The Insiders: The impeachment talk won’t go away – Obama won’t let it
WaPo ^ | 8/24/2013 | Ed Rogers

Posted on 08/24/2013 5:44:52 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

For good reason, the bar for what makes us consider someone crazy in politics is getting higher all the time. As I’ve said, if you think Wall Street is rigged, the government is spying on you and that if you get out of line the Internal Revenue Service will come after you, you’re not considered a nut anymore.

It’s always been a fantasy of the political fringe, dating back to the formation of the John Birch Society and maybe even earlier, that the president of the United States be impeached for something or another. But this time around, the talk is becoming more mainstream and sounding less and less crazy.

On its face, impeachment seems far-fetched and borderline wacky; it is definitely off-message from where I think the GOP should be focused. Republicans need to concentrate on Obamacare and the economy, because that is what will drive votes in November 2014.

But the fire the president is stoking through his willful flaunting of the law can’t be denied. Perhaps the former constitutional law professor has overreached and decided that the Constitution is more flexible than he once thought. His misdeeds are increasingly being detailed by commentators, even those who are not marginalized conservatives. No less than Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) – who is particularly bright and well-regarded – has broached the issue and is raising the notion that impeachment is conceivable. This drew a sharp rebuke — rather than a laugh – from David Axelrod, suggesting that perhaps Senator Coburn hit a nerve.

Ed Rogers writes something as stupid as this, and expects to be taken seriously. Less than 20 years ago, President Clinton was impeached.

He is right about one thing. As the Media dinosaurs like the WaPo lose their control over the flow of information, the "political fringe", meaning conservatives, looks more and more mainstream.

From the article:

The talk about impeachment just isn’t as crazy as it used to be. It’s a distraction politically, but it’s not meritless and it won’t go away.

The bottom line.

What better way to cover up Bengahzi, Fast and furious, IRS, Wind and Solar panel gate, NSA spying on US, Over-riding the constittution? Don’t look into who accompaines Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the president’s hand isn’t that pay back at US taxpayer expence?. Isn’t that an impeachable offense ??

Now if somebody even suggests impeachment. Get to your black base voters, whom you’ve done nothing for,.all worked up. Pick on some security guard who’s doing his job. Accuse him of being racist ,even though he is part black..But his last name sounds “jewish.”Who’s doing surveilance in an mixed race area of modest means a where there’s been robberies and burgalries by young blacks. Now call that surveilance stalking, the area he’s patrolling owned by rich whities,and the guard of course he’s white.That person he’s watching a 10 year old black kid and a saint ,not six foot two 165 pound 16 year old, who gets killed fighting over a gun. . Now paint a target on the security guards back .Ain’t that neat ? What better way to discourage any investigation into malfeasance and corruption by organizing the base for riots in the streets ?

The result as we have seen is that another marxist axiom (division) has been implemented which has resulted with gangs of black youths murdering happless whites and “hispanics” who happen into areas usually where a black population is the majority.

Those media outlets who by their delberate misuse of the instrument of the 1st amendment are just as complicit in those deaths as the regime is. Other forms of media particularly the black media had the duty but not the obligation to verify and report factually. But instead quoted the reports from various “mainlining” socialist media sources: Some examples here all of which serve the first purpose of selecting Zimmerman as the target.

What is the result ? Black youths believing they would get top level peer approval began attacking happless white and hispanics which may have wandered into their area which resulted in murders or serious injury and some cases stalked their white victims. In reality those victims are martyrs to the cause of American socialism., and the political opposition says nothing..

Think it’s too far fetched ? Think it’s not working ? Look again http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3051558/posts

To date the political opposition known as Republican has yet to mention or comment on this example of how this regime operates. Time to ask them why ?

Background info

You are encouraged to Print up or email -pass it on....Why ? Time to expose citizens to the face the facts that they may believe whatever activity they get involved in is perfectly legitimate and legal. If it suits their purposes this regime and its adhearants will paint a target on their back. Wether it’s a black hispanic who gets turned in a “white hispanic” or union members losing their health care benefits if Obamacare gets funded.

While the leadsership of the opposition party which had the opportunity to expose Obamamcare during the 2012 election http://www.theusmat.com failed to do so are still fumbling about in search of “demographics”.

The John Birch Society called for impeaching Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the United States. Robert Welch thought that Dwight Eisenhower was a Communist, but I don’t recall him calling for Ike to be impeached.
