“imagine…had somebody walked around with images of hitler!”

By American Girl in Italy on November 9, 2009 at 11:30 PM in Current Affairs

(Bumped up from Saturday.)

“I will continue to say what I’ve said before. You hear in this debate, you hear analogies, you hear references to, you see pictures about and depictions of individuals that are truly stunning, and you hear it all the time. People — imagine five years ago somebody comparing health care reform to 9/11. Imagine just a few years ago had somebody walked around with images of Hitler.” ~ Robert Gibbs, November 6, 2009

Could you just IMAGINE! Just a few years ago, could you imagine someone walking around with images of Hitler!

Uh….yea, Sparky! We can imagine.

Hot Air has a story up about ol’ Gibbsy and his shock and horror that people actually showed up at Capital Hill on Thursday with signs of Hitler.

Allahpundit links to The Weekly Standard, Gibbs: Can You Imagine if, 5 Years Ago, People Had Protested With Hitler Pictures?!?

Today, Robert Gibbs lamented some of the offensive signs at Bachmann’s anti-health bill rally (of which there were some, but not enough to even fill out HuffPo’s 12 Most Offensive slideshow).

Let’s help Gibbs out with this in particular:

Imagine just a few years ago had somebody walked around with images of Hitler.

Let’s see if we can imagine that, Bob. Click here, and just keep scrolling.

Or, here. You will be scrolling for a solid five minutes to exhaust the Hitler images employed by the left for eight solid years against Bush, and that’s in just two blog posts. They were ubiquitous; far more prevalent that Nazi imagery in the Tea Party movement. Saying what Gibbs said, or repeating it credulously, requires an incredible amount of dishonesty.

Hmm, let’s try a search on Flickr, just so we’re sure I’m not cherry-picking.

Looking for something more recent? How about Alan Grayson’s health-care Holocaust in America crusade, by which Gibbs was markedly less “stunned” despite the fact that Grayson’s an elected official making Holocaust comparisons on the floor of the House. Imagine.

Before Gibbs took leave of his senses and all sense of history today, the White House had a more petulant response to the gathering, at which actor Jon Voight spoke. Yesterday, Gibbs very kindly stopped himself from making a “Deliverance” joke about the attendees. Considerate.

I would argue that the White House Press Secretary implying a joke about how protesters are rednecks prone to anal rape would fall into the category of “stunning” and “personally disagreeable,” but I digress.

Some of you might remember my post a while back, Did Obama Joker Poster Cross the Line.

I got into a little argument with someone over at Mediaite about the offensive signs at Tea Parties. I wrote:

As for the handful of extreme posters at the event, I honestly have no doubt at this point that they were created and brought to the event by the Left with the sole purpose of getting them on the news, and making the Tea Party protesters look bad. The protesters know that these images are used against the movement, and do not benefit their cause. Either they are brought by a few extremists, who we know exist in BOTH PARTIES, or they are brought by people with the intent of smearing the protesters.

To which they replied:

Hey Sarainitaly, you are the reason I stopped coming to this website. You are unreal. “I honestly have no doubt at this point that they were created and brought to the event by the Left.” What proof do you have of this? Why would the left need to do as much when there is a such a deep reservoir of hate against Obama on the right?

I really wish you would just leave this website and take your crazy elsewhere. Please.

Once my laughter subsided, I replied:

First of all – the big Hitler Obama posters (spotted at Tea Parties everywhere) were done by LaRouche, which is a left wing group. The LaRouche Group is mad because Obama won’t go left enough, and go for universal health coverage, but they really shouldn’t compare him to Hitler or the holocaust. On their web site they have STOP OBAMA’S NAZI PLAN and have been lugging those Obama/Hitler signs all over the place.

Here are just a few examples.

Beware: Lefties Plan To Infiltrate Tax Day Tea Parties
Neil Lambert on Trying- and Failing! – to Infiltrate the Tea Party Movement “My goal was simple: make the most ironic signs possible…”

There is much more online, feel free to search for more yourself. Or you can just continue to insult me I suppose….

Also, Tea Party organizers from all over the country urged attendees to not bring anything offensive or that can be used against the group to make them look bad. So, when the occasional whacked out sign does show up, there is very good reason to believe it is not a true tea party attendee.

So, back to Gibbs, yes Gibbsy – we can imagine people toting around signs of Hitler. The Left has been doing it for seven years, and they are still doing it, they’re just blaming the Tea Party Peeps.

I do think there are probably some extremists that come to these rallies, but I absolutely believe that a good chunk of it is coming from the Left.

But what I want to know is, where the hell has Gibbs been for the last 8 years?

(and I have yet to receive a reply from shootfromthehip… go figure.)

