Dems need to beat the Repukes bloody with Olympic story.

[European Socialist]

I know they won't--But the Beck and Limbaugh reaction need to be put in a political ad and run constantly until they are forced off the air.

[bluestateguy]

1. It would be nice. But they don't have to. Blogs and YouTube are our friends.

:smoke:

[European Socialist]

2. Beck and Limbaugh are anti USA--And the dildo heads need to know it.

[elleng]

6. or maybe just ANTI,

as in the nature of their 'characters,' NEGATIVE. I'm sure many people know people who are always negative about most things, as in, 'That's a nice coat.' 'Well, its ok, but I had a much better one 10 years ago.'

[SpiralHawk]

9. And they are both Chickenhawks - never served America at all

while gleefully calling for our sons and daughters to go fight in far=away foriegn lands for the lie-drived Republicon oil-profits crusade.

I have no respect for hypocrites like Beck, Limbaugh and the Republicon chickenhawk leadership.

Nut up, or shut up, Republicons.

3. How Many RW's Were Critical Of Shrub's Trip?

About the only thing he accomplished in China was to slap the rear end of one of America's beach volleyball players!

[provis99]

8. I don't quite remember that Bush trip.

was that before or after he groped Chancellor Merkel of Germany?

[City Lights]

13. He was drunk. Falling-down drunk.

4. Remind them of this:

<snip>
Never mind that we know from previous Olympics in Salt Lake and Atlanta that hosting the competition would pump $20 billion (that's billion with a "b") into the economy, starting immediately. It meant tens of thousands of jobs in construction, infrastructure, sales and marketing. White collar jobs, blue collar jobs, a "jobs machine" as former Labor Secretary Robert Reich told Keith Olbermann Wednesday night on MSNBC.

There were legitimate reasons that some people from Chicago had for not holding the games there. However, the Rethugs had a kneejerk, reactionary, and ultimately anti-US reaction.

[elleng]

7. I'd say not 'ultimately' anti-US, but 'basically.'

[elleng]

5. I agree, strongly.

They've all got to see that these idiots really DO HATE somethings that most repugs really don't hate (or don't think they hate,) and that so maybe its not such a good idea to follow them around the mulberry bush.

[VOX]

10. The RW vilified Jimmy Carter for not allowing the U.S. to compete in the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

Carter called for the U.S. to boycott the 1980 Moscow Olympics for, ironically, Soviet involvement in Afghanistan.

At the time, conservatives/Republicans said things like, "Boycotting the Moscow Olympics punishes the American athletes, not the U.S.S.R.," and "The boycott won't change a thing in Afghanistan," etc.

And now they cheer when the U.S. doesn't land the Olympics. :shrug:

[kentuck]

11. They should make the Republicans distance themselves ...

from this anti-American crowd.

12. The Poutrage And The Law Of Diminishing Returns

The GOOP has become the "Whine" party...every day there's yet another "outrage" that echoes through hate radio and becomes an obsession with Tweety and the other "pundits". Not a day goes by where there's not something...from "Czars" to children being indoctrinated to Obama be damned for going (and be assured that had he hadn't gone, they'd blame him for that as well). It works for the hate radio world that thrives on conspiracies and distractions rather than deal with reality. They have nothing constructive to offer, never have...and represent a "philosophy" that has been totally discredited in the past two elections.

The problem is the rushpublicans are protesting too much. Like pechulant children or a cranky old uncle, the crying and bitching gets so tedious that after a while you tune it out. And that's what millions are doing. In their zeal to hold on to the 25% who live in that parallel universe, they've made themselves look increasingly foolish and mean-spirited to the remaining 75%. If the rushpublicans are ever to be a national party, they need to throttle in the poutrage or else become less and less credible and relevant.

14. I agree. nt

15. Crucifixion

Absolutely, they can and should be crucified for this. Why are conservatives rooting against America?
