Time To Take The Dems Behind The Barn And Shoot Them



It happens all the time in movies. Really Bad Man talks Sort Of Bad Guy into fucking over his own friends. Sort Of Bad Guy does it because Really Bad Man is convincing and a little scary. So, Sort Of Bad Guy delivers his friends to Really Bad Man. Then Really Bad Man kills them and turns the gun on Sort Of Bad Guy.


    Sort Of Bad Guy
    But…but I helped you. I…I got you what you wanted.

    Really Bad Man
    You think I’d trust a guy who fucks over his friends?


Then Really Bad Man shoots Sort Of Bad Guy in the face. In this case, the Democrats are Sort Of Bad Guy and shooting them in the face seems like an okay idea.

I do not recall seeing, in my lifetime, a party so relentlessly pathetic as the current Democratic Party. Yesterday, I wrote about the Republican’s record-breaking filibuster festival. That sort of bullshit is to be expected from the Republicans, who have no concern about destroying America to get what they want. And the Democrats could do nothing to stop it. Yet, the Democrats don’t seem to realize that they should not actually help Republicans further their agenda. Yesterday, the Senate voted to condemn a MoveOn.org ad that criticized General Patreaus. In doing so, they spit in the faces of many who voted them into office.

Let me see if I can explain this to the Democrats: The Republicans have been trying to demonize MoveOn, but America just thinks it’s the usual partisan, left-right bullshit and doesn’t pay attention. Then you guys in the Senate vote to condemn MoveOn, which legitimizes the Republicans accusations. This is what’s known as a retarded move because, YOU DON’T VOTE AGAINST YOUR OWN BASE. It’s just at tip, you fucking idiots.

Voting to condemn the ad is voting to support the Republican agenda. It helps to justify Republican claims that MoveOn is a lunatic fringe group, which is an incredible exaggeration. Republicans fear MoveOn, because the group can quickly gather funds and attack Republican candidates anywhere in the nation. The right hates MoveOn because it is effective, not because it is a fringe group. Thankfully, Democrats just took a dump on the hand that feeds them. Nice work.

Harry Reid is a fucking idiot for allowing this vote onto the Senate floor. Yesterday the GOP stopped three important bills that the Democrats had put forward. Today, Dems should have told the GOP and their petty bill to go fuck themselves. Reid should have stopped the bill, then introduced several bills condemning Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh for their repeated hate speech. Or how about finally condemning the Swift Boat organization for making far worse allegations against John Kerry than MoveOn ever did against Patraeus? If Reid can allow himself to be manipulated and bullied by the minority party, he should step down. Immediately. Or at the very least, he should replace his picture on his Senate website with a douchebag.

The vote completely betrays the principle of the 1st amendment. We don’t give the Senate authority, salary, security, privilege and power so they can vote on what American citizens should and should not be saying. The ad said that if the General was not honest it would be a betrayal of the troops. How the fuck is that worthy of the Senate’s time? It’s called freedom, maybe these idiots should try to get an understanding of what it means.

In the end, what did the Democrats achieve by voting for this resolution? They insulted the people who worked so hard to get them into office in 2006. The let the left know that they are not entitled to the same free speech as the right wing and that if the Republicans pick on the Democratic base, their Senators will help to stick the knife in their gut.

See, the Democrats would rather go along with the bullshit than actually put up a fight. Better to fuck over the people who put you in office than show a little courage. And that is not just this vote, but everything. They rolled over when they were the minority party and now they are rolling over when they are the majority party. What was needed today was for one Democrat to stand up and say:


Hey, that ad was right. Patreaus’ report was a bucket load of bullshit and the lies need to stop.


But it won’t happen. Obama ran out the back door, like a coward. Hillary voted no.* All together, 25 Democrats voted to condemn a group that worked to get them elected. Could you envision the Republicans doing the same thing if the tables were turned? Yeah, me neither.

FearTheReaper just donated $100 to MoveOn. He's never given them money before, but it's the only way to appropriately respond to this idiocy.

I stopped reading your tripe here. This is not true, as much as you want it to be. Soros gave them a donation in their first year of existance and has not given money since.

Is it weird to be upset about a "propaganda machine" when you only get your news from other "propaganda machines?" You would have never made this statement if you read legitimate news sources. How is your massive hypocrisy going?

