The GOP Consulting Class Is Becoming Seriously Unhinged….

by sundance

Beyond the previous examples of DC’s chattering class punditry: George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Stephen Hayes, Dana Perino, Charles Lane, Bill Kristol et al, and their on-air splodey head moments -which are continuing with the speed of an interstate covered in bubble wrap- we now have the paid GOP consultant class joining them.

GOP political consultant Rick Wilson has been in a highly visible war of words with Breitbart.com over the website’s editorial support for GOP candidate Donald Trump.

Wilson said on CNN that approximately 25% of Republicans were “low information voters”, a disparaging statement in line with the recent proclamations of FOX’s George Will. Breitbart.Com along with a few other conservative sites, wrote a response suggesting that antagonizing such voters is not how the GOP would win elections.

However, Wilson’s protestations reached exponential levels of pearl-clutching anxiety when he began making the insufferable ridiculous claim that Trump supporters were sending rape threats towards his daughter.

The absurdity of the GOPe professional consulting class was/is laughable – because it reflects the apoplectic reaction from the advance of the “Vulgarians”.

Ann Coulter joined in by directing her Twitter followers to the article on the Breitbart site which showcased the absurd reaction from the chattering class.

And then this happened:

rick Wilson( Via Instapundit ) […] GOP establishment is trying so hard to discredit Trump that they don’t seem to realize that they are angering a large portion of their own constituency, which is hungering for leadership and a willingness to openly defy P.C. norms. To paraphrase Hamlet, me thinks they dost protest too much, and it is beginning to backfire on them and cause them to take openly hypocritical positions.

Indeed, they are now taking the position that deporting illegal immigrants is wrong. Oh, how the establishment loves to talk tough on immigration when it suits its purposes of ginning up conservatives on election day. But when a candidate comes along who actually wants to do something about the issue–and isn’t afraid to defy political correctness to do so–the GOP establishment suddenly cries foul, and brands him a fool, dictator, or police state zealot. The necessary implication is that the GOP establishment is all hat, no cattle on immigration.

No wonder increasing numbers of those who self-identify as Republican now openly abhor the party, and it totters on the brink of implosion. (link)

Jeff -- Here's a quote from P.J. O'Rourke in which he unloads on a helpless Euroweenie:

I was having dinner…in London…when eventually he got, as the Europeans always do, to the part about “Your country’s never been invaded.” And so I said, “let me tell you who those bad guys are. They’re us. WE BE BAD. We’re the baddest-assed sons of bitches that ever jogged in Reeboks. We’re three-quarters grizzly bear and two-thirds car wreck and descended from a stock market crash on our mother’s side. You take your Germany, France, and Spain, roll them all together and it wouldn’t give us room to park our cars. We’re the big boys, Jack, the original, giant, economy-sized, new and improved butt kickers of all time. When we snort coke in Houston, people lose their hats in Cap d’Antibes. And we’ve got an American Express card credit limit higher than your piss-ant metric numbers go. You say our country’s never been invaded? You’re right, little buddy. Because I’d like to see the needle-d*cked foreigners who’d have the guts to try. We drink napalm to get our hearts started in the morning. A rape and a mugging is our way of saying ‘Cheerio.’� Hell can’t hold our sock-hops. We walk taller, talk louder, spit further, f*ck longer and buy more things than you know the names of. I’d rather be a junkie in a New York City jail than king, queen, and jack of all Europeans. We eat little countries like this for breakfat and shit them out before lunch.” Of course, this guy should have punched me. But this was Europe. He just smiled his shabby, superior European smile. (God, don’t these people have dentists?)

THAT is the American Attitude of old.

Bush (what an apt name!) '41, Clinton, Bush '43, the Bamster, all tried to take that from us...until we almost forgot.

(Bush '43 didn't fight back against the left, so all of his successes in the Middle East got pissed away by Hussein. Err, Barack, not Saddam.)

But Trump is reminding us again.

May true Americans answer to the call -- and may he be succeeded by a Christian.

Nice. When Ann isn’t touting the likes of Mittens and Chris Christie she can be damned funny.

Dr Ben and Mr T have been friends a long time
The Dr said when asked T wee just another guy in the ....area
He then said he wee one of the kindest, most thoughtful generous men he knew and his private person was not like his public persona.

They are both involved with St Jude and the Thomas family. Look up the Eric Trump Foundation which manages the majority of the Trump philanthropic activity. There is much common ground between them. Trump appears to have help fund many of the doctors Projects

If he had said this about my wife or daughter I would beat him like a circus monkey.

I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to like that kind of thing...

When can I see their slate of candidates to vote for in Michigan?

I don't know about Michigan, but Curly, Larry and Moe would be better than Mitch and the Weeper.

My family too. Even had a cross burned in yard by KKK. An uncle had married a 1/4 Indian and the family came to visit awhile. Klan wasn’t just against the negroid race. They hated republicans and anyone they felt inferior. Similar philosophy as Margaret Sangors founder of PP

the punditry losing their senses over Trump...

Pretty illuminating, isn't it? It's an eye-opening moment for millions of conservatives who've depended on many of those pundits for solid political analysis for so many years.

Now we see that they've been in bed with the establishment all along. Either that, or they're too plain blinkered to realize what's happening before their eyes.

I have financially supported Cruz and I enjoy what Trump is doing.

I'm with you, FRiend.

True. But his knowledge of medical profession and hospital organization should be used to clean up our health industry / VA needs. Could you imagine his knowledge let loose on the bureaucracy of either of those two areas

I would also use Carly expertise at destroying (restructuring) business to EPA or Education

I think it is pretty obvious that Rick has either paid for, or been paid for, sexual favors. People who are not well-versed with the subject would not be so cavalierly familiar with what costs more or not.

Or instead why not vote for a true conservative? Namely, Ted Cruz

Yes, folks forget that thanks to LBJ. He was so right when he cynically conceived of The Great Society and said that “N***ers” would vote Democrat for the next 200 years.

Republicans were the party of conscience. That has certainly changed over time and now, for the most part, they stand for nothing. Men like McConnell, Boehner, McCain, Alexander, Corker, Cornyn, etc. are disgraceful. These old despicable men need to step aside for men who have fight and convictions.

Sadly the leaders of the Republican party are a bunch of self-serving, alcoholic, greedy, tired old men.

Rick Wilson is a scum sucking pig. If he had said this about my wife or daughter I would beat him like a circus monkey.

It just hit me that Rick Wilson may have tweeted that vulgar insult to Ann, because he knows she's unattached = no husband to come kick his worthless azz.

What a coward.

Bill O’Reilly said 08/18, and I believe earlier, that Trump was beneficial to the Republican Party. I said that way back, right after Trump announced. I now think that the Trump tidal wave just might destroy the GOPe, along with the PC movement, the best of all possible results.
