Let's cut to the chase. These "low intellect wingnuts" you see on TV? They're smarter than you. You may see them as knuckle-dragging Cro-Magnons. But you have the White House and both Houses of Congress. And they can still get anyone fired anytime they want. Say bye-bye, Van Jones. All R Bases R Belong to Them. Bill O'Reilly shut down Olbermann. Rush Limbaugh shut down Michael Steele, Glen Beck shut down ColorForChange and Van Jones. Public option? Forget it. It's been given away. Your needs don't matter. Glen Beck's matter. Michelle Bachman's matter. Big PhRMA's matter. You, as Rahm told you a few weeks ago, need to "STFU" and get to the back of the chow line. Next time he'll tell you what that acronym means. Like he told Van Jones.
This is a government that signals defeat. "Sit down with no pre-conditions." Did you think Obama was talking about Iran? No, that was about talking to Republicans. And sure enough, they can go all ape-sh*t and he'll still negotiate with them.
So knowing this President only responds to threats, to bully tactics, to unhinged behavior, time to start threatening. I think an "Al Franken-Van Jones" ticket for 2012 sounds pretty nice - I hear first term Senators can get elected Prez these days. I think a well funded anti-Blue Dog movement for 2010 sounds nice. No liberals to run against Blue Dogs? Fund the Republican. Let the Blue Dogs come whimpering to you.
Remember when Congress censured Move On for expressing its written opinion in public - not comparing Bush to Hitler, mind you - for using a play on words, "Betray Us" for Petraeus. Well, we're still in Iraq, that's for sure, even upped the ante with Afghanistan. Even with a Democratic President. Fool me once, shame on you...
BetrayUs holds the cards - we can't even make fun of his name. And now Van Jones has been pushed aside for calling Republicans "@$$holes". Oh my. They spend the summer shutting down public debate on health care, and a simple curse word is beyond the pale? Unlike those allowed Bush, Cheney, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Beck and scads more? (Even Rahm talking to Progressives?)
Face it. Any bill that comes out of this process is going to have the consistency of a warm bag of spit or a discarded condom. You can push back - it'll be hard, Obama dismantled the roots organizations, but you can still do it. Fight for the little things, build it up slowly, then once we're back in the game, we can talk about serious policy, some real bones with meat tossed our way. But for now, let's say "Bring Back Van Jones". Simple enough, 4 words, single syllables, fits on a placard, hard to misinterpret, shove it up Beck's @$$. Because it's either his @$$ or ours, and I like my sex consensual.
Too many times I've thought of things Obama could say. "Van Jones is out there fighting for millions locked up in our rush to control crime, trying to help out the underprivileged caught in a bad jam, locked up more for lack of opportunity and poverty and bad public policy than any bad intent. Van Jones is out there fighting for green jobs that will make our planet healthier. I know I've watched the protests over the last 8 months and questioned a few people's sanity, and I questioned the wisdom of our rush to war back in 2003, so I'm certainly not going to toss out a good man giving his life, long hard work, to good causes just because of a cuss word or some doubt about people's competence in the worst security breakdown in US history."
But Obama didn't say that. I did. I keep waiting for those supposed words of wisdom. Obama said, "mush mush mushie kow tow kow tow thankee thankee thankee". And once you get used to eating sh*t, it's hard to shake your fondness for the taste.
Thanks, but no thanks - time for a new course - non-cooperation, resistance, build back the spine. Reinstate Van Jones. We'll discuss the next step afterwards. But better to be dishing it out than to be on the ugly side of the feeding trough.
PS - inspired by a bunch of Jane Hamsher writing of late, including this one on the veal pen.
BTW, ever read a leftist blogger that doesn't have a potty mouth? Me, either.
What the heck is this clown whining about? They still have the race card. That’s the mother of all trump cards. Even whitey can play it against conservatives now.
I agree, this is an odious man.
Wake up! This man is odious and repugnant” 0bama is evil!
These guys are scary nuts.
Its gotta be syphilis.Nothing else comes close.
Could be. He likes his sex consensual.
We’ve got two choices here. 1. He has no clue Jones is a communist America-hating lunatic or 2. He’s so drunk on koolaide that he thinks the American people really wouldn’t care that Jones is a communist America-hating lunatic.
"and I like my sex consensual"
The way I understand the law:
sheep can't give consent and silence is not consent.
Just wanted to clear up any misconception
Nice find, Vet. :)
Don’t know how you have the time to find so much good stuff, but I appreciate it.
So the “nutroots” are turning on The One.
Delicious :)
Their language is as coarse as they are in comportment.
I thought Big Pharma was on their side??
...sheep can’t give consent and silence is not consent...
Now THAT is O.M.G. funny!
They are... I guess this guy's "super secret de-coder ring" malfunctioned...
the infowarrior
No courage to use its real name, just “Desidero” ?
