One of the biggest DUmmie political heroes has been Paul Hackett who in his Ohio Congressional race last year went to leftist extremes nationally in his bid nationally. Of course, locally, Hackett pretended that he was practically had the endorsement of George W. Bush. Nevertheless, he earned the proper leftist credentials to earn the support of the DUmmies in his bid for the Senate from Ohio. So what happened? He was FORCED out of the race by the Democrat leaders thus causing gthe DUmmies to go BERSERK as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Democratic Party? F*ck you bastards. You went too far. (Paul Hackett)." So sit back and enjoy the stabbed in the back DUmmie firework explosions in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching the action from the safety of a Texas Duck Blind with Dick Cheney, is in the [brackets]:
Democratic Party? F*ck you bastards. You went too far. (Paul Hackett)
[Just eliminate the "Paul Hackett" and you have the PERFECT thread title for when Hillary is selected by the Democrat bigwigs as your nominee in 2008.]

Popular Ohio Democrat Drops Out of Race, and Perhaps Politics
Published: February 14, 2006
Paul Hackett, an Iraq war veteran and popular Democratic candidate in Ohio's closely watched Senate contest, said yesterday that he was dropping out of the race and leaving politics altogether as a result of pressure from party leaders.
Mr. Hackett said Senators Charles E. Schumer of New York and Harry Reid of Nevada, the same party leaders who he said persuaded him last August to enter the Senate race, had pushed him to step aside so that Representative Sherrod Brown, a longtime member of Congress, could take on Senator Mike DeWine, the Republican incumbent.
Mr. Hackett staged a surprisingly strong Congressional run last year in an overwhelmingly Republican district and gained national prominence for his scathing criticism of the Bush administration's handling of the Iraq War. It was his performance in the Congressional race that led party leaders to recruit him for the Senate race.
But for the last two weeks, he said, state and national Democratic Party leaders have urged him to drop his Senate campaign and again run for Congress.
"This is an extremely disappointing decision that I feel has been forced on me," said Mr. Hackett, whose announcement comes two days before the state's filing deadline for candidates. He said he was outraged to learn that party leaders were calling his donors and asking them to stop giving and said he would not enter the Second District Congressional race.
This has broken a straw with me. They are so eager to appease polls and centrists that they give up any semblance of party loyalty and integrity.
I am sick.
[ANOTHER DUmmie hero stabbed in the back by the Democrats. Get used to the BETRAYALS, DUmmies.]
ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME? Is this a spoof? Oh, please tell me it's a spoof. Please. Paul Hackett's terrific. He'd be a brave, great Senator. Those filthy f*cks. They're such weasel losers.
[It's no joke but it is causing a lot of LAUGHS.]
Hell, like you or me could make a difference in this election anyway!
[Give up...NOW!]
I'm from Wisconsin, but I am willing to do whatever I can to see HACKETT STAY IN POLITICS!
[Maybe if you offer him a Wisconsin cheese that could change his mind.]
Mark my words.. Brown will not carry Ohio.
[Finally. A DUmmie prediction that I actually agree with!]
then why not let him lose in the primary? Instead there has to be this weird, loud campaign to force him out that serves only to highlight the Dems' internal divisions.
[Hey! I thought the Democrats were the PARTY OF THE PEOPLE? And yet the party bigwigs forced out a popular (with DUmmies) candidate.]
I'm really pissed off about this.. I grew up in Ohio, and all of my family still lives there.. They are rabid pukes, but they loved Hackett.. No disrespect to Brown, but there is no way that he can carry the state.. It will never happen.. Hackett was the only shot, and our leadership basically ran him off.. Why run the only guy with a shot at winning off?? That's what I don't get.. Hackett was doing great and still had time to go.. Plus he appealed to both sides of the fence.. I just don't get it.. Unless they actually want us to lose, I don't "get" the plan..
[Please send your "Thank You" notes to Dingy Harry and Chuck the Shmuck.]
They wanted a candidate they could control. As an Ohioan, I just sent a nasty email letting them know they just lost two lifetime, contributing Dems who had put in many hours in the past to get out the vote (I organized a Dem club for my suburb, which at the height of the campaign in 04 had 300+ volunteers working to GOTV. Thanks to these f-heads, Ohio will retain Dewine as it's Senator. Brown is seen, and hardly known, as a northern liberal. Hackett was proven to take votes away from Repubs in the heavy Repub 02 District. This is further proof that the DLC is NOT looking out for their base.
[I bet in reply to your e-mail, you received a fund raising form letter.]
But this sabotage of Hackett? This goes beyond ineffectual, and ends up in Self-Destruct Land.
[aka IMPLOSION.]
This kind of disloyal and short-sighted thinking is why the Republicans will win in November and keep control of Congress. Mark my words. The Democrats are clearly "not getting it."
[All is going according to the Perfect Rovian Plan.]
Goddamn those f*cking assholes. The first candidate with brains and balls and these shitheels run him off. If I were one of the Iraq vet house candidates I'd have to give it a second thought if this is the kind of support I could expect from the party "leaders".
