They get their perspective on the world from The O'Reilly Factor and from Stupid-borough Country, uh...Scarborough Country," she added, a reference to MSNBC's Scarborough Country, hosted by former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough.

Oh man...! How can we decent, working, traditional Americans hope to compete with the Democrats when they are possessed of such piercing wit?

[Lancey Howard]

Says it all. I want to push my radical agenda - comprised of the wackiest stuff I can imagine - through totally unopposed.

Check out the California threads, LOFL!!!
Imagine a nation patterned after California!

She was mentioned, so she needs a post.

no you're the poo poo head. I'm telling my mommy!

Bush is running "the most right wing administration in modern American history," according to Ralph Neas, president of People for the American Way. ......

..... "George W. Bush has pushed so many right wing proposals through Congress that many progressives have begun to despair," Hurd explained.

OK, have I missed some news. I mean I wish it were true but I am not sure when all this "right-wing" stuff happened.

If a pragmatic centrist like Bush is "an extreme right-winger" in their eyes, I shudder at what a "moderate" or even a leftist would look like. I am fairly sure it wouldn't be pretty.

If a $35 Billion (per year, forget this over ten years nonsense) tax-cut from a $2 TRILLION budget can be considered extreme I would hate to see a moderate tax-cut.
[a "moderate" tax-cut would be an increase in welfare, I guess]

Jeff Faux, distinguished fellow at the liberal Economic Policy Institute

Faux: \Faux\, n.; pl. Fauces. [L.] See Fauces. adj : 1) not genuine or real; being an imitation of the genuine article; "faux pearls"; "decorated with faux palm leaves"; "Jeff Faux, distinguished fellow." [syn: fake, false, imitation, simulated]

Campaign for America's Future, which states as its goal pushing the Democratic Party to the left.

To the left? I thought they were already a bunch of left wing, liberal socialist, pinko commies, and these slime bags want to push them further left?

But, he added: "The advantage of being a progressive is that you don't have to get drunk to make your speech."

People who call themselves progressive are inevitably Baby Boomers who think the Leftist mentality and political environment of 1973 is directly applicable in 2003. The political landscape is vastly different, of course, meaning they are more accurately regressive, meaning backwards-looking.

By definition, however, they cannot know this. Thus vintage 1973 progressivity is a self-reinforcing delusion.

Leftover Left Go Home!

"liberals can't stay on the air without government funding..."
Well, guess I gotta re-post this yet again...
Maybe one day one of the lurking libs will pass this info on to his higher-ups...

Large Democratic donors do not help fund the programs so they can grow and prosper. Democratic businesspeople do not advertise. Democratic officeholders do not help promote or fund the programs. Often Democratic officeholders do not even make themselves readily available as guests.
Senator Daschle’s office cancelled a half dozen scheduled appearances on Democratic Talk Radio.

Our program solicited donations in letters to every elected Democrat in the US Senate, Congress and state legislatures in Maryland and Tennessee. We did the same with almost every Democratic County Chair and included Nevada. We solicited every Democratic Governor and the leaders of a national railroad union. We received only one donation of $50.

You notice they don't mention that they have ABCBSNBCBCNNPRMSNBCCNBCBLOOMBERGUSATODAYNYTIMES, et. al. under their thumb. No, it's only Fox News and talk radio that gets their goat...

""George W. Bush, Tom DeLay, Bill Frist, Trent Lott, [John] Ashcroft - they are the schoolyard bullies, and what do we do with schoolyard bullies? We stand up to them, and we stand up to them and fight," Neas said.""

Gee, that's funny - I thought the way that libs dealt with schoolyard bullies was to chide them for their behavior then send them back to class unpunished! You know, that NEW public school discipline philosophy.. so effective.

If there were a lib president in office on 9/11, we'd still be at the negotiating table with Osama and Saddam, except we'd be wearing burqas by that point to show "respect for other religions and viewpoints."

I love to see them UNHINGED - It's sooooo gratifying.

"The advantage of being a progressive is that you don't have to get drunk to make your speech."

The disadvantage is you have to kneepad for the Clintons..

Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women, charged that "Rupert Murdoch [and his] cronies" are "stifling our messages and keep our messages from being heard, and when we get them out, they are drowned in a sea of lies."

Dear Kim,

I think the CNS reporter must have misquoted you. "Laughs" is spelled l-a-u-g-h-s, not l-i-e-s.

"Too much material here" ping.

 

Too. Much. Material.

 

(Picture me rolling.)

[Stultis]

LOL! (Steamroller Bump!)

[Stultis]

I never have figured out exactly who this Mellon-Scaife guy is...I guess he's the rich guy who funds the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.....and now that I've said this publicly, I can expect a visit from the Wetworks Committee any moment.

You must have pissed somebody off, wimpycat. Even the newbies get Omaha steaks and Fruit-of-the-Month Club from dear Mellie. That's just the standard "Welcome Aboard" package.

I'm coming up on my third anniversary, so I had a list of gifts to select from. (I picked Baccarat. Stemware for 16, and a trip to Monte Carlo. :D)

HIAC, you really need to upgrade your membership to Vast Neo-Con Conspiracy (VNCC) status. You get all the same gift programs, but you can forgo them in exchange for "power points". Accumulate enough and you can redeem them for an ambassadorship to Monte Carlo.

"The advantage of being a progressive is that you don't have to get drunk to make your speech."

Only insane.

[Feiny]

I thought they may have been listening to your show!

[battlegearboat]

Am not. Stupid doo doo person. I'm telling on you! You better not tell your Mom or my Pop will beat up your old man! Ha Ha!

Something along these 'lines'?
