Keep it classy FDL, Jane Hamsher calls Obama supporters "dumbest motherfuckers in the world"

[wndycty]

The firebagger crowd is so frickin shameless:

Hey, it’s better than Joan Walsh’s favorite term: Obamalovers

Keep your eye on Firedoglake, people. That ship is sinking fast. Jane Hamsher is suffering stage 5 Obama Derangement Syndrome. It’s so bad that she is now ignoring what Democratic aides have reported regarding Obama’s meeting with Cantor, and is sucking the milk from Cantor’s teat:
-snip-

"You gotta feel sorry for the guy. His most ardent supporters are the dumbest motherfuckers in the world, and they don’t realize he thinks they are digging his political grave."

At this point, Jane Hamsher is a parody of herself. She spews whatever brain jizz happens to be coagulating in her mind directly into the faces of her sycophants, and they lap that shit up like their only dream in life is to play the role of Hamsher PermaFluffer. I mean, it’s downright comical.


Obama raises 86 million bucks much to the chagrin of firebaggers everywhere and he’s got rock solid support from his base, and Hamsher obviously cannot stand it. (For fuck’s sake, how will she ever help Ron Paul get elected with the Obama Juggernaut running roughshod over everything in its path?)

In short, Obama is driving Hamsher fucking nuts, and it’s really fun to watch.

4. A completely fallacious comment which demonstrates a lack of critical thinking skills.

The comment could be viewed as hypocritical, since it demonstrates Hamsher's own intellectual weakness. Though one fallacious comment does not make someone the "the dumbest motherfucker in the world."

Hamsher may have other fallacious comments; this is just the only one I am currently aware of.

[Theo Haffey]

5. Misleading thread headline

She used the label for President Obama's "most ardent supporters."

Not all Obama supporters are "his most ardent" supporters. It's like saying that all Americans are the tallest Americans.

Is she talking about a very small number of supporters? The OP doesn't does not seem to care.

[wndycty]

6. No need to correct the headline. . .enjoy your nitpicking

:kick:

[Theo Haffey]

7. "Obama's most ardent supporters"

Is not close to being his "supporters." I repeat, not even close. Nitpicking would occur if both groups were similar.

19. So she's only referring to his 20 million or so most ardent supporters?

That does narrow it down a bit.

[Theo Haffey]

89. Where did you get 20 million from?

?

[ProSense]

12. Misleading headline?

Hamsher has lost her mind. Speaking of "dumbest motherfuckers in the world," Hamsher conflates the claim that McConnell blinked with supporting McConnell's deal.

<...>

The irony is that the Obamabots are so out of touch with who Obama is and what he wants they don’t realize that by cheering for the McConnell deal, and his prowess in making McConnell “blink,” it amounts to twisting the knife for him. It makes it impossible for him to reject the deal the end — which empowers the GOP to hold out.

<...>

Not only is she wrong in her characterization of what the President's "most ardent supporters" are cheering, but also the word "ardent" is a throwaway since most Democrats have been cheering the fact that McConnell blinked.

The President has made no indication that he is willing to punt on this. In fact, the only thing about McConnell's deal that's worth considering is the fact that he finally admitted the debt ceiling should be raised.

To quote Pelosi:

“What Leader McConnell has put on the table recognizes that we must pass” a debt increase, Pelosi said. “So it has that merit in that it says what are we talking about here: We have to pass this. And let’s talk about the others things that are going on.”

Hamsher is simply making up shit to attack the President and anyone who supports him.

Still, you seem to agree with her characterization if it refers only to "most ardent supporters."

[jefferson_dem]

33. Hamsher's public existence is misleading.

How anyone doesn't yet see through her trollish ploys is beyond me.

[SoFlaJet]

96. Oh you mean Grover Norquist's buddy girl

Jane?

[Kahuna]

10. I hope Lawrence O'Donnell has her on to rip her to shreds. nt

[CakeGrrl]

13. She's a vile, divide-and-conquer poseur. This is right in character for her.

What more can you expect from someone who was busted feeding the Tea Party the vote results during the HCR debate, who referred to efforts to solicit a Dem HCR vote as "Urban Thuggery", and used blackface to try to make a point?

Poor thing seems to have an advanced case of Obama Derangement Syndrome. Hopefully it worsens.

[AtomicKitten]

14. Good lord what a horrible woman.

Her cerebral cortex has been eaten away by her bitterness.

