Champion sour-grape sucker Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild takes liberties with Fox & Friends peasant Steve Doocy:
You can watch the entire episode here (not recommended). In it, her ladyship expounds upon the theory proffered in her gently received “I Told You So” column at The Daily Beast.
To wit, socialist monster Barack Obama used the Trojan Horse of centrism to get elected. Only Lady Lynn and other prominent peers of the realm had the wit to perceive it because you Obot peasants are all what Rush Limbaugh might satirically call “retards.”
Moreover, Obama is a big fat liar with all this bipartisanship stuff because while he pretends to extend the PATRIOT Act, incorporate GOP ideas into a corporate-friendly health care bill and not raise taxes, he’s really dismantling the very foundations of liberty in a mad bid to transform America into France. Or maybe Greece. At any rate, some socialist country with BIG GOVERNMENT and teeny coffee cups.
Anyway, Lady Lynn told you so, you ignorant bumpkins, but you wouldn’t listen, and now America is doomed. The end.
Obama’s shortcomings were eminently foreseeable, says one of McCain’s most prominent Democratic backers. Lynn Forester de Rothschild on how the president’s fake bipartisanship could never hide his true leftist agenda. [...]
Perhaps the biggest fabrication of the Obama candidacy was his claim of being a centrist. Sure, he made promises during the campaign that pleased moderates. He promised “the elimination of capital gains taxes for small business,” a $3,000 refundable tax credit to existing businesses for every additional employee hired through 2010, removal of penalties for early withdrawal of 401(k) savings during the recession, and no administration jobs for lobbyists. Perhaps the best of all was the promise he made in the Mississippi presidential debate when he said, “We need earmark reform. And when I’m president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely.” They were specific, sensible promises—ones that enabled him to mislead the electorate about his real plans for America. [...]
So if he wasn’t going to be a centrist Democrat in the tradition of Bill Clinton, what did Barack Obama want from his presidency, should he be elected? He told us from the beginning. It was a stunning agenda, but it seemed innocuous, even inspiring, during the campaign. Standing on the steps of the old Illinois State Capitol, announcing his candidacy for president, Obama declared he was running “not just to hold an office, but to gather with you to transform a nation.” Suddenly now everyone is worried he is trying to transform America. He had said so all along. His is an effort to make a bigger, more intrusive and more costly government. His hope is, and has always been, to turn the country into a nation that looks more like a European social democracy. He ignores that the roots of our strength have always been small government and a dynamic private sector, fostered by both Democrats and Republicans. His cynical use of centrist language as a tool to get elected does not change the fact of his true objectives for America.
OBAMAMG! THE ELITIST, SWARTHY PRESIDENT WITH THE UN-AMERICAN NAME HAS PLANS AND OBJECTIVES! HE MUST BE STOPPED!*
If you’re so eager to bolster your Real True Progressive® bonafides that you resort to using the adjective “thuggish” to describe Darcy Burner (Darcy Burner?!?), I guess you’re fully committed to always being picked last in intramural dodgeball. If you think that’s a winning strategy, well, good luck with that, lil’ fella.
Is Weigel right? Or will Hillary jam the throttle and go auguring into the conning tower of the USS Mulligan, in a last-ditch Hail-Mary run against Obama, Palin and/or an Insane Teabagger TBA? Inquiring minds are obviously bored to paste-eating distraction with C-SPAN and the Olympics.
Even though I regularly read blogs written by horrible, petulant Hillary Clinton supporters that exist solely to tell the world HOW MUCH BARACK OBAMA SUCKS several times a day (or even hourly), I still think “Wow, that’s pretty harsh” when I read one of the relatively few anti-Clinton blog posts penned by an Obama supporter these days.
The New Agenda’s hacktacular Amy Siskind has a piece up at HuffPo that is remarkably dishonest—even by her lofty standards of mendacity. In the dramatically titled “Save Us Martha!”, Siskind implores Massachusetts senate candidate Martha Coakley to abandon her principles and commit political suicide by coming out against the senate health care bill. Why? To “save” women, of course:
As we know, unlikely bedfellows are uniting in opposition to Obama’s health care reform. Independent bloggers who oppose health care reform see MA Republican candidate Scott Brown as their best hope to shoot it down. Former Hillary Clinton supporters who were pro-Coakley last month, now are signing up to phone bank for Republican Scott Brown here and here in an effort to defeat health care. Even a lifelong women’s advocate informed me this week that she was backing Brown to shoot down Stupak/Nelson. Strange days indeed.
