The right's in-your-face obnoxiousness and need to portray Democrats as weak is classic phony bravado. Paging Freud.
Chris Christie roared onto the presidential campaign stage calling out his onetime pal, President Obama, for being “weak.” He labeled the economy as “weak,” U.S. foreign policy as “weak,” and the president’s style of governance as a “handwringing” incompetence. Christie’s theme is not just his, though; it seems to dominate the Republican candidates’ critique of any Democratic leader whose approach to the larger world refrains from their over-the-top bluster. The real question, though, is what makes the Republicans think theirs is the party of strength? What lies behind their in-your-face, Clint Eastwood-style American bravado?
For one, the macho pose ironically owes some of its inspiration to the famed breeder and hockey mom Sarah Palin, who adopted as her motto “going rogue,” which was actually a euphemism for departing from the facts. Now another untamed candidate, Donald Trump, sees nothing wrong in maligning a sizable percentage of Mexican immigrants as roving rapists; instead of recognizing his irresponsible comments for what they are, a certain slice of the Republican electorate has insisted that he was merely saying what others are thinking but haven’t the guts to voice publicly.
Guts? Another word for the wing-nut rhetorical method is “gall,” which in linguistic terms takes us even closer to the internal bitterness that oozes from angry mouths in the form of hypocritical taunts. Hispanic immigrant Ted Cruz is so viscerally troubled by the Hispanic immigrant problem that he must sound the alarm louder than his colleagues, who have less to prove on that score. Piyush “Bobby” Jindal, exudes a gargantuan impatience with all foreigners who refuse to shed their foreign skin....

Someone needs to introduce the authors to Amos Moses.
I am going to keep posting this until the message sinks in or I get booted off.
Trump and Christie definitely bluster, but hardly bully.
Cruz simply blows the competition away with logic and candor.
F*** salon.
They are becoming pathetically lame. It’s the same darn thing every time. Whatever...
Hardly what I’d call overcompensating.
The left considers telling the hard truth, overcompensating. At least in Trump and Cruz’s case, I have no idea wth they are talking about with the RINO Christie.
Wanna’ bet there’s a trapdoor in the back of his jammies?
These homos are just vile.
They look at us that way, not just Sarah Palin.
True
That, and Huffington Post and Business Insider.
“The real question, though, is what makes the Republicans think theirs is the party of strength?”
That’s actually a very good question. Another good one would be: “The real question, though, is what makes the Republicans think theirs is the party of fiscal responsibility and small government?”
I should never read this while drinking a soda...SPEW! And then nearly choked laughing. What a pile of steaming brown stuff.
Ted Cruz Ping! “EEEWWW!!, White males!! Some of them are actually refusing to submit to our fascist agenda. We can’t stand for this”, says neutered white male Andrew Burstein and feminist-revolutioinary Nancy Isenberg.
How in the check is Christie even in the same sentence as Cruz and Trump?
They do stretch it don’t they?
Cruz is of latino descent. These people are racist.
George Zimmerman was not only Hispanic but about 20% black. They don’t care.
That’s true. Compared to the milquetoasts they attempt to pass off as men, I guess Christie exudes too much testosterone to handle... :P
Yeah. Because they’re racists.
