Lou Dobb’s Doublespeak

Lou Dobbs  http://mariopiperni.com/

.

There was a time when I had no feelings one way or another for Lou Dobbs but over the last while I’ve come to the conclusion he really is a dick.

“And tea-bagging queen Rachel Maddow over at MSNBC, she wanted another shot so apparently she twisted, she tried to twist my words. She ignored my statements on the issue.”

Dobbs was upset with Maddow for calling him a birther.  He thought that by using his brand of doublespeak he could get away with it.  The only thing which separates Dobbs from the crazies with signs is that, unlike them, he gets to wear a suit and tie and work for a respectable news network.

Hey Dobbs, you are a birther.  Your Obama rants have been getting louder of late and it’s become way too obvious that if you could keep your job while wearing a t-shirt on air which read ‘Obama is a F*****g Muslim Socialist N****r‘, you would.

Someone please find a slot for Lou on Fox where his half-truths, fear-mongering and xenophobic tendencies would fit right in beside Sean, Glenn and Bill.

Fighting Democrats On Health Care Reform

Blue Dog Democrats  http://mariopiperni.com/

.

It appears that the biggest obstacle facing the president in passing the type of health bill he wants is not going to be Republicans but instead the 52 conservative House Democrats known as Blue Dogs.

House Republicans are calculating that the ongoing revolt by Blue Dog Democrats unhappy with their party’s health care proposals will soon force Democratic leaders to bargain with GOP opponents of the legislation.

Republican aides said Tuesday there is great interest among GOP lawmakers in trying to work with dissidents in the 52-member Blue Dog Coalition. “Blue Dogs will be the main event all week,” said one GOP aide, referring to efforts by Republicans to woo Blue Dogs.

The health bill will obviously not be passed before the August recess as Obama had hoped.  What I find amazingly dumb is that some of these Blue Dogs still believe that a bipartisan bill can be passed.  What is it that they don’t get?  Republicans have been honest in one department; they don’t want any type of health care bill passed under any circumstances.  Their plan is to delay passage of the bill and have this issue become Obama’s Waterloo.

No one said it was going to be easy.  Woof.

Obama And His Deep-Seated Hatred For White People

When Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade is the voice of reason in a discussion, you know that someone has gone way over the line.

.

.

At the next Tea Party rally, you just know that some moron will be holding up a sign reading “OBAMA IS A RACIST”.  He’ll be the guy standing beside the person with the “OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST” sign…who is beside the guy with the “OBAMA IS A MUSLIM” and “OBAMA IS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN” signs…

FOX News, where the motto should read…

“if you believe a tenth of the shit we say, then you’re a bigger idiot than we could ever have hoped for!”

Might be time again to play Beck’s ‘Get Off My Phone‘.
