Hillary Clinton has a reputation for political savvy that is much overrated. Case in point. Her much ballyhooed massive program for federalizing via sneaky means the entire health care insurance system. Not only was this scheme promulgated in secret with little or no input from health care providers or the insurance industry but the program was presented on a take it or leave it basis. Hillary INSISTED that every last little detail of this proposal be accepted. That was the deal killer (fotunately). Had she compromised (as is NORMAL for all legislation) her massive scheme might have passed. Instead, due to her LACK of political savvy, this Hillary Health Care Proposal was shot down by Congress and a few weeks later led to the Democrats losing both houses of Congress in the historic 1994 Congressional elections. Again, Hillary seems to have a tin ear as she schemes to win the White House in 2008. She is positioning herself as a “Centrist” in the belief that position would make it easiest for her to win in 2008. The problem is that before winning the general election, Hillary must please the Democrat Party loonies, of which the DUmmies are very representative. So how are her Demcrat gatekeepers regarding the latest Hillary move to “support” (in quotes because it is a strictly tactical move on her part) the Administration’s policies in Iraq? To answer that question, just read this DUmmie THREAD titled, “Please, Senator Clinton, call them ‘Freedom Fighters’...” When you have the keepers of the Keys to the Democrat Kingdom insisting on calling the Iraqi terrorists, “Freedom Fighters,” there is no way you can get the nomination by “supporting” the Administrations Iraq policy. As usual the far out DUmmie rantings are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching the Hillary maneuverings and DUmmie reactions, from the her old War Room bunker, is in the [brackets]:
Please, Senator Clinton, call them "Freedom Fighters"...They're not "Iraqi insurgents," they're citizens fighting for their home and country. They're "Freedom Fighters."
[Please, Senator Clinton, call murdering thugs like Zarqawi “Freedom Fighters.” It is so impolite to call them “Iraqi Insurgents.”]
Do you really think calling people who shoot at U.S. troops "freedom fighters" is good way to win the hearts and minds of the American electorate?
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
I, for one, would look for something halfway between "terrorists" and "insurgents" on the one hand and " freedom fighters" on the other. How about "resistance"?
[You are to be complimented on your efforts to find a non-offensive term to call the terrorist thugs.]
I think most journalists are opting for "resistance" these days b/c it's basically neutral, factually accurate, and it helps to encompass the broad array of anti-Coalition Iraqi fighters-- some of whom probably are bona fide terrorist outfits (e.g. al-Qaeda) and others that are more like nationalist groups fighting what they perceive to be a foreign invasion force. "Resistance" is the best term to use in description here.
[So if they are terrorists why the reluctance to call them….terrorists? What next? Is Charles Manson to be labeled a member of the “Resistance?”]
i could give a rat's ass about the American electorate...my sympathies lie with the people of the world, who have to withstand the idiocy of the American public and the governments/militaries they allow to exist. And yes, Iraqi insurgents are freedom fighters...
[You obviously could give a rat’s ass about if the Democrats will ever win power back again? With your attitude, which is prevalent among the DUmmiecrats, they WON’T. Oh, and Hillary can kiss ’08 goodbye.]
I don't think think the media should call them "terrorists" like many conservatives demand (altough suicide bombers are terrorists), but they sure as hell aren't freedom fighters. Insurgents is just fine.
[Actually terrorists is just fine AND accurate.]
"Resistance" is better. Even "loyalists" is better.
[DUmmies arguing about which word will be the best nicey-nice description of the terrorists.]
Insurgent is NOT just fine. They are freedom fighters insofar that they fight for the freedom of Iraq from U.S. occupation.
[Apparently “Insurgent” isn’t a nicey-nice enough of a description for you.]
And you don't win verbal wars by calling people who are murdering American soldiers and innocent Iraqis "freedom fighters." These people would like to reinstall a theocratic dictatorship that would not be remotely free. I'm sorry if I sound like Bush, but they really are opponents of democracy. And they are killing Iraqis who would like to be part of the new Iraqi Army.
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!! (And that slight slam against doesn’t fool me.)]
Ba'athists were not Islamic extremists. In fact Saddam's Regime was quite secular and women had quite a bit of freedom.
[You’re bringing tears to my eyes with that bit of Saddam nostalgia…. Those were the days my friend. We thought the torture would never end. La la la LA la la…]
"DUmmie FUnnies is the most popular ping list on Free Republic, this is a thread where FReeper PJ-Comix ridicules the members of Democratic Underground."
