Liberal Lunatic of the Day (3/7/2005)

Liberal Lunacy ^ | 3/7/2005 | Beckwith

[Beckwith]

Nancy Soderberg, a Clinton aide and senior foreign policy advisor to Senator Edward M. Kennedy, recently appeared on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" and exposed, in the clearest of terms, what Democrats are thinking.

Soderberg, who was promoting her book, "The Superpower Myth: The Use and Misuse of American Might", was describing the premise of her book by saying, "What I argue is that the Bush administration fell hostage to the superpower myth, believing that because we're the most powerful nation on earth, we were all-powerful, could bend the world to our will and not have to worry about the rest of the world. I think what they're finding in the second term is, it's a little bit harder than that, and reality has an annoying way of intruding."

Stewart interrupted her pitch by asking, "But what do you make of--here's my dilemma, if you will. I don't care for the way these guys conduct themselves--and this is just you and I talking, no cameras here [audience laughter]. But boy, when you see the Lebanese take to the streets and all that, and you go, "Oh my God, this is working," and I begin to wonder, is it--is the way that they handled it really--it's sort of like, "Uh, OK, my daddy hits me, but look how tough I'm getting." You know what I mean? Like, you don't like the method, but maybe--wrong analogy, is that, uh?"

Clearly, knocked off stride, Soderberg responded with the following: "Well, I think, you know, as a Democrat, you don't want anything nice to happen to the Republicans, and you don't want them to have progress. But as an American, you hope good things would happen. I think the way to look at it is, they can't credit for every good thing that happens, but they need to be able to manage it. I think what's happening in Lebanon is great, but it's not necessarily directly related to the fact that we went into Iraq militarily."

With Stewart cutting in to her comments, Soderberg went on to say, "These guys could really pull off a whole -- series of Nobel Peace Prizes here, which -- it may well work. I think that, um, it's -- It's scary for Democrats, I have to say."

Then, when Stewart started comparing Bush to Reagan, Soderberg said, "Well, there's still Iran and North Korea, don't forget. There's hope for the rest of us. There's always hope that this might not work."

She also admitted repeatedly that Democrats are hoping for American failure in the Middle East.

Cutting through the noise, the substance of Soderber's remarks clearly are “The Democrats are very upset that things seem to be going well for the Bush administration. But, these few successes can't be credited to President Bush. He can still screw up and we Democrats can still blame him for any failures. We just have to work hard to make him fail or, at least, make it look like he’s failed.”

There you have it. The Democrats wish Bush to fail, even though a failure for Bush is a failure for the country.  In the clearest of terms, Soderberg declares that the Democratic party is so full of hate for Bush that they would rather see the United States suffer a military and political disaster than see President Bush's policies successful.

By the way, this exchange, was only reported by OpinionJournal.com, the Washington Times and Rush Limbaugh.

"...We just have to work hard to make him fail or, at least, make it look like he’s failed.”

Bingo. It's amazing the number of lefties jumping in front of the parade these days--I guess they learned well from their mentor, Der Slickmeister.

Expect more thunder-stealing by the left as the ME reforms before our eyes. Remember all those lefty congresscritters voting for the war in Iraq yet fought for the terrorists all through the war? Don't be surprised when they wave the flag in their '06 campaigns and claim victory in the ME.

"Well, there's still Iran and North Korea, don't forget. There's hope for the rest of us. There's always hope that this might not work."

WTF!!!???

[Capagrl]

OMG. I knew they were whackos, I knew their hatred ran deep, but this is scary in terms I could never have fathomed! No wonder this party is so full of venom - they're willing to sacrifice the good of EVERYONE because they (boo freakin' hoo) didn't get their way. What a bunch of spoiled, immature, crybaby, ignorant, UNCARING jerks!!

c. Soderberg.

LOL!!

[cweese]

Words fail me. The only thing I can think of with regards to this woman rhymes with runt.

[gpapa]

"superpower myth"

And the recent progress in the ME is a myth? It's all Bush's fault of course.

Get a life Demos! We are a superpower. "Reality" has a way of "annoying" Demos whose words do not match their actions.

Bush III in '08.

"Words fail me. The only thing I can think of with regards to this woman rhymes with runt."

Let's not go there with the name calling. Instead just recognize that she has just let the truth about the national leaders of the Democratic Party out for all of us to hear. Nancy Soderberg has just performed a great public service. The fact that the MSM is pretending this never happened is even better than having the benefit of the "fly on the wall". Let the Dems make themselves look small without any help.

[cweese]

Who is name calling?

[Ticonderoga34]

Rush has been saying for quite awhile that liberals want America to fail so that they can reacquire power. This woman was stupid enough to say it out loud in public and on T.V.

Her mindset just sickens me. Unfortunately I bet many Democrats share her view.

She has the timing of Algore.

"What I argue is that the Bush administration fell hostage to the superpower myth, believing that because we're the most powerful nation on earth, we were all-powerful, could bend the world to our will and not have to worry about the rest of the world.

She begins with a false premise. I believe the Bush administration would say that because we are the only superpower we have a responsibility to use that for the betterment of the world. She almost certainly would disagree with the application, but she doesn't even understand the issue.

I think what's happening in Lebanon is great, but it's not necessarily directly related to the fact that we went into Iraq militarily."

Now there's a solid case of denial of the clear facts.

Then, when Stewart started comparing Bush to Reagan, Soderberg said, "Well, there's still Iran and North Korea, don't forget. There's hope for the rest of us. There's always hope that this might not work."

The evil inherent within the democrat party on clear display here.

[Andrewksu]

I told you, straight from the horses mouth, and I bet the rest of the democrats have the same thoughts, they are just smart enough not to blurt it out on TV, directly atleast.

[rdcorso]

I'm glad that she was dumb enough to say out loud that the democrats care more about regaining power than they do about the welfare of this country.This has been obvious to many Americans and hopefully even more will see them as the traitors they are after her admission.Where's McCarthy when you need him?

[cweese]

Yup, it was indeed a telling sign. I'm glad they're not suppressing their thoughts anymore. That will help our side continue winning elections (and increasing congrssional representation in both houses)!
