'Conservative pundit Tucker Carlson: People are “really underestimating the vitriolic dumbness” that’s out there. “I don’t think there’s any way to understate it. … It’s mostly on the left,” he said, and it’s “totally intolerant.” It’s “the least liberal thing I have ever seen — the default position is ‘I don’t agree with you; you are either stupid or corrupt,’” he said. “I think it’s actually hurting the country.'

It seems to me they're whining about losing control of American thought. These media commentators resent losing their hold on public opinion.
How dare us think without them.

How do they keep getting away with this shit, and when are we all going to scream "ENOUGH!"

grandma · 1 year ago

I don't know how they get away with it.....I guess 8 yrs of Bush and Rove wasn't bad enough for some people.

Joneses · 1 year ago

If I were a Conservative Republican I'd be feeling abused by my political party right about now.

McCain Campaign On Palin
Their current position:

“The media should respect Bristol’s privacy. That’s always been the tradition and practice when it comes to the children of candidates.”
http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily...

Waiting for someone to now ask McCain about the crude joke he told publicly at a Republican fundraiser about 18 yr old Chelsea Clinton.

McHypocrit

Jake Tapper of ABC says that Palin was a member of the Alaska Independence PArty in the 90's:

Yes, a party that wants a vote on whether Alaska can secede from the union.
Country First indeed!

This just goes to prove that most of America has no clue wtf is goes on up there in Alaska... I wouldn't be surprised if Hawaii is down there planning on taking over the rest of the country!

The worst part is its clear that the GOP is really saddened that Gustav is slowing down. The more damage it did the more of an excuse they had to put off and downplay a convention that is mired in the failings of the Bush administration for the last 8 years and the failings of the McCain campaign in the last week and one that would inevitably fail to match the energy and excitement of the DNC's.

In the words of Obama....McCain just doesn't 'get it'

What a pathetic old man.

CNN is now refering to the arrested protesters in Minny as "Anarchists."

Now, "Liberal Bloggers & Anarchists" can be blended into one convenient McCarthyite/Rovian talking point : Lefty Bloggers = Un-American Hippies.

'Lefty Bloggers = Un-American Hippies"

Woohoo...twice in a lifetime.
I would wager I'm more American than any commentator.

The Joke that should have sunk McCain

The Guardian
Tuesday September 2 2008

Imagine the stink that would erupt were David Cameron to stand up in front of a dinner of rich Conservative backers and make a "joke" that implied that Sarah Brown had had a lesbian affair with Jacqui Smith and produced a love child (and an ugly one to boot). Can you imagine British papers deciding to downplay the story because it was in such bad taste, allowing Cameron to carry on with his assault on Downing Street?

Cross the pond and that is exactly what happened to John McCain at a fundraising dinner in Arizona a decade ago.

The remark packed into its 15 words several layers of misogyny. It disparaged the looks of Chelsea, then 18 and barely out of high school;

http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2008/sep...

The Washington Post broke it in June 1998 but declined to relate the joke on the grounds it was "too vile to repeat"

And McCain has the gall to say families are off-limits....what about YOU Mr.McCain...

I really think Rove is in crisis. Oh my.

aquarius2 · 1 year ago

I am so completely disgusted with Republicans and their whines! They spit venom and have the utter gall to say there should be no retribution. They lie (McCain and Palin), they steal (to many to count) they call for murder (radio talk show hosts) they cheat (to many to name).

A reporter on Politico has the audacity to say that Palin may be okay because she now has problems that ordinary working people have in their everyday life. That is the new spin on this bimbo, she is just like you.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Has anyone ever done an in depth study of Republicans (the neo kind...current) and Democrats at the DNA level to determine if we are even really the same species?

I mean, not all, but the average republican seems to be using their lizard peabrains a lot more than any other part of it. The video of their parties, and response to being "caught" (attack, mindlessly), etc. Their inherent idea that locked in their overfed, pampered bodies is some kind of Clint Eastwood "did it all myself" ethic...though with the twist that they need a mint on their pillow or they get crabby...

There is just something really creepy about their outlook, their lack of empathy, their whininess and their disconnect.

We're not all angels either, but I think most Dems start out with a basic openness, inclusion, optimism, and belief that we all are essentially good.
