We are not NASTY enough!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

to win we need to be nasty, evil, wicked whatever it takes. Our lives are on the line.

PRIVATIZATION OF EVERYTHING by the Republicans and their loony right!

You guys need to Wake up - quick!

[Ozymanithrax]

1. So if we become them we win?

How many Teabags to I sew into my hat, and when do we claim Palin was really born in Russia, since she said she could see Russia from her window?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

2. We need to annihilate them and hang the teabags out to dry!

[Ozymanithrax]

6. I'm not Nihilistic enough to want to anihilate them.

I prefer to make love not war.

We are not gong to anhilate them, but if we work hard we can win.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. I'm ready to break the teabag open and spill the tea

they need to be remided that they are actually voting and campaigning against themselves - sheep.

[Ozymanithrax]

34. They have a belief system where they are convinced that what the do is right.

We are not going to change their mind. We can only defeat them in an election.

[Chan790]

48. So they're deluded into believing irrational crap.

So are many progressives.

And you're wrong..we need to do a lot more than win elections, we actually have to destroy the core bases of their value system and demoralize them. We need to accept that politics is a war and start treating it that way. It means getting your hands dirty and it means losing the naive idealism.

[DailyGrind51]

46. We have been "working hard", but it is not enough!

Dukakis, Kerry, and now Obama, are uncomfortable with confrontation, and, as a consequence, the first two never got a first term, and the latter may not get a second!

[Chan790]

47. That POV is the reason we're losing a cultural war.

Sorry, it is. Kumbaya and "Making Love, not War." is for losers and naive children.

Me? I want to kick their teeth in. I think we need to appoint someone to the position of slapping John Boehner in the face everytime the orange man opens his mouth to speak. Carthago delenta est. I'm game for sowing their fields with salt, savaging their family values and taking their childrens' candy.

[DailyGrind51]

55. We did not prosecute them when we took over the White House and Congress, and where did that get us?

However, you can be damn sure they will be investigating OUR President and OUR members of Congress if and when they assume control!

[DailyGrind51]

38. We use their tactics to defeat them, replacing their agenda with ours!

You don't take a knife to a gunfight!

[Common Sense Party]

53. I'd sew at least thirteen, to get that dangly effect.

Did she REALLY say that?

[applegrove]

3. Obama demonstrated he knows how to fight an election in 2008. He'll do it again.

But I don't think it hurts to remind the nice dems that this is a real fight.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

4. Knives are sharpened and we are ready!

Obama needs us and we need him!

[RandomThoughts]

5. If a person does that to win, they join them, they do not stand against them.

We need to do are best with best intents, based on what people can think is best ideas.

All will get some things correct, and some things wrong, but if people share ideas, the better ideas will grow, and the worse ones will diminish.




and I know there will be a beer some day.

Ha! I just thought of something.

Proof of Beer some day, even Sam and Frodo sat back and had a beer eventually :) Although that is not a complaint about elven wafers.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

8. WTF?

[KingFlorez]

11. Yeah, not sure what that was

LOL.

[RandomThoughts]

12. Then you havn't been following along.

What part doesn't make sense?

It makes complete sense. LOL, although I wonder what the subtitles say LOL, guess I can ignore them.

:rofl:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

19. Que?

[RandomThoughts]

32. You really don't get it?

to win we need to be nasty, evil, wicked whatever it takes <- that is wrong.


The reason people are that way to you is to get you to be like them, that is what they really are doing, it is not about some economic policy. Greed is so that people will be hurt, then those people hurt will think they have to be greedy or mean or violent.

Bad creates bad. good creates good.

The reason political ads are gossipy and smeary, is to try and get everyone to be that way.


That is why society should not be part of mean stuff, nor respect it. And why there should be base line rules for those that live in greed, and jail for those that hurt people with greed, or other mean ways of treating people.

It is really easy to understand.


That is why Gandhi did not tell people to get violent, but was non violent till enough saw who was on the right side of the issue. Bad side can not handle being shown what they are doing, because most people are more good then bad. Also why deception and hiding is part of bad actions.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. Do you support the Teabagger or what?

[Chan790]

50. Oh, that's just RT.

He's always like that. He's very obscure and stream-of-consciousness. Brilliant and philosophical, almost impossible to understand.

Think of him as your personal Yoda.

[RoccoR5955]

9. Hang 'em by their teabags!

I agree that we are not nasty enough, but the censorship here prevents us from being really nasty. Believe you me, I can get into a full fledged flame war here with some of the people whom I suspect are actually teabaggers. I hold myself back, but in real life, I am a rabid republican hater.

