As I reported on Friday, the left was bloviating hot air well in advance of the Koch brother’s conference in the Desert where successful and civic-minded Americans convened this weekend to discuss such dubious topics as job creation and reigning in government spending. Well the weekend has come and gone and with it a protest brought to us by Common Cause, the Courage Campaign, Code Pink, Ruckus, and of course labor unions.
The protest resulted in 25 arrests and attacked libertarians and conservatives with a lot of the typical rhetoric we see from the left. But as we learned this morning from Jen Rubin over at the Washington Post’s Right Turn Blog the hypocrisy on display yesterday was even worse that I originally predicted in this post last week.
Showing no concern for the new civility push that followed the Arizona massacre, a group of leftist 
activists from groups including Code Pink, Common Cause and jewel of liberal think tanks, the Center for American Progress, turned into a loud mob complete with Nazi imagery outside a conservative gathering in Rancho Mirage, California.
Rubin continues:
Also celebrated was the historical figure Guy Fawkes, whom 
the left routinely associates with anti-government violence.
According to an eye-witness who contacted me by e-mail, protesters shouted "traitors," held signs that said "Koch Kills" and chanted "No justice, no peace" outside the hotel. A Koch representative whom I contacted had this comment on the day’s events: "This is the kind of ‘civil debate’ the left wants to have after Tucson?"
One additional note: Inside the same conference center as the conservatives was a conference of judges from the Ninth Circuit. The recent death of a federal judge in Arizona did not give the mob pause about the propriety of their actions.
Exactly.
Two weeks ago we are given a national lecture by the left about the need for a more civil tone in politics as they shamefully attempted to pin the actions of a madman on the right. Yesterday some of these same people stage a massive protest that embraces people using as swastika symbol on their signs, using blood and the word “kill” in their messaging, and even encourages its participants to get arrested. I would like to believe that Common Cause and their other allies in organizing this protest would condemn these signs and sentiments, but something tells me that’s not going to happen. Instead, the hypocrisy will rage on.