[At least Dingy Harry had a mild smirk on his face when he plunged the dagger into Hackett's back.]
THE DCCC OR WHOEVER DOESN'T SPEAK FOR THE PARTY!! WE are the f*cking party and we have to let Paul know that WE want him to run!!
[THIRD PARTY! THIRD PARTY!]
F*ck this f*cking loser party I am SICK OF THEM!
[A DNC fund raising form letter is in the mail to you.]
Learn about the guy before you leap to conclusions. Brown is a Progressive Democrats of America candidate. He's a good Democrat.
[Uh-Oh! That was none other than Pied Piper Pitt chiming in and hoping to get some sort of $$$ contract from the DNC by blantant pandering to their interests. Oh, and a disclaimer: William Rivers Pitt NEVER EVER had personal contact with the A.N.S.W.E.R. comrades while organizing the September rally in D.C. even though his PDA organization worked closely with A.N.S.W.E.R. in organizing that event. Pied Piper Pitt was able to maintain his virginal purity from being infected by the A.N.S.W.E.R. microbes by hermetically sealing himself off from them with a giant body condom.]
Sorry, Will - but Hackett was the whole package. Brown is going to have to work his ass off just to build up the momentum that Hackett already had. We're getting rather sick of this whole "bait-and-switch" thing.
[Uh-Oh! A DUmmie isn't buying into Pied Piper Pitt's Pandering Performance.]
Brown has won an election or two already. I'd love to see hackett in the House.
[Pitt replies and hopes the DNC takes notice of his blatant pandering act.]
The vichy democrats in congress have won again. This is beyond sickening.
["Vichy Democrats." Must file that term away for future use.]
This is going to backfire on Brown. Had to go running to the party bigwigs to take out Hackett. And the allegation that the Democratic Party phoned Hackett supporters and told them not to give to Hackett; this is not good. Makes Brown look weak.
[The Vichy Democrats win again!]
Do you f*cking KNOW anything about Brown? We'd be damned lucky to have 100 Senators just like him. This is when I love DU. Getting pissed for the sake of getting pissed, and be damned to facts.
[There is Pied Piper Pitt again pandering for the DNC. Don't worry Pitt. The DNC is taking note and will send your $$$ contract via a schoolgirl courier.]
I'm sorry, I forgot the MAYBE part with that. Maybe we'll get Brown. You know we would have had Hackett.And I think this is perhaps the 50th time you made this amazing "point," Will- as if that makes it okay for our Democratic leaders to be choosing who we get to vote for.
[What's the matter? Don't you appreciate Pied Piper Pitt pandering for the DNC? He needs a $$$ contract with them. Or maybe he can volunteer as Paul Hackett's press secretary while really working for Sherrod Brown.]
As someone else indicated part of the getting pissed is over some assholes in DC putting in their effort into sinking a candidate in their own party behind the scenes.
[Say what you will about the Democrats, they did NOT sink this candidate behind the scenes. They stabbed him in the back in the full glare of the public spotlight.]
Whats Browns position on Election Fraud? Will he speak up when diebold walks off with his votes?
[Since Pied Piper Pitt is now acting as Brown's unofficial spokesman, let him answer your question in detail...]
Why don't you go find out?
[Thank you for that bit of "enlightenment," Pitt.]
You seem to be the Brown spokesman. I thought you might know.
[And this DUmmie WINS a Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity where he became aware of Pied Piper Pitt's blatant DNC pandering.]
Okay, Will, Brown has your stamp of approval. That carries some weight with me. But, honestly, I'd really like some members of the party "in crowd" to 'splain what, precisely, the PROBLEM was with Hackett, when he was doing such a damn fine job of inspiring folks such as myself.
[Let's let Pied Piper Pitt pretend that he is a member of the party "in crowd" and answer your question.]
OK
He was way behind Brown in the polls.
He had 1/10th of the money Brown had.
He wasn't going to win, and both would have been damaged by a primary fight.
This is politics, folks. Bring a helmet.
[Thank you, Pied Piper Pitt, for pretending that you are a Democrat insider.]
The problems is that they encouraged Hackett to run and then pulled the rug out from under him. That's the kind of bullshit that has damned near ruined this party completely.
[Another defiant DUmmie reply to Pied Piper Pitt.]
I've been very patient with Harry Reid who has done some good things. I had hope for him as a fighter on our side. But if the NYT article is correct, this tears it for me with him and the fucking retarded Dem leadership. It's not just about how progressive Brown is or Hackett is not. It's not just about how much money Brown has or Hackett does not. It's about what one will stand up for. The reasons I look down on Brown for entering the way he did are the same reasons I admire Hackett for leaving the way he did.
God help the whithering Democratic Party.
[Another DUmmie responds to Pied Piper Pitt's Pittiful Pandering Performance.]
You are COMPLETELY missing the point. WHY are the Dems undercutting Hackett??? He is a respectable person and he should be treated with RESPECT!!!! This undercutting of a good man is not a good precedent to set....
{A DUmmie UPRISING against Pitt's pandering.]
