Kirsten Powers is an honest lib only when kept in check by the likes of Sean Hannity; and lately, Megyn Kelly. She reveals herself as a putrid progressive in her columns, as she did here.

She’s more of a strategist..not an ideologue, and as such has often been viewed as pragmatic, realistic...I suspect that she’s taken a good hard look at recent polling data, and this is her “primal scream” moment...I suspect the GOP is gonna have a really, really , really good electiond ay..

Hey at least she can get all her GOP criticism into one article. If I were to write about all the underhanded stuff the DNC has done, it would make “War and Peace” look like Readers Digest!

I know several Coptic Christians from Egypt, so him being Christian is a possibility; but the Coptics i know are extremely anti-muslim, so the possibility is quite slim.

"The two primary defense mechanisms of liberals, and especially liberal journalists and politicians, are a phony “objectivity” and the projection of “racism”.

Both mechanism allow them avoid actual discussions on the merits of a viewpoint because on the one hand they believe they are the arbiters of what is objective reality so anything else is just a viewpoint unworthy of discussion in the face of their objective “truth”, and if the other party is a “racist” they are deemed unworthy of any consideration at all in terms of discussion or merit.

They have developed and are displaying every day the perfect defense mechanisms to avoid any possibility that they may be wrong, or simply hold a debatable viewpoint."

ditto that

Gee, Kirsten, you’re wrong on everything else. Just wondering how many “ordinary” minorities you’ve hung with over the years. Why, I bet such an “open minded” white gal like you even supports the GROUND ZERO MOSQUE.

When white libs write crap like this, 99.9% of the time it’s only a defense mechanism to cover up their own racist beliefs.

Powers supported the Obama health care reform, and believes it is a moral imperative to supply health care to all Americans. [3]

Powers supports comprehensive immigration reform and providing a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants,[4] favors gun control,[5] and supports equal rights for gay people in the form of universal civil unions, leaving marriage strictly as a religious institution.[6]

She opposes “don’t ask, don’t tell.” [7] and supports closing Guantanamo Bay and putting prisoners in federal prisons. [8]

She opposes the Iraq war,[9] as well as the Fairness Doctrine,[10] and a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning.[11]

She supports a strong separation of church and state.[12]

She also opposes the death penalty,[13]

So many goofy points to tear down in that article.

For one - when did "illegal immigrant" become a race?

Assuming both Savage and Powers are talking about Mexicans, the vast majority of Mexicans are white.

Of course NOTHING about the racist NAACP’s childish attempt to bait white people. And of course the Black Panther’s thing was just so “phony” And Lyin Lewis and Rep. Beaver Cleaver all documented the N-word on tape and witnesses, eh, Kirsten?

Oh and Shirley Surefraud was just an innocent victim. Such a non-racist gal she turned out to be.

You’re an asskisser, Kirsten, plain and simple. And a hypocrite.

*That’s all they’ve got. And “intolerant”.*

I think they just learned the word intolerant...or they have been using it sparingly up until lately.

The only other thing they have is, “Blame Bush.”

It's like the lion from the 1960’s that had a string in his back. You pulled the string and he could say three different sentences.

“Honest lib” is a contradiction in terms. I used to say that somewhat facetiously, but now believe it utterly true. They are the party of “The ends justify the means” and the more desperate they become the more egregious their lies and distortions.

I have grown to despise this woman. Some people, talking heads, whatever, at the very least have open minds. Progressives have very closed minds, but still minds. Kirstin has none, she borrows other peoples minds.

"Megyn Kelly needs to have Kirsten back on for another spanking."

That was sweet!

Every time you think one of the dimocratic strategists, while misguided, at least appear to have a semblance of sense and reason, they go and support something like that travesty of justice the NBP debacle turned into.

Kirsten Powers is an idiotic moron just like the rest. She just conceals it better than most (sometimes).

Mush brained. The left is mush-brained.

They are incapable of understanding foundational constructs that have evolved over eons —practical and common sense that humans have developed that is absolutely essential to survive.

We are so saturated with ‘mush-brained” left wing philosophy where nothing is concrete —Nothing EXCEPT the tarnishing crime of uttering the radioactive, infantilesque-named, doo doo—pee pee, “N-word”.)

The fact of the matter is, in an age where Christians can be shat upon, spat upon, ridiculed, their most sacred symbols defiled and ridiculed for entertainment...

Where the unborn, unique and precious lives of our future brothers and sisters are snuffed out as too much of a hassle to deal with...

Where females can be marketed in every degrading, humiliating, loss of all human dignity depiction imaginable to tittilate tawdry appetities and generate profit in the billions...(and gosh, let’s see, that’s odd, were’nt females oppressed historically too ? In fact, didn’t black males gain the right to vote in this country about 60 years before any female did? Hmm...Is this a *gasp* double standard?)...

In this hedonistic, indulgent and callous age, the left wing has deemed one SIN the ulitmate scarlet letter—punishable by career ending ostrasization, the radioactive worst of the worst.

The absurdly called N-WORD.

Even the silliness of having to abbreviate it smacks of ther infantile nonsensical mush brains driving this playground drivel.

We are Adults, we KNOW what is offensive, when and what to say—we do not need silly semantic re-packaging as if we are toddlers.

Know this for what it really is. It is not some enlightened, high-mindedness-—it is abject pandering for favor by the left....this no saying the meanie ‘n-word’ out loud, but feel free to call the women in your circle any slut language you delight in (the left thinks that’s societally hip, don’t you know, just too damn bad about any little 6 year old girls that get the message).

And as we sit here cowed by such infantile nonsense...
forced to spell out the offensive word as if we are 1st graders ...

Black comics and rappers blast the same language to the heavens....burning it into the forming minds of their youthful fans—but making it “black—only” and DARING anyone else to utter the sacred revulsion. It is a trap. A way to continuously play “gotch-ya” and flog anyone that dares “inflect” in the WRONG way.

“Do what I say and not what I do”. Such integrity of thought, very admirable.

We have gone completey mad.

I see that the bottle blonde bimbo has reverted to her Doberman status. With apologies to Dobermans, of course. She is a hypocrite, decrying attacks on 0bambi while spewing hatred for all but RATs.

She is in urgent need of a burqa and some caning.

The only thing phony and trumped up is this presidency.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

First rule of liberals when involved in a discussion of whatever topic: call your conservative opponent a nazi. Second rule: call him a racist. Third rule: call him or her a homophobe. Lastly: simply if you’re at a loss to remember anything about the issue, call your conservative opponent a hater. These are four tried and tested rules for libs. It sure beats having to do hard work like understanding the issue and knowing the facts. (smirk)
