It's really just an extention of being the party of "No!" doncha think? For some reason, this political party seems to con news mediums into flogging their nontroversies, things that are "controversial" only in that they are overblown or entirely made up. How do they nontroversy? Let me count the ways:
- Jim Demint (R-SC) says the stimulus bill is nothing but government spending. (Gasp! says the mediums. Duh! says I)
- Birthers. 'nuff said.
- Sudden concern for deficits after 2 unfunded wars and 1 unfunded Medicare Part D in the last administration.
- Sonia Sotomayor is a racist, says the Klannish Jeff Sessions (R-Al)
- Teabaggers are revolting. You said it, buster.
- Bipartisianship (stimulus and health care reform) is more important than anything else in the world. (Broder and the other villagers.)
- Cheney's say not torturing makes us weak.
- PACs use astroturf to cause incoherent riots at Dem town halls for Health Care Reform. Passed off as "depth and breadth" of discontent.
- Deathers.
- "No Guvmint Healthcare. Hands off my Medicare."
- Michael Steele opens his mouth today, something even stoopider than yesterday comes out.
- Gates-gate, "Acted stupidly", beer summit.
- Michelle's shorts.
- Malia's T-shirt
- Obama's swatted fly.
- Obama says Wee-Weed.
- Obama is a communist, marxist, facist, socialist... racist.
- Reconciliation is nookewleer option... if Dems use it. (Judd Gregg R-NH.)
Okay, I'm tired of this exercise. I'm probably not even doing it right anymore. Feel free to carry on and embellish in the comments.
And this Party is taken seriously by the mediums, why, again?