  • Ferd Berfle

    Nice commentary AGII and timely, to boot. The left is bereft of anything meaningful to say. All they have are slogans, rants, and a leader who is anything but. I was a Democrat for many years until May 2008 but I don’t recognize these fools as anything but arrogant little snips whose parents were their bestest friends in the whole world but not very good in the rearing of children department. If this represents our future, I’m glad I’m in my 50s.

    I laugh in their general direction.

    • Freedom Fighter

      Ummm, if American Girl is correct in saying that the progressives have been doing this for over 7 years, why did it only take you until May of 2008 to realize it? So who is the dishonest one here?

      • TeakWoodKite

        You are.

      • Portia Elizabeth

        Silly, silly silly.

        FF– of course we all knew about it all that time, but unlike Obots, we recognized that it’s a part of free speech. And guess what? In America we’re given that right as well as the right to disagree with that speech. In fact, we who’ve watched the dissent transition from Bush to BO find it a bit amusing that, while most Americans have accepted those derogatory posters as by-products of a free society, Obots with their thin skin and their short memories, whine and cry and pitch little hissy fits when the target is their idol.

      • Ferd Berfle

        Well, low-wattage one, I wasn’t a “progressive”, which is truly an equivocation as you duds are more regressive. And the other fact is that I thought HRC might have had a chance had she gone to the floor with the fight. Why do you continue to debase yourself by wearing your ignorance on your shirtsleeve for everyone to mock? You really do need to get a new line of work as you’re weakening the subject of your fawning adoration each and every time you post. On the other hand, if you keep up this weakening of That One by your childish blather, the sooner you’ll be under the bus, too.

      • Prime Obot

        Go, Freedom Fighter, go! Fight the good fight on NQ! I love this site.

      • Onofre’s arm

        If American Girl is correct? IF??? FF, how much more proof does AGII need to provide to penetrate the massively thick skull housing your pea sized brain?

      • Tammy

        You are hilarious! The Bush is Hitler signs were accepted because the MSM loved to bash him.
        But when the same abuse is put upon your Messiah, Obama, you can’t TAKE it.
        I’m laughing my ass off at your hypocrisy.
        But that’s your calling card, isn’t it “FREEDOM”
        fighter?
        You’re not about freedom, you are all about YOUR point of view being “hailed” to.

        Heil Obama!!!!!!!

    • Prime Obot

      The night that the House of Representatives passes the most important domestic policy legislation in a generation, you say the left has nothing meaningful to say? How pathetic could one person possibly be? What planet do you live on? Agree or disagree with this legislation, to claim that the left has nothing to say is sheer blithering idiocy.

      • Tammy

        I live in reality, Prime Obot.
        I don’t live in my Mamma’s basement, nor do I have a Government job that produces nothing(and is paid for by all of us).

        Oh, you LEFT have a lot to say, but it has nothing to do with reality.

        Go ahead and pass the bill! I’m a pro choice person, but I’m damned if I’m going to pay taxes for another person’s “choice” to have an abortion.
        And if I have to go to prison for it(it’s in the bill) I WILL go to prison. At least I’ll get good healthcare(paid for by YOU, idiot).

        Do you know that the Government is run by YOUR taxes, or do you think that their income comes from the money fairy?

    • Prime Obot

      And by the way, AGI: good post. It was amusing to scroll down some of those links seeing just how much Nazi imagery was deployed against Bush. I gotta say, though, this week was the first time I can remember seeing anyone use actual images of concentration camp corpses. That is beyond offensive and into the realm of sacrilege. I’m from Eastern European Jewish people, so of course most of my family tree was lost in the Holocaust. I simply cannot imagine how my grandparents would have reacted to signs like that.

      • Tammy

        HA!
        A Jew in heritage only.
        It’s funny when you guys who hate Israel bring out your Jewish heritage.
        This really has become the anti-semite site.

        Bush is Hitler. Funny how Obama didn’t immediately ban the Patriot Act.
        In fact, he’s stepped it up to a level that Bush NEVER did.

        You’re from “Eastern European Jewish people”
        Too bad you don’t defend them.
        Instead, you defend a Jew hater named Obama

        • Prime Obot

          This is the kind of NQ post that is just astonishing. Because I mention my Jewish heritage and like Barack Obama, you therefore feel qualified to say I hate Israel? Did you ever hear me equate Bush with Hitler, or defend those who have? Elsewhere on this thread I’ve complimented the author for puncturing the hypocrisy of the left. Are you even aware of that? Fool.

