… [F]or some liberals, the state is in fact a substitute for God and a form of political religion as imagined by Rousseau and Robespierre, the fathers of liberal fascism.
~ Jonah Goldberg, "Liberal Fascism" (2007)
Psychiatrists define displacement as "the transfer of an emotion from its original focus to another object, person, or situation." Displacement is a common defense mechanism used by narcissistic, insecure and deceitful people to obscure or "change" the truth to conform with a new reality more acceptable to their psychological delusions.

In modern times we see this Freudian psychosis of displacement conjoined with the Orwellian government-controlled media during the reporting of three recent murders:
Scenario 1: On May 31, the infamous abortion doctor George Tiller was murdered by a gunman as he worshipped at church in Wichita, Kan. The government-controlled media for over two weeks characterized the event as the result of right-wing talk radio that daily spews hate over the public airwaves.
Scenario 2: On June 1, two soldiers standing outside a recruitment facility in Arkansas were shot by Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, a black man who was said to be angry about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A recent convert to Islam, he was expected to have been further radicalized by his recent trip to Yemen on a Somali passport. Media consensus of the event implied that Muhammad had a legitimate political grievance against America, rather than characterizing him as a Muslim fanatic intent on bringing jihad to America.
Scenario 3: On June 10, James von Brunn, an 88-year-old white supremacist and Neo-Nazi, shot two guards, killing one of them, at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. The government-controlled media in unison characterized Brunn as a typical "right-wing conservative Christian" driven by hate, yet in actuality von Brunn was a Darwin-lover who hated the Bible and Christians, a man who advocated the Democrat socialist policies espoused by Adolf Hitler and used Darwinian theory to support his anti-Semitism.

Do you notice a pattern here? The liberal lies of "conservative hate" regarding these three tragic murders reminds me of the aftermath of the JFK assassination and how it was thoroughly perverted by Democrats and the government-controlled media to achieve two concurrent objectives: 1) Marginalize the GOP by characterizing them as "the hate that killed JFK," and 2) Create the Camelot myth that JFK was a champion of FDR's welfare state, but for the assassin's bullet.
National Review writer Jonah Goldberg, in his best-seller "Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change," devoted an entire chapter on the myth of JFK. Here are a few highlights:
- Shortly after the JFK assassination on Nov. 22, 1963, a very young news correspondent named Dan Rather picked up on the gossip of the time calling Dallas, "the city of hate."
- "Kennedy's aides blamed deranged and unnamed right-wingers." "He didn't even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights," Jackie lamented to Bobby Kennedy when he told her the news. "It had to be some silly little Communist."
- "Camelot" or the Kennedy-media-created myth that JFK died battling "hate" – established code, then and now, for the political right.
- Supreme Court justice Earl Warren, who LBJ tapped to write the official report on the JFK assassination, remarked on the "climate of hatred" in Dallas, due to the heavy concentration of Republicans in that city, that drove Lee Harvey Oswald to kill the president.
How does the psychosis of "displacement" apply to the JFK assassination? Goldberg wrote, "Amid the fog of denial, remorse, and confusion over the Kennedy assassination, an informal strategic response developed that would serve the purposes of the burgeoning New Left as well as assuage the consciences of liberals generally: transform Kennedy into an all-purpose martyr for causes he didn't take up and for a politics he didn't subscribe to."

Displacement psychosis and liberal deceit continues in modern times. Remember Obama, Hillary and Rahm Emmanuel's mantra – You never want a good crisis to go to waste. Implicit in this Machiavellian aphorism is the political rationalization "The end justifies the means." Liberals are viewed as inherently good, and all the good works they intend for "the poor" must be allowed by divine right whether We the People are smart enough to vote for them or not.
On the other hand, Republicans, particularly conservatives, are considered evil incarnate by conventional liberalism. Conservatives like Sen. Joe McCarthy, Ronald Reagan, Michael Savage, Justice Clarence Thomas, Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay and Sarah Palin are considered worst than Osama bin Laden, Hitler, Iran and North Korea by the government-controlled media. Why? Because they integrate law and morality and they are effective exponents of conservative ideas. This is blasphemous to liberals because liberals view Obama as "sort of God," as recently demonstrated by Newsweek's Evan Thomas, and liberalism and politics the only true religion.
How did liberals transfer their hate to conservatives to kill the truth?

Liberals got away with hate displacement under Woodrow Wilson (1913-21), America's first fascist president whose fascism predated other noted fascist by years – Lenin (1917), Mussolini (1922), Hitler (1933), Franco (1939). Liberals got away with hate displacement under the socialist state of FDR (1933-45), electing him to a record four terms. Liberals got away with hate displacement under LBJ (1963-69) who seized the Kennedy Camelot myth and exploited it for his own purposes, which he called "The Great Society."
Today President Obama has wholeheartedly assumed the JFK mantle and the myth, complicit with Hollywood and the state-run media in America, the rival to Hitler's chief movie propagandist, Leni Riefenstahl. They have helped Obama secure the presidential nomination through a complex pyramid of lies that support his naked fascism including innumerable separation of power violations.
Whether you call it displacement, liberal fascism, propaganda, socialism, government totalitarianism or the Liberal-Muslim Axis, all of it amounts to the liberal hate that kills truth. Thomas Jefferson said it best: When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
