Never let the facts get in the way of a good rant and thanks Tom for actually posting the full quote.
Isnât this standard operating procedure with the GOP? Theyâre always mad as hell and predicting doom over something the president either didnât say or didnât do. President Obama says, âI love Austinâ and Republicans immediately claim he hates Dallas.
Morons. Never let the facts get in the way of a good outrage fit.
Of course. They lose it over hundreds of insane, demonstratively untrue things all the time. They literally invent things to be outraged over.
The GOP/teahadist base is borderline clinically insane.
Do Republicans really think these chicken shit attacks actually resonate with the American public?
As I and other have said many times, if President Obama cured cancer, the GOP would lose their shit and claim Obama hates oncologists.
And after a few months of that, then it will devolve into a conspiracy theory that he simply wants to keep people alive so they could mooch off âthe government teatâ as part of some secret plan to destroy America.
Yes. And it resonates with them and their base.
Dana Perino: âIâm still trying to get my head around this statement by potus.â
Dana, you could never get your head around a pea, so donât try with this.
Never, ever underestimate fear of a black President.
Republicans devote their whole lives to stabbing at strawmen and tilting at windmills. So it goesâŚ
If the RNC convention were next month theyâd more than likely use it as a theme like the willfully misquoted âYou didnât build thatâ meme.
It apparently does with a certain loud, angry, intellectually challenged constituency that theyâve been relying on for decades.
To paraphrase Justice Alito in Hobby-Lobby, it doesnât matter that Obama didnât actually say it, as long as the pundits believe that he said it
He said âIâm not interested in photo-ops;â and they claim he said âI donât do photo-ops;â
Wow, you really caught them in a big lie that time. What a whopper. The headline should be 10 times as big and in flashing red and purple. âBiggest lie ever told!!!â
Speaks volumes about the sad state of journalists and journalism education today. Facts donât seem to matter anymore.
Let me see if I understand this. The GOP and right wing media are demanding a photo op at the border?
Yes.
The good news is that cable ânewsâ lost 20% of itâs audience two years in a row. I wonder why?
Because it resonates with them and their base (the real Americans) they think that somehow means it resonates with the rest of America. It actually makes them look small, petty, and desperate to find anything over which to attack him. Thatâs why fewer and fewer people are listening to the right. They have no proposals, no policy prescriptions, nothing but bitter sniping at the president.
Let them keep getting hysterical over non-issues. It just makes them look foolish. No one cares.