[RBInMaine]

16. Hamsher is a bony-assed bigmouth who has never had to govern a damn thing. She can piss up a rope.

[kiranon]

17. Happy to say I have no idea who Jane Hamsher is. n/t

[RBInMaine]

20. She's the bony-assed radical bigmouth of Firedog Lake who got in bed with Grover Norquist.

[CrossChris]

24. Right, because Fannie & Freddie weren't being investigated due to Rahm's WH gig

Did we ever investigate Fannie & Freddie?

[banned from Kos]

29. For what? For being stupid? Some of the execs polished the financials

and they were investigated.

But FNM/FRE themselves followed the free market off the sub-prime cliff.

[Ignis]

78. "bony-assed"

We should certainly judge the merits of others' political arguments based on their bodies.

In other news, Michael Moore is a FAT FAT FATTY and we shouldn't listen to anything he says!

22. And no one has displayed more class & restraint than Hamsher bashers.

I have to wonder how some of the women on this board feel to hear such language thrown at her.

[CakeGrrl]

23. As I said over on another thread

Another DU member called me a POS and got away with it. The point being, it gets to fly on this forum.

While I don't feel it was in any way warranted, I don't have a problem calling out ugly, shit-disturbing behavior by people no matter their gender.

[Kahuna]

25. The gender card? What does gender have to do with it? If she can

dish it, she can take it.

[Ignis]

79. How many male pundits do you see described as "bony-assed?"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=433x710638#710701

I'd say the gender card is already in play.

[jefferson_dem]

34. Do her "blackface" references make you proud?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

46. Unless that language is gender-specific, it's not misogynistic.

Her being a woman doesn't excuse her from being criticized. In fact, assuming that a woman is too fragile to handle fair, non-sexist criticism is actually quite sexist in and of itself.

[BklnDem75]

50. Is that your stance?

Hamsher's a woman so she's too fragile to be criticized?

[Number23]

83. I'm a warm, cuddly woman and I support calling Hamsher out for exactly

the racist, vile, asshole that she is! :thumbsup:

[lunatica]

26. Dear Jane Hamsher

Do you want to know what I think of what you think?

[banned from Kos]

27. Didn't Jane Hamsher marry Grover Norquist?

politically speaking, of course.

[CrossChris]

37. Is everyone who goes up against Rahm politically married? B/c we'd have some strange bedfellows here

Hamsher isn't the only one on the left who agrees w/ Norquist on investigating malfeasance from Rahm's old gig.

[alcibiades_mystery]

28. Her shit should just be banned here, period

Talk about a useless piece of shit who does nothing but cause flame wars.

The woman is deranged.

[flamingdem]

30. Jane is a clown beeping her red nose for attention nt

[Kahuna]

35. BINGO!!! Best comment yet!

:applause:

[flamingdem]

58. lol !

:silly:

[Swede]

60. Exactly so.

[jefferson_dem]

31. If only I took Hamsher's spew serious enough to be angry...

She's a one-woman clownshow.

[ClarkUSA]

32. Just another spittle-stained Obama hating PUMA. She helps Republicans via her media company to boot.

PUMA Jane Hamsher is no liberal; she and the rest of FDL were huge DLC Royal Hillary cheerleaders in 2008. Like so many other PUMAs, she never got over Barack Obama beating Hillary and winning it all. PUMA Jane Hamsher's whole grandstanding media whoring schtick is so stupidly transparent: attacking President Obama from the left when she's just a sore loser obsessive who is ugly inside and out. She has the same sensibilities of teabaggers, whom she courted to join her in defeating HCR, along with Grover Norquist. How anyone can see her as a liberal isn't paying attention to her actions during the past three years.

[CrossChris]

36. Nice try-she has been consistenly on the progressive side of the issues, including going after Rahm.

Which is the thing she and Grover Norquist collaborated on. They wanted the stonewalling of Fannie & Freddie investigations to cease.

I do, too.

[ClarkUSA]

39. Bullshit. If PUMA Jane is such a "progressive" then why did she support DLC Hillary in 2008?

And why did PUMA Jane go on Faux News with Grover Norquist sitting smiling next to her and make a public plea for teabaggers to join her in killing HCR?

Also, why does she offer to help Republican clients via her media company?

No real progressive would have done any of these things. PUMA Jane is as fake as a three-dollar bill and she's counting on political amnesiacs to ignore her actions.

Obama supporters like me are on to the dumb motherfucker media whore.

[banned from Kos]

42. Agree 100%. I also support the President - he will join the top 10

of all time in the end.

I wish he would lighten up on the failed War on Drugs but I can't complain overall.