  • Obamastolemycountry

    I am so suck of the nut jobs on both sides, Gibbsy included! What a bunch of stupid America Haters we have. My idea for true reform is for all the America Haters to pack up their crap, Hitler signs included and go put all their BS controlling crap into law on their own fricking continent or deserted island or whatever fits the masses, then leace America to those of us who love it and all of it’s freedoms and debates and compromises that keep it great. In other words:

    AMERICA HATER LUNATICS GET THE F!#$ OUT!

    • Obamastolemycountry

      oops! Typing too fast-sick and leave correction! dang.

      I can’t believe I am watching Cspan and cleaning house on a Saturday night!

      • Ferd Berfle

        The world has turned upside-down and inside-out.

        • Kinder Gentler Galt

          Ferd, I attribute things more to many of us now seeing the pattern in the noise that due to our own myopia we failed to see before. We were once “bots” if we are honest with ourselves.

          • Ferd Berfle

            Perhaps but then I have no axe to grind with those who would tell the unvarnished truth. I have been fighting bots from both the right and left for years and am an equal-opportunity exposer of their falsehoods–first on the old Yahoo message boards against the bushbots and later here against both. I understand the gist of your comment but feel that someone has to take a stand against unexamined beliefs and the inability of a major portion of the electorate to see beyond style and format. The lock-step rigidity shown by those who comment here, toeing the Administration line, do not represent any sort of ability to see clearly, indeed it demonstrates just the opposite–blindness. Dittoheads are a cancer on the body politic.

            • Kinder Gentler Galt

              Think back further. Surely even Ferd was some sort of a bottish creature just like everyone else at some point. :)

              I’m with you though on Bush II and Obama. I’ve been critical of both all along.

              • Ferd Berfle

                Yeah–I liked Bill Clinton and defended him, in spite of his bimbo eruptions.

                • jwrjr

                  Despite his unfortunate indiscretions, Clinton worked for the betterment of his country. Compare that with Bush-the-lesser and especially Ozero.

                  • Kinder Gentler Galt

                    Clinton worked for the betterment of his country.

                    Except NAFTA?

                    I liked President Clinton overall, in spite of the demonizing by the psychotic extremists amongst us.

                    • jwrjr

                      Would you settle for “Clinton worked for the betterment of his country, even if some of the efforts turned out to be poorly judged”? In any case, he was still light-years ahead of Obama who does not even pretend to try to improve things for anybody other than his campaign contributors.

                      I would say that sums it up rather nicely, jwrjr. Thanks for stepping in.

                      I was in general agreement with you and was attempting to inoculate the thread by mentioning President Clinton’s worst error in judgment. I figured one of the resident conservatives would point that out, so I beat em to it. ;)

                      So anyway, I was trying to help. :)

                • Prime Obot

                  Ferd, could you tell me specifically what Clinton did that Obama is not doing, or trying to do? I mean in terms of policy. Could you tell me specifically, for instance, since you’re such a big Bill Clinton fan, how the Clintons’ health care bill differs from the current bill that just passed the House tonight?

                  • nan

                    Actual Health care for women, for one thing.
                    I don’t recall a mention of being forced to buy health care or face prison back in Clinton’s time.

                    Prime, this is not a health care bill ANYONE should be proud of. To pass this so Obama can have a “win” is insane and will come back to destroy him.

                    • Kinder Gentler Galt

                      To pass this so Obama can have a “win” is insane and will come back to destroy him.

                      nan:

                      You’ll never get an honest response from a half-wit like prime obutt as it isn’t interested in anything we have to say, irrespective of its protestations to the contrary because it is nothing more than a middle-school prankster bent on his “look-ma-no-hands” schtick. I only hope that the administrators of NQ finally see that this mental midget is a real thread killer and not by accident. More than likely it has also commented under the names of flamers as Freedom Fighter, Francis, believe, Debbie, Kelvin, ee, detractor, UKforDems, and any number of other vapid trolls posting here because it can with impunity. Frankly I grow weary of the sophomoric blather and deliberately terminal obtuseness demonstrated by its irrelevant and childish posts that are solely designed to cause a thread to go completely off-topic. It can get its $0.05 per post somewhere else.

                      Would that I had such a thing. More likely, however, is that it is perpetrated by an application with a terminal glitch. What chaps my backside is that dittoheads of all persuasions can post their banality with complete impunity, hijack threads, and defecate in the NQ backyard without so much as a caution. Regular commenters, though, such as oowawa, Teakwoodkite, Peggy Sue, and others too numerous to mention get their comments scrubbed routinely–even when copying part of the text of the topic into their own comment.

                      I work in the IT field and know of no application that can detect “banality” or hijacked threads, let alone what anyone might mean by “defacation.” I certainly have plenty of my comments hijacked, but I also know of no NQ commentator more mean-spirited than you. There is quite certainly a glitch in the posting software here, but it has nothing to do with content.

