MSNBC has been on this “Republicans shut up” theme all week.

Barf Alert, Peggy Noonan, ex-Reagan staffer, is telling conservatives to shut up and not listen to talk radio. She says "everybody," but she should know that Obama is not going to wave a white flag,

People are angry at their economic vulnerability. They are angry at the deterioration of our culture, angry at our nation's deteriorating position in the world, at our debts and deficits, our spending and taxing, our threatened security in a world of weapons of mass destruction. Their anger is stoked by cynical politicians and radio ranters and people who come home at night, have a few drinks, and spew out their rage on the comment thread. It's a world full of people always cocking the gun and ready to say, if things turn bad, "But I didn't tell anyone to shoot!....But one immediate thing can be done right now, and that is: lower the temperature. Any way you can, and everybody. Just lower it. "

I am one of those people who come home at night and spew my rage, but I don't need any alcohol to put me in the mood. I still want Obama to fail.

Noonan was probably on her second bottle of vino when she wrote this ;-)

That is the democrats motive. To play up all this victim stuff to motivate their base (fund raising letters) and get the weak knee-ed like Noonan to agree with them for Republicans to back off. Matthews says Obama HR is the 1960s civil rights march again.

Fact of life to Noonan and libs : Out of power Midterms are the negative election like 2006 was, Presidental elections are positive (or at least mixed) elections. This year republicans will get ahead being negative (repeal the bill) which is the most fun of all. Next election they will feel forced to go positive (replace the bill) which will frustrate many of us.
