How to Enrage a Democrat

May 17, 2008

If nothing else, we now know what it takes to make a Democrat go nuts. One word: "appeasement."

Notwithstanding that President Bush named no names in his speech to Israel's Knesset on Thursday, Barack Obama instantly called it a "false political attack." On him, of course.

To House Speaker Nancy Pelosi it was "beneath the dignity of the office of the President."

"Offensive and outrageous," thundered Hillary Clinton from somewhere in South Dakota, followed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: "reckless and irresponsible."

When the party's top four Democrats come roaring out of the blocks in unison, something has hit a nerve.....

Did Pelosi make a comment on her trip to Syria and her meetings there?? I thought not. The Dems go nuclear when anyone tells the truth about them. They are going to fall apart before the November election

President Bush should denounce “dickless wonders who crap themselves in the face of any opposition and both look and smell like a baboon’s butt” and see if any Democrats get angry saying Bush was talking about them.—Frank J.

Yep. Shining the light of truth on Democrats is like shining a spotlight on a nest of cockroaches. Today's multiple tantrums demonstrates that perfectly.

What it takes to make a Democrat go nuts:

Is Bush an idiot? How come he controls the world?

How much do you pay in gas taxes? Where does oil come from and is it easy to get? How much does oil really cost to locate, drill, transport, refine and market? Do you use any product that is derived from petroleum?

“If the tempest over his indelicate words causes the Democratic presidential nominee to think twice about the political cost of trafficking with Tehran or Damascus, uttering “appeasement” will have been worth it.”

Dream on.

The President has been saying these same things for almost 8 years now. They just noticed?

I heard on Brian Sussman’s show that W was quoting a 2006 speech given by Don Rumsfeld - that American Senator in 1939 was an isolationist Republican senator, wishing he could have spoken to Hitler.

And W was talking about Carter.

I think Obama’s spring-loaded to take stuff like this personally. He is not a serious man.

I did that to a few of them today and it felt good to watch them flee like mice.

Truth is to a Liberal as Holy Water is to a Vampire.

Next, the President should talk about people who get attacked by rabbits while fishing.

Obama would go nuts. Pelosi would demand an apology, etc.

With the Ivy League education that BO has it is really hard to believe how politically stupid he is. To make an issue out of this when the president didn't even use his name is ridiculous.

It's also clear that when his teleprompter or cue cards are non existent he speaks like a bumbling idiot as he did today when taking questions.

Obama, Clinton, Pelosi and Reid are all nuts for making an issue of this, the president is right and the majority of people in our country know it.

When my oldest son was three he was in a private pre-school where the teachers “punished” kids who were “bad” by making them sit in the kitchen for 15 - 20 minutes, until they calmed down. One day I picked up my son and on the drive home I happened to ask him, “So, did you have to sit in the kitchen today?” He looked at me wide-eyed and replied, “No! I didn’t stick my tongue out at Joey!”

Today’s Democrat tantrums brought back that old memory. Bush simply stated long-held American policy and never even mentioned the Democrats or any individual Democrat by name, yet the Democrats “responded” en masse like three-year-olds, exclaiming, “I didn’t stick my tongue out at Joey!”

Obama and the rest of those morons are pathetic.