                    • Prime Obot

                      You don’t recall this because you aren’t interested in the facts:

                      The Clinton health plan required each US citizen and permanent resident alien to become enrolled in a qualified health plan and forbade their disenrollment until covered by another plan. It listed minimum coverages and maximum annual out-of-pocket expenses for each plan. It proposed the establishment of corporate “regional alliances” of health providers to be subject to a fee-for-service schedule. People below a certain set income level were to pay nothing. The act listed funding to be sent to the states for the administration of this plan, beginning at $13.5 billion in 1993 and reaching $38.3 billion in 2003.

                      Okay?

                      But Ferd we should really consider the esteemed writer’s (prime regurgitate butt )opinion. You know according to him, he can write (I use the term loosely) a manuscript in all of 2 minutes. That gift cannot be dismissed– as he has begs us daily to accept.

                    • Prime Obot

                      Ferd, I find it amusing that you continually ask NQ’s administrators to kick me out, when it is you (and others) who are continually mean-spirited, insulting and abusive in your responses (you’re back to calling me “it” again, like the criminally insane Buffalo Bill. Because Obama and I people like us aren’t human, are we). I also find it amusing that you were telling Nan not to expect a reply from me when in fact I had already replied, with proof of my point.

                      You just go on and keep begging the admins to boot me out so there will be no one around to strip your buzz.

                      And Donna: yes, I am a professional writer with a journalism background now working in Silicon Valley. I covered tech in the 90s, joined a dotcom in 2000 (as a writer, not an engineer) and have been in this field ever since.

                    • Donna Brazile

                      Like I said Prime OButt, I love ya! You keep giving NQ hits by the dozens.

                      Ferd may want you to go but I’ve never known a more prolific, do nothing writer, like you. If you left, this site would just be full of informed people and what’s the joy in that.

                      Stop the I once had a job fest!

                    • Prime Obot

                      Ferd wants me to go because he’s an intellectual coward. You notice that someone else, Nan, answered my question about health care, which I had posed to him. He did not. He never does. He’s a coward who likes posturing like a peacock with his carefully composed Obama insults in front of an entirely friendly crowd. Challenge him to actually discuss issues and he is strangely silent. Speak in a dissenting voice, as I do on NQ, and we learn who the real political thinkers are (the many people here who jump in and argue with me), and who the cowards are, like Ferd, who just love love love to hurl insults from the safety of an approving crowd, but never never never actually put their political knowledge to the test.

                      The Ferds of the world don’t like dissenting voices that spoil their fantasy of universal wit and popularity. So they cry for the admins to ban me. Pathetic.

    Great post, AGII. Gibbs, or “Spokes-Weasel,” as I like to call him, is really too much. What is wrong with these people? Can they really not remember what happened a YEAR ago?? And if they cannot, then they shouldn’t BE RUNNING THE COUNTRY!!!

    Sheesh.

      • Kinder Gentler Galt

      • Portia Elizabeth

        Wrong again, FF.

        I’m a Hillary supporter who happens to like Sarah Palin and found those disgusting posters reprehensible because they had nothing to do with her political views and everything to do with her gender.
        But I didn’t go to HuffPo or Kos and cry about it. I just kept making donations to the McCain campaign. And even though they lost, I consider it money well spent.

        • Katmoon

          Money well spent Portia, I did the same donations for the same reasons.

        • Freedom Fighter

          It’s not money well spent. Repubs are wrong on women’s issue, African American issues, and GBLT issues. There is a reason why women, African Americans and people in the GBLT communities overwhelmingly supported Obama. Many feminists have said Palin is nothing but a female impersonator.

        • Prime Obot

          You’re a Hillary supporter who also likes Sarah Palin? On what basis? The two women stand for absolute opposites in practically every sector of policy. Astonishing.

          • nan

            Prime, here’s what I liked in Palin and I am far more liberal than Obama: She is self-made. Her parents were public school teachers and she was not born into power. She won a college scholarship
            in a beauty contest. Unusual, but she got to college without dinging her parents too much.
            Very middle class, or is that something to be embarrassed about?
            As Governor she challenged the Rep old boys oil & gas corruption, something Obama would have never done.
            (He would have joined the graft party judging from his Chicago history.)

            Palin increased funding for Headstart – Obama?, not so much. She put a pro-choice woman on the State supreme Court, though she is anti choice. This should be the kind of Republican we would want to work with if unity were our REAL goal.
            That could never happen because she nailed him to his self-made cross with her Rep convention speech. “Two memoirs and not a single piece of legislation”. No one encapsulated Obama better.

            Obama said he wanted to work across the aisle, presumably with Republicans. Can you think of another one so open as Palin, whom you despise because…???

