Ellison calls for resignation of White House press secretary Gibbs

Rep. Keith Ellison called for the resignation of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs after he said the “professional left” would only be satisfied with the Obama administration after “we have Canadian healthcare and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon.”

In an interview with The Hill, Gibbs vented further: “I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested.” On people who said that President Obama was too centrist, he said, “They wouldn’t be satisfied if Dennis Kucinich was president.”

Rep. Ellison told The Huffington Post, “This is not the first time that Mr. Gibbs has made untoward and inflammatory comments and I certainly hope that people in the White House don’t share his view that the left is unimportant to the presiden. I understand him having some loyalty to the president who employs him, but I think he’s walking over the line.”

Ellison said that Gibbs’ resignation was warranted. “That’d be fair, because this isn’t the first time. And, again, people of all political shades worked very hard to help the president become the president. Why would he want to go out and deliberately insult the president’s base? And why would he confuse legitimate critique with some sort of lack of loyalty.

“we have Canadian healthcare and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon.”

The left should be more patient. Obama is working on it.

Uh, Gibby, we are well on our way to getting Canadian healthcare, thanks to you and your boss, plus a few friends in Congress.

"Hate it when I end up having to side with Gibbs."

Really? I hate it when I end up having to side with Ellison. Even a blind pig can find an acorn once in a while.

The Deranged Left thought Bobo was bought and paid for by them, but they're too lazy (and afraid) to look where the bulk of the $750 million actually came from.

Ellison types instinctively know when the cops have been called and the party's over, and their party is over in November.

A lot of conservatives are created by fringe leftists who aren’t satisfied with people who only agree with 80-90% of their agenda. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gibbs is a freeper in a couple of of years.

Maybe they’ll get all the way to Mussolini, and end up the same way.

Thank you Rep. Ellison C. Minn.

It's time we purged our country of these vermin.

REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!

As soon as Gibbs becomes the slightest liability to Obama he will go straight under the train with Grandma(Typical White Person) and Rev. Wright. Obama is a narcissistic and ungrateful leader.

When I worked a congressional campaign we got to go to DC and see the Capitol at like 11PM at night. We couldn't go on the floor of the house because Ellison was giving a speech to an empty room and CSPAN cameras.

He looked up at us like we were peons and how dare we interrupt him. I will admit I was intoxicated but I flipped him the bird. I knew nothing would come of it because Ellison wants to come off as a wonderful representative of the religion of peace.

But true story, lol.

Stage wrath from the left to convince the independents that Zero is really a moderate.

Phonies.

“Orchestrated attempt at showing the Commie 0bummer Administration as Centrist.”

I am 100% certain that you are right on this.

Yet another distraction....while the nation is burning down. Perhaps the admin can co-opt their base by putting Cindy Sheehan in as PressSec. It really wouldn’t matter because he’s going to do whatever he damn well wants - and send a goon out to lie about it.

I've often wondered how Ellison came to follow The Religion of Pieces.Did he find “the true way” (ahem) while serving a stretch as is the case with most native born moslems in this country?

Popcorn, indeed! Pull up a chair!

If it is true that "Those whom the gods will destroy, they first make proud," we have a whole majority of preening, primping, petulant pantywaist pantloads cruising for a catastophic beat-down. "Pride" is too tame for the conceited arrogance for themselves, and dismissive disdain for the rest of us, which these snotty Dembeciles exhibit at the drop of a hat.

About time they start cannibalizing each other.

As for Gibbs, he is the absolute least-well-suited White House spokesperson I can ever remember seeing twitching at the podium. He reminds me of the kind of tool who got the starch kicked out of him every other day throughout his entire public schooling... the kind of kid everyone loved to hate for all the right reasons.

Well, Pol Pot isn’t available.

Ellison’s correct when he says a big part of Obama’s base is the Left. And Ellison is about as far left as Castro.
