Profanity, Anger Spill Over in House Democratic Caucus Meeting
Rollcall.com ^ | December 9, 2010 | By Anna Palmer

Posted on 12/09/2010 3:44:35 PM PST by MissesBush

The frustration with President Barack Obama over his tax cut compromise was palpable and even profane at Thursday’s House Democratic Caucus meeting.

One unidentified lawmaker went so far as to mutter “f— the president” while Rep. Shelley Berkley was defending the package the president negotiated with Republicans. Berkley confirmed the incident, although she declined to name the specific lawmaker.

“It wasn’t loud,” the Nevada Democrat said. “It was just expressing frustration from a very frustrated Member.”

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.) was also overheard saying that “we can’t trust him” not to cave to Republicans and extend the tax cuts again in two years, according to a Democratic source.

The anger aimed at the bill was widespread. As Democrats moved to block the bill from coming up on the floor, chants of “Just say no!” could be heard by reporters outside the room.

These ARE NOT tax cuts. They are tax INCREASES.

It was Clair McCaskill who remarked at her health care reform townhall when everyone was booing and heckling her, "I don't understand this rudeness. I honestly don't get it."

Yes, it would have to be a junker before I'd put it on, but we *do* have one of those. :)

Randall Terry made up some poster when Obama was going to speak at Notre Dame, and we had one in our porch (using it for a protest), and after my brother saw it, I never again saw my brother. Little exaggeration, but not by much. A birth-family of Dems, they think I've lost my mind ...

My sentiments exactly. We need to turn up the heat on BO.

Contact your congressman, senators, County Sheriff, DA, State Legislators, Governor, and County Grand Jury Foreman and demand that they indict, prosecute, convict and imprison BO, Big Sis and all of their local co-conspirators for leaking information to WikiLeaks and all the other crimes: Voter Fraud, Identity Theft, Illegal Foreign Campaign Contributions, TSA Sexual Assaults, Embezzlement of Government funds etc.

Mark Levin: “The possibility of impeachment does not immunize the president from criminal prosecution. He remains, at all times, a citizen of the United States who is answerable to the law.”

If the House Rats allow taxes to increase by the greatest amount in U.S. history on 1/1/2011, then come 2012, we’ll see them lose another 63 House seats, 12 more Senate seats, another 658 state legislative seats, and another 16 governorships. Not only will taxes skyrocket, with the greatest increases on the lowest margins, but the economic shock will result in The Great Recession turning into The Great Depression of the Twenty First Century.

Oh, and if this is the way the House Rats behave now, I can’t wait to watch their heads explode come 1/1/2011! Talk about Rats behaving badly: they’re going to make Alan Grayson look like a statesman!

Spitting into the wind here, I know, but... The F-word and all its variants are not instances of profanity, because they are not insulting or demeaning anything sacred.

Instead, they're just plain vulgar.

Yeah, that's our zer0, the unificator in chief, bringing everyone together in love and friendship as he halts the rise in the seas and pays everyone from his stash, except those nasty rich, white people, of course.

Gee whiz, I’m so paranoid about the lying so-and-sos that I wonder if they’re doing this on purpose for some nefarious political reason.

They’re usually pretty good at presenting a united front, with their talking heads spewing the most ridiculous Kool-Ade. Their brainwashed minions drink it up, but anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows it’s all garbage.

This obscenity is a fitting punctuation mark to this soon-to-be-history 111th Congress.

Who said "f_ the president" in the Dem caucus? They are obviously trying to cover up for him, fearing that if named he could be tarred as a "racist."

I would suggest that the lame duck Alan Grayson would be one suspect, Barney Frank another.

Anyone with other "nominees"?

Jim Moran seems the natural choice. He is a racist.

The MSM is pretending they don’t know who said it, because there will be retribution against whomever it was, and their anointed one will have plausible denial that way.

If instead of this, the joker had said “you lie!” he or she would have been immediately identified and excoriated by everyone from the unelected partisan media shill caucus.

Nyah ha ha! Our vast conspiracy is working perfectly. Just plant someone in the Chicago machine who seems anathema to us, then rant and rave about him and question his birth certificate. In the interim, he implements nightmarish, horrible policies that bring the country to ruin, and cause the DOP to implode. Nyah ha ha! (rub hands together in wicked glee)

Wait a minute...country to ruin? Nooooooooo.........

How odd, they made out Joe Wilson’s voice crystal clear at the SOTU.
