The Democrats can dish it out, but they sure as hell can’t take it. And that became all too obvious after Rep. Allen West (R-FL) compared their propaganda machine to Joseph Goebbels. You would’ve thought the congressman had thrown a grenade down a Capitol building hallway, while screaming Allah Akbar!Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) sent West a note expressing his disappointment in the remark. “I beg of you to help raise the level of congressional discourse in vigorous debate without resort to personal attacks,” Conyers wrote in a handwritten note first obtained by Politico.
West’s remarks came even as Democrats and Republicans scrambled to reach a bipartisan agreement on a spending bill necessary to continue funding the government into the new year.
“Shame on him,” tweeted Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.). “Rep. West needs to apologize now for insulting the memories of the millions who lost their lives during the Holocaust.”
Feigned outrage, that’s all this is. How many times have we heard Nancy Pelosi and her coterie of goons call the tea partiers Nazis. Does anyone remember Bill Clinton accusing republicans of wanting to starve children and kill old people? Hell, they’re still doing it!
The Democrats want an apology and civil discourse? As far as I’m concerned they deserve neither. What they should get is a foot up their collective asses.

Yeah... Slight problem with YOUR faigned outrage: Nancy Pelosi (and co.) NEVER called or described the tea party "Nazi's." Prove me wrong: You have google.
ReplyDeleteThey DID however decry the use of Nazist imagery in the Tea Party protests. And that's a charge that is easy to verify: You have google.
But hey: Don't let so liberal a thing as FACTS get in the way of a good rant. I'm sure your readers don't mind.
Nancy Pelosi, "They're carrying swastikas and symbols like that to town hall meetings."
ReplyDeleteIs that not in effect calling them Nazis? Come on.
I've been to many tea party events and never saw anyone bearing that kind of crap.
