Brian Maloney at Radio Equalizer was stunned to hear trial lawyer and radio host Mike Papantonio (formerly of Air America) say on the Ed Schultz radio show that Barack Obama is "carrying our spear" for the progressives.
Maloney wrote: "JUST IMAGINE the reaction to a conservative host using ‘Obama’ and ‘spear’ in the same sentence! It would dominate the news cycle for days.But don't expect Sharpton & Friends to protest this one." Maloney’s blog has this audio from April 13:
PAPANTONIO: I think he's a terrible negotiator. Think about his background. He comes from a professorship teaching constitutional law at Harvard [incorrect]. Now, there's no negotiating involved there. He doesn't get, you know, down and dirty --
SCHULTZ: So why did progressives support him then?
PAPANTONIO: Because he is good for progressives. Don't get me wrong, Ed, he is good for progressives. He's the only guy out there carrying our spear. ust before that, Papantonio was disgusted that Obama would give any credibility to that "freak" and "little boy" Paul Ryan: "Every time he gives credence to this freak Ryan. It's not just Ryan....he's just a boy. Ryan is just a boy. He's a boy for the Koch brothers. He's no different from Christie or Scott Walker or Rick Scott. But every time he gives the little boy some credibility, it’s a problem. And he has the tendency to do that."
Papantonio had a very exaggerated sense of where conservatives are going: "We’re not going to have government disappear, because that’s what the Republicans want, that’s what Koch wants right now."

Doesn’t it just figure that he’s left handed?
He'll be the first in history to aim a spear at the ground and miss.
Being a spear carrier is OK.
Now if he starts throwing it, that’s where the commentator can get into trouble.

Any chance that we could turn Obama into a spear CATCHER instead of a spear CARRIER? Just joking, I think.
I always thought “spearchucker” was a pejorative...
How much wood would a spearchucker chuck,
If a spearchucker would chuck wood?
Oh, wait. The guy said Obama was carrying progressive's spear.
For America to embark upon a half-way, half-assed war would make sense, for a progressive.
But woe unto us for having this half-baked progressive spear chucker representing the rest of us.
