idiots? Whatever one thinks of the crowd's response -- not exactly "52 to 48 with love" -- it is a bit hard to blame President-elect Obama for this one. The Philly cops, maybe, but not Barack Obama. CWCID: ...

Smug Lefty A-Holes Wanna Make Nice Now
Caption This! — Bite it, Commies. After eight years of "Bush is a war criminal" and three months of "Sarah Palin is a see-you-next-tuesday," Now, they're all about unity. You can just bite it, douchebags. ...

Now That Their Messiah Won-- Moonbats Want Peace & Reconciliation
Gateway Pundit — Now that Democrats cleaned up in the election they are asking for peace. Liberals even put together a website asking everybody to come together... Let bygones be bygones. Sweet. Andrew Breitbart wrote about the conciliatory tone of the Obama voters at The Washington Times today. Here are a few images from the website: From 52 to 48 With Love "I voted blue... I voted red... I voted blue... I voted ...

Dear 52...
Confederate Yankee — Dear 52... Yes, I saw your messages . Dozens and dozens of them. How wonderful that you want to reach out now , after the last eight years. You do remember the last eight years, right? You lost in Florida. Remember how you reacted? "Selected, not elected," and "Not my President" were the order of the day. But that was just the beginning. You kept nursing your grudge, cultivating it, stocking it, and formed insular, community-based realities to echo and increase your hysteria. That budding insanity you reveled in helped lead to ever-more vicious rants and vitriol, of ...

Moonbats Ready for Unity Now
Moonbattery — Remember after Bush was reelected, how a bunch of long-faced moonbats posted pictures of themselves holding signs expressing their hatred of the President and irritatingly apologizing to the world for living in a country that would elect him? Now that their own candidate has won with a similar percentage of the popular vote, suddenly they believe in unity. Have a bucket handy before visiting from52to48withlove. A few samples of what you'll find there: ...

Anti-Prop. 8 mob: It’s over. You lost. Move on.
Michelle Malkin — ... You lost. Move on. With almost 11 million ballots tallied, Prop. 8 had 52.3% of the vote, with 47.7% against. Although many ballots remain to be counted, the 500,000-vote spread is viewed as insurmountable. You know how those Obama supporters have launched their treacly “healing” website, “from 52 to 48 | 48 to 52 with love?” Maybe Prop. 8 supporters should do the same thing. If you are a Californian who voted for Prop. 8 and want to send a healing message to a sore loser who voted against it, feel free to send me a photo, e-mail, or comment and I’ll create a separate “from ...

Obama Promises Continue to Expire - Organic Farming Blamed
Daily Pundit — ... I’m pretty sure that nobody informed our oh-so-wuvvable, cuddwy, new bestest fwends in the 52% that “consensus” is code for “talk it to death, but don’t do anything”. Feeling any buyer’s remorse yet, sheeptards? ...

Moonbats Wish They Had the Nerve to Throw Their Shoes at the President
Moonbattery — ... out of shame for their country. When they won in 2008, they were suddenly ready for unity, posing with signs about how we are now all united beneath our revered President Elect. But then a fellow socialist threw his shoes at President Bush, reminding them that the Moonbat Messiah isn't the real president yet, so the peace and love will have to wait a few weeks. The latest exhibit of progressive classiness is a site entitled ...

If Moonbats Started to Develop a Clue
Moonbattery — If seeing is believing (too bad it isn't), even some moonbats are beginning to realize that the unfolding catastrophe of Comrade Obama's presidency is too high a price for the warm gooey feeling they got by voting for the black guy with a name like a terrorist. Remember the sites they put up with pictures of themselves apologizing for Bush's reelection, proclaiming that we're all united under Chairman Zero, and symbolically throwing their shoes at Bush? Doug Ross @ Journal is hosting the latest version, which allows the idiots who voted ...
