Minnesota Democrats EXPOSED !

CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - Blogger targets Al Franken in Minnesota Senate race

Senate candidate Al Franken wants to talk about jobs, health care and global warming. Republican blogger Michael Brodkorb wants to talk about Franken’s failure to pay all his income taxes on time.

Guess what everyone is talking about?

From the kitchen table in his tranquil suburban neighborhood, Brodkorb for the last year has used his blog “Minnesota Democrats Exposed” to launch a furious political assault on Franken. He’s labeled the former comedian and liberal commentator a “mean-spirited and un-Minnesotan” candidate who’s running a “desperate and ridiculous” campaign.

First he helped create and then destroy Air America and now he does the same to his own run for the U.S. Senate.

Seems Zawahiri is a little late to the Democrat’s party of failure and defeat.

Al Qaeda declares ‘failure and defeat’ for U.S. troops in Iraq - CNN.com

Marking the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, al Qaeda’s media arm released an audio recording, purportedly from the group’s second-in-command, saying U.S. troops there have failed. art.zawahiri.jpg The audiotape allegedly is from Ayman al-Zawahiri, shown here in an image taken from a videotape. “Where the American invasion stands now, after five years, is failure and defeat,” the voice on the tape — supposedly that of Ayman al-Zawahiri — said in the roughly 16-minute recording, which was posted Thursday on several militant Islamist Web sites.

What took Zawahiri so long, the Democrats were already telling us this;

Pelosi calls Iraq a ‘failure’ - Mike Allen - Politico.com

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said twice Sunday that Iraq “is a failure,” adding that President Bush’s troop surge has “not produced the desired effect.”

Sen. Joe Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the military push didn’t succeed because U.S. troops remain committed there in large numbers and political reconciliation has not been achieved.

Iraq surge a failure, top Democrats tell Bush

Top US congressional Democrats bluntly told President George W. Bush Wednesday that his Iraq troop “surge” policy was a failure.

Senate Majority leader Harry Reid and House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi challenged the president over Iraq by sending him a letter, ahead of a White House meeting later on Wednesday.

A delusional and confused Huffingtonpost “er” wants the democrats to reclaim the “mantle of patriotism”.

The Whole Flag Thing Got Me Thinking - Politics on The Huffington Post

How did this happen? Did we Democrats send a memo out at some point ceding the patriotic territory to the guys (and yes, they are almost all guys) on the other side of the aisle? I know the Republicans didn’t take the flag away from us Democrats. They couldn’t. The flag belongs to all of us. So the only explanation is that we gave it away.

Yes you did give the Flag away and you would give it away to another nation just as fast if you had the chance.

Over half the country disagrees with Barack Obamas belief that small town Americans cling to guns, religion and bigoted beliefs because they are bitter:

Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a presidential election.

Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide disagree with Barack Obama’s statement that people in small towns “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 25% agree with the Democratic frontrunner while 19% are not sure.

Most voters disagree with Obama comment - 2008 Presidential Campaign Blog - Political Intelligence - Boston.com

The first poll is out to try to measure voter sentiment on Barack Obama’s remarks about bitter working class voters.

The Rasmussen Reports survey asked voters nationwide: “Do you agree or disagree with Barack Obama’s statement that people in small towns ‘cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations’?

The nutroots can’t seem to wrap their progressive minds around the fact that people find Obama’s Marxist views unattractive. The nutroots are concerned big time evidenced by feckless spinning and flat out deceptive attemps at re-branding what Obama actually said.

Notice hot the nutroots are focosing on the word “bitter” while completly ignoring Obama’s reference to religion, guns and race baiting.

OMG! Barack was picking on people! (Not really, as it turns out.)

Daily Kos: State of the Nation

The latest scandal is in full force: Bitter Gate. Obama, sensing there may be a problem (even if what he said was perfectly fine), decided to turn back the attacks as only he can do.

Apparently if you defend the right to bear arms, (second amendment), Barack Obama says you are an “Annie Oakley“.
Is Hillary pandering when it comes to Obama’s “cling to guns” belief? But Obama’s labeling her as “Annie Oakley” further shows his elitist anti 2nd Amendment belief.

Very telling how Obama reduces the Second Amendment to a Republican / John McCain talking point.

It’s funny how little ones financial worth has to do with being an “elitist”.

Perhaps the Nutroots and Democrats who are trying to spin Obama’s comments should open up a dictionary.

elitism:

1 The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources.

2 a. The sense of entitlement enjoyed by such a group or class.
b. Control, rule, or domination by such a group or class.

Elitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elitism is the belief or attitude that those individuals who are considered members of the elite — a select group of people with outstanding personal abilities, intellect, wealth, specialized training or experience, or other distinctive attributes — are those whose views on a matter are to be taken the most seriously or carry the most weight; whose views and/or actions are most likely to be constructive to society as a whole; or whose extraordinary skills, abilities or wisdom render them especially fit to govern. Alternatively, the term elitism may be used to describe a situation in which power is concentrated in the hands of the elite.

Typical elitist progressives believing their words will be clung to just because they are uttered..
