Norquist’s Advice For Bush On Iraq: Make Groups Like MoveOn Look ‘More Extreme’

[MagickMuffin]

In an interview with The Hill, Norquist says that he will tell Rove to change President Bush’s rhetoric:

“The one-paragraph explanation of what we’re doing in Iraq has to have the word ‘leaving’ in there,” said Grover Norquist, a conservative leader and the head of Americans for Tax Reform. “If Bush would move to ‘leaving,’ then other people, including the MoveOn.org people and the , move to a more extreme position than you have, because they have put themselves in the anti-Bush position.”

Norquist…said Bush should reject a timeline and instead emphasize that he expects “fewer” troops in the region. If the administration changes nothing, it will allow Democrats to charge that the strategy isn’t working, which resonates with the public, added Norquist.

1. I guess I'm a fucking extremist grover

Extremists want our kids to stop dying for a lie. Extremists want the fucking president to tell the truth and stop hiding behind executive privilege. Extremists want our wounded soldiers to be given the best care available and our active duty troops to get a pay raise at least as equal to what military retirees get. Call me a fucking extremist. I call you someone who does not deserve his citizenship.

2. The extremist label is supposed to excite the ignorant trash base?

limbaugh, norquist, krystol, fox news exists because of the ignorant trash in this country. And grover wants to sexually arouse them by labeling a fine organization extremist? Can it possibly suck more being a conservative in America today?

3. Whatever it is that MoveOn is doing is the good and right thing. How do I know?

Because the reich is so damn scared of it. I always make an effort to donate to whichever group they mention most in their hate propaganda for the quarter.

It must be terrible, constantly living in fear like that...

4. Not only are they the EXTREMIST, they are the WELFARE QUEENS

Grover has been sucking at the governments tit for years now. If he can abuse the system then the "small" government works for him. But if it is to benefit anyone else then by ALL means "drown the government in the bathtub", after all we all know who abusing the government hand outs the most....


Here's another article about Grover I was reading earlier. It will make your blood boil.

Big Government Grover and the Fund Manager Subsidy
by Dean Baker
Political activist Grover Norquist has been one of the right-wing’s most forceful voices over the last two decades. Along with Newt Gingrich, he was one of the main architects of the Republican takeover of Congress in 1994. His track record makes him a powerful voice on the right. His name sparks fear in the hearts of many on the left.

One of Norquist’s current causes is the protection of the tax subsidy enjoyed by the managers of hedge funds and private equity funds. While people with middle class jobs like teachers and firefighters typically pay a 25 percent tax rate, and higher-paid professionals like doctors and lawyers pay a 35 percent rate, fund managers are taxed at just a 15 percent rate on their earnings.

This special deal is the result of the fund manager tax break that applies a lower tax rate on compensation earned by the people who manage hedge funds and private equity funds than on other wage income. As a result, these fund managers, many of whom earn more than $100 million a year, and some who earn more than $1 billion a year, pay a lower tax rate than a school teacher earning $50,000 a year. It is important to realize this lower tax rate is applied to the money they earn as a manager. The tax code already applies a lower 15 percent tax rate to investment income, including investment income from money that fund managers actually invest in their funds.

5. Hasn't This Dog Been Hunted Before???

I recall all the rukus in the run-up to the '06 elections...all about those "radicals" at MoveOn and how Soros controlled them and the universe...and Kos was sending talking points to all the blogs and blah blah blah.

Yep, it's more red meat for the dwindling kool-aid drinkers...affirmation for the braindead and pablum for money laundering fund raising scams.
