Chanting Points Memo: It’s A Miracle!
By Mitch Berg
Four months ago, liberals nationwide and locally proclaimed the Tea Party “dead”.
Today, it’s “responsible” for the collapse of western civilization!
Liberalism means not caring if you get called on your own BS!
But let’s be fair; liberals aren’t supposed to think about what they’re chanting – that, indeed, is why they’re called chanting points.
No – they’re told “if you want your (rhetorical) dinner, you chant away”.
And so they do.
By the way – saying “the Tea Party is responsible for the debt downgrade” is like saying “the kid was responsible for the Emperor being naked”, or “the victim shouldn’t have been wearing that provocative skirt. What a slut”.

Axelrod:
“They want to see the kind of solution that the president has been fighting for”
There is no solution the president has been fighting for. Platitudes and finger pointing are not a plan. The only adults in the room have been Cantor, Ryan, and the tea-party congressmen.

Amazing how powerful those people with low, sloping foreheads have gotten.

It is like the kid said the emperor has no clothes and the crowd calling the kid a pervert.

Mitch, I realize Wisc isn’t a focus of your blog, but yesterdays Milwaukee Journal (online version) has a nice story about how the city of Milwaukee came out way ahead with Governor Walkers budget and union law.
Best quote…someone asked Mayor “clueless” Barrett (who was Walkers opponent last November) if Gov’r Walker gets some credit. His response? “That is a false question”.

The LIbs are scared to death of the Tea Party so they try to attack it in the effort to keep their free meal ticket. They hear the thunder but deny the storm is coming.

“That is a false question”.
Perfect statement of a false intellect.

I like how PhoenixWoman calls Repubs whiners. It reminds me of what my coworker asked me today:
Q: What is the difference between the landing of a corporate jet and Air Force One?
A: When they shut down the engines of the corporate jet, the whining stops.

Here’s one for you all:
Obama looked at Michelle, chuckled and said, “You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy.” Michelle shrugged her shoulders and replied, “I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy”. Hearing their exchange, the pilot of plane said to his co-pilot,” Such big-shots back there. I could throw both of them out of the window and make 256 million people very happy.

I enjoyed that on boss!

But then of course we’d have president Biden. Now THAT’s a scary thought.

also any bets on how many Republicans win today? I’m going to be bold and say they all hold serve on their seats.
August 9th, 2011 at 5:36 pm
Remember this date May 15, 2012. G8 and NATO will hold conferences in Chicago. Anyone wanna bet that leftists behave badly?

Anyone wanna bet that leftists behave badly?
Anyone wanna bet the Sun won’t rise in the East tomorrow? Children are usually very predictable.

Ben, from what I hear there’s only one Republican who is serious danger — Dan Kapanke, from around LaCrosse. He might be a goner, but there’s a good chance the other 5 will win. And then the Republicans get a chance to unseat two Dems next week.

Sweet baby Jesus, you far-right kooks whine! Somebody says “happy holidays,” you whine. Somebody asks you to pay your way instead of sucking up the tax revenue from the productive blue states, you whine. The country elects a black guy as president, you never stop whining!
August 9th, 2011 at 9:49 pm
no, the black guy never stops whining because he’s not getting his way for the first time in his fucking life AC. And last time I checked Texas wasn’t blue

When Obama got elected Angry Clown said that the smart guys were in charge now.
I imagine he wondered why that champagne he was drinking tasted like koolaid.
August 9th, 2011 at 11:11 pm
No whining here, mangy clown…..especially since we’re winning!!!
August 9th, 2011 at 11:54 pm
If the “smart guys” are in charge now, I’d hate to see what a leftist “genius” would do to the economy. We’d probably be living in caves by now. Hey, wait, that’s what the Gorebot wants!

ac’s mom must have turned the lights on in her basement and drove him out for awhile! The only whiners ac are your Dear Leader and his gang of idiots! They are clearly like deer in headlights!

Remember this date May 15, 2012. G8 and NATO will hold conferences in Chicago. Anyone wanna bet that leftists behave badly?
Anyone wanna bet on whether there’ll even be a G8 by that date? What’s the over-under? G5?

OOOO! Good one, N W!

Anyone want to take a weekend trip to Chicago then just for the hell of it? I’m sure we could get some great video. And even money that chi-town will look like London did this weekend. God help the anarchists if they hit a mob spot. They will end up sleeping next to all the Nixon ballots at the bottom of Lake Michigan.