            • Prime Obot

              Thank you for this intelligent reply, Nan. I do not “despise” Palin; I too respect her self-made rise, which has been extremely impressive. And I too can point to a few things she did in her brief time as governor and say I approve of them. But yes, I too am “more liberal than Obama,” so I cannot help but be aware that the position Governor Palin has chosen to take in the American political system is to the far right. Those are the people she embraces, those are the positions she now espouses, those are the belief systems she empowers. You can tout her appointing a pro-choice woman to the state Supreme Court, which is all well and good, but to the extent that she is or remains or becomes a force in national politics, she will be a pro-life force, and you know this in your heart. She and Michele Bachman have become the leading avatars of the most right-wing, intolerant, repressive evangelical right-wing of the Republican Party. She is wrong on literally every issue I can think of, and she encourages the worst sort of political thinking in this country: bumper sticker reactionary hate-filled thought. The kind of thought that turns “voluntary end of life counseling with the doctor of your choice being added to Medicare” into “death panels” and “Obama wants to kill your grandmother.” And as for those on this site who support GLBT issues like gay marriage: are you kidding me?

              And then there is just the pure intelligence issue. I listened to Palin’s many TV interviews during the presidential campaign, and I’m sorry, she is simply not a serious political thinker. I am as thrilled as any longtime feminist (which I am) by the continued emergence of women into political leadership in this country, but I am not willing to pretend to consider Palin a potentially positive national leader just because of her gender. I am progressive, so I support other progressive politicians: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and so on. What I find perpetually bewildering about this site (and, I admit, fascinating) is how people who profess similar liberal beliefs can nonetheless attack Obama and claim to hope he fails. Like, Hillary’s health care plan was good but Obama’s is bad? How is it possible that any rational human being could say these things? HRC and Obama are now, and have always been, fighting for the same things. Yes, they competed vigorously for the presidential nomination. Obama won. Hillary’s a grownup and a true public servant so she got over it and is now playing an immensely important role in helping her country, as always. Would that this last band of her followers could do the same.

  • TeakWoodKite

    Sorry for the OT AGI, but the Stupak Amendment on abortion is being voted on.
    Kasie Hunt from CongressDaily is reporting on C-Span that the Archbishops objected to the language in the underlying bill regarding funding abortion.

    The funk is that the Conservative Dem’s said they would side with the Arch Bishops in deciding their vote.

    So much for separation of Church and State. Nancy Pelosi had to do a late night deal to quell the rebellion in the ranks.
    Insane.

    • Kinder Gentler Galt

      The funk is that the Conservative Dem’s said they would side with the Arch Bishops in deciding their vote.

      So much for separation of Church and State.

      I believe the separation of church and state doctrine to be sound ans wise public policy. That being said, those Democrats are free to base their votes however them deem fit. And really, this is not much different than all those liberal Dems siding with the Obamessiah on deciding their vote. ;)

      • TeakWoodKite

        What you say is true.
        I would just note that the reporter said it was only after a religious third party influenced a secular vote. It was pressure from a “special interest” that swayed their vote and got the Speaker of the House to make a midnight deal to stop funding abortion. My understanding is that it was the only Republican amendment accepted but was a conservative Democratic raised issue.

        • FranSC

          I was very surprised about Nancy Pelosi hanging on the phone all day Friday with the Archbishops who said, they would not *allow* those pro-life dems to vote for the bill unless it did not include funding for abortion. The part that surprised me was the fact anyone or anything could convince NP to abandon one of her far-left obsessions.

          I believe the only reason she listened to the archbishops is she knows she daily teeters on the edge of ex-communication from the Catholic hierarchy. Primarily, she apparently realized it was relent to this or face complete defeat.
          I wonder what the bishops would think about how Pelosi arrived at this moment – one of her many reasons for giving her blessing to the fraudulent methods and means used to nominate/elect B0 POTUS. If she doesn’t go to hell for that, then hell must not exist.

  • Katmoon

    There is a rumor the Democratic Senator From OK (Coburn) is threatening to have them read the bill from the floor. They say it would take six months to do so.

    • Kinder Gentler Galt

      Sounds like a smashing idea! :)

    • TeakWoodKite

      GO for it! That is the BEST IDEA I have heard in months! Bloody brillant!

      I would buy the clerks a years supply of Caffine.

      • Katmoon

        I agree, and think encouraging any and all to do this if Coburn doesn’t is a e-mail or letter worth trying to get across tonight. It is brilliant.

        • Ferd Berfle

          I sent Senator Coburn an email encouraging him to do it. I will also write my own Senators to urge them to lend him their support. It is certainly worth a shot.

