Biased much, Politico? "Class warfare returns to Washington", indeed!

But when it comes to paying for them, Obama’s creative juices seemed to run dry as he turned Thursday to his party’s most predictable revenue enhancer: taxing the wealthy....

And right on cue, Obama defended his $1.3 trillion in tax hikes over 10 years (sic) with a little class warfare....

Thus far, the president has managed fairly successfully to use fresh rhetoric to produce a makeover of what is essentially an old Democratic agenda....

But no amount of spin or recalibration could fuzz up the flashback to previous Democratic administration’s fiscal policy when Obama unveiled his spending plan.

Mercifully, the paragraphs are short, so four of them might not make you :puke: all night... Yahoo!, please, pretty please with sugar on top, stop redistributing this tripe.

3. Aw, c'mon. Stinky's got it right. Don't give 'em air.

More to the point, don't give 'em clicks.

4. Haven't we been taught that war is legitimate when an enemy invades?

You mean flashback to a healthy economy and a budget surplus? That flashback?

5. Yeah, it's funny how it's only called "class warfare" when the target is the super wealthy.

Wealth's constant push to undermine the middle class is just called a "new economy" or something similarly meaningless. I wish we had politicians who would speak as plainly about class as FDR did. Show these greed head fuckwits what class war really looks like.

8. It's only class warfare when we fight back

When the government is shoveling the contents of the Treasury as fast as it can into the pockets of the uberclass, you don't hear a peep out of the good people at Politico. But when some of that "of the people, by the people and for the people" stuff creeps in, even a little bit, it's rampant socialism!

6. The next conservative douche nozzle who uses that phrase...

Should have his house burned to the ground, his family murdered, and his head stuck on a pike.

Now THAT'S a fucking class war.

7. Wonkette reported (not sure if it's true)

the other day that Politico jack asses like Jonathan Martin get paid a surprisingly lump sum...so it figures. I saw that headline to, and was like "Oh, politico. You never disappoint."

9. "Class warfare" is what the wealthy cry

when they realize they are out-numbered.

11. But It's NEVER Class Warfare When

But it's never 'class warfare' when it's waged from the top DOWN!
