But "FemiNazi" and "Hitlery" Klintoon are AOK???

[Bluebear]

WTF is Durbin apologizing for? Why is it always our side that has to kowtow and backtrack?

[dhinojosa]

1. Great point.....recommending, this little tidbit. nt

[Beaverhausen]

2. Does he still use those terms?

[carnie_sf]

3. I agree

I also think anyone using feminazi, hitlery, clintoon, or democraps should be immediately shot.

[mopaul]

4. apologize rush, for the sake of the holocaust victims

[Double T]

5. This is hypocrisies finest hour...

brought to you by shrub and company.

[wicket]

6. I've never understood the "Klintoon" comment

What does it mean?? All of these nicknames from the right-wing are disgusting.

[Bluebear]

8. Frankly I never got that either! n/t

[Mad_Dem_X]

10. I never understood "Hitlery"

What on earth has Hillary ever done to be compared to *Hitler*???

[Lisa]

36. are they saying that Bill Clinton is a caricature?

Because I can think of a much more definitive example -- someone from a wealthy privileged background who puts on a fake rural accent and struts around mispronouncing words and pretending to be a hick.

Go on, take a wild guess!

[wicket]

42. LOL!!!!!

The AWOL Kid :D

[geniph]

7. Because our side has a disproportionately high percentage

of invertebrates.

11. here are some...

Biden (D-DE), Yea
Bingaman (D-NM), Yea
Byrd (D-WV), Yea
Carper (D-DE), Yea

Nelson (D-NE), Yea
Pryor (D-AR), Yea
Reid (D-NV), Yea
Salazar (D-CO), Yea
Stabenow (D-MI), Yea
Also:
Clinton (D-NY), Not Voting

We need to realize that true representation in our government is the exception, not the rule...

We need to take the bull by the horns before it's too late.

[Goldeneye]

20. Wasn't Bill having surgery during that vote?

I'm not sure Hillary should be on there.

[JRob]

30. wasn't the surgery last year, before the election?

[Goldeneye]

32. He had a second one to remove some fluid from somewhere.

I honestly don't remember where though. :shrug: Lungs maybe?

[JRob]

35. I don't know either, but whether or not she's part of the DINO's...

contingent (I hope she's not) doesn't diminish the the fact that in the Democratic party are politicians that are continually helping to propel the the RW agenda.

[dogday]

9. Our Democratic Senators are a bunch of freaking wussies.....

In one week Dean was explaining and aplolgizing and then Durbin. It makes us look wrong and weak. Grow a pair, please.....

[ElectroPrincess]

13. And if they don't show some loyalty to the Working People

vice the Multi-National Corporations. What the hell, vote them out if possible, or perhaps, just don't vote. Although I still volunteer for my local Democratic Party off-and-on, I've made the switch to Independent. It's so damn liberating! :-)

[JRob]

17. The only difference between Democrat and Republican Politicians is...

the role they play in our political theater.

How many indications do we need to grasp that there is NO (or at least minimal) representation in our Government.

The only difference between us and Republican voters is that the Republicans have yet to smell the stench.

DINO's have one role: Make us believe there's hope while the hole is being dug.

I'm done playing the game...

12. 1) Make An Outrageous Claim 2) Challenge The Other Side to Prove You Wrong

Why is it that even bottomfeeder GOP hacks can understand this and we cannot?

[iconoclastic cat]

16. Exactly!

[Bluebear]

29. That is their playbook! nt

[Triana]

14. Pretentious Hypocrisy is the Hallmark of Republicans (n/t)

[Bluebear]

15. And our Democratic leaders buy right into it like idiots. n/t

[Vinca]

18. You're exactly right.

It seems they can say anything, but we're supposed to make nice 24/7.

[Ksec]

19. Forced apologies are a sign of weakness nt

[AlCzervik]

21. Blue, didn't you see the lastest meeting mintues from

The Dept. of manufactured outrage? It's in the same building as "the office of righteous indignation"

[Bluebear]

23. Chairman....

[radar]

22. A couple links about the topic...

Questions of hypocrisy in Republican attacks on senator who raised Nazis in Guantanamo comparison

[Kazak]

24. Didn't Santorum compare Dem senators to Hitler recently?

I could'a sworn...