    • Obamastolemycountry

      only six months? That can’t be right. He’ll need potty breaks and snack breaks and water breaks! I am all for it. If he can read really slow, we just might get to the end of Obama’s historic debacle and just think! There would be no more harm done! I like it!

      • TeakWoodKite

        After all one could, as a representive who is reading challenged, Ipod the bill and by the end of it if they still wanted to vote on it. So be it.

        At what points can it be asked for a reading after conference and before final vote?

        • Katmoon

          Checking on it Teakwood. Maybe we need an open thread on this.

          • Katmoon

            My apologies for the off topic AGI

            Got it!

            Rule XIV of the Standing Rules of the United States Senate, established by the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, governs joint resolutions, resolutions, and preambles of joint resolutions and resolutions in the Senate.

            Readings of bills and joint resolutions

            Paragraph 2 states that every bill and joint resolution shall receive three readings prior to its passage. Upon demand of a Senator, these readings shall be on three different legislative days. The Presiding Officer shall give notice at each reading whether it be the first, second, or third. A provision that each reading may be by title only, unless the Senate in any case shall otherwise order.

            Need more clarity on that by title only provision.

            A legislative day begins when the Senate convenes and ends with adjournment; hence, it does not necessarily coincide with the calendar day.

            Aren’t they only in session3-4 days a week now?

            • Onofre’s arm

              I think the most important thing to note here is the obvious intent by the people that crafted these rules. They very wisely prescribe reading the bill three times, on THREE DIFFERENT DAYS!! They never imagined that bills of such magnitude and complexity could, or would, EVER be written by the legislature, for a very basic reason. They realized that for a law to be fair, it must be easily understood by the common man. When a bill is passed it becomes LAW! None of the assholes who voted for this garbage, have read it, or could possibly know ALL of the rules contained in it which we will ALL have to abide by or be considered lawbreakers. Laws should be simple (could be read in less than a day!) and easily understood by the people who will have to abide by them. Any “law” that requires that teams of lawyers spend weeks trying to figure it out, is at best a worthless law, and at worst, an intentionally oppressive law.

              The founders NEVER imagined that a body the size of Congress could ever contain a MAJORITY of insane, power mad, megalomaniacs who would so abuse their power that they would craft legislation that is in direct violation of the Constitution, with the vile intent of enslaving the people, and enriching themselves and their buddies. They could NEVER, EVER have imagined that criminally insane turkeys like Nazi Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barrack Obama, could sneak past the people and rise to positions of such destructive power. These scum are the type of greedy villains that would rather funnel the riches of a collapsing country into their hands–in the same manner that Nazi officials and Generals collected the riches of those they destroyed–than help build a stronger country where all can prosper according to their individual efforts.

              Creating impossibly complex laws is a trade mark of all tyrranical dictatorships. Even the most meticulously law abiding citizen will be in violation of one law or another, and can be picked up and imprisoned on a governmental whim. Out of the fear and knowledge that you’re breaking laws that you can’t possibly understand, you’ll become a compliant, kow-towing, bootlicking worm, from constant fear of being dragged off to some forgotten gulag. With this new disgusting “healthcare” bill, Doctors, Clinics, Hospitals, Insurance providers, Pharmaceuticals, etc., will spend the bulk of their energies on compliance, and will have little time left over to serve their customers. If they want to keep the Government off of their backs, they’ll make backroom deals with Government officials. The Government will become their largest customer, the citizens will become an irritating afterthought. If they want to treat their customers fairly, they’ll have to do it under the operating table. You think back alley abortions are bad, just wait for “back alley brain surgery”, because eventually that is the only way you’ll get it. I realize this all sounds rather extreme, but what is the latest direction this arrogant and deceitful administration is taking our country, if not extreme?

            Won’t that tie BO in knots? What a great way to filabuster a bill make it 2000 pages and make them required to read it.

            Can the chair object to the reading or do house or Senate rules permit a vote on reading the bill? Since I heard the house Dems all day extoling the virtues of this bill perhaps they would like to bask in it’s glory.

              No-It is their rules, as made up by them as per the Constitution.

    • Prime Obot

      In the next six months another 22,000 Americans will die from lacking insurance. We are now hearing that the bill that (hopefully) will soon be negotiated between the House and Senate will contain provisions that provide immediate emergency insurance and health care assistance to the neediest Americans. I can certainly understand that the right-wingers on NQ want to see this legislation fail, because they want to see all manifestations of government delegitimized. But how about the true progressives like Nan, Reverend Amy? Do you really not want to see this helping hand extended to the Americans who (literally) face death every day because they are unable to procure private health insurance?

