Has anybody noticed that in the last 1-2 weeks we’ve seen both Clintons working solidly like Democrats to advance the President’s programs? (And the country’s, of course; that’s the point.) Must be really scary to their enemies, and it seems to be showing.

Also must annoy some idiots on my so-called side, which is also OW’s, who were sure she would insidiously subvert all Obama’s work.

Oh, those were concern trolls? Yeah, I guess that could be true.

That’s one more play in the cynical playbook at work here.
1. Create oultine for amateur middle class nihilists to follow: disrupt; heckle; shout down and suck up all the air in any town hall meeting so no one but the lemmings can be heard;
2. Respond to any attempt, any attempt to keep or restore order by screaming ‘jackbooted thuggery’ etc.
3. In other words if no attempt is made to try to instill some modicum of civilized behavior – the meetings will continue to be shouted down; in the event the lemmings do get called out on their behavior scream foul. “LOOK MA THE BAD TEAACHER MADE ME STOP KICKING SAND IN THE SAND BOX!!! WHAAAAAA.”

The unintended irony here is that this is pretty much the same playbook used by Stalin’s legions at union meeting halls for example in the US and abroad in the 30s-50s, disrupt, shout down and react with mock outrage when confronted. They also counted on mindless allegiance to the ‘correct line’.

Oh, and how did these same folks respond to campus disruption of speeched by Coulter, Malkin etc. – - – I seem to recall a lot of condemnation of their un-American behavior in trying to suppress speech, they’re afraid of countering ideas etc. If you were correct then – why are you correct now? Give up? You’re not.

Bolton is ridiculous.

Don’t worry, you’ll learn on the job. The same way we did.’

Jumpin’ Jehosephat, you are one deluded shazzbot.

Poor, poor Dumbya; constantly maligned unfairly and unrecognized as the brilliant diplomat and military genius….

Nope…couldn’t even finish that as sarcastic retort.

Bush is a joke and those who continue to support him after everything that’s known about his abject failures and Herculean hubris is simply sad.

This is the APPROPRIATE response to any and all neocon nicompoopery. They must be laughed off the set of every cable show, every op-ed in the land. No other group has been so consistently wrong about absolutely everything.

… the sentiment seems to really be chapping your ass these days.

Not at all. Liberals love debate and disagreement, regardless of who’s in charge. Have you read Glenn Greenwald lately?

I mean, I voted for Bill Clinton twice, and if I had it to do over again I’d do the same thing, and I had major disagreements with his time in office. I’m not impressed with much of Hillary Clinton’s politics, but she gets a few things right, and when she does I appreciate that. Barack Obama is one of the most inspiring politicians I’ve ever seen, and will probably turn out to be the best president of my lifetime, but he has also made some terrible decisions so far — and I’m not afraid to say so when he does.

It’s called nuance. Liberals don’t act like they’re part of the Borg. We understand that people have the capacity to make both good and bad choices. That’s why we don’t rip each other to shreds for disagreeing out loud. In fact, we encourage it. Dissent reminds us that we are free people. Debate is often educational, particularly if it’s expressed in a respectful way.

Shouting prevents dissent. Shouting is not the expression of an argument, it is the suppression of an argument. It indicates that those doing the shouting are afraid of ideas, afraid of what might happen if they took the time to listen or had the consideration to let others do so.

It’s why I don’t often watch Crossfire or listen to the bloviations of Limbaugh or the “conversations” of Hannity and O’Reilly. Not because I disagree with their ideas, but because I can’t adequately consider their ideas while they’re in the midst of a tantrum — and I find it difficult to respect their ideas when they’re interrupting others.

I mean, that’s just rude.

TwitOliver: did @karlrove have secret service detail? i doubt so.

You doubt wrong.

That’s another lie. Stop it.

It’s the fact that they work as well against your agenda, as they do for your agenda.

Funny, I don’t see much evidence that any of this teabagger crazy nonsense is working. But you guys double-down on that, if that’s what you think, put all your eggs into that basket — please. Please don’t throw us librul Bill Ayers thugs into that brier patch, no, no, please don’t.

You’ll feel better.

Quit making shit up.

Which is why the latest polling shows most American’s favor Obama’s plan?

That’s the funny thing about you cons. Ever since 2006 you’ve forgotten that all the joking about blacks and gays and women doesn’t actually win you elections, but you think it does.

Very strange.

See, that’s where you lose folks like Dennis.