I try to explain to everyone how privatization only costs people more in even the short run. If you do anything that's one word different from what's outlined in a contract, they want outrageous amounts of money for what is no more than lifting a pinky. I know this, because I am a civil servant.

If I was to do the job I do in the private sector, I could make 2-3 times more than what I am making now. I don't work in the private sector, because a long, long time ago, I vowed never to work for a corporation. Since 1975 I have only worked for one, which was very small, and only for a year. Other than that, I have worked for cooperatives, mom and pop's, and in the public sector.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

10. I AM DEAD AGAINST ANY PRIVATIZATION!

we need to rise up against them but here these people are apologizing!

[TBF]

14. So am I - including the attempts by this administration. nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

16. look, call them and go and see them!

stop saying that this admin this admin that - get down to DC and knock on the door! I hate this - oh well the admin are this and that.

[TBF]

21. Did you write that just to bump your own thread? nt

31. Self-promotion is unbecoming,

as are the personal insults. You posted about privatization, and I responded with my opinion. Arne Duncan's attempt to privatize schools is the most obvious attempt but there are others.

I am against privatization by the republicans (and particularly the tea baggers & libertarians), but also against it when democrats are at the helm. Partisanship does not blind me, as it seems to blind many others here.

[butterfly77]

15. Kicked&Recommended!

:dem:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

17. Yo!

[quickesst]

18. Your answer.....

...in a nutshell.

"I met a genie who would grant me one wish
"I want to live forever," I said.

"Sorry" said the genie, "I'm not allowed to grant wishes like that!"

"Fine," I said, "I want to die after the Democrats grow some balls!"

"You crafty bastard," said the genie."

Thanks to Fgbash via Bartcop. Thanks.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

20. Light the torches we are ready

this is the problem, everybody waits for the other except we are ready.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

23. see how the Right are unrecommending standing up against them?

[prolesunited]

25. No, I would unrecommend this

just because it's ugly, divisive and not productive.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

27. you like privatization?

so I will blame you

[Chan790]

51. Rebuttal.

Ugly and divisive is productive purely in its' own right. I don't know if you noticed, they can't tear themselves apart fast enough, they're like maenads...you throw gasoline on that shit when it happens in front of you and you call it a gift. Cursed are the peacemakers, they're not worth having as allies.

It's a war and you're getting us killed with that sort of naivety.

[Sinistrous]

24. I like your style.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

26. all fired up and ready!

if they want a fight they are going to get one!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

28. how many Republicans can we count here?

Look republicans it is 'war!'

[opihimoimoi]

29. KnR :o) Maybe we try Music that instills Fun and GOOD TIMES

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8qLp2r7lkk

The goal is for more to enjoy fun and sun...we do this with reminders of what we are missing for too many of us

[HughMoran]

30. We're NASTY enough when it comes to bashing Democrats though

ironic

[Peacetrain]

33. Yep..

[Hello_Kitty]

37. You mean like President Obama did at that $30K a plate dinner?

He was talking about Democrats.

[HughMoran]

39. He said nothing of the sort

and what he did say I agree with 100%.

This isn't us against him - it's US, period. You can sit there throwing stones, but that's not why I was put on this planet.

[Hello_Kitty]

41. What are you saying to independent voters you contact to persuade them?

Walk me through your script.

[HughMoran]

42. Not talking to a Dem basher

sorry.

[Hello_Kitty]

44. IOW, you aren't doing anything to get the vote out for Dems

You're snarking on DU all day. You're not doing jack shit, otherwise you'd tell me what you say to indy voters to persuade them to vote Dem.

I'll be canvassing tomorrow for local candidates. I'll be talking to low efficacy Dem and indy voters about jobs and clean energy. Sunday I'm canvassing for a Congressional candidate and the script will be about jobs, middle class tax cuts, and reminding them that our opponent is Ben Quayle.

What are you doing besides snarking on DU?

I don't bash Dems. I work for them. I want Dems to win. But when I work for them I expect at least a good faith attempt to enact progressive policies (and to be sure, there have been many accomplishments to that end) and treat me with a modicum of respect.

[HughMoran]

45. SSDD

It's not me, it's you. Buh-bye.

57. Nah. Some jump in front of speeding cars

Play in traffic = get hurt.

[Phx_Dem]

35. Oh, we're nasty enough. It's just directed at our own party instead of the opposition.

[proteus_lives]

36. Fail.

[backscatter712]

40. What we need is the liberal, Democratic equivalent of Lee Atwater.

Someone with the balls, the chutzpah and the genius to tear the GOP to pieces over and over and over again.
