After months of calling Obama and Dems "nazis", righties freak out when they are called racists

[ck4829]

Apparently, right out of the "can dish it out, but can't take it" department:

"In August, Nancy Pelosi commented that protestors are "carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care." Sure enough, swastikas and other Nazi icons had appeared on signs carried by those protestors, who were suggesting that the Democrats' health care reform plans were reminiscent of Hitler's Germany. But the right-wing was sure that Pelosi was talking about them, and had been calling the protestors or opponents of health care reform "Nazis."

Now, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is getting the same treatment. In a floor speech yesterday, Whitehouse criticized Senate Republicans' rampant obstructionism of health care reform efforts, specifically their refusal to support cloture on a defense appropriations bill in hopes of slowing down attempts to move to a vote on health care. Whitehouse stated that Senate Republicans were "desperate to break this president," adding "They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist."

Just like in the case with Al Franken who is being "mean to them", Republicans have shown themselves to be nothing more than the grown up version of school yard bullies. They think they own the place and they think they're free to beat up whomever they want, but as soon as they meet someone who is the same size as them and punches back, they run to the corner with their tail between their legs and crying about how unfair everything is and how they are the victims.

1. When they started protesting for just losing the election

it became pretty clear what the GOP and right wingers were all about.

2. King

It's time we had a King--like the King of Monaco--who will give us free cable and healthcare--our Prez is just a figurehead and the Senate is totally worthless--house seems 1/2 OK though.

4. My fellow americans

you are helping to destroy our country.I hear talk about the terrorist from out side of the country,but the terrorist within are just as deadly.When will declare war on our enemy within,the klan and other hate groups?.We spend billions of dollars to destroy the lives of innocent women and children in foreign countries and the real evil ones here at home are free to continue their evil deeds.

5. It isn't the term they object to

They're just allergic to accurate statements of any kind.
That's why being around the word "NAZIIII!!!!!1111" didn't phase them, but "Racist." gives them a rash.