[aden_nak]

25. It's okay to do if you are a Republican.

What country are you from? ;)

[Ksec]

26. We need to learn how to phrase an insult so

they cant twist it into us insulting the soldiers. We need to say something like."republicans are Nazis" instead of " the troops are looking like Nazis doing the Pres's bidding"

[Bluebear]

28. Exactly! Get with the program! n/t

[gulliver]

37. This is the valid argument of the bunch, IMO.

It needs to be a Senator or other Republican leader breaking the Nazi taboo. Yahoos like Ann Coulter and Rush Drugstore can say anything they want.

[trogdor]

27. Go post at military.com for awhile.

It's nominally nonpartisan, but the right-wingers have the run of the house while non RW'ers have to be polite. I've already been banninated twice for not bending over. I bring up their double standard, and what do they do? The invoke DU, as if that's relevant. mil.com claims no partisan leaning, nor do they want to be known as Free Republic Lite, yet "liberals" (usual Fox News definition applies here) get shat on with regularity.

The good news is, you don't get banninated right away, so you can get a few good licks in. How's about a few of you go over there and help me out.

[Guaranteed]

31. NICE FUCKING CATCH. nt

[Bluebear]

33. Of course, they wouldn't think so.

IOKIYAR!

[moondust]

34. And all that Ann Coulter verbal sewage.

Books full of it! But that's okay, no problem, one snake's opinion.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

38. Yeah but which big Republican politician ever used those terms in public?

None.

People all over the internet (and in protests) compare Bush to Hitler, yet nobody is asking them to "kowtow and backtrack".

[TorchTheWitch]

39. None? How's THIS for "none"!

Grover Norquist - "The Nazis were for gun control, the Nazis were for high marginal tax rates.... Do you want to talk about who's closer politically to national socialism, the Right or the Left?"

Senator Jeff Sessions - "We certainly have all seen the rejections of Nazi Germany's abuses of science" (re: his oposition to stem cell research)

Congressman Steve King - "That, Mr. Speaker, is a ‘modern-day’ equivalent of the Nazi prison guard saying 'I was just following orders,’...It was all legal in Nazi Germany at the time." (re: his rsponse to following law on reproductive rights)

Senator James Inhofe - "would deal a powerful blow on the whole humanity similar to the one humanity experienced when Nazism and communism flourished." (re: his oposition to Kyoto)

Congressman Tom Cole - "Republican Congressman Tom Cole claims a vote against the ‘re-election’ of President Bush is like supporting Adolph Hitler during World War Two...It's what he said recently before a meeting of Canadian County Republicans." (statement on KTOK radio in Oklahoma)

Sen. Phil Gramm - "Now, forgive me, but that is right out of Nazi Germany. I don't understand ... why all of a sudden we are passing laws that sound as if they are right out of Nazi Germany." (re: his response on the Democratic tax plan)

Sen. Rick Santorum - "Imagine, the rule that this is the way we confirm judges has been in place for 214 years, broken by the other side 2 years ago, and the audacity of some Members to stand up and say, How dare you break this rule, it is the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in 1942 saying: I'm in Paris, how dare you invade me, how dare you bomb my city. It's mine." (re: his statement during the fillibuster battle last month)

I'd hardly call this impressive list "none". The media gave all these a pass on THEIR Natzisms/Holocaust references... because they came out of Repuke mouths.

[Bluebear]

41. An excellent list. Yet WE have to apologize. n/t

[SeveneightyWhoa]

43. Sorry, what I meant was the ones referring to Hillary Clinton.

Like "Hitlery", or perhaps "FemiNazi". Should've said that in my post.

[TWiley]

40. Evidently, Democratic leadership needs to SLURP Republicrud ass

every so often. Some are obsessed with the moronic idea that we must always be nice good people who are accomplis in Republican crime by covering it up, or not talking about it.

Lord knows that one should never ever tell the truth about the evil Sith. It would be rude.
