I 've looked everywhere, but can someone confirm whether or not Robert Gibbs

[hedgehog]

rolled his eyes and made faces while discussing the professional left?

1. Hell, I don't even know who the "professional left" are!

Do you?

[provis99]

11. simple. If you "profess" to being "left", you are a Gibbs target.

He means liberals who pay more attention to politics than the average voter. Namely, liberals who blog on the internet and such.

[Herr Garbitsch]

2. What if he did?

I don't understand why everyone's getting so excited about this.

[Bluebear]

4. 'I don't understand why everyone's getting so excited about this.' - Oh really now.

[Herr Garbitsch]

7. Oh really now

Are you getting excited about it? I'm not.

Tell me why you're getting so excited about it.

8. Because it was purposeful and tactful and it wasn't just Gibbs...

as it is easy to see on DU today. Gibbs made his statement and his sycophants came out in droves to make sure anyone who dared feel a bit insulted by what he said was made to feel like they should just shut the fuck up and get out of the party.

Then in November they will stand there blaming everyone but themselves, and scratching their heads, wondering why this tiny minority of 6-12%(according to DU'ers) of liberals cost them seats in the election.

9. "made to feel like they should just shut the fuck up and get out of the party"

Links, please?

On the contrary, today has seemed to be a mega-orgy of outrage over one comment. By a subordinate of Obama's. The top four Greatest Page threads, and at least 25 threads on this page alone, howling over his comment.

Wow.

One would think he killed somebody.

[walldude]

12. You need a link? If you need a link then you will never see it.

Because it's everywhere and if you haven't seen it yet then you never will. To make matters worse if someone complains about it they are told they are "clueless" or in your case "it's just an offhand comment by a subordinate" or they are in a "pity party" or they didn't get their pony or whatever new fucking lame talking point is out there today.

From my perspective, the administration which was happy to take my money and my time and my vote has called me a "fucking retard" and told me I need to get off the drugs. I'd say my outrage is quite justified.

10. "Them"? What will it cost *you* in 2012? n/t

3. I imagine it is hard

for a person to roll eyes or make faces when their head is up their ass.

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. Or at least it's hard for us to see if they are.

[Mac1949]

6. Gibbs is doing his other job. That is to sidetrack criticism

from Obama onto himself. Seems to be doing it quite well too.:think:

13. I really wanted to spend the day compalining about Sarah Palin

verbally attacking a school teacher, but then that's just me.
