Who is Joe Walsh? Another TOAD calling the President a liar |
|
What is it with Republicans and the gross disrespect being shown by some of their minions to this president of the United States of America.
Just saw a clip where this toad was calling Obama a liar, checked and he has it on his website, (will not link to his site as I do not want to send traffic over there)
Has anyone seen anything like this?

13. Exactly. He is my representative. |
|
I have seen the people he hangs out with. One has a giant sticker on the back of his pickup that shows the twin towers on fire and says, "Everything I need to know about Islam I learned on 9-11."
The company he keeps....

4. He showed gross disrespect? He didn't describe Obama as "fucking retarded", did he? |
|
Edited on Wed Jul-13-11 04:19 PM by Divernan
THAT would be what I call showing gross disrespect - especially when directed at your own supporters and members of your own political party.
So, in answer to your question, yes, I have seen gross disrespect shown - by Rahm Emanuel to progressive Democrats.

8. And which idea would that be? Got a link to back up your statement? |

Edited on Wed Jul-13-11 04:38 PM by Divernan
And once you provide it, I think it can be shown that Rahm said something along the lines of "anyone who thinks like that is fucking retarded", or "It's fucking retarded to think like that." Which is close enough to calling the person who proposes a particular belief or thought, fucking retarded. And you proceed along exactly the same path by calling an idea proposed by progressives to be "dumbass".
You have such negative feelings toward progressives, that even on DU, you couldn't state that Rahm was disagreeing with a policy point of view. You had to throw in the label "dumbass".
Here's what I found: White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel earned a trip to the pillory this week after a Wall Street Journal story reported that he had used forbidden language last summer in a strategy session with liberal groups and White House aides. Emanuel, who knows his way around obscene, venomous, and cruel language called one idea presented at the session "Fucking retarded."
Have a nice day, dear!

This is so old, and he wasn't talking about Sarah Palin's baby, or any real person. If progressives got their feelings hurt over this, I'm going to quit saying I'm progressive.

24. You are distorting facts to fuel your victim mentality grudge-holding. |
|
Clearly the fact that Rahm Emanuel wasn't talking about you or anybody else (he was talking about the expenditure of money in a primary challenge) makes little difference to you, so I won't bother explaining it to you. Rage on with the fire of a thousand suns.

He didn't call anyone "fucking retarded".
He called a strategy that MoveOn was planning to employ during the HCR debate "fucking retarded". Whether you agree with him or not, you have to completely ignore the context of the quote to get "Rahm Emanuel thinks all liberals are retards!" from "This plan you've devised is fucking retarded".
Geez, what happened to being the party of critical thinking and context? Oh, right--it went out the window in the interest of "my guy didn't win so I have to pick on the guy who did".

19. His district has been redesigned. |
|
He cannot run in the new one since he no longer lives in it. Part of his current one will go to Tammy Duckworth if we work hard enough.

and he thinks he has earned the right to call the president a liar.
Just as Magistrate so eloquently puts it, why show respect to a negro.