I think the condemnation was a good thing. Moveon fucking blew that one. General Petraeus was, in my opinion, at least partially a set up. You can say shit about Bush and get away with it, but talking shit about the military isn't looked upon kindly. Now, a person could very reasonably explain why Petraeus's report was not to be trusted without namecalling. You could say that it's wrong for the Bush administration to politicize General Petraeus like this. You could say that General Petraeus is a military man, and he knows what his superior officer wants from him. Any of these things are easy, and actually have entered the public discourse, but they are drowned out by General Betray-us. And now a lot of fence sitters are saying to themselves, "Well, look at the level of discourse on the Democratic side."

If I were to defend the ad, they'd have a point. The ad is fucking retarded. Betray-us. Congratulations on making a rhyme. Yes, there are valid points in the full text, about the cooked statistics and so on. But they made it so none of that matters; people aren't looking past the patently idiotic first line. I'm not saying they shouldn't, but whether or not they should look past the appearance is a moot point; people don't, and as long as they don't, that ad hurts the Democrats.



Your opinion could easily come out of the world's biggest pussy. I did not realize military members, whose job is to defend out country, could not take the brutal assualt of words. My God! We must save the soldier from words!

But you do make a good point, the General is such an incredible fucking pussy that he needs to be defended from words by Congress. Thankfully they are there, to take up this fight for him, because he is now in a closet, curled up in the fetal position crying like the bitch that he is. From words.

We should thank the likes of Rush, and Sean and Bill O, who would never say such things, for bringing this incredible outrage to our attention. Words are dangerous, that is why we have Congress.

But it's all sounds so innocent based on its statement of purpose:

To express the sense of the Senate that General David H. Petraeus, Commanding General, Multi-National Force-Iraq, deserves the full support of the Senate and strongly condemn personal attacks on the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all members of the United States Armed Forces.



Who could vote against that?

Unfortunately, neither of my Senators could. That's to be expected from Norm Coleman, a Republican and the person most likely person on the face of the earth to do something politically expedient for his own benefit.

Amy Klobuchar is a Democrat, though. So far I'm not impressed with her.Though this is her first term in office, and she's no doubt scared, confused, and easily intimidated.

Wow. I really can't understand what goes on in people's heads anymore. This is not only a violation of freedom of speech, which is purposely meant to protect contrary political opinion, but a downright stupid fucking move. The majority of this country is no longer in support of Bush's bullshit and to condemn something denouncing that very thing is a downright foolish political move. I wish we had some stronger people in the government on all sides to stand up and stop this kind of bullshit. I also wish the checks and balances of this country actually worked so that the Supreme Court would shit all over this for being the ridiculously unconstitutional abuse of power that it is. It's this kind of bullshit that really makes me sad I live in this fascist state trying to pretend it's a democracy.

In related news, Keith Olbermann is my new hero.

This was a slam dunk for the republicans, and one that the democrats just let happen while they sat on the bench, stoked to be in the game but perfectly willing to lose. I'm assuming, without researching it, that a republican introduced the bill. And it was a perfect piece of strategic legislation:

In order to vote against that, you'd have to rally the whole party together, vote "no," then go to the media and say, "This bill was bullshit. We don't hate the military, we hate ridiculous bullshit like this. Fuck off."

But, no. The democrats are too worried about keeping their seats and keeping their money, so instead of risking a few votes in order to do the right thing, they're rolling over whenever the republicans threaten them with stuff like this.

I was so excited when the majority in congress shifted. Now I'm just jaded again.

No one has violated the First Amendment. Moveon.org has neither been prevented from running the ad nor punished for doing so. The only thing that's different is that Congress now officially thinks that ad is mean.

I haven't seen or read the "article" from "moveon" so I wont judge it but evidently it was wrong enough to make congress condemn it. look for the truth, even if you wish it were true but it's not then call them on it.

Ummmm, so 23 fairly conservative Senators voted to support a field commander in a time of war. How shocking. Incidentally, Reid couldn't prevent the Amendment from coming to the floor, but hey why know the first thing about the way the Senate works before screeching about it every day.

I read that they did, but it was the rate that they offer 501 (c)(3)s, of which Move On is one.
