Shut Up [Conservatives]

PajamasMedia: Klavan on the Culture ^ | March 31, 2009 | Andrew Klavan

My first video commentary is now available:

“Some conservatives are arguing that the beginning of the Obama Era has been a disaster. They think the president’s soft approach to tyrants overseas has elicited predictable displays of aggression, boding far worse to come. They feel the president’s high-blown ethical rhetoric has given way to his appointments of political hacks. And, of course, there’s the gazillion dollars in spending and taxation that conservatives feel is a radical attempt to destroy our free market system.

That’s the Conservative argument. But today I’d like to explain the liberal argument: Shut up.”

LOL!
BINGO!

Klavan has also proven how far Bush, McCain and whoever controls the GOP purse strings have moved Left.

Bush to those who wanted the borders protected: “You are racist.”
IOW: “Shut up.”

McCain to those who used the name Hussein: “You’re unAmerican.”
IOW: “Shut up.”

The RINO’s to conservatives: “You’re extremists.”
IOW: “Shut up.”

Message to conservatives at Tea Parties and all other functions: Do not allow “liberals” (in whatever disguise they show up in) shut you up.

Libtards “shutting up” during the previous 8 years worked well, didn’t it?

I have one thing to say to this idiot - STFU&GTH

[papasmurf]

Very good! He said what I've been saying for years. Only thing is, he says it without screaming, spitting, and losing his temper. LOL

Gay Republicans split (insert own jokes) (Politico 04/10/09 Ben Smith)

"Essentially, there's no voice for gay Republicans or gay conservatives in particular in D.C. right now. Log Cabin has been completely and totally absent here in D.C. for months and months," Barron said. "It has simply moved way too far to the left and is basically indistinguishable from any other gay left organization."

The ideological battle has been playing out in the gay media and on some blogs for a while, spurred in part by the Blade's revelation that the Log Cabin Republicans' biggest backer is a prominent Democrat, Tim Gill. Their complaint, in general, is that Log Cabin has grown indistinguishable from left-leaning gay rights groups.

Who is Andrew klavan?

[Zevonismymuse]

Very good! He said what I've been saying for years.

Super guy. He was hands down the best speaker at the Tax Rally in Santa Barbara on April 4th. The other speakers were boring politicians for the most part. Tammy Bruce was okay but she didn't really get the crowd all ginned up. We are having another protest on Tax Day in Santa Barbara. The protest on April 15th is our official Tax Day Tea Party in Alameda Park. We won't have any politicians or paid speakers...just passionate patriots, old school protest music and a march to the IRS.

Who is Andrew klavan?

Not sure. But he's someone who speaks well as shown in the video.

And even if he's a moderate (as some are who write at pajamas media) his exposition also exposes those in the GOP who have done and continue to do the same thing -- attack those who disagree with them in the hopes of getting principled conservatives to shut up.

[Carry_Okie]

He is good. But I could do without the skin-head. It invites "shut up" to the entire presentation, as we have seen.

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Was your comment a joke or do you have some substantive charge to make?

[NTHockey]

Just a general question. Why are politicians allowed to speak at our protests on April 15? They are the problem and now they want to steal some of the limelight.

Unless there name is Coburn, Pence, DeMint or Palin - tell them to stay home.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

Puts me in mind of something Ann Couter might say . . . and did.

[grandpa jones]

Who is Andrew klavan?

He is teaming with Andrew Breitbart on the “Big Hollywood” website, among other things

[Little Ray]

I probably shouldn’t know this, but Klansmen hang out at a Klavern, not a Klavan...

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Nice piece! Thanks!

[stevie_d_64]

Do we lower ourselves to their level when we respond:

“Make me!”

[papasmurf]

Isn’t, or wasn’t, he a write at LA Times?
