Dems' new excuse

NY Post ^ | September 25, 2010 | Jacob Sullum

Same old story: The Dems play the blame and shame game, and the Republicans let them.

[arista]

Their logic: I don’t like the bad things people are saying about me, so let’s take away people’s free speech rights.

[y6162]

There is only one person to blame for the Democrats demise: Nancy Pelosi.

[Pollster1]

They’re right in the sense that without free speech, the ruling class Dems could control the little people much more effectively.

[BelegStrongbow]

You must have missed the clip from CNN showing Paul Ryan pointing out that it is impossible to have an adult discussion if a Democrat is present. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz wasn’t even mature enough to clearly appreciate what he was saying and certainly too slow mentally to be able to respond with anything more lucid than mendacity and false charges.

Wolf Blitzer didn’t really get it either. I’m not sure either of them even really heard what Paul said, though he said it twice.

[Red_Devil 232]

Do know where or if that clip can be found? I would love to see it.

[Thermalseeker]

It's all because of Citizens United.

When the facts aren't on your side, throw up a straw man to blame and distract.....man, is this never ending crap getting tiresome.....

[Jess Kitting]

I never watch CNN, let alone Wolf Blitzer.

Glad to hear that Paul Ryan got his message on the air, twice. Even though the CNN folks weren't paying attention, perhaps some of their listeners (do they have any left?) were.

[Chode]

and the RATS, take another one in the..............................HA ha!!!

[Right Wing Assault]

what President Obama calls "shadowy groups with harmless-sounding names."

ACORN?

[Chi-townChief]

Doesn’t he mean Team Jackass??

[paddles]

How ‘bout, “CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS?”

[csmusaret]

I believe this graph better illustrates the true reason...

[csmusaret]

Or this one.....

[Right Wing Assault]

“People for the American Way” is another.

[aruanan]

Bump for later retrieval.

[aruanan]

while Dems are dispirited by the unpopularity of their party's policies.

Also because so many elected Democrats are just such smarmy pricks.

[meyer]

President Obama complained about "special interests using front groups with misleading names"

You mean like "ACORN","moveon.org", or "Democrat"?