Which is why Martha Coakley should seize on this moment. Coakley should change her position and run against health care reform. In doing so, not only will she cement a win in Massachusetts, but also establish herself as a modern day Eleanor Roosevelt at a time when women are desperate for leadership.
Yes, we poor dears are always damsels in distress sorely in need of damsel-led rescues on Planet Siskind. And who are the influential “independent bloggers” supporting Cosmo boy Scott Brown? PUMA hate sites Texas Darlin, Hillbuzz and No Quarter. Yeah, Coakley should totally throw her lot in with those political sages. I mean, they have such an impressive track record of cementing electoral victories, do they not?
Remember “Democrat” Taylor Marsh, the pretend-radio-show-host and all-around silly person who spent the 2008 primary season whisking disgruntled Hillaryites into a meringuey froth?
To briefly recap, after Obama secured the nomination, the ambitious Marsh realized there was no profit in following the Hill-lemmings over the McCain-Palin cliff, so she pinched her nostrils and got on board the O-train, much to the chagrin of her former HellNo kitteh admirers.
But it seems the self-proclaimed “lunch bucket” Reagan Democrat still gets heartburn at the spectacle of a negro in the White House. How else to explain this?
Believing hype and hope from a man who sold that he would be different, when an African American getting to the presidential peak would have to know how to play The Game, tap the corporate spigot, sing for his paycheck and policies, or lose out. It’s American politics 101.
Emphasis mine. So in Marsh’s American Politics 101 course, we learn that black folks are uniquely disposed to be slick, misleading pols because they know they have to dance for The Man?
Help me out here, folks. I don’t want to think the worst of my fellow “progressives,” even those who cite their former Reagan Democrat status as if it were a badge of honor rather than an indication of their boundless stupidity. Is there any other way to interpret this?
Man, that is one pissed-off font. So pissed-off that it hates Corporatism and Socialism simultaneously. It also hates “Leftists,” “Liberals” and “Liberal Policies,” although not necessarily in that order. Deep down, I’m pretty sure it hates itself for being such an easily deluded character-set.
And you just know that font represents all of us regretful Democrats who feel betrayed by Obama, Reid and Pelosi, because it tells us so. And it says “We” right up front, just to be clear. Plus, it uses authentic Democrat-on-Democrat attack-words like “Tax,” “Spend” and “Redistribute.” Like it or not, everything in this video has the Ring of Truth.
Nothing illustrates “disaffected single-payer health care advocate” like images of Old Glory, deranged Town Hall Meeting crashers and militant Red Staters with Gadsden flags.
And nothing says “unstoppable, big-money grassroots revolution” like floating type-treatments, still-frame images and shareware editing effects set to a generic library music knock-off of Carmina Burana, you betcha.
Freepers, PUMAs and their affiliated deep-cover Yankee Dandy Whacknoodle sleeper cells are giving themselves chills by posting this in high rotation and “making it go viral.” However, mysterious Youtube “blocks” and inept downloaders have notorious shit-stirrers like Dan Riehl speculating that the video file is “under attack” by “Obots,” who apparently have total control of online media, just like the Jews.
If, like me, you can’t sleep at night because you’re wracked with guilt for supporting Obama despite the Greek Chorus of Wise Voices who TRIED TO WARN YOU and TOLD YOU SO…watch this video now, and watch it repeatedly. I guarantee you’ll be fast asleep and dreaming about puppies before the PUMAs are done watching Matlock.
Perhaps she was an Obama supporter. It seems to instantly qualify you as a vicious misogynist in The Land of the Perpetually Aggrieved. I hope they write that into the final proposal for the Just-Us Party.
p.s. Is there any blogger who comes up with lamer rebuttals than Lambert Strether 2.0? (Another example here.) The answer, according to this D-lister (ha!), is obviously “n-o-o-o-o-o.”
