I've got CSPAN on right now...
Edited on Fri Sep-10-10 02:25 PM by MrScorpio
And they showed a live conference of right wingers talking about the "Future of the Conservative Movement".

I have absolutely no idea what they're saying, because I have the sound turned off and I'm listening to music.

But there are a few things that I've observed:

- 95% of these motherfuckers are older than dirt. I bet most of them are drawing Social Security and pensions.

- 99% of them are white.. Except for some Urkel looking asshole who graduated out his bow tie phase.

- Self-importance is a hallmark: "Senior Fellow of Conservative Thought", or some such bullshit... Are they serious?

- There's not one single woman or person of color on the speaker's table... No surprise there.

Conservatives... Oh boy

1. Myths of the Conservative movement..
I heard "Reagan" 2 seconds after tuning in.

Reagan, the man who would be banned from today's GOP.

4. Most TV is better with the sound turned off -
with the exception of sports. Even then some days ...

5. That isn't the future of the Conservative Movement
It's the present. Old, white, self-centered jerks.

6. Typical C-SPIN
Every weekend it seems they have some other right wing hate fast they're covering. They rarely offer such "conferences" of left wing groups...totally ignored Netroots Nation last year.

The Brian Lamb legacy...
