DNC: Republicans Now Oppose Hard Work And Staying In School


The Democratic National Committee’s political hits on Republicans have taken on a fairly hard mocking edge this cycle, a combination of the large victory last fall and the addition of operatives like Brad Woodhouse and Hari Sevugan to run DNC messaging.

In this vein, Sevugan sends over a typical statement mocking the conservative, er, argument that Obama’s speech to kids will indocrinate them with socialism by reminding people that Obama intends to stress school and hard work:

“What this absurd episode shows is that the GOP can in fact come up with new ideas. For example, it’s now clear that the new Republican education platform will argue against personal responsibility, hard work and staying in school.”

White House press sec Robert Gibbs also was forced to address this at today’s briefing, another sign of the surprising traction and serious treatment this latest conservative claim is getting from the mainstream press.

Separately, MSNBC’s Chuck Todd addressed this today, rightly pointing out that this traction really does belie the claim of a liberal media. But he also added this: “The ability of some conservatives to create media firestorms is still much greater than liberals these days.”

This blog loves Todd, but still, this is an argument that’s very hard to comprehend, because Todd is pretty well positioned to, you know, have an impact on what becomes a media firestorm and what doesn’t.

1. Dems are mocking Repubs because I don't ever recall a time in my life when Repubs were so ridiculous

Michael Steele alone is a barrel of laughs. Did you see it looked like he segregated the Howard U students?

2. They are ridiculous, and the "media" is giving them all the time in the

world to show us that. Maybe in the long run it will be a good thing.

3. The Party of Dum (purposely left off the "b" because they're too dumb to spell it correctly)
