Long Walk, Short Pier

When asked whether or not she thought President Obama was born in this country, Liz Cheney (daughter of Dick), said the following on a recent edition of Larry King live.

I think the Democrats have got more crazies than the Republicans do. But setting that aside, one of the reasons you see people so concerned about this, I think this issue is, people are uncomfortable with having for the first time ever, I think, a president who seems so reluctant to defend the nation overseas.

First of all, Liz, FUCK YOU! I have pretty much had it with ass hats like yourself who think that being a Democrat means that you don't want to defend this country. Tell that to Tammy Duckworth, Paul Hackett or Ben Busch or the THOUSANDS of other Democrats who have fought and, in Duckworth's case, lost their limbs for this country.

And if President Obama is so reluctant to defend this country, why is he sending more troops to AfPak and adding 22K to the army? Why did he keep Robert Gates as SecDef? Why did he add a 40 year marine veteran (James Jones) as his National Security Advisor? Why is chucking the F-22, a cold war relic, in favor of the F-35 which is more adept at...well...bombing terrorist hideouts? Why is keeping many of the programs your father put in place?

Oh, and you're not-so-clever marrying of the birth certificate issue (see: weird fi'rner and not white) to the defense of this country is straight out of Joseph Goebbels playbook...proving my point once again that your father (and you, apparently) as well as others on the right are the ones that are more like fascists than Goldberg's psychotic fantasy.

Finally, Democrats have more crazies than Republicans? Where? The whole fucking Republican base (15-20 million people) are nutjobs. One of them has his own radio show which nets that many listeners.

By all means, though, get out their on TV on share your views to the ever growing group of voters who you continue to alienate every day with the "New Psychosis" of the conservative base. Meanwhile, we'll be over here defending this country so you can have a platform to be a brainwashed moron.

Ah, the glory of Mark. Great rant, dude. I love getting hard at mid day.

"Defend the nation overseas" is Republican code for "impose American imperialism on wogs and take whatever we damn well please." It means insulting anyone with a funny accent. It means distrusting anyone who isn't lily white. It means never apologizing for mistakes our predecessors made, or even acknowledging that they were mistakes. It means demonizing foreign and domestic enemies at every turn, and never, ever acknowledging that they are normal human beings with needs just like anyone else.

This isn't a Republican thing. It's the standard operating model for any demagogue. It's what Ahmedinijad does, what Chavez does, what Al Qaeda does, what Hitler and Stalin did.

There are Republicans who don't think this way. Most of them are in hiding now, because they don't want that shiv stuck in their backs.

Without a doubt, very true, blk. So why doesn't your garden variety conservative admit how insane their party has become? Is it just hubris or do they secretly agree with the demagogues?

sw said...

your guy is in power now. why are you all still so angry? why do you guys have so much to vent about when you are in power? me thinks you folks are just angry people to begin with. doesn't obama have a majority in both the house and the senate? why isnt your health care bill being passed then?

Yeah, sw, you kinda get the idea that these folks run on anger. Must be why they see so much anger on the other side - it is the reflection of themselves.

Yeah, hold me back from the left wing anger that we see in this video.

I find it laughable that you guys think that the left runs on anger. Physician heal thyself. The right is one big pit of anger and this video along with the screams of Rush Limbaugh every day feed the anger and rage of the right proving Mark right time and again.

I love the no win situation of the left here. Defend yourself and you are angry. Do nothing and you are weak. You guys are priceless.

juris imprudent said...

Physician heal thyself is exactly MY point. There was no particular expression of outrage in Liz Cheney's comment. Stupidity, yes - anger, no. But look at M's reaction to that. You gonna tell me that ain't rage?

Which is only amusing because he screams so loudly about THE OTHER GUYS being the angry ones.

It's just another way of expressing tribal identity. It is what the loudest (and stupidest) of both wings do. And you wonder why those of us who don't have that tribal loyalty look upon that with something ranging between bemusement and disgust?

Obviously you don't listen to Rush Limbaugh.