65. Why would a DLC PUMA outflank Obama to the left on so many issues? You have no proof. It's silly.

These attacks look really silly.

[ClarkUSA]

93. Why would right-wing trolls funded by the Koch Brothers do the same thing on progressive websites?

[okasha]

66. Probably because Hillary's positions

were consistently to the left of Obama's during the primaries. They now appear to be much further to the left than Obama's current positions.

[BklnDem75]

68. LOL!

Obliterating Iran is sooo much further to the left. :crazy:

[okasha]

69. Supporting and carrying out three wars is soooo much further to the left.

Issuing assassination orders against American citizens is sooo much further to the left.

Desperately trying to salvage DADT is soooo much further to the left.

Passing the Heritage Foundation's insurance giveaway is sooo much further to the left.

Extending the Bush tax cuts is soooo much further to the left.

The anti-woman provisions of the so called Health care reform are soooo much further to the left.

Failure to "put on his comfy shoes" and support Wisconsin workers is soooo much further to the left.

Failure to present any effective job creation program is soooo much further to the left.


I could go on, but you get the picture. (Or maybe you don't.)

[BklnDem75]

70. Fact free opinions? Please go on

I love comedy in the morning

76. Indeed you are.

Psssst--Iran is still there.

[BklnDem75]

80. Guess you missed the part where she says...

If I'm elected President.

[okasha]

88. And she wasn't--

And there's a lot more Iraqi, Afghan, Pakistani and assorted other women, children and innocent bystanders who aren't there because Obama has kept the Bush wars ginning right along, Predator drones, mercenaries, botched assassinations and all.

In any case, the threat was simply a move in fourteen-dimensional chess.

[BklnDem75]

103. Whatever dimension it was...

she lost that game.

[Ikonoklast]

81. All hypotheticals as DLC member Hillary Clinton did not get elected president.

But, she certainly DID want to bomb Iran.

[ClarkUSA]

94. Bullshit. DLC Hillary wanted to "obliterate Iran" and voted for Kyl-Lieberman.

SoS Hillary sided w/Gen. McChrystal on a 80K troop surge for 10+ years.

She also sided with Gates (against Pres. Obama's much larger drawdown) on a very small troop drawdown in Afghanistan.

[NorthCarolina]

85. What a load. Is Obama any less "DLC" than Hillary? I think not. n/t

[ClarkUSA]

92. President Obama rejected all DLC overtures while a Senator and has never been a member.

[NorthCarolina]

87. You act as though Obama is not DLC. Isn't it obvious that Obama got the nod from TPTB

because they were sure he would not shrink from cuts to entitlement programs, whereas Hillary was not so safe a gamble for them.

[ClarkUSA]

91. Prove that Barack Obama was ever a member of the DLC.

[NorthCarolina]

97. Here you go....

Barak Obama 3-10-2009: “I am a New Democrat,” he {Obama} told the New Democrat Coalition, according to two sources at the White House session.

The group is comprised of centrist Democratic members of the House.


From Wikipedia:

The New Democrat Coalition was founded in 1997 by Representatives Cal Dooley (California), Jim Moran (Virginia) and Timothy J. Roemer (Indiana) as a congressional affiliate of the avowedly centrist Democratic Leadership Council, whose members, including former President Bill Clinton, call themselves "New Democrats." As of July 2009, the House New Democrats are chaired by Representative Joseph Crowley (New York), with Vice-Chairs Representatives Melissa Bean (Illinois), Ron Kind (Wisconsin), Allyson Schwartz (Pennsylvania) and Adam Smith ( Washington), who also serves as chair of the group's political action committee.

The Senate New Democrat Coalition was founded in the spring of 2000 by Senators Evan Bayh (Indiana), Bob Graham (Florida), Mary Landrieu (Louisiana), Joe Lieberman (Connecticut), and Blanche Lincoln (Arkansas).<2>

The NDC has worked to craft and pass legislation, including Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) for the People's Republic of China, fast track Trade Promotion Authority, digital signatures, and H-1B visa reform and continues to work on matters such as privacy, broadband, expanding e-learning opportunities and making government more accessible and efficient through the use of technology. Many in the Democratic Party's left-wing criticize the group, however, accusing it of ignoring social justice and the poor.

Nuff said......

[ClarkUSA]

98. That's 100% unsubstantiated hearsay. FACT: Barack Obama was never a member of the DLC.

Furthermore, he rejected the New Democrats aka. the DLC:

“I am not currently, nor have I ever been, a member of the DLC,” said Obama, in a statement that substantially reflects a telephone conversation with Associate Editor Bruce Dixon, this weekend.

http://www.blackcommentator.com/48/48_cover.html

Ben Smith of Politico knows this fact:

"The DLC sought for a time to identify itself with Obama's message and his campaign, but found itself relatively unwelcome there and the final move cements its place as a central force in Clintonism and the Clinton historical record."

