Original article: Obama's hit -- and big miss

My God how I love wingnuts

What the hell are you gonna do when Obama gets re-elected by 20 points in 2012, and Hillary follows him into the White House after that? Bigger capital letters to yell louder about 'Muslim women' and socialism and 'too much spending' and whatever the hell else? You have nothing left. Nothing. Yelling and fulminating and sweating and bloviating. I love it. The 30-percenters ... headed for Goldwater II in 2012. Hey, maybe Jon Voight can be your nominee! He gave a boffo speech to a collection of you goofballs the other night. Obama the 'False Prophet.' Take a pill, Jon.

@Ellis Diablo

Wow! 'Forced' to buy insurance! You mean ... like we're 'forced' to buy car insurance if we own one? Dammit I'm mad now! I've had it up to here with these 'laws'! I'm gonna burn my insurance card right now, and squish a soggy tea bag on it to douse the embers! Somebody hits my car, I'm paying the eight grand for repairs myself, to strike a blow for FREEDOM!!!

Original article: Waiting for Obama

Damn that Obama and his lack of a magic wand

Sirota, you did us a favor at Kos by taking your ball and leaving. Can't you do the same elsewhere? I mean, WTF? Is he a king? Did we disband Congress? (Maybe we should, but I digress). It's freaking June of year one, and the sausage is being made. Give us a break. BTW, how about your hero Brian Schweitzer endorsing that man-of-the-people McAuliffe for VA governor? Any thoughts? Didn't think so.

Hey O-Man:

More LBJ, less Rodney King. And no, we can't all get along. Republicans are all corporate cabana boys; only about a third of Democrats are. Make it happen, man -- public option and the GOP goes extinct sooner.

How dare you? Oh yeah -- you're a wingnut

"The United States remains a center-right country composed of people who believe in center-right values, like family, hard work and honesty." Hey asshole ... and I mean that sincerely ... there are MILLIONS of us liberals out here who believe in the same. You have such freaking nerve it really astounds me.

Republicans have always been, are now, and will always be ...

Wildly full of shit on every single issue one cares to name. Decades of evidence prove it. Now they tell us, in the same breath, that 'socialized medicine' will be the death of us all, while warning against a public option that will be too popular for the poor insurance companies to compete against. If it would be so horrible, shouldn't they want to see it become law and then fail? Or do they know they are, yes, completely full of shit, since Medicare works, costs less than private insurance, and is as 'socialistic' as a program can be? If they believe so profoundly in their "principles," why have they never tried to repeal it? Why do they accept their Federal "socialistic" health coverage? Not one of them has ever rejected it, and none of them ever will. The GOP is owned-and-operated by corporate America; everyone knows it. Add in the 6 or 8 or 12 corporate whore Democratic Senators, and you see the problem. But at least it's just a percentage of towel boys in the Democratic party, while the GOP doesn't even pretend anymore.

Shorter Greenwald, Part MCMXVIII: Obama sucks

Give it a rest, Glenn. The Republicans are the enemy. Try to keep that in mind once in a while.

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 12:25 PM

there has to be a stronger word than 'hypocrisy'

To describe this parade of GOP family-values blowhards and loons. "Wide Stance" Craig, "Diaper Dave" Vitter, Jon "Clinton Should Resign" Ensign, now this pious joker. Any ideas, Irrelephantman?

Excellent satire! Send that one to the Onion!

"Dumbocrats ..." Stop. Just stop. Your cleverness really stings. Next you'll tell us we're all on "smellfare."

Original article: Gov. Giuliani?

Democrats MUST dump Paterson, and get Cuomo in there

My God ... Rudy Freaking Giuliani, Nosferatu himself, still undead even after his laughable, pathetic 'Presidential campaign.' America's Douchebag.

@underanothername

And if Al faces down the Republican elephant? He'll wrap him up in cellophant! (I watched 'The Wizard of Oz' tonight; it always sucks me in.) Thrash 'em from top to bottomus!

Original article: Sarah Palin, one tough mama

Stop, Amanda ... you're making me cry

But seriously: give us all a break. Palin is a carnival barker nitwit at best, a Northwoods grifter now set to fleece the rubes in the Lower 48. It seems like you'll be in that line. I and 80 percent of the country couldn't give two shits about her 'brood' and the outrageous slings and arrows she and they have supposedly faced. She carted that last kid around like a sack-of-potatoes political prop all last fall, so screw her. That's after flying 8,000 miles so she could have him in a better state for her PR campaign.

Original article: Sarah Palin, one tough mama

@readerreader

I have to ask: what the hell makes you tick with this woman? You seem like a smart guy; do you actually believe this unserious plucked-from-deserved obscurity raging phony is worthy of a national political following? Can you not see that she is set to embark on a moneymaking scheme that Wall Street banks would envy for its audacity and emptiness? Do you truly believe that even today's ridiculous GOP rump-party true-believers will hurtle over the cliff with this proven nincompoop as its Presidential nominee? And finally: do you believe God is enough of a Democrat to let that happen?

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 06:19 PM

Sarah the Grifter is incapable of the truth

It's really amazing. She'll get away with it because she's a Republican, but she carries the stench of absurdity wherever she goes. She's off to fleece the rubes in the Lower 48, and we gonna have to watch every woeful minute of it. She's a political vampire, and even if God loved me enough to have her (or Newt) be the nominee in 2012, the resulting 60-40 Obama win still wouldn't even faze her. She wouldn't even notice.

@ Old Joe

Amity Shlaes? Are you serious? The woman who wrote in July 2008 ... that's July 2008 ... that Phil "Nation of Whiners" Gramm was "right about the recession"? THAT Amity Shlaes? The only "serious doubt" about what FDR did is among economic flat-earthers. Give us a break.

Thursday, July 16, 2009 06:58 PM

That would be Linda Chavez ...

The scam-artist crook? Whose string of "political action" organizations -- basically, her family -- kept 90 percent of the donated money? Good to see the Elephantman tribe still lets bygones be bygones. What say you, Irrelephant One? What do you 30-percenters have for us today for your ridiculous slam of the 'Democrat Party'?
