Do we actually live in a democracy, Donna? I thought this was a republic.

The problem here is, Donna, you are not my friend with which I can have a reasonable discussion. You and those you support with your “fundamental transformation” have stepped outside the bounds where reasonable discussion may be held. We have a Constitution that has a process for making such transformations but your approach is one of who believes they were elected to “rule”, like your soul sister Valerie Jarrett. You are welcome to conduct your discussions in a DC echo chamber among the radicals there but most of us believe we have better ways to use our time to remove the likes of your fellow travelers from the body politic.

Obama and the democrats are solely responsible for the deep division in politics today. And Obama has personally thrown gas on the smoldering fire in pursuit of his own agenda, and the country be damned. If Obama continues with his malicious brand of politics, and ignoring the constitution, he will be the owner of any bloody conflicts, and will destroy the democrat party forever. Just as Hitler led the Germans to their destruction, and the renunciation of German nationalism forever. Obama’s reign will become the historical embarrassment and the very image of abomination, proving once again what can happen when the people allow themselves to be led astray by electing a lying, evil person, hell bent on destruction. If there was a son of the devil, Obama would be him.

Donna Brazile: We're pointing a gun at our democracy

That sounds pretty hypocritical coming from a socialist, Donna.

Let me take a stab at capsulizing your argument, Donna.
When it is a Democrat generated scandal let’s just skip to
the solution portion of the issue. When we are talking about
a Republican generated scandal let’s investigate it until the
cows come home and cast the widest possible net over the
suspects. When that is done we can execute all of the offenders.

This road we're on will lead us step-by-step to an extreme: either an autocratic government that functions, or a dysfunctional anarchy. The petty squabbles, bilge in the name of party or principle, will dissolve our self-government.

Why choose just one. The Obama path seems to be autocratic anarchy. The trains won't run on time, but anyone can get the midnight knock on the door.

When you’re dead wrong, play the civility and/or racism card.

First, can you imagine Donna saying something remotely like this if these scandals occurred under a Republican administration?! Secondly ....

The director who oversaw this was a Bush appointee ....

Good grief?! Going to this well again?! It's Bush's fault?! EPIC FAIL!!!

For your education Donna, here's where it ALL started ...

I know it must be upsetting to find out that 0bama is a crook, Donna. So let's just forget the whole thing and everybody will be happy, right?

Except if you happen to be left to die defending a burning embassy facility, that is, but then that's just a bump in the road, right? Or you're a reporter silly enough to think that your phone records are private, but that's only a few people, right?

And then there is the difficulty that if you happen to be a member of the political opposition facing IRS harassment and potential prison at the hands of a hostile and corrupt government, you might not be in quite such a forgiving mood. Yes, Donna, there's a gun pointed at us and your government is holding it.

The director who oversaw this was a Bush appointee who was confirmed by a Democratic Congress.....

it is uncertain how much the director oversaw. It looks like the directive was pushed down by Obama via the IRS union chief, bypassing the official managerial structure.

Donna Brazile: We're pointing a gun at our democracy

Donna, we are a republic. We have never been a democracy. By your statement, you reveal yourself to be an enemy of the republic.

So no, there will be no "reasoned discourse" between us. You are not my friend. You are my enemy.

Obama is involved in scandal upon scandal in which he is accused of tyranny yet if we the citizens act to investigate him we are pointing a gun at our democracy?

I think you have in backwards there, Donna.

Why do I get the notion that Donna thinks all this bickering, questioning and derision is coming from Republicans, and not—and never—from democrats?
