OH HOW THEY LOVE TO SLING AROUND THE “E” WORD

In the wake of last week’s Republican election blowout we’re starting to see a revival of the “E” word. Every where you look the media and the Democrats are referring to conservatives and Republicans as “extremists." (OK EVERYONE, WE ARE NOW EXTREMISTS! RIGHT WINGED EXTREMISTS! I PLEAD GUILTY!)

Remember this. Whenever you hear a politician or a media pundit blurt out the “extremist” word you know that they are substituting rhetoric for oratory. They know that a large part of their under-educated constituency is intellectually incapable of understanding the facts and nuances surrounding the various issues that comprise our political debate in 2002. To appeal to these mindless voters the left just goes for the “extremist” label. They don’t’ need to tell their followers why they disagree with the conservative viewpoint … or why the conservative viewpoint is wrong. All they feel they have to do is label it as “extreme” and they’re home free.

SO --- YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT EXTREME?

How about California Democrat Nancy Pelosi? She represents California. She’s a leftist … a far, far left leftist … and she’s about to take Richard Gephardt’s place as the leader of the House Democrats.

Let me share a few things about Nancy Pelosi … tell me if the “extreme” word would work with her!

First … Nancy Pelosi is on the executive committee of the Democrat’s Progressive Caucus. The word “progressive,” in case you didn’t know, is generally regarded as a substitute for the word “socialist.”

So you think I’m overreacting here? Would it make any difference if you knew that up until a few years ago the Internet website of the Progressive Caucus was hosted by the Democratic Socialists of America? How about if I told you that another leader of the Progressive Caucus was none other than Bill and Hillary’s pal from Vermont, avowed Socialist Congressman Bernie Sanders?

The ties between the Progressive Caucus and the Democratic Socialists of America are clear. According to World Net Daily, if you had visited the DSA website [http://www.dsausa.org/] prior to 2000 you might have seen some of their favorite songs, including one sung to the tune of Red Red Robin with these words: "When the Red Revolution brings its solution along, along, there'll be no more lootin' when we start shootin' that Wall Street throng. ..."

Another of the DSA’s greatest hits contained this line: “Are You Sleeping, are you sleeping? Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie. And when the revolution comes, We'll kill you all with knives and guns, Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie."

After World Net Daily exposed these songs, and the connection with the Democrat’s Progressive Caucus, the songs were removed and the Progressive Caucus moved to another internet server.

Nancy Pelosi. Pleaaasse … go ahead and make her the Minority Leader. It just couldn’t get any better than that.

Interesting thoughts from Boortz today. Go to his site to see his photo of him and President Bush I at Texas A&M this past weekend. Boortz was invited down to the game and while walking around President Bush's library gounds, ran into the ex-Prez and had his photo taken.

--Two simple reasons why the Republicans won.--

1) The DNC and the Clinton King and Queen were effectively told by the American people....

WERE NOT GONNA TAKE,NO! WERE NOT GONNA TAKE IT...ANYMORE

NO MORE LIES, HATRED, CORRUPTION AND EMBARRASMENT!!!

LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO PARTIES AND IT IS A NO-BRAINER AS TO WHY THE DNC LOST!

2)

THE RNC WEB PAGE

THE DNC WEB PAGE

THE DIFFERENCE IS APPARENT...THE RNC HAS CLASS AND MORALS AND AN AGENDA THE MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT. THE DNC ARE A BUNCH OF CHILDISH, WHINY LOSERS, THAT DO NOTHING BUT BASH OTHERS ON THEIR WEB PAGE!

EXTREMISTS!

I certainly hope so!

Extremism is the act the Democrats started in 1964 and it worked against Barry Goldwater. It just worlked against Bill Simon. this year. No where else. Certainly not on the national scene.

It will not work against Dubya Bush. People like Dubya. They like him more than Clinton. They like him more than Al Gore. When anyone looks at Dubya the last thing that comes to their mind is extremists. Nice Guy in control and doing what is right... is what comes to mind when people look at Dubya.

Look at our Repubican national leaders. Does Rummy look like an extremist? Hardly. What about Powell? Does he look like an extremist? And that nastly ole Cheney takes kindhearted niceness to new extremes.

Then how about Lott or Hastert pr the head of the RNC.

How about our leading senators? Do they look like extremeists?

Most of the complaints on FR are about the panty waist roll over wimps that are the Republican leadership. No one but Carville thinks they are extreme.

Fat ugly girls should never claim that pretty girls are ugly. It just draws attention to a beauty contest they can't win.

