"You Are Terrifying Us" [Peggy Noonan Comes Crawling Home]

Wall Street Journal ^ | 8-6-09 | Peggy Noonan

[McBuff]

We have entered uncharted territory in the fight over national health care. There’s a new tone in the debate, and it’s ugly. At the moment the Democrats are looking like something they haven’t looked like in years, and that is: desperate.

They must know at this point they should not have pushed a national health-care plan. A Democratic operative the other day called it “Hillary’s revenge.” When Mrs. Clinton started losing to Barack Obama in the primaries 18 months ago, she began to give new and sharper emphasis to her health-care plan. Mr. Obama responded by talking about his health-care vision. He won. Now he would push what he had been forced to highlight: Health care would be a priority initiative. The net result is falling support for his leadership on the issue, falling personal polls, and the angry town-hall meetings that have electrified YouTube.

In his first five months in office, Mr. Obama had racked up big wins—the stimulus, children’s health insurance, House approval of cap-and-trade. But he stayed too long at the hot table. All the Democrats in Washington did. They overinterpreted the meaning of the 2008 election, and didn’t fully take into account how the great recession changed the national mood and atmosphere.

Looks like ol Peg wants to come crawling home after her adulterous affair with that long legged mac-daddy! I ain't taking her back! Notice at the end of the article, she just can't help herself as she condescendingly chides the townhall protesters not to give in to violence. . .Jeez, the woman is a hopeless, confused snoot!

[Cicero]

The libs can have her.

[9YearLurker]

But oh, it’s all so much about tone, don’t you see? The substance of Marxism? Eh, not consequential for a sophisticated New Yorker.

[Dr. Ursus]

She acts like she was dumped by Michael Douglas,too.

[raptor29]

Up yours, Noonan. You sold out, and we haven’t forgot, and you can go to hell.

[Admin Moderator]

Please do not change the titles of articles.

It makes searching for previous posts impossible.

[Marty62]

Too bad,her fall from grace.........shows in her face.
Socialist/commie/fascist Dums and RINO’s hate shows in their faces. Ugly.
Conserv and Indie women are beautiful.

[Minus_The_Bear]

This evil b*tch is one them. She supports their violence.

[cvq3842]

She’s lost credibility with me.

[Oldpuppymax]

Sorry if you are embarrassed at your Wine and Cheese affairs by the low-class activities of we knuckle-dragging, actual Americans, Peggy. I’m sure it must be terribly difficult for you to remain “credible” with your left-wing confidants!

[devane617]

Hey Peggy....Did he quit putt’n out?

[brownsfan]

Noonan is an arrogant elitist. She doesn’t car about party, or country for that matter, she just wants to be part of the elite intelligensia.
I find her distasteful.

Doesn't anybody use the search engine anymore before posting an article?

I did a search and it didn’t come up. . .I’m having a bad day, I guess.

You se and hear Peggy Noonan. You should think of a female Jay Gatsby.

"Peggy Noonan Comes Crawling Home"

Lock the doors and bar the windows.........

[matginzac]

She must’ve had real crappy sales of her last book...no more conservatives to finance her and then she poops on them... I hope Sarah cleans her clock in the moola dept...

She loves the English language, especially her own use of it. I call her a "word whore."

[devane617]

I use to post comments when I saw duplicates but got tired of being severely flamed by Freepers. I finally decided it was not my job and if the admins want to stop it they can. It is incredible to me that a simple search is quick, yet is not done by most posters. Between the posters that post youtube trash they receive from email blasters, to twitter zealots, and duplicate posters...Must be a difficult job for admins to keep up with, but it is their job.

[DogBarkTree]

Report this beeyotch to flag@whitehouse.gov

[varina davis]

Maybe she’s getting tired of Kool-Aide.

[shibumi]

"low-class activities of we knuckle-dragging, actual Americans,"

Yup! We're those knuckle-dragging, inbred, redneck, bitter fundamentalist, gun-nut reactionaries who dress up in our Brooks Brother's suits to incite violence at townhall meetings at the behest of the K-Street lobbyists who pay us big money to back their special interests.

Can you say "Cognitive Dissonance?"

[McBuff]

I did a search, it didn’t come up. . .what can I say? Its my first such mistake in 11 years on this board. . .cut me some slack willya!?

[y6162]

“Looks like ol Peg wants to come crawling home”

I think we should shave her head, strip her and run her down Broadway as a collaborator. Shame should be her punishment.