    • Prime Obot

      In six months another 22,000 Americans will die from lacking health insurance. So sure, let’s make sure Congress can’t pass a bill that would give them the option of, you know, getting medical care and surviving. Good plan.

      • Onofre’s arm

        That’s a completely bullshit statistic, you can’t provide evidence or accetable proof of how that number was arrived at, because they don’t exist in any credible form, and I’m not surprised that YOU would present such idiocy. Most of your statements and positions are derived from bumper sticker sentiments, stale urban myths, and a complete ignorance of the hard wired nature of basic human motives.

        In your typically creepy progressive fashion, you doggedly persist in your Procrustean attempts to drastically modify people and their minds to properly appreciate and populate your impossible Utopia. You and your type of brainlessly progressive ideologues keep trying to jam the square peg in the round hole, and you’re destroying the peg and the hole in your selfishly destructive efforts.

        • Prime Obot

          Yeah, sure, the Harvard School of Public Health is bullshit and a few random NQ posters are right.

          You keep living in that dreamworld where tens of thousands of Americans aren’t victimized every year by our horror of a health care system. The rest of us grownups will keep working our asses off to change America for the better. You children can keep on patting yourselves on the backs for your clever insults for Obama, while you pretend to support the principles Hillary Clinton stands for (and works for, every day of her life).

          I’m just curious about actual progressives like Nan or Rev. Amy. What say you folks? Are you for progressive health care reform? Do you believe the Harvard statistics about all the Americans who die every year from lacking insurance?

          • NomNomNom

            Prime Obot, I dropped my health insurance earlier this year because I couldn’t afford it any longer: it was $468.60/month. As a 44 year old woman with no health problems, it was an obscene rate, but it was the best i could get on my own (the company I work for is too small to pay benefits). A friend of mine who works for a large computer firm pays $150/mth for a corporate subsidized plan that covers him, his wife, and their 2 children. That is to say, I was paying 12 times per capita what he was.
            It’s true that isn’t remotely reasonable: children and women who have children and men all have more health care costs than single sterilized childless women; but, go figure.
            The BHO plan will make it mandatory for me to shell out $5,300/year: $440/ month, or pay a fine (if I can’t afford insurance, how can I afford the fine?) and if I keep protesting I can’t pay it, I can go to jail for 5 years.
            If this fucking reform passes, I’ll be forced to lose my house that I’ve worked a lifetime to obtain. I’m willing to forgo medical treatment I can’t afford, but I don’t think it’s fair to force me to pay for insurance– and remember, that’s insurance, not medical treatment and insurance does not cover every eventuality– that I might not even need and lose my house.
            All this plan is is a gift to the insurance company and banks of my house, that I worked for. That’s just f#cking wrong.

            First, provide a link to the study or I’ll simply assume as usual that you’re either lying, exaggerating, or distorting, as you often do. Second the study you talk about, but don’t provide, is logically flawed to the core because it is impossible to prove that ANYONE has died from lack of insurance. If it’s the study I’m aware of, it was shown to be terribly constructed, and most of the people in their figures that didn’t have insurance and died, would have died ANYWAY, even if they HAD insurance. It’s another example of your (and now Harvard’s) frequent use of the post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy. How many death certificates list “lack of insurance” as the cause of death? How many headstones read “He died because he didn’t have insurance”? It wouldn’t be difficult to prove that most of the Americans that have died in the last year consumed lettuce within six months of their deaths. Should we blame lettuce for their deaths? People die, that’s a fact. People die because they either did, or didn’t do something that could have extended their lives. People haven’t died from the lack of insurance, they might have died because of their decision to not get to an emergency room where they would have been in the hands of those most likely to, and required to, extend their lives, IF possible.

            And for an arrogant, selfish, POS like you to call our health care system a “horror”, it would be deliciously poetic justice for you to suffer horrible injuries, or an unspeakably painful desease, and be denied access to the “horror of a health care system”.

            How many people in the US have died from H1N1 BECAUSE your precious administration has been abyssmally slow at providing relief and safety (let’s call it a biological Katrina) in the form of vaccinations, hmmmm? Several thousand already? Using your distorted logic, their deaths rest squarely on Obama’s flacid shoulders. It’s ALL HIS FAULT! And by extension, the idiots who voted for him are also to blame for the H1N1 deaths. Just using YOUR logic botfly.

            They already had all the votes lined up and now the knucklehead can claim a false victory.

            Yeah, I don’t know why That One doesn’t put on a uniform, fill his chest with medals and smoke a few cigars to complete the image and its pitiful buffoonery.

  • Katmoon

    AGI, seems that shootsoneselfinthefoot person, has a very short memory; or what I call selective memory. It works the same way selective hearing does for children. You know telling the kids “do your homework,do your homework,do your homework”..no response. Then whisper..”Who wants Pizza?”, everyone will be cured of any problems previously observed in ability to hear.