I have been saying for the past couple of days that the truth of the reason that the Democrat party was unable to to openly articulate their agenda is because they could not admit to the US voters that their agenda was one of world socialism, The Third Way. So, they tried to sneak it in through the backdoor, calling it Progressivism.

This meant that they had to break the issues down into various special interest movements, such as slavery reparations, abortion rights and hate crime legislation.

They couldn't admit what their plans for the economy were because they didn't include anything that would aid the capitalist system that we now enjoy. In fact the Democrat agenda included items such as the Kyoyo treaty, which would have further dampened the economy.

The far left wing of the Democrat party opposed Homeland Security and the War on Terror because they would like to see the US subjugated to a world government, which would further milk our economy by subjecting US companies to world taxes.

Is it any wonder that the Democrat Party were such big losers in last week's election?

Just another double standard, when it comes to describing political parties or religious views, only conservatives are "extremists, zealots, religious fanatics", while liberals get by with benign labels such as "moderate, progressive, tolerant, inclusive". But that's okay, because those who really count spoke on November 5 and made a clear, "extremist" statement. Those on the left will have to learn to live with this for the next two years!

[Billthedrill]

Yeah, "extreme" was the word of the day for the libs - yesterday a story on Patty Murray (ptui!) quoted her pre-election speech with that locution prominently featured. The problem is that in the absence of alternative plans, the one proposed isn't "extreme" at all, it's the only game in town. And the Dems were notably short of alternative plans, and found that simply labeling the only ones going as "extreme" wasn't, predictably, enough.

LOL
Well Said!

BTTT

Whenever a conservative encounters the "extreme" label this should be the response:

Why is it considered "extreme" to want to save babies,
but to accept their killing is labled "mainstream"?

[Cicero]

The extremist charge worked against Barry Goldwater because in those days he was saying things no one had heard before, and saying them rather harshly and dogmatically. They may have been worth saying, but his tone was wrong. And people weren't clued in yet as to this Dem tactic.

The extremist charge only worked against Bill Simon because the media completely blocked him out, so no one got a chance to see that he's a nice guy, very pleasant, not at all harsh. In fact I think it was the "incompetent" charge that got Simon, again because the media never gave him a chance to communicate who he is. Even some Freepers believed that one.

And the Dem page uses pop-ups! Grrrrrrr!!

[js1138]

I've heard there are "snapshots" of the internet as it was in the past. Anybody know anything about this? It would be interesting to document Boortz's claims.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

Yes, pop ups begging for YOUR money ever so desparately!!!

They would steal cyber wallets if they could!

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

I have noticed since I went to the DNC web page my spam increases as well. Such scums let them think all the FReeper hits to their site are donors or democrats LOL!

The modus operendi of democratts in politics against Republicans is two fold- call us "extremeist", "ultra right wing", "religious right"- etc- etc. And call us "dumb". Ever notice how every single Republican in the last 50 years is always "stupid" to the media and the Democrats? Eisenhower- stupid. Nixon- stupid and mean. Ford- stupid (maybe the only one in which it was true), Reagan- very stupid and dangerously so. Bush Senior- a babbling wimpy idiot, and Bush Junior- dumb. Meanwhile every Democratic candidate has been "too smart" to be President. Adalai Stevenson- was an intellectual "collosus". Kennedy was a genius, Johnson was said to be an voracious reader. And of course Gore's problem was that he was just so damned smart that he scarred voters with his mighty intellect!

Democrats never debate issues- they simpley call us either "extreme" or "stupid" or both. There are some bright and intelligent Republicans to the media and to Democrats. But guess who they always turn out to be? Liberal NorthEast Republicans like Jeffords, Chaffe, Whitman, and Snow- who have liberal voting and governing records more liberal than most Democrats. A good case study is to see the portrayal of Packwood in the media when he was their pet "maverick" showcase Republican and then see how they reffered to him after his scandal. Before- he was brilliant- well read- articulate- had an "amazing mind" blah blah- afterwards he was described as a simplton and a vulgarian and a very shallow thinker. These descriptions were taken from the same papers and these descriptions were seperated by only a few years and in some cases months.

When you have the major media doing your work for you for 50 years you lose the ability to debate or even honestly see your opponents stengths and weaknesses. This- in the long run has really turned out to the benefit of the GOP.

[johnb838]

Yes it benefits the GOP because fewer and fewer people are bothering to watch the network news because they are realizing that it is as phony as Isvestia and Pravda in the old Soviet Union.
