mob names only [Archive]

If you want to know who is making people angry, just tune into WNOX after 6pm. Sean Hannity pinches off big turds of government hatred, and by the time Mark Levin airs at 10, the ranting is literal. Levin screams during his show and routinely fires vitriol at liberals that would be legally actionable were it directed at an individual.
But that's not what I wanted to share. I just want everyone to know that when Hannity gets on a roll with his cult, he insists that callers use "mob names only." I guess he refers to his online community as his mob. Republicans are so cute when they lie and make no sense.

You must admit these guys are awesome propaganda pumps.

There has been internet chatter today that "Cash for clunkers" participants will be charged federal income tax on this years taxes. Plainly on the government site it says the consumer will not be taxed, but the "right" is foaming at the mouth over it and that "fukin' Obma". Then there is the noise about the health care reform invading freedom and privacy from the same asshats who voted for a man who suspended habaes corpus and installed the patriot act.

I am all about the fact that I am a hypocrite, but damn I don't treat anyone like they are stupid like that.

It's a play on Pelosi, Reid and Obama's references to the folks showing up at town hall meetings to oppose Obamacare as "angry mobs." Code Pink is an activist group, you see. The folks that showed up yelling and sreaming against Bush's social security reforms were "concerned citizens". The teapartiers are "angry mobs", "hate mongers" and "un-American."

Speaking of Code Pink, where have they been lately? Did the illegal wars of Amerikkkan imperialism and hegemony end? Why even Mother Sheehan can't get no respect. (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/ABCs-Charles-Gibson-to-Cindy-Sheehan-Thanks-for-your-sacrifice-Now-get-lost-53803917.html) I guess that's "change."

Its crucial that this health care bill pass. I hope its got a decent public option in it...

Regardless, teh republican thugs have actually realized this country's worst nightmare. They can gain political traction through threats of violence and screaming louder than the opposition.

This cannot become political precedent.

If Obama rolls over on this they will scream and wave guns for the next 3 years.

Then the real fun will begin. If Obama fucks this up and gets voted out in 3, the person that replaces him will be this countrys worst nightmare. A christian fascist.

I have no doubt in my mind that this country will end up that way anyways. I just dont want it to be right now.

The republican party needs to be dismantled and they need to rebuild on a different more sane platform. If they get their way politically with this horrible agression and nonsense then they have no reason to change and it will further mold them in their current incarnation.

A political victory for them at this point will solidify their party as far worse than they have ever been and ENCOURAGE them to continue this type of behavior.

The teapartiers are "angry mobs", "hate mongers" and "un-American."

Hannity literally is un-American, or at least anti-democracy. He hates the U.S. government. He says it fails at everything it tries, and he paints it as some 'other' separate from We the People. This is Republican boilerplate: the government, our government, our collective effort to govern ourselves sucks.

Hannity is certainly anti-truth. His characterization of both health care legislation and the problems in the industry our country needs to address is completely dishonest. He says the legislation before Congress amounts to complete government takeover of health care, a monstrous lie. When a caller tried to point out that there are actually some mild, reasonable reforms under consideration, he just flatly contradicted the guy and went straight to commercial.

He repeatedly warns listeners about how incompetent government doctors will "take out your liver by mistake or put a stent in the wrong place," as if reform means firing existing doctors, who he repeatedly praises as the best in the world, and replacing them with some sort of second string. Atop this nonsense, he immediately turns around and advocates for tort reform, tort law being what patients use to sue doctors who take out the wrong organ or botch a stent insertion.

The whole enterprise is fundamentally dishonest, but, again, that's Republican boilerplate. The elephant is the party symbol because it is unbelievable how much piss and shit they can produce.

When Bush was president, all protesters were branded as radicals, terrorists, feminazis, trust-fund kids, America-haters, traitors and much worse by all the conservative talk show hosts as well as by FOX news and by several people who would drive by or counter-protest.

Now that Obama is president, all protesters are branded as citizens, grandmothers, hard-working Americans, patriots, etc, by those same media outlets. If you want to complain about how CNN shows the "teabaggers", just remember how you treated anti-Bush protesters.

It's not right, no. But it's quid pro quo.

Protesters have always included citizens, grandmothers, students, hard-working Americans as well as the radical elements the other side loves to demonize.

I don't like the left demonizing the right-wing protest movement any more than I liked the right demonizing the left-wing protest movement. But to every right-wing protester who complains about the way they're being characterized, all I have to say is, "HOW DOES IT FEEL NOW?!"

I hate Reid and Pelosi too, and all the other unprincipled, self-serving whores occupying chairs that should be filled by representatives of citizens.

I used to be careful to distinguish between Republicans and the vile profiteers they inflicted on us, but the party has become so cult-like that there is no point in belaboring such distinctions. The many decent, honest people I know who call themselves Republicans have had more than enough opportunity to put some daylight between themselves and the sick propagandists who are the public face of their party. CubeDoc offered some weak lip service toward that end, and I wish him luck forging something sane from the grotesque circus of liars carrying the Republican banner.

It's not like I think Democrats offer salvation. They are nearly as quick to sell out citizens to corporations as Republicans are, but they do at least acknowledge the serious problems our country faces, and they seem less gleeful about kicking the stool out from under the common man as they genuflect to big donors.

Obama shouldn't be calling his protesters names, agreed.

It's wrong no matter who does it. But it's not new by any means.

Bush shouldn't have done it at every summit he went to, but he did. Cheney was worse. And don't get me started on Rep. Duncan openly and repeatedly lambasting anything and anyone he could remotely tie to environmentalism. It wasn't just Fox News and Rush/Hannity calling Bush-era protesters names.

ALL anti-war protesters were marked as potential homeland security threats under Bush, so the alleged threat level of today's protesters has precedent, too.

The main media (or as Rush lies about it, the liberal, state-run media) wasn't particularly kind to protesters under Bush, though. Most protest stories were done in a negative light on the protesters, focusing on violence or other radical elements, so not much has changed there.

At least protesters now aren't being called traitors and enemies of America. Not yet, that is. Does anyone else remember how often Hannity would call protesting-a-President-during-a-time-of-war an act of treason?
