1. You got it, Lil' joe is nothing more

then a far right cwhorepoRATe propagandist. Not a very good one at that because the only one he's got snowed, or bullied, or both, is his poor little abused housewife, Mika.

2. on the whole high level democrats are not that much better nt

[ErikJ]

3. Imagine

[Arthur_Frain]

4. Concisely says it all

THE RISE OF THE TEA PARTY HAS BEEN CATASTROPHIC FOR AMERICA BECAUSE YOU:

Portray all government mismanagement as a cover up conspiracy against the people

Believe that no government is good government

Base your philosophy on no compromising although the success of our republic has been based on this ideal for more than two centuries

Falsely portray that all government programs undercut your liberty

Have equally damaged both the Republican and Democratic party through deceitful propaganda

Perpetuate the lie that the size of government is increasing, even though we have 600K less government employees today than in 2008 (source: U.S. Labor Department)

Preach anarchy by spreading paranoia that our own government is our greatest enemy which perpetuates unwarranted public mistrust in government

Believe that all liberal policies are unconstitutional

Very arrogantly think you represent the founding fathers and understand the constitution more than anyone else

Perpetuate the fallacy that all federal regulations hinder your freedom

Demonize public service, a once proud career for Americans

5. Thanks for posting that there. n/t

[smallcat88]

8. Well said!

[SCVDem]

12. That should be on a poster

We can post this list everywhere!

Thanks Arthur

[SoapBox]

13. Billboards and Bumper Stickers too! Nationwide!

6. If he thinks we're going to fall for that, then he's been snorting too much Koch

!!

[smallcat88]

9. Someone

needs to come up with a smiley for snorting Koch. <---- Right now these and the devils are the closest we've got.

7. Triana, could you give me a link to this that's not twitter or facebook, if that's what this is?

Because when I click on the OP all I see it the title, since they never come through as I am not signed in - don't have an account.

I got some of the context from Arthur Frain's reply and this sounds very good and I'd like to share it with a link.

TIA if possible.

[smallcat88]

10. Right click

on the picture, go to properties and copy the URL address in a new browser window.

[freshwest]

11. Thanks, I know how to do that, but there's no picture as I'm not signed in to them.

[Triana]

16. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BeBl1AFIEAAo6c0.jpg

I think the image is public ie: no twitter acct required - but I could be wrong.

[freshwest]

24. Thanks, I was able to see it there but DU won't show that link for me, so I uploaded it elsewhere:

So now it shows up on DU for me. I really appreciate you posting it here and helping me out with this.

It is indeed damning and a truth which cannot be repeated often enough! American is being played by the employees like Joe who work for criminals.

[SoapBox]

14. Funny!

...right now is a rerun of Star Trek: The Next Generation..."Time's Arrow"...1992.

Mr. Clemens just said to Troy, about how men in his time got power and wealth by standing on the backs of the poor.

My...how profound.

15. "…their plan for changing America into a place friendly for corporations…"

…has long ago been achieved. Now their goal is to transform America into a place where only corporations have rights, and they are absolute.

[bvar22]

17. You could have substituted Bill Clinton's photo for the one that says:

My chief weapon is the Straussian "Noble Lie".
My job is to deliver you to my corporate masters who have crushed your Unions
and shipped your jobs overseas where labor is cheap."

President Obama seems obsessed with doing the same.

It is hard to make a distinction between the Republicans who serve the Corporate Masters,
and the "Democrats" who serve the Corporate Masters.

Korean Free Trade Deal devastating for US Workers

What happened to the 70,000 jobs that the Korea Free Trade deal was supposed to create? They never materialized. Instead, U.S. workers lost 40,000 jobs in the first year of the agreement.

22. I am the original author of the Joe Scarborough Meme

I believe that Joe Scarborough is a salesman of Republican ideas and ideals that have over time been proven to not to work.

Although I welcome dissenting opinion, I find it odd that folks would believe that the two political parties would always be perfectly symmetrical in all ways when it comes to corporate corruption.

[Enthusiast]

29. And yet, somehow, he is the MSNBC morning bell cow.

MSNBC, the "liberal station".

[Cha]

18. And, I hear Colbert nailed him again last night..

Thanks Triana

19. "My mandate is invoke the jingoistic language of Ronald Reagan to make you feel exceptional."

And that, right there, is the core, the singular seed of how fascism works, why it appeals, and how it is so persistent.

[stillwaiting]

23. The people that fall for that are huge assholes.

And, it seems we have quite a few of them in this country unfortunately.

People that believe in "American exceptionalism" and "Conservative exceptionalism" (wherein they really truly believe liberals are evil and that conservatives are God's exceptional chosen ones) are small-minded, self-centered assholes. There is no mincing words here.

[Jake2413]

20. I still don't understand how he has a show on MSNBC

[freshwest]

25. There are only 5 or 6 conservative billionaire owners. They'll play their tune or be fired.

That's why I don't get too excited about the snippets of progressive or liberal talk they allow them to say.

Because they are 99% controlled and their overall messageing, cultural and political, serve not truth, the public interest or any positive changes in this country.

No really harsh questions asked, no going into the bigger problem despite the angst. The blurbs we love are all they are going to toss to us, just crumbs.

The 'liberal' media has been gone a long time, instead we have been treated to a light version of this since the 1980s on television, that is becoming worse daily. They have bought out the radio waves as well and their first cuts are dissenters.

Now they can also restrict content online, by the simple act of ownership. That is a hard thing to get around, but then we don't want any 'socialism' or 'big government.' This is what we will get from now on unless we GOTV.

JMHO. YMMV.

21. Joe Shillbarrow

What a complete and total TOOL...

[wheniwasincongress]

26. I hope he runs for President

[nikto]

27. I've got just 2 words to say to Joe...

Lori Klausutis.

[Enthusiast]

28. And he killed the intern.

Never allow murder to go unmentioned.

[winstars]

30. It never will be forgotten. Too many people mention it ALL THE TIME. No way if he runs for

anything including dogcatcher that so many will bring his "issue" with dead interns that it will hit the MSM...

At least I hope so!
