A BAD DAY FOR THE AMERICAN LEFT
Yesterday proved to be a day to forget for our friends on the left. It appears that they lost so much bile and spittle in defending, attacking, defending again, and finally going stark, raving, loony that I daresay many of them will need a bile transfusion not to mention an IV drip to replace all the bodily fluids they expended in an unsuccessful effort to respond to news headlines that highlighted their total cluelessness.
In fact, I’d like to use this blog to offer my assistance in their recovery. Anyone wishing to donate their bodily fluids, please deposit them either here or here. And remember, all gifts are tax deductible.
The day began with the release of the Barrett Report, an independent counsel monstrosity that took 10 years and $23 million to figure out that 1) former housing secretary Henry Cisneros is a crook; and 2) the Clinton Administration was peppered with corrupt, lying, weasels who weren’t above using the IRS to cover-up their venality.
Well, duh.
Predictably, the left pounced on this bit of non-news and attacked Republicans for being two faced not to mention trying to distract the populace from the Abramoff scandal. As usual, the left resorted to moral relativity to dismiss the criminal actions of the Clinton administration: You’re scandal is worse than our scandal.
How edifying.
A little later in the morning, the first really big bomb of the day was dropped by none other than Deborah Howell of the Washington Post who wrote a story on the Abramoff scandal in which she identified some Democratic pols who received money from some of the sleazeball’s Indian tribe clients. For some reason, the left took serious umbrage to this information - information available from the Federal Election Commission among other places - in that someone in the media was trying to point out the obvious; the Jackanape Abramoff sleaze machine touches both political parties.
This just won’t do. This is a Republican scandal after all and how dare you bring any Democrats into it?
At any rate, Howell responded on the Washington Post Blog yesterday and the legions of lefties left so many comments of, shall we say, a personal nature including suggestions that Howell perform feats of anatomical legerdemain that most textbooks say is impossible. This caused the prim and proper folks at the Post to turn off the comments to the site which only caused the moonbats to spin further out of control.
It was a great show and only reveals the absolute, total electoral desperation of the left. They don’t believe they have any issues they can run on that can win next November. In fact, they think they’re only chance to overturn the House and Senate is to hold the Republicans up as the sole party of corruption and sleaze.
Note to my liberal friends: Running around screaming “neener, neener, neener” to anyone who reveals the truth about Capitol Hill corruption - that sleaze knows no ideology or favorite party - is not a winning strategy. Politics has a nasty habit of revealing a lot of glass houses where the other side always has a large supply of stones. This goes for both parties on all sorts of ethics issues. And as the polls show, the majority of voters believe Democrats and Republicans are equally crooked.
So…Get. A. Grip.
Finally, a nuclear bomb went off with the Osama tape. For some reason, the imaginations of the Reality Based Community took flight and soared into the stratosphere of cuckoo land when several threads on Daily Kos speculated that Osama was really a Republican in disguise, a Rovian creation that coincidentally always seemed to emerge whenever Republicans were in trouble for one thing or another.
Since from the moonbat perspective, the Republicans are always in trouble - that some issue or news story will finally bring down King George and his minions - one would think that after being so wrong, so many times, on so many “scandals,” each one a dead certainty to prove to be Bush’s undoing, they would learn from their mistakes. No such luck.
At any rate, after convincing themselves that Osama was a Republican plant, it seemed to escape their notice that Osama’s entire rant could have come from the fertile imagination and ample gut of His Rotundness, Michael Moore. As I said below, the left is just too dense to recognize how much they have in common with the mass murderer.
And then Chrissy Matthews made the mistake of actually pointing out that Osama “sounds like an over the top Michael Moore here, if not a Michael Moore…” on Hardball last night. That did it. Even the perspicacious Peter Daou went bananas saying ” “Bin Laden sounds like Rush Limbaugh” — “Bin Laden sounds like Bill O’Reilly”– “Bin Laden sounds like Mel Gibson” — “Bin Laden sounds like Bruce Willis” — “Bin Laden sounds like Michelle Malkin”… and how would you Republicans like them apples?
Peter, God bless him, completely misses the point. No one in their right mind would say that Osama sounds like any of those conservatives because not one thing Bin Laden said remotely resembled anything ever uttered by any of those worthies. And to make the comparison only shows that, in fact, the left recognizes very well that Osama was spouting their talking points. To prove it, take any day’s postings and diaries at Daily Kos and I guarantee you will be able to match what Osama said with what is said on that “mainstream” Democratic site.
The fact that liberals feel no shame about having a mass murdering thug agreeing with them (and being clueless about why) was highlighted by Senator Joe Biden who, in response to Chrissy Matthews Michael Moore observation had this to say:
“I think this is just to reinforce sort of the stereotypical negative images of us in the Muslim world. That’s why I really think this is much more directed toward the Muslim world…”
The unspoken question and answer here is how did the Muslims get to thinking this way about America? It couldn’t be this kind of traitorous language used by liberals in everything they write, everything they say, and everything they think now, could it?
The Osama tape brings liberals face to face with the consequences of their stupidity. Their wild conspiracy theories, their deranged hatred of the President, their constant caterwauling about how badly the war is going (despite all the evidence to the contrary), and their cockeyed notions of Osama himself will show anyone with an ounce of objectivity that the deadliest enemy of the United States agrees with them. They cannot escape it. They cannot deny it. They can only try and change the subject.
I hope you lefties have a better day today. And I’ll bet more than a few of them are saying to themselves…
Thank God it’s Friday.
“neener, neener, neenerâ€
You have captured the essence of what, in the world of the moonbats, is considered a “well thought out, enlightened opinion.”