Yeah... I'm Thinkin About Registering Green This Week, And... the f*cking Democratic Party, my Party (straight ticket since 1974), can f*cking EARN MY VOTE FROM NOW F*CKING ON!!! F*CK!!!
[Hmmm... Paul Hackett as the Green Senatorial candidate from Ohio? I LIKE it!!!]
If this isn't proof positive that the DLC leadership are complete F*CKING ASSWITTAGE DIPSHITS I don't know what is. That lawyer dude isn't the only thing that got shot by an asshole this week.... DLCers just shot the PARTY IN THE COLLECTIVE FOOT WITH THIS HAM-FISTED F*CK-UP
[On the positive side, this did give Pied Piper Pitt the opportunity to GRANDSTAND for the DNC in the hopes of earning a $$$ contract from them.]
We need another party to take back America to make it "We the people" again, instead of "We the corporate elite" that it's become!
[The Socialist Workers Party welcomes you!]
This Party is so f*cked up. Reid and Schumer and Hillary and most of the Dems in Congress are chickenshits and GOP Lite to boot.
[Pied Piper Pitt is sad that you left HIM off that list.]
Men would vote for a man named Paul Hackett not someone named Sherrod
[His friends call him Sherrie.]
I'd like for Hackett to run as an Independent, f*ck the party machinations and apparatus - if there is ground swell support for Hackett - he can scramble and pull together grassroots volunteer organization to get behind him, maybe even Independent Greens and Progressive Democrats like local PDA chapter people, maybe he can win without these fucking bastards. By the way, PDA supports Progressive candidates, whether they are in the Democratic party, Green party or Indendepent.
[Don't count on the PDA supporting Hackett. Remember that Pied Piper Pitt is the Big Wheel in the PDA and Pitt, as we have seen on this thread, is pandering for DNC support.]
Were Schumer and Reid contacting the people with big purses, business types that may need favors from a future Democratic majority in Congress? So by not supporting Hackett, they are securing future political favors?
[Good question. Maybe you should ask it of Pied Piper Pitt since he is now acting as their spokeman.]
Hackett is the only candidate I donated to. I'm finished now. No more $$$
[Paul Hackett is just $10 away from running as a third party candidate.]
We are fighting against a party rife with corruption. We beg and plead for men and women of ethics to step forward and fight on our behalf. We're dying for our Senators and House Reps to speak truth to power, and then when we find someone who does that, the leadership tells them "You need to step aside. We have other plans..."
[Pied Piper Pitt has your back.]
The level of DUmmie frustration might be better represented by the Rambo Cat.
Sounds familiar...
I was wondering about that word, too.
Considering that the tpoic of discussion is in-fighting among the Democrats, I'd have to agree.
When I first read that sentence in the original post I thought that was what the DUmmie meant. I should have known right away that a DUmmie would never allow himself to admit that his party is so corrupt it makes Arafat's old party look honest by comparison.
He's in the bungalow with Marisa Miller and a bottle of Flor de Cana and is not to be disturbed.
I'm sure you meant to say "eunuchs" instead of "males". I know how easy it is to make those typos, I make them myself all the time.
Yeah, I'm guessing you mean the gesture I see other drivers making in my direction whenever I drive in Atlanta rush hour traffic.
I used to think they were trying to tell me how much they admired my lane changing technique, but now I'm beginning to think they mean something else or they wouldn't be so red in the face when the make it.
Yes, thanks for the correction.
Isn't it wonderful to see these nuts whining about the loss of their Golden Boy who gives every appearance of being a sleazy ahole. As soon as I saw him I knew he was a lawyer.
Good find on just how much Hackett raised compared to Brown. Your find pretty much bitch-slapped Pied Piper Pitt in the face with his statement that Hackett only raised 1/10 of what Brown did in funds.
Link?
Amazing these people call themselves "progressives" but are still using the same cute little slogans they've been using for the past 40 years. But then their policies haven't changed either. Kind of like the bag of cat food I just bought that says: "NEW package! SAME great product!" At least Friskies admit when they've only changed the outside...DUmmies even try to delude themselves that they're "New and Improved! Now with more Fish Flavor!" on the inside. Losers!
As for Hackett getting stabbed in the back? He had 1/10th of the money Brown had. There was no way he would have survived a primary with Brown, and if he had, he'd have been flat broke. DeWine wins in a walk.
As for that goodbye letter he wrote, it turned my stomach a little bit. Politics is rough, Mr. Hackett. Bring a helmet. This take-my-ball-and-go-home crap makes me more than a little relieved he is out of the race. If I get flamed for that, so be it.
Of course, Pitt is LYING again about Hackett having only a tenth of the funds that Brown did when in fact Hackett had MORE money than Brown.
that's an accurate description if I ever saw one... oh wait, the DUnghill dwellers meant something else that I would take it to mean... oh well :-)
Don't you know they belieeeeve(!) when their party lies and cheats it's for the "greater good"!
Cindie
Can we now say the Dems hate the troops because they forced him out. God knows they'd be saying it about us.
That's the spirit young DUmmies, you can wait until the Ohio general election then write dear Paul into the ballot. Don't let the ...(cough) leadership... push you around!
