Elections Be Damned, Conservatives Preserve The Stupid

November 26th, 2008 13 Comments

grover norquistYesterday on CNBC conservative icon, activist and inside man Grover Norquist blamed the economic meltdown on the election of a Democratic congress. He did so with a straight face, apparently totally serious about it and in no way working in the employ of Ashton Kutcher for a wicked PUNK’D. He seems to actually believe it and will be reciting it as fact the way a child once believed in the Legend Of Zelda.

>> Hannity baselessly blamed Democrats, CRA for financial crisis
>> Myths and falsehoods about the purported link between affordable housing initiatives and the financial crisis

    And here I was thinking the legend of Zelda was real.

    Norquist must be listening to Rush every day to form his opinions.

    As Ashton said on Real Time, we’re ALL getting punk’d.

    I can’t help but think this is a wholly manufactured crisis.

    Dang, the headline made me think this was about California’s Article 8. I’m so easily baited and switched…

    Oh, come on, Oliver. He doesn’t mean a word of it. But he knows the idiots in the right-wing base will lap up every word. He lies. That what they do.

    Interesting. What does it say about Conservatives that that headline could be used for postings about so many of their actions?

    OT, thought this is great.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/26/al-qaeda-condemns-pro-oba_n_146706.html

    Counterterrorism Blog reports that Al Qaeda isn’t pleased with the media reaction to its anti-Obama missive:

    Global reactions to Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri’s controversial condemnation of U.S. President-Elect Barack Obama as a “House Slave” (or, alternatively, “House Negro”) have begun to pour in — including via the top jihad web forums used by Al-Qaida to disseminate its propaganda. Though hardcore Al-Qaida supporters have predictably dismissed any criticism of Dr. al-Zawahiri and are fiercely backing his choice of words, there is a rather ironic (if not entirely unfamiliar) twist to this issue. After observing international press reporting on the incident, these same supporters are now bitterly attacking the media for its “unfair” pro-Obama bias and for deliberately “confusing” the meaning of al-Zawahiri’s message.

    See, Jay? You’re not the only ones sad that McCain didn’t win.

    Norquist: Everything bad and Godless in the world is the fault of any elected Democrat. Everything god and Godly and liberty and freedom and capitalist in the world is due to any elected Republican. Good economy? President Bush. Bad economy? Democratic Congress. Etc.

    Or, if you’re Dennis, Bad economy= Democratic President that hasn’t even started yet.

    “I’m so easily baited and switched…”

    Yet another Jay Tea statement that goes without saying.

    Who cares what a walking advertisement for birth control like Grover Norquist has to say.
