President Obama and his aides are up to their usual deeply unpresidential vitriol, suggesting evil motives on the part of Republicans for opposing Obama’s agenda.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney today compared Republican opponents of the Paycheck Fairness Act to “conservatives” who fought civil rights legislation.
Carney spoke today at the White House briefing:
"Republicans object to this strenuously using the same arguments that conservatives used when they objected to very bit of progress made on civil rights for women and minorities over the past many decades. And they were wrong then, and they are wrong now."
Actually, Republicans oppose the Paycheck Fairness Act because it would add new red tape and bureaucracy for businesses and cause artificial business decisions to preempt government intrusiveness, harming both male and female employees. Not because they hate women.
Carney offered up his nasty rebuke at the end of a tortuous five-minute effort to parry persistent questioning from ABC’s Jonathan Karl about the White House’s own gender pay gap.

So Carney is saying that Republicans are like Democrats.
VTenigma says “Democrats are like Stalinists”
Without the support of a considerable number of Republicans in the Democrat-controlled congress, Johnson would have been dealt an embarassing loss by his own party.
Now, let me go check to see if this is brought up in the New York Times/LA Times/USA Today/CNN/etc., etc. coverage of Carney's statement ... OOPS! Don't see it anywhere ...
When the law is on your side argue the law. When the facts are on your side argue the facts. When neither are on your side do what the Democrats do, lie, cheat, steal, malign and make up statistics.
Racist is verbotten
We are culturists. One can’t criticize on the basis of race but to be critical of cultures and sub cultures ok
Who saw far into the future - "I'll have them n-----s voting Democrat for a hundred years."
The New Civility in action. It’s only going to get worse.
Racists? Jay must have his `isms’ wrapped the old WH axle (again). Or maybe he’s running his own `It’s the Kochs!’ game to distract from the sexism shown in WH pay scales.

Democrats fought, and voted against, civil rights legislation.
Effe Soetoro’s grinder monkey.
Jay Carney, a bit of Baghdad Bob, a bit of Leni Riefenstahl, a bit of Mouth of Sauron..
Democrats are like the Khmer Rouge.
Thanks don-o. Demagogic Party ping.

Carney shoots blanks...again. The lefties need to come up with something new, original, and thought provoking.
When in doubt, attack.
Carney has a history with Karl:
