We have met the enemy…

Posted by   Published in WTF

…and it is eleven-year-old girls who ask questions at Presidential town hall meetings.

Clearly, the next step for this eleven-year-old girl is that she will become a Muslim terrorist. She must be stopped before she kills again for the first time!

Any moment know, I expect Michelle Malkin’s face to explode and for a mob of stop-motion rat puppets to come pouring out, like in a Terry Gilliam film.

Remember this is the same woman who stalked a 12-year-old under state health care and decided his parents really shouldn’t qualify for it because they had marble countertops. There is no depth to which she won’t sink to enforce the party line.

This is pretty much the only way the Republicans’ Far Right Wing operates anymore: attack lie attack lie some more attack attack attack. The politics of personal destruction, and its the only bag of tricks they’ve got left. The other bag is their supply of C4.

An Obama supporter takes her child to an Obama event? He gets friendly questions from his supporters? Suspicious! Must be orchestrated from the very highest level!

@Sean: You know there ARE Rockefeller Republicans left, even if their own party calls the “RiNOs.”

I’ll tell this brief story because it deals with both wingnuts attacking moderates and health care:

I used to work with the North Carolina legislature and back in 2007 a bill was introduced to update and codify the portable health care power of attorney laws. This is the legal document that describes those “end of life” decisions that have somehow morphed into “Death Panels!”

Anyway, a senior Republican State Senator, who also chaired one of the two senate judiciary committees (he is a well respected lawyer), sponsored the bill in the NC Senate. He did this partially because he thought it was good policy and partially because his father had just died and the Senator, despite being both the holder of the health care POA and a politically connected member of the NC legislature, could not get his father’s end of care wished followed.

The process of that bill was maybe the nastiest I’ve ever seen. Misinformation (the same “doctors will have to kill their eldery patients!” bullshit. One woman told me she knew that NCDHHS was waiting to clear out nursing homes of patients as soon as the bill was effective), distortion, and threats both political and otherwise (a catholic priest actually spoke in committee and told legisators that if they voted for the bill they would be going to hell). The State Senator actually broke down in tears in during the final committee meeting on the legisation. And this guy was one of the most calm, level headed legislators I’d ever known.

The bill passed and was signed (after another campaign to go get the Governor to veto the bill). That was 2 years ago and we haven’t seen mass graves of euthanized seniors.

Anyway, this is getting a lot longer than I meant it to, but I want to say there are adult, responsible elected Republicans out there, and they get attacked from the fringe crazies with as much bile as anyone else.

I’m a little confused about what I just read. A little kid asks a question and Obama answers. Okay. This is suspect somehow? I’m sorry, my brain just refuses to accept that this person is actually arguing that this is all some conspiracy simply because the kid’s mom is an Obama supporter.

“Now that I think about it… how does the Church of Scientology generally vote…?”

Last year there were some leaked CoS documents in which Florida Scientologists were being told how to vote in either the primaries or the general election, I forget which. Either way, the CoS’ preferred candidate was Ron Paul.

John:

Interesting story to here. Throws this all into a new light to see that this is a tested strategy of theirs.

My question is, after reading that, though, where ARE the red dogs? The centrist Republicans who aren’t shilling the party line and do want to see certain reforms happen? They have to be there.

Anyone else notice that one of the highlighted links is to a website named AR15.COM. To clarify for those who don not know, the AR-15 is the civillian version of the M-16 (piece of shit) assualt rifle.

They’re not called “red dogs”, but neo-cons and the current Republican leadership usually refer to them as “RINOs”, “Republicans In Name Only”. Senator Arlen Specter had come under that kind of abuse, hence his party switch. Former Rhode Island Senator Lincoln Chafee is another. Semi-libertarian former Massachusetts Governor William Weld. Congressman Christopher Shays, currently the only Republican member of the House of Representatives in all of New England, against whom Ann Coulter wanted to run a third-party campaign in 2000 — as he voted against the Clinton impeachment, she wanted him punished by splitting the vote to cause him to lose that election; Maine U. S. Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins. Essentially any Republican who doesn’t toe the neo-conservative, fundamentalist Protestant Christian Statist line is a potential target for this.

(Of all people to be called Republican In Name Only, the most ridiculous would have to be libertarian/paleo-conservative Barry Goldwater who received this abuse shortly before he died, for denouncing the hold the “social conservatives” — the Christian Statists I mentioned above — had on his party.)

Many of the “Blue Dogs” could be considered “Democrats In Name Only” but except against Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, the DINO acronym isn’t used much.

David that’s a pretty good rundown.

@NCallahan and David, the term “Blue Dog” comes from an old Southern term: Yellow Dog democrats. It wasn’t originally a term for elected officials, but voters. A Yellow Dog Democrat was a voter who would vote for any democratic candidate, even if it was an ole yella’ dog.

Thus, a Yellow Dog candidate could vote pretty much any way he (and lets face it: in the time frame we’re talking about it would be a him) wanted as long as he kept the party happy as he’d get reelected every time.

I’m not sure the term morphed into Blue Dogs, probably the blue state/red state business, but yeah DINO just doesn’t have the frisson of the visual potery that RINO vs. Elephant does.

Hmm… I dunno. The phrase really gained popularity during the 1928 election of Al Smith vs. Herbert Hoover. Smith was a Democrat, so the South wanted to vote for him. But he was also a New Yorker, a Catholic, and a “wet”, so… they didn’t want to vote for him.

Note that 1928 was after the 1920 ratification of the 19th amendment.

Of course, just because female voting was constitutionally protected doesn’t mean it actually happened. So I guess you could still be right. Especially since several Southern states didn’t ratify that amendment for many years afterward.

Oh, the irony when this “11-year-old girl” is actually revealed as the domestic terrorist Miss Liberty, who then, before she can be taken into custody, is accidentally crushed by a marble countertop.
