Remember how, just a few short months ago, Democrats were complaining that imagery in the political rhetoric was too violent? How people (right wingers, in particular) needed to tone it down?
Ah, good times.
Never negotiate with terrorists. It only encourages them.
These last few months, much of the country has watched in horror as the Tea Party Republicans have waged jihad on the American people. Their intransigent demands for deep spending cuts, coupled with their almost gleeful willingness to destroy one of America’s most invaluable assets, its full faith and credit, were incredibly irresponsible. But they didn’t care. Their goal, they believed, was worth blowing up the country for, if that’s what it took.
Inflicting more pain on their countrymen doesn’t much bother the Tea Party Republicans, as they’ve repeatedly proved.
Our enemies could not have designed a better plan to weaken the American economy than this debt-ceiling deal.
For now, the Tea Party Republicans can put aside their suicide vests. But rest assured: They’ll have them on again soon enough.
Tea Party Patriots Demand Apology From Biden
the Vice President of the United States referred to tea party Americans as “acting like terrorists,” during a Democratic caucus meeting yesterday. The remarks came after another democrat, Rep. Moyer said “we have negotiated with terrorists,” when referring to talks and compromise with newly elected freshmen. Today, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney defended the remarks, saying they were simply part of an “emotional” debate.
Sources: Joe Biden likened tea partiers to terrorists
“We have negotiated with terrorists,” an angry [Dem Rep Mike] Doyle said, according to sources in the room. “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.”
Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) called seemed to enjoy the heat analogy, saying: “the Tea Partiers and the GOP have made their slash and burn lunacy clear, and while I do not love this compromise, my vote is a hose to stop the burning. The arsonists must be stopped.
Biden told Democratic lawmakers that the deal would take away the tea party’s “weapon of mass destruction” — the threat of a default on U.S. debt obligations.
“They have no compunction about blowing up the economy to get what they want,” Doyle told POLITICO after the meeting.
One Response to “Political Rhetoric”
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Too violent? Fuck ’em, I say. Git a Rope, or if that is too violent, how about some good old honest Stockholm tar, hot and hot, and some chicken feathers, and a nice sharp-edged split rail for a free ride out of town?
