Mark Mousilitas, Owner of Daily Kos, posted this screed on DAILY KOS about 30 minutes ago. Even the crazy nutroots are getting it now!!
Join me in revelling as the insane realize what a failure Obama has been!!
"Summer of 2009, Democratic lawmakers were swarmed by phone callers and town hall attendees by the then-nascent teabagger movement, furious at the creeping socialism of a government-run health insurance option.
You see, Republicans were so worried that the government-run program would be so efficient, effective, and affordable that it would drive the private insurers out of business. And their teabagger allies rose up in unison to defeat this great threat while progressives, burned by serial Democratic capitulation, essentially sat disgusted on the sidelines.
Democratic leaders ignored signs of an intensity gap in 2010, and proceeded to further capitulation and inaction on issue after issue important to base Democrats.
In December 2009, I literally had David Axelrod argue with me in the Green Room of ABC News' This Week that the base would come home because -- I shit you not -- Obama would score big points for negotiating the START treaty. That's when I knew we were doomed in 2010.
Of course, the intensity gap was real, and base Democrats sat on their asses and let Republicans score massive gains in the House and Senate, and punishing Nancy Pelosi -- the best Democrat in DC.
But now, progressives finally seem fired up. REALLY fired up. And it's not because of the latest GOP outrage, but because Obama may have finally capitulated once too many times. They're lighting up the phone lines."
Here’s the part that got to me:
“In December 2009, I literally had David Axelrod argue with me in the Green Room of ABC News’ This Week that the base would come home because — I shit you not — Obama would score big points for negotiating the START treaty. That’s when I knew we were doomed in 2010.”
While the Obamacare line is pure stupidity, this line reveals just how clueless Obama and his followers really are, as to what is happening out here in the REAL WORLD...
The man's nearly destroyed this nation with his socialist agenda and it's not enough?
He’s not Bush.
He’s your first historic black president.
He’s an appeaser and wants to bend over to everyone.
This is what you wanted. What did you expect? Get over it.
Thats' great news.
Leftists are the battered wives of politics. Well, the non-elites, anyway.
They’ll run back to their husband 0bama soon enough, begging him to forgive them for ever being mad at him.
Smack! Don’t go gettin’ outa line again, woman!
Women?
No.
Whos is “Kos” and why should I care what he has to vomit?
Wow...one of the KOs bats thinks Obama’s scared of being President! And that he’s “petrified with fear,” sabotaging a second term! Person said, “I finally figured this out in the middle of my sleep last night. It was an epiphany... guy is pathetic, horrible and weak,” speaking of Obama! Bwaah!
“Chamberlain”? Wilt would never have taken an elbow like that and whined about it. Then there’s the matter of 25,000 women.
Wanna bet? Biden is nothing more than a clumsy 0bambi. Just remember that old saying: “Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.”.
Yep, I thought the same thing. In that sense Marcos was right. That Axelrod thought START was going to save their bacon is proof that these guys are absolutely detached from reality.
Play along, now. Keep the questions for the end.
When the Internet first became big, she had her own alt. newsgroup on Usenet. We are talking Mao’s Little Red Book and all that.
Obama will be a tool of the military-industrial complex soon.
Obama may like to play basketball, but he’s no Wilt Chamberlain.
Only a completely warped mind could say that and believe it.
I almost couldn’t get past this line:
“You see, Republicans were so worried that the government-run program would be so efficient, effective, and affordable that it would drive the private insurers out of business.”
REALLY? Does this insane person REALLY think that? I say “insane” because you have to be not barking-at-the-moon insane, not thinking-the-aliens-are-coming-to-get-YOU insane, not hearing-voices-insane, not dogs-are-really-aliens-insane, but FAR more insane than that to think (1) any large government program is EVER efficient, effective, and affordable, let alone (2) that’s what Republicans were worried about.
WOW!