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0711/DLC_records_to_Clinton_Foundation.html

[NorthCarolina]

99. LOL...yeah...whatever. He decalred himself to be a New Democrat

which as you can see from Wikipedia is what DLC members identify themselves as. Even without that proof, his politics and appointments are that of a DLC New Dem as well. Are you anti-DLC? Curious why you would go to such great lengths to attempt to disprove the obvious.

[ClarkUSA]

100. Do you always believe second hand source hearsay over direct quotes from Obama himself?

Figures. :sarcasm:

This is a direct quote which proves Barack Obama rejected the New Democrats aka. the DLC:

“I am not currently, nor have I ever been, a member of the DLC,” said Obama, in a statement that substantially reflects a telephone conversation with Associate Editor Bruce Dixon, this weekend.

48. Sorry, Jane. YOU are the only one I feel sorry for.

It must suck to be you, you bitter, old thing.

[NorthCarolina]

49. LOL. The covert attacks on Liberals here on DU is comical in that the motivation is so obvious. n/t

[CakeGrrl]

51. If you're worried about "attacks on Liberals",

You should have more of a problem with Hamsher's ugly tactic of pitting a segment of Dems against other Dems.

A true "Liberal" wouldn't feel the need to do that.

A Republican-enabling shill certainly would.

[NorthCarolina]

52. The Dems she is referring to are not "Democrats" in the traditional sense.

I believe she is talking about the Third-Way New Dems (aka DLC), and with that she is accurate. It's more of a pitting Dems against conservative Dems, and I see no issue with that.

[CakeGrrl]

53. Yeah, OK.

Whatever definition allows her to get away with her screed. Some of you go to interesting lengths to defend her bashing.

[NorthCarolina]

54. Some of you go to interesting lengths to bash her. Works both ways my friend. n/t

[CakeGrrl]

57. There's no effort involved here. She puts it on the table.

If I had ever cast my lot behind her as a champion of Progressive causes, I'd not have much to say about her escalating shrillness. Hers are not the words of positive championing. She's down to flamethrowing.

[ClarkUSA]

56. That's odd, because PUMA Jane supported a Third Way New Dem (aka DLC Hillary) for President in 2008.

No, like most PUMAs, she just hates anything to do with Obama and his supporters are a prime target because we see right through her phony "progressive" act, in light of the fact she is helping Republicans via her media company and has allied herself with Grover Norquist and teabaggers to defeat Democratic legislation. That should tell you something about what her real divide-and-conquer strategy is.

[Kahuna]

61. Oh please. Neither jane or you get to define what "real" Democrats are. nt

[NorthCarolina]

63. Actually you are wrong. I can choose to define them any way I prefer. You don't have to agree.

Either way, I'm quite sure however that the majority of Democratic voters do not consider third-way conserva-Dems, you know - the ones more than willing to put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block, to be "real" Democrats.

[Kahuna]

64. When you do, you define it for yourself alone. You cannot speak

for the Democrats as a whole. No one gave you that authority. PERIOD.

[DCBob]

55. Lacking a sound logical argument one often reverts to profanity.

angry perverse totallly clueless lady.

[Hutzpa]

59. "she is sucking the milk from Cantor's teat" zinger

what else is left to say but to... :rofl:

[ChrisBorg]

67. You are hardly the arbiter of class.

"She spews whatever brain jizz happens to be coagulating in her mind directly into the faces of her sycophants, and they lap that shit up like their only dream in life is to play the role of Hamsher PermaFluffer."

Perhaps you should back away from the porn for a moment or 2 before trying to determine one's classiness.

[wndycty]

74. LOL er uh. . .OK. . .BTW I didn't write that.

75. Exactly. Amazing is it not?

77. Aww, pooooooor Jane!

I think if she can dish out the spew, she oughta be able to take it.

Politics is tough, yeah?

[Bobbie Jo]

82. Yes.

She had no qualms aligning with teabaggers, etc....

[davidpdx]

84. Hamsher is a Republican and is a mouth piece for Republicans to attack Obama

It's pretty sick because anyone who attacks her would be called sexist.

[Cereal Kyller]

86. "...sucking the milk from Cantor's teat"?

Thank you: That mental imagery will prevent me from sleeping till mid-August. :puke:
