Who else is losing track of which progressives we are supposed to hate now?

[Logical]

I am not sure if I am supposed to like or hate.....

Jon Stewart
Paul Krugman

8. It was the Reactionary Screamers who fancy themselves as Progressives who are calling to Primary Al

Franken, who trashed Randi Rhodes- I could go on.

It's the ideologues who are filled with hate and abandon anyone if they don't get their way immediately.

[EFerrari]

14. WELL, isn't that SPECIAL!

[Skidmore]

38. There's truth in Kitty's statement.

Snark doesn't hide it either.

[EFerrari]

46. There's a shitload of projective irony in her statement

as any regular DUer knows.

[Skidmore]

48. You might just be the one who

is projecting. Ever consider that?

[riverwalker]

9. I hate myself now

I'm so confused.

[SusanaMontana41]

12. Nobody should hate alone. So

[Armstead]

26. I hate both of you...and I'm not too crazy about myself

Just sayin'

[QC]

15. I guess Mike Malloy will be joining us under here shortly.

That's a real rant, as opposed to the contrived faux-Texan variety.

[SusanaMontana41]

18. Awesome! n/t

[tnlefty]

23. No, no, no...

Mike and some of us Truthseekers have been under the bus for quite some time! :hi:

[EFerrari]

20. The CBC, the ACLU and NPR.

[Armstead]

27. Matt Damon said he was diosappointed in Obama. He...

was tossed under that bus faster than you can say Jason Bourne

[Lorien]

21. Glenn Greenwald:

http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/02/23/democrats

Democrats perpetrate the same scam over and over on their own supporters, and this illustrates perfectly how it's played:

Politics Daily, October 4, 2009:

Jay Rockefeller on the Public Option: "I Will Not Relent"

Jay Rockefeller has waited a long time for this moment. . . . He's [] a longtime advocate of health care for children and the poor -- and, as Congress moves toward its moment of truth on health care, perhaps the most earnest, dogged Senate champion of a nationwide public health insurance plan to compete with private insurance companies.

"I will not relent on that. That's the only way to go," Rockefeller told me in an interview. "There's got to be a safe harbor."

President Obama often says a public option is needed to drive down costs and keep insurance companies honest. To Rockefeller, it's both more basic and more vital: The federal government is the only institution people can count on in times of need.

The Huffington Post, yesterday:

Rockefeller Not Inclined To Support Reconciliation For The Public Plan

Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.V.) threw a wrench into Democratic efforts to get a public option passed through reconciliation, saying that he thought the maneuver was overly partisan and that he was inclined to oppose it. . .

"I don't think the timing of it is very good," the West Virginia Democrat said on Monday. "I'm probably not going to vote for that" . . . In making his sentiment known, Rockefeller becomes perhaps the most unexpected skeptic of the public-option-via-reconciliation route. The Senator was a huge booster of a government run insurance option during the legislation drafting process this past year.

In other words, Rockefeller was willing to be a righteous champion for the public option as long as it had no chance of passing (sadly, we just can't do it, because although it has 50 votes in favor, it doesn't have 60). But now that Democrats are strongly considering the reconciliation process -- which will allow passage with only 50 rather than 60 votes and thus enable them to enact a public option -- Rockefeller is suddenly "inclined to oppose it" because he doesn't "think the timing of it is very good" and it's "too partisan." What strange excuses for someone to make with regard to a provision that he claimed, a mere five months ago (when he knew it couldn't pass), was such a moral and policy imperative that he "would not relent" in ensuring its enactment.

22. Why aren't you sure?

Can you think freely for yourself and like or hate who you choose? :shrug:
These posts are just silly.
You're taking this place way too seriously.

[lunatica]

37. The OP was obviously being sarcastic

He didn't even need an emoticon for that to come through. And sarcasm in this case was to point out the silliness of the arguments around here. Sometimes it's reduced to some here trying to throw others here under the bus. Mostly die hard Obama-can't-do-anything-right haters vs die hard Obama-can-do-no-wrong lovers who rage at each other for days every time he does anything or when a public figure criticizes him in any way.

29. Love the acorn! n/t

[jberryhill]

30. Someone had a list, but they got thrown undadabus

[Rincewind]

33. Easy way to keep track,

for politicians, if they got elected, they are sell outs and democrats in name only. For non politicians, if they say anything nice, or slightly approving about any elected officials, they are lying right wing scum suckers. For everyone else, if they agree with everything you think and say, they are brilliant, clear thinking patriots, with a tremendous grasp of the facts. Any disagreement, no matter how minor, if proof that they are stupid, uneducated, and un American. And don't forget, anyone who has ever worked in any capacity, for any length of time for a bank, insurance company, or a defense company, is a traitor to America, and the whole human race. So basically, no one is on our side, not even ourselves.

[Kalidurga]

34. I am saving my hate list for...

tea baggers. It's a shorter list and I don't have to worry I will be hating someone by mistake.

[pipi_k]

44. Which brings up another point...

I can't even remember which companies we're supposed to be hating on/boycotting anymore.


As you said...


"And don't forget, anyone who has ever worked in any capacity, for any length of time for a bank, insurance company, or a defense company, is a traitor to America, and the whole human race."


We're supposed to be boycotting all these places to really stick it to them. Put 'em out of business. Destroy them.

Even though putting them out of business would create a whole lot of unemployed people.

We already have a huge unemployment problem in this country. But hey...here's a dandy idea...let's destroy companies that contribute to Republicans, or let's boycott little businesses that DARE to show Fox News on their own TV sets! That'll teach 'em!!! Fuck the people who work there.

They'll just lose their jobs and then we can all sit around feeling outraged over the homeless problem or people who no longer have medical coverage through the jobs they USED to have.

I think people just don't stop to look beyond their own noses sometimes. Some things that seem like a great idea at the time really turn out to be shit.

[PufPuf23]

35. This is a funny and cynical thread

Thank you.

Please add me to the list.

Apparently according to POTUS Obama and DU (I had my 5th deleted post tonight ever), I am apparently destined on the list if I should even matter.

Add PufPuf 23 please.

Probably I am on your side.

Very cynical tonight.

[dgibby]

39. You're in very good company! n/t

[Le Taz Hot]

42. You only have 5 deleted posts?

Amateur. :eyes: :evilgrin: ;-)

(A couple of days ago I said that I voted for progressives. It got deleted. :wtf:)

[mmonk]

41. All of the above and ourselves.

[Le Taz Hot]

43. And Boomers.

We're the scourge of history. Everything that has ever gone wrong in the world? Our fault. :shrug:

[pipi_k]

45. I take personal responsibility...

for the great Northeast blackout of November 9, 1965.


The rest of you are on your own...
