During John Boehner's weekly press conference on Thursday, MSNBC's Luke Russert took advantage of the recent raucous speaker election to praise the Ohio Republican as “one of the most conservative members” of the House of Representatives “during the last 20 years.”

“I tell you what pains me the most is when they describe me as ‘the establishment,'” the newly re-elected speaker stated. “Now, I’m the most anti-establishment speaker we have ever had.”

” The push is to paint liberal squishes like Boehner as conservative, and real conservatives as terrorist extremists.”

Tea Party members are mass murderers, just waiting for the right moment.

To them, anyone not to the left of Trotsky is a far-right wing conservative. No surprise.

Spot the quote.
Hmmm...
That could be Harry Reid, or one of those think tanks in the past few years that stated that US soldiers are terrorists as well as anyone who wants the constitution upheld.

MSM really going all-out to protect Boner. One is left to wonder why.

I was thinking the same thing. They're not denouncing him as a conservative, they're providing his bona fides, because, apparently, conservatives is stupid.

And if MSNBC is going to bat for you, I'm assuming it's not because you are too conservative.

When simply questioning whether or not federal legislation is “good for America” labels one as conservative...I guess Boner qualifies?

Just because PMSNBC says it doesn’t make it so, nor does it fool the people into believe the lies they say.

The facts (his record) speak otherwise.

The sad thing is that one half of the American electorate do believe he is to the right of brother John Birch.

The problem with alchoholism is it gives its victim a false self image. He may well believe he is conservative. All that proves is he is delusional. We are saddled with a narcissist homosexual for president and a drunk sycophant for speaker. How can it be worse?

The guy on the right has some kind of long stain down the inside of his pant leg and that guy on the far left is really creepy – especially when his Adam's Apple jumps around when he gets excited!
