We need more of this

Post by masteen »

Barney Frank be keepin it real yo.

I'm all for spirited political discussion, but the number of people coming to these meetings with absolutely no clue what the contents of these health care reform packages are is truly disheartening. Retarded punditry is fine here, but when you get a chance to actually speak to one of the movers and shakers of the gubmint, don't you owe it to yourself to come armed with facts, and not just a picture of Obama with a little Hitler mustache and a purse full of hate?

The Dems need to grow some fucking balls and steamroll the Republicans. Obama tried to reach out to them, and they slapped his hand away. I think it's honorable that he tried, but he needs to give up and move on without them. Try and reach out again after 2010 elections.

With full control of the House and Senate, the Dems should be getting shit done. Instead they can't seem to find thier asses with both hands.

It's sad that more of our leaders are not standing up to the bullies.

That was fucking great. This exemplifies what democrats should be doing. Don't even waste time trying to debate with these fucking lunatics. Confront them, embarrass them, and move on to someone who's got a valid argument or question.

BTW, I'm pretty sure that the idiot he pwned was a Larouche fanatic, not a conservative. She had their anti-Obama poster and same look and demeanor of every bat-shit insane Larouchette I've ever met.

Kev, could you tell me what a Larouchette is? I have seen the name twice now in two days, but don't know the background.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_LaRouche
LaRouche's comparisons of U.S. President Barack Obama to German dictator Adolf Hitler in 2009 have generated controversy. LaRouche has called Obama's actions "impeachable," without actually calling for impeachment, due to his support of health insurance reform that LaRouche says is comparable to Hitler's Action T4 euthanasia program.[138] The LaRouche movement has printed pamphlets with a picture on the front showing Obama and Hitler laughing together, and have made posters of Obama wearing a Hitler-style mustache.[139] In Seattle, police have been called twice in response to people who were offended by the posters threatening to tear them apart or to assault the LaRouche supporters holding them.[140] In one notable event, Rep Barney Frank referred to the posters as "vile, contemptable nonsense".

The Bill Maher quote is a really fantastic way of describing the political state of the right/left at the moment.

Extended clip provides proof that the bitch was a far-LEFT Larouchette: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULtgIBKemlc

Crazy needs to be fought against on both the left and the right. I think we can all agree on that, no?


P.S. I'm sure I didn't coin the term "Larouchette", but it's fairly self-explanatory. I'll expand though...

From my experience the most vocal, vitriolic Larouche followers are women. I say this as someone who went to dozens of meetings with these folks during college. They were always dominated by college-aged women who seemed to be so utterly indoctrinated that you could have no conversation with them that didn't involve their Larouche talking points. The woman Barney Frank retaliated against was a living caricature of these "Larouchettes".

sad to say, but on our side of the pond you need to make that distinction.
