1. "Busty females?" Come on.

This guy is tone deaf.

[thesquanderer]

12. "Busty females" was about the least offensive thing in that ad.

Maybe you should look up MILF. Or maybe you shouldn't.

But you know, he didn't create these ads. Someone apparently snuck some craigslist ads onto the site...

[MADem]

13. Oh, I know full well that MILF doesn't stand for My Lovely Intelligent Friend!

Well, I suppose we could argue that since he didn't CREATE those ads, that he isn't a "MAKER."

Ergo, he must be a TAKER...so off with his head!

I love using GOP logic on these toads...!

[Rozlee]

20. That's ageist!

What about us GILFs? Genuinely Intelligent Lovely Friends? I look hot in my orthopedic shoes.

[MADem]

22. That's a new one on me!!!

What's next? GGILFs -- Gifted, Gracious Intelligent Lovely Friends?



And as for those shoes, well...hubba, hubba!!!!

[Rozlee]

28. What can I say?

I'm too sexy for my shoes.

[MADem]

30. Well, in THAT case.....

2. Binders full of jobs!

4. Thanks!

I had forgotten about that--

Romney’s ‘Binder full of women’ comment spills onto campaign trail

Mitt Romney’s “binders full of women” comment during the second presidential debate did more than go viral; it put women’s issues back in the campaign spotlight.

Romney made the comment as part of a discussion on gender equality in the workforce, in an attempt to highlight how he sought to hire more women for top positions while he was governor of Massachusetts:

“And I — and I went to my staff, and I said, ‘How come all the people for these jobs are — are all men.’ They said, ‘Well, these are the people that have the qualifications.’ And I said, ‘Well, gosh, can’t we — can’t we find some — some women that are also qualified?’ And — and so we — we took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet.”

Washington Post

And this guy wants to run again?

6. and the wonderful Amazon reviews of said Binders...

15. LOL

[heaven05]

3. that's insane!!!!!

geez

[yuiyoshida]

5. Leave it to the GOP to go there...

in time all Republicans will step down to that level and claim its acceptable. I am sure Rush Limbaugh must be the major occupant of that level of thinking.

7. Dear Governor Tom Corbett,

Are you fucking kidding me with this shit?

Fuck off and suck snot.

Sincerely,
Women Everywhere.

8. I love the Commonwealth.

There seems to be some kind of weird blockage in the political mind when it comes to technology. Even when they use it, they seem somehow not to understand that it is open to scrutiny by just about everyone. I wonder where they keep the videos of those "VIP parties?"

9. To be fair you see those same types of posts on alot of forums online especially

ones with lax moderation.

[NewJeffCT]

18. It's true

but, as I said below, in 2004, MoveOn had a contest for everybody to come up with an anti-bush commercial. One submission out of hundreds (if not thousands) of entries compared Bush to Hitler. That one submission from some random person was used to tar & feather MoveOn and any related progressive group commercials.

Heck, knowing Karl Rove, he could have had one of his minions submit the entry and then rolled it out to the RW media for some character assassination of MoveOn.

[MADem]

23. Neither the Democratic Party nor any Democratic candidate took credit for MOVE ON...

There was a loose association but it's not the same as this schtick. This guy is touting/taking credit for/OWNING that site. He's going out of his way to point at it and say "My doing!" in a prideful way.

And those ads are more than "one submission from a random person." They form a pattern.

[NewJeffCT]

24. Oh, I agree with you

but, even that loose association with Democrats was used to tar & feather many Democrats.

[MADem]

26. It was something that people who already hated Democrats used to justify their continued hatred.

Anyone lacking a bias against Democrats could see that there was a separation between the advocacy group and the political party.

No Democratic politicians were pointing to the submissions by contestants and saying "See? I made that happen!"

They might have been chortling with glee along with the rest of us, but they weren't "taking credit" for what was happening on the site. That's the big distinction here.

[NewJeffCT]

27. Democrats

were forced to disavow MoveOn and the commercial. And, it wasn't long after that where MoveOn said something critical of General Petraeus and Congress took the time to censure MoveOn for their comments on Petraeus.

However, when Rush Limbaugh said something much worse about the troops in general, nothing was done and no Republicans were forced to disavow his comments.

[MADem]

29. Well, a core GOP tactic is "NEVER apologize." That's how they do things.

They thrive on the In-Your-Face EFF YEW. It's like mother's milk to them. It energizes them, unites them, makes them feel like tough guys!

And that's why they're painted into a corner populated by an ever-shrinking number of principally white men. Angry white men. Paranoid white men. Aging, frightened and ineffectual white men. Those are the guys who are strongest for the GOP.

They aren't increasing their numbers, though.

If you can fault the Democratic Party with anything, it's perhaps being too introspective, with beating up our team over this misstep or that, of applying purity tests, of being too critical of our own....but the GOP? They aren't sufficiently critical! It has sustained them to this point, but it's probably going to be their undoing, at the end of it all.

Also, while they will NEVER apologize when they do something wrong, they're the first to affect hurt, outrage and offense -- even if it's wholly manufactured, like the horse shit response to the Move On contest was. The talking points go out, and everyone in the GOP puts on their pearls and clutches them con brio--because that's what they were all told to do. Message discipline is another thing they do better than we do--we're not organized, we're Democrats, after all.

10. There are no words

[Initech]

16. I have two: epic fail. Or maybe colossal fail.

[NewJeffCT]

11. Remember, one submission to the Move On commercial contest

that compared Bush to Hitler was enough to smear all of Move On and any affiliated progressive groups. The same should apply here.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

17. hell yes! they deserve the smear destruction, especially since they actually

ARE evil.

Evil, evil pukes.

[MADem]

25. Not the same, as I indicated upthread. Corbett is OWNING this site.

A non-governmental advocacy group is not the same as a website touted by the state's governor as his agent for job creation. A submission by a random "contestant" is not the same as a posted ad for a sex worker. an ad that the governor is calling an example of "job creation."

There's no equivalency there.

If Harry Reid was vetting those MOVE ON entries before they got posted on the web, you might have a point.

[Initech]

14. Tom Corbett doesn't give a shit about jobs. The only one he cared about saving was Jerry Sandusky's

Think about that for a minute. And we all know how that ended!

[EvolveOrConvolve]

19. So Corbett's touting his fancy web site

I hate to break it to you Tommy, but somebody already invented Craig's List. Probably Craig.

[TBF]

21. Typical republican. nt
