New liberal argument: “We’re not evil, we ‘re stupid”

incompetent not evil

Yesterday on Morning Mika, er Morning Joe, Donny Douche Deutsch revealed the new liberal argument regarding the trifecta of scandals plaguing the Obama regime. The first part was Deutsch using the targeting of Tea Party groups to hammer Tea Party groups:

That's when Deutsch used the story of the IRS demonizing tea party groups to further demonize tea party groups.

Basically what it is going to do, it’s going to force, in the primaries, to galvanize the Tea Party. You’re going to get more extremist candidates. They’ll lose in general election. Come general election time, if somebody voted against background checks for guns, if somebody is still doing the crazy, crazy, crazy social issues, I disagree with you.

Deutsch continued to make his case and wrote the IRS scandal off on "a few idiots" operating on their own. Even at a time when the White House is under pressure from three growing scandals--Benghazi, AP and IRS, we can still count on MSNBC to make the "crazy, extreme" tea partiers the real story.

But then he went on on how to sell the scandal package to America.

"I want to say something and pick up a little on Mike's point. Stop selling evil and sell incompetence. It is very simple. These aren't evil people. They're incompetent. They're over their head. Benghazi, AP, IRS, wrap it up in a red bow and say they have fallen and they can't get up instead of painting the devil. The American people can accept that argument."

Got it? They're not evil, they're stupid and incompetent.

The Obama State Run Media is now in full Obama Recovery Mode implementing that strategy.

Piers Morgan invited Jay Carney to disabuse America of the notion that there even are any scandals:

Carney’s answers summed up: There are no scandals.

“You’re concocting scandals that don’t exist,” Carney said, when show host Piers Morgan asked how the Obama administration would “restore the faith that some Americans have lost” in its transparency.

“Especially with regard to the Benghazi affair that was contrived by Republicans and, I think, has fallen apart largely this week,” Carney said.

Ezra Klein takes notes from Deutsch:

On Tuesday, it looked like we had three possible political scandals brewing. Two days later, with much more evidence available, it doesn’t look like any of them will pan out. There’ll be more hearings, and more bad press for the Obama administration, and more demands for documents. But — and this is a key qualification — absent more revelations, the scandals that could reach high don’t seem to include any real wrongdoing, whereas the ones that include real wrongdoing don’t reach high enough.

There was no early connection between Nixon and Watergate either, and Klein is anxious to suffocate this baby in its crib before its lungs fully expand.

Two of the idiots at Politico could no longer resist dragging Bush into this:

It took him a day or two to get started, but President Barack Obama this week signaled that he is going to follow the conventional Washington playbook for trying to tamp down scandal.

He has furrowed his brow, sacked an agency head, pledged transparency and cooperation with official inquiries and piously declared that no one is more troubled than him about any wrongdoing.

There’s no indication that Obama and his aides have paused to ponder the WWCD test: What Would Cheney Do?

Meanwhile, the IRS official running the "Tea Party Targeting" division of the IRS will be in charge of enforcing Obamacare:

This Deutsch guy reminds me of the dork we all knew in high school who tried WAY too hard to get into the “cool” kids clique. As evidenced by the fact he’s a grown man going by the name Donny...

I've never thought of liberals as idiots or stupid. Much like Satan himself, they're shrewed, savvy and very cunning. If evil were stupid and bumbling, it would be less appealing. I'm reminded of Henry Hill's quote in Goodfellas:

So your murderers come with smiles. They come as your friends, the people who have cared for you all of your life, and they always seem to come at a time when you're at your weakest and most in need of their help.

Though often world-wise and street smart, liberals do lack discernment and genuine wisdom that comes only from God.

‘’Concocting scandals that don't exist’’. What kind of English grammar is this?

They are evil and too stupid to know that no one ever gets away with it for long. Darkness is always exiled by light and evil will be utterly destroyed, if not in this life the next.

Does anybody remember the Sandy Burglar talking point? He was “just sloppy”. They are all the best of the best until they need an excuse.
