‘Non-Violent Coup,’ Part of Larger Intolerant GOP Narrative

“This is a damn outrage,” a disgusted David Brooks, the faux conservative columnist for the New York Times, declared on Sunday’s Meet the Press reacting to Republican Senator Bob Bennett’s loss Saturday at Utah’s Republican convention which chose two others to compete in a June primary for the seat. Brooks fretted he was punished for being “a good conservative who was trying to get things done” by “bravely” working with Democrats on health care and supporting TARP. “Now,” he repeated, “he's losing his career over that. And it's just a damn outrage.”

If this is how Brooks feels, I wonder how he’ll feel this November??? If Palin runs/wins in 2012, Brook’s head will explode.

...lots of duct tape needed here ;)

Interesting how the leftists do not like it when the representative form of governance does not benefit the party of government.

Anyone who “bravely” works with the demo-rats should expect the outcome they deserve.

“he's losing his career over that.

And it's just a damn outrage.”

Bob chose poorly, now didn't he David?

And, btw, David, 'we the people' don't elect politicians "to a career!"

What a concept, eh David?

And, get ready for some more outrage, you moron.

. . . “bravely” working with Democrats on health care and supporting TARP . . .

Now this RINO can bravely find a new career, one in which he does less damage to the free world than he did with TARP.

No, Dave! The outrage is the Berkely Prof, member of La Reza, which I believe receives tax payer money, telling students (probably mostly illegals) that they are standing on Mexican soil stolen by the US and they are in the revolutionary vanguard to take it back.

Oh, that is just sedition and anti-govt. bombast incitement to riot, etc. MSM haven't let out a peep that I have heard. It is all about that awful Tea Party and the danger from them.

These people are so irrelevant to more than half the population, sealed in their own little bubble.

Dave, wake up. The people have spoken. That’s all that has happened here and that’s what our system of government was designed to accommodate. Maybe it’s time for you to investigate why this happened instead of complaining.

Dave knows that. But he believes that the people are wrong.

The ruling class knows better. And he's one of them...

So the bum was crying about joining the ranks of the unemployed? It’s about time he grew up and got a real job and you can bet his “real” job will be as a lobbyist.

Ending his career? I also heard Bennett stating that this was the end of his career. They do not get it: We are tired of “career” politicians.

“If Brooks hates it, this must be a GOOD thing!”

Definitely, Juan Williams was almost apoplectic this morning. So it has to be good.

Let’s keep it this way. We all saw what happens when the Times selects GOP candidtates — witness McCain ‘08.

You know what drives these RINOs and Leftists crazy? The fact that the TEA Party has no one leader!

This fact makes us a very politically dangerous opponent to these Statists!

Get used used to Statists and RINOs! We’re not going anywhere...EVER! We’re everywhere!

Why is it that most of us poor schlubs are told not to bother thinking about a career after the age of 55, and we should pity this poor geezer that doesn’t get to extend his career from age 76 to age 82?

Okay, a 76 year old politician wants to go for his 4th 6th year term, after promising to serve only two terms. Bennett’s been in their 18 years and his voters haven’t seen any improvement in the Federal Government in that time. He’s supposed to get 6 more years to fix, what he didn’t fix in the first 18 years? Where’s the beef?
