NYC Election Shocker
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 18 Sep 2011 | John Semmens

Posted on 09/20/2011 12:51:43 PM PDT by John Semmens

In New York City, Democrats lost a congressional seat that had been continuously held by the Party since 1923. The defeated Democrat—David Weprin—blamed Obama: “It’s pretty simple, the President wrecked the economy and I took the lumps for it. I’d advise any Democrat who hopes to survive the 2012 election to put as much distance as he can between himself and the President.”

Representative Henry Waxman (D-Calif) distanced himself from Weprin and denied that the President should bear any part of the blame, attributing the outcome, instead, to “Jewish greed.” “The President is trying to achieve a more equitable distribution of wealth in this country,” Waxman asserted. “This Congressional district has a heavy proportion of wealthy Jewish voters who don’t want to share with those less fortunate.”

Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz also absolved Obama of any blame, calling the outcome “a fluke borne of frustration with high unemployment that people have wrongly attributed to the President because he hasn’t been able to fix it. Nobody can. That’s the new reality we have to accept.”

I’m losing interest in satire because it’s so hard to tell the difference between a satire of pro-Obama positions and the real thing. [Hint: satire has to try to make sense, so if there is no sense at all in the report, it’s true, while the reports that favor Obama and at least partially make sense are usually satire.]

Man, this is good writing.

To get so close to the truth that you have to read the sub-title to know for sure, is truly a gift.

I envy the author for the skill.

I thought this was semi-satire. Where is the satire?

So now the Dems are all about actually admitting it:Representative Henry Waxman (D-Calif) distanced himself from Weprin and denied that the President should bear any part of the blame, attributing the outcome, instead, to “Jewish greed.” “The President is trying to achieve a more equitable distribution of wealth in this country,Also Wasserman Schultz calls the new unemployment figures the new reality we have to accept. Wow I'm sure the 15 millions unemployed are going to love to hear that!

None too early to discuss a viable Tea Party candidate to run against Waxman. Every socialist has to go!

No kidding! It’s getting way too easy to get suckered in, because it seems anything is possible.

It’s a shame to call it satire when it is the way libtards actually think

We will accept nothing but the defeat of your master and the loss of your job and to see on the unemployment line. The arrogance and the audacity of these morons are getting to much to bare