Think they are having a bad day now. Just wait for the day after the next election.
I can already hear the renewed calls to move to Canada…
Bonus distress: All of Osama’s main targets in the US are in Democrat territory. (Yet Bush is the biggest threat!)

Fred Fry sez:
“I can already hear the renewed calls to move to Canada…”
They’d better move this weekend, because by Monday night the Conservatives will be the majority party in Parliament!

Outstanding piece. And kudos: you kept both your temper and your sanity in writing it.

You wrote: “The Osama tape brings liberals face to face with the consequences of their stupidity”
I agree and I believe that some liberals recognize that they have contributed to Osama’s dialog. Will they alter their behavior? No. Will they attack anyone who points out their handy work (Matthews)? Yes. Infact they will beat him to a pulp until he has no choice but to return to their Plantation and reverse course. And little Chrissy will.
But think about the closet liberals that truly know that the road they have choosen have brought their party to impending ruin. How they must cringe when listening to their leaders going down this road and they are helpless to stop them. There are a lot of loose bowels this morning. I can smell them from here.

And as soon as they turn Matthews we will be able to re-name the puke Sissy Matthews!

I think Osama releasd this tape now because some evidence indicates that the missle strike in Pakistan that happened recently took out some top Al Qaeda operatives. He needed to save face somehow and since he has been unable to attack the American homeland directly he releases a tape. Lets pray Al Qaeda continues to be unsuccessful in their attempts to attack the American home land.
Comment by B.Poster — 1/20/2006 @ 12:21 pm
What impressed me most about this missile strike in Pakistan was the alacrity with which those on the left embraced the most damning-for-the-US version of the story. Of course now that version looks to be highly untrue (/but accurate/?).
(Much like old Danny and his forged memos.)
Very telling.

UBL’s speach may not have sounded like MM, but it could well have been written by the drunkard from Mass’s staff with assistance from Dusty Reid’s idiots. Using all of the lefts talking points is an indication we are right, the democrats are providing aid and comfort to the terrorists on a daily basis. I expect a leak any day to show they are also providing financial assistance also. Maybe that’s why they’re in such a panic about the NSA.
At least one thing has been proven wrong, the democrats are not ‘Stuck on Stupid’, they aren’t stuck, they are progressing further and faster into stupidity.

What I’d like to know is what happened to OBLs video camera? Has he been bombed back into teh days of cassette recorders?
What next? And 8 track? Maybe in a year or so he will be sending out his recording on wax discs eh?
Actually I have it on good authority that OBL is, in fact, living in the basement of the Washington Post, has joined the union of newspress operators as a cover and is actually a closet republican that has been executing the global war on terror simply to be able to secure construction contracts for his dead fathers company, hoping to show that he is teh child best suited for running a large construction concern, and that is the reason for his “truce”.

It just keeps getting worse for the left. Been reading a lot of on-line news today. Seems Hillary ‘the weasel’ Clinton is talking tough on Iran but accepting donations from Iranian’s in the U.S. who are trying to do away with the sanctions, and raising money (giving speaches) for an Iranian organization that wants to make it easier for Iranian terrorists to enter the U.S. This gal is not a flip-flopper, she’s riding a merry go round doing an alternate grap and slap as she passes by. She would stick her head up the rear of a jackass and bray if the thought the owner would give her a dollar. She’s been a greedy bitch since before she left Ark…Wonder why the people of Ark. didn’t vote for Slick and won’t vote for her? People had better wise up to this con woman.
Comment by scrapiron — 1/20/2006 @ 7:06 pm
OBL murdered the only real rival the Taliban, and a real fighter of the Soviets, Mosod the day before the 9/11 attacks. He sent a sucide bomber disguised as a camaraman, with a bomb hidden in his camara.
Since then OBL has been a bit paronoid about his personal security. I bet he does not trust any device that can possibly contain 1) a bomb or 2) a homing device. He knows that GWB want him and has put a price on his head, everyone around OBL is a possible traitor, and so OBL must sleep knowing there might be a bomb, hellfire or bunch of special forces about to come crashing through his doors and windows at anytime.

Rick,
After a particularly good post of yours, I started visiting this blog a few months ago as one of my regular rotation. I think I’m done now.
Thanks for the good posts. There have a been a few that were thought-provoking and well-researched. You’re obviously a very smart guy. Unfortunately, there are also posts (like this one) that frankly make the blog unreadable for me. It’s your blog, you should feel free to write whatever you like, and it’s clear from the comments above that there’s an audience for this kind of mindless bashing. So I’ll do my reading elsewhere.
Take Care and Best of Luck!

I wonder what the point was in announcing to all that he would no longer be a visitor?
Reminds me of a 13 year old drama queen…
Oh well. I guess that knocks my Sitemeter daily average down to 2118. A few more like that and I’ll have less than…2100.
