The American Spectator : The Spectacle Blog : Ramming Rahm

Text Size

If Rahm Emanuel wants to fight over ideas, we'll fight over ideas and grind his tough-guy act into the ground. Emanuel said on Sunday that conservatives have no ideas, and that we just say no. Here's my answer to this two-bit bully.

The problem is the left can simply regurgitate talking points, the knee-pad media spins them, and the ostrich/zombie/sheeple living in Amerika lap it up like mother's milk.

"Republicans are the party of 'no'!"
"Really, how so?"
"Umm, umm, it said so in the NYT!!!! And George W. Bush is a war criminal!!!!!"

Thinking is hard. Defending/articulating a deeply-held belief is harder. Parroting the NYT or blaming the current republican bogeyman---easy.

The big thing Conservatives should keep in mind: don't let Liberals set the tone. That means laughing in their faces when they bring up debate stoppers like "racist", "extremist", etc.

Nothing so throws a Liberal as not taking the poor dear seriously.

This is all of a cloth with the same strident nonsense we see posted by some commenters here everyday.
Frankly I have to acknowlege that the Obama people are enjoying great success sowing discord in our ranks.

We have witnessed 8 years of Bush hatred continuing unabated even now under the new Community Organizer-in-Chief, Abu Hussein from Kenya and his ACORN brownshirts. Just imagine their frustration - that functional moron, inventor of Internet and re-inventor of government Al Gore LOSING in 2000! And then their phony self-proclaimed war hero John Kerry LOSING in 2004! Wasting 8 years of their lives deprived from executive power was not to be endured! And the moment of sweet revenge has now arrived - on the new wave of the Marxist Manifesto! Revenge! Revenge! Kill them all forever - those potential domestic terrorists like me and other readers of this despicable capitalist treasonous rag American Spectator! Nationalize, outlaw, punish, tax away, put in jail all that capitalist racaille! Davis, Alinsky, Ayers, Wright, Dohrn, Ward, Khalidi, West, Ogletree, Malley, Asbahi, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Black Panthers, PLO, marxist professors, panic mongers of globaloney cooling, globaloney warming, and now climate change agitators - these must be taught in schools by the marxist goons of teacher unions!