[devane617]

See...this is why I stopped making “duplicate” comments. I didn’t call you dup. I commented about the caller and stated that is was best left to the admins.

[Free State Four]

I once admired Peggy. But after she bought her Obama knee-pads and Sarah Palin trashing bag, she is nothing to me.

[mkjessup]

Oh stifle it Peggy, you dingbat! Even one of your heroes Nelson Rockefeller would tell you to shut your piehole, here:

[Carley]

Oh, so it’s hillary’s fault.

It’s a wonder ole peggy didn’t find a way to blame Bush.

[Artemis Webb]

I used to love Peggy Noonan.
I’ll never forgive her though and I sure as hell won’t forget.
I wouldn’t piss on her if she were on fire.

[green pastures]

If it helps any, search frequently is NOT my FRIEND...

Hope your day gets better.

[madinmadtown]

I feel as betrayed by her as the next person, especially for the way she treated Sarah, but I am welcoming all resistance to the powers that be in Washington these days. Remember the Prodigal Son. I am furious that people like her made it possible for Obama to be elected, but I DO
want everyone to understand how dangerous and treacherous our current administration is. I have said that for a very long time that when Obama didn't get his way, it would get very nasty and dangerous, and we are just seeing the beginning of his wrath. He was never what he appeared to be to the swooning likes of Peggy and far too many others. I hope that every one of them soon understands that he represents so much that is contrary to traditional American heritage and ideals.

“Is this what the president wants? It couldn’t be. But then in an odd way he sometimes seems not to have fully absorbed the awesome stature of his office. You really, if you’re president, can’t call an individual American stupid, if for no other reason than that you’re too big. You cannot allow your allies to call people protesting a health-care plan “extremists” and “right wing,” or bought, or Nazi-like, either.”

Nothing has changed with your guy, Peggy - you were duped.

He’s the same radical who came out of nowhere, sat in a racist church for a couple of decades, snuggled up to terrorists and engaged in dirty deals like the Chicago thug he is - all of which he denied.

We tried to warn you.

[reagan_fanatic]

Go whine to someone who cares, Peggy.

You and Obama made your bed, now sleep in it.

[SuziQ]

"Their 2008 win left them thinking an election that had been shaped by anti-Bush, anti-Republican, and pro-change feeling was really a mandate without context; they thought that in the middle of a historic recession featuring horrific deficits, they could assume support for the invention of a huge new entitlement carrying huge new costs."

All I have to say about what the Dems are going to face in 2010 is, "Tuffksi Sh*tski".

[Sunshine Sister]

That’s why I don’t post anything any more.

[Blu By U]

Noonan- “Inexperienced”??????

When are they going to stop covering for him?? He's very experienced. He has a long record of COMMUNIST group organizing experience.

[Vigilanteman]

Poor Peggy has been waiting at the station all this time for the train to relevancy, not realizing service has been discontinued on her track.

Perhaps this is the first sign that she's finally figured it out and is now looking for another track where that train still runs.

[Heart of Georgia]

“Notice at the end of the article, she just can’t help herself as she condescendingly chides the townhall protesters not to give in to violence”

She also gives advice to let things calm down and we’ll come back to health care later - what!!!

She’s still on the rotten side and as far as I’m concerned, they can have her.

[McBuff]

That’s why I don’t post anything any more.

Honestly, I feel the same way. . .but that Peggy Noonan makes me so mad, I couldn't stop myself!

A most visual and accurate analogy!

Didn’t Peggy help elect these goons?

[kevao]

Didn’t Peggy help elect these goons?

An inconvenient truth.

[Prokopton]

cut me some slack willya!?

I believe you. Consider slack cut. :)

[Sunshine Sister]

I posted one thing one time and all the anti religious freepers flamed me for hours. Now I just lurk and let the brave freepers bring me the news.

[Havisham]

Peggy lost me when she said Dick Cheney’s hunting accident was reason for him to resign the vice presidency. whack!

[Leisler]

"They must know at this point they should not have pushed a national health-care plan."

They must of been listening to Mitt Romney, Sissy Graham and the other RINOs. Haahahahah, POWNED by RINO's!

[Havisham]

I’d like to add that Peggy has an odd aspect in panel discussions. She interrupts herself frequently, rarely completing sentences. This matches up with her schizoid political positions. Peggy is at least two persons. I’m being absolutely serious.