But wait, there's MORE!!! If you go to the Wikipedia PAGE about DUmmieland (scroll to bottom), you will see this entry and link anchoring their DUmmie page:
"DUmmie FUnnies - a popular conservative comic take on Democratic Underground."
True the Wikipedia obviously has a liberal bias against the Free Republic as you can see on their page so why their nice description of the DUmmie FUnnies? My guess is that the Wikipedia editors, despite their liberal biases, found the DUmmie FUnnies just so damn funny that they had to laugh at its humor despite their fixed notions. And I like the fact that they had the DUmmie FUnnies anchoring their page entry for DUmmieland. It sort of ruins it for any DUmmie wanting to read about themselves over there.
So, you see, when I e-mailed Jeff Kleinman of the Graybill and English Agency that the DUmmie FUnnies is extremely popular, it wasn't just hype. It is FACT. And anyone can verify this for themselves just by checking it out in Wikipedia. So if any of you happen to run across Jeff Kleinman of the Graybill and English Literary Agency, you might want to direct him to that Wikipedia entry. Perhaps he will change his mind about representing the DUmmie FUnnies as a book (with CD-ROM insert for the related color comix stories) and contact me at: PJ-Comix.
Let me know if you want to join the DUmmie FUnnies PING List, verified as the BIGGEST on the FR by Wikipedia.
PING!
I had a feeling that would make the Funnies.
first
These people are outright traitors.
I like to kid about rounding these people up, but now I wonder if I'm not on to something.
Seditious bastards like this shouldn't be allowed to move freely in our society. Who knows when they will decide to aid al Qaeda?
from my home page:
From an interview with FrontPage Magazine, Steven Vincent, author of In the Red Zone:
The most despicable misuse of terminology, however, occurs when Leftists call the Saddamites and foreign jihadists “the resistance.” What an example of moral inversion! For the fact is, paramilitary death squads are attacking the Iraqi people. And those who oppose the killers--the Iraqi police and National Guardsmen, members of the Allawi government, people like Nour—they are the “resistance.” They are preventing Islamofascists from seizing Iraq, they are resisting evil men from turning the entire nation into a mass slaughterhouse like we saw in re-liberated Falluja. Anyone who cares about success in our struggle against Islamofascism—or upholds principles of moral clarity and lucid thought—should combat such Orwellian distortions of our language.
Good for you! The more light that gets shined on these treasonous losers, the uglier and more unappealing the left becomes in general.
Love your work. Please add me to your ping list.
LOL That last one sounds like Patty Murray.
I firmly believe that islamofascists are feeding the DUmmies fantasies. It's a common tactic in any war.
Yet another reason to see the DUmmie FUnnies in wide circulation as a book (with CD-ROM insert for related color comix) because if this happens there is NO WAY the DUmmiecrats will return to power.
Oh, DUmmies, you're making me all weepy as my mind wanders back to the good old days of Uday and Qusay! Those crazy kids! What pranksters!
The unofficial slogan of today's Democratic Party.
Yeah, right...That Iraqi woman had a LOT of freedom as she ws being gang raped by Uday and his cronies. She had a LOT of freedom as she was forced at gunpoint to watch her children tortured and her husband executed before her eyes.
p.s. Please take note, Jeff Kleinman of the Graybill and English Literary Agency.
Blowing up innocent Iraqis is not terrorism? The Baathists were OK because they were secular and gave women more rights?..I have some video clips of beatings and hands being severed by Baathists for their edification..and some mass graves to show them...
One must be VERY CAREFUL when doing subtle humor. It can be easily misunderstood. Hey, I actually did get banned on Lucianne's forum because I posted a pic of Sgt. Hartman screaming at her to hit the deck and do 50 pushups. Lucianne was NOT amused. (BTW, did you know that Lucianne is a Literary Agent? Somehow I DON'T think she will be representing the DUmmie FUnnies.)
I read this thread yesterday, too, and thought you might use it, but thought rather more you might use the one in which the DUmmie "Andy Stephenson" and the DUmmie "Faye" discuss the possibility that "Jeff Gannon" might actually be a kid who was kidnapped, and has been missing since, in Nebraska in 1991.
One of the points constantly gone over?--that "Jeff Gannon" and the missing kid have the same first, middle, and last initials.
They even went so far as to contact the mother of the missing boy; one wonders what she thought of that.
Bah, humbug, DUmmies; the parasitical tapeworms of America.
PJ:
Please add me to your most excellent PING list!