    Same thing on these pictures, and all the nasty remarks made about everyone, save Obama. Selective memory, indignation and visual acuity. The only intact sense that remains is the insult reflex. That’s all Gibbs has is a smarmy half a$$ed grin, and the insulting comebacks. Stay Classy Obama Administration.

  • ImaLindatoo

    we don’t have to imagine, we have reality and thousands of hours of tape and photos to prove it!

    But, if I sounded like him and Obama, with no principle or character, I guess eventually I’d be playing bully in the sand box and whining at the drop of a hat. naaahhhh

    But, again we’re reminded the differences of real leadership. We all know how Barry chose to address the tragedy at Ft Hood. And here’s Sarah,

    Once they got inside, spectators didn’t have to wait long for what they came for – Palin’s speech. The address began with Palin asking for a moment of silence to remember those killed in Thursday’s shooting rampage at Fort Hood in Texas

    But, while Dems Reps are congratulating themselves for passing this health care plan a majority of Americans don’t want, they should have listened to the people a bit more than themselves. Maybe they’re hoping the Senate will fix it.

    If the Dem’s pass this crap, they better hold on tight. Now the Repubs will have 3 years to pick and pull apart and no one will have health care, but higher costs.

    And, as Sarah finished her speech,

    “She brought the crowd to its feet with a simple closing line: “Don’t let anyone ever tell you to sit down and shut up.”

      btw, some of those pics I never saw, and happy I didn’t, ’til now. I have come to loathe the far left.

    • Docelder

      The house no longer represents the people. It is no longer the peoples house. It is more like a sanitarium and Pelosi is the inmate running the asylum. The second revolution will either come soon, or the republic is done for.

      • ImaLindatoo

        true, but why do we have to pay for the other’s ignorance?

  • West Virginia

    The term Tricky Dick was created by the left.
    An attack rabbit and a Playboy interview were used by the right against Carter.
    The phrase Reaganomics was created by the left.
    Read My Lips was handed to the left by Bush I
    It is it was it was not it is the meaning of it if you count cigars and she was on her knees was a right bonanza.
    I been on the internets and I am the decider gave the left good ammo

    I think we Americans are just looking for the handle to pass on to this president. Some of the students at WVU call him uh..

    I personally think uh is not up to Hitler status. His duh factor is too high and his aw factor is too low. You know your uhaw score is the measure between the good factor and the bad. Maybe he is around 4400. I don’t know. I’m a regular American. I don’t go to big fund raising events. So I have never seen this guy since he was stealing elections in Illinois.

    ChiBoma.

    • West Virginia

      Oh. I am sorry. I forgot Fumbling Ford. This is funny. He was the greatest athlete to ever hold office. He was a college football star. But he hit reporters in the head with golf balls and fell down AF1 steps and, therefore, get the fumbling falling tag.

      ChiBoma Yo Mama I shout out to you in the crowd
      I may be loud
      But I am proud
      (forgive me Tim Conway and Don Knots in Private Eyes)
      And I want you to hear this..
      really good thing that I want to say.

      Listen. If you don’t know the Conway phrase “look a like a lookalar to me” then don’t even try to decipher the above.

      If is looks like a lookalar it is.

      Were we talking about the health control bill?

    • Eastan McNeal

      Oh I am sorry, Sara.

      You know. I just moved into a house that was built in 1910 and, look as I may, I have not found Hitler. I know he is hiding around here somewhere.

      This is where he was supposed to hide when the allies announced he committed suicide. We did dig up some bones under the house, but the dogs ate them. Is DNA altered after it becomes poop?

      I think that one of the photos of him we threw away had Hitler made up as the guy we now call the Batman Joker. Maybe that is where they (Marvel Comics) got that image to begin with. And everyone else just picks up on that.

      I think I just figured it out. uh is not just a poser. He has no idea of what he is into. I just figured out what and why he is there.

  • Katherine B.

    Just think about it for a moment: the DEMOCRATIC Party just passed an ammendment cutting off any possible funding of abortion in the Health Care bill. That was the Dems not the Republicans. What has happened to the party I and my parents before me believed in so much? Is this the payoff for women from having the first woman Speaker of the House, who allowed the Stupak Amendment to go forward?

    I can’t begin to express the personal pain I feel, at age 64,watching the right of women to control their own bodies, to have a LEGAL medical procedure, being thrown under the bus. All those years of work to get and protect a woman’s right to chose sold out by the DEMOCRATC party.

    • Eastan McNeal

      OK. I am 55. I could make a mistake. A child is never a mistake. But a wild wad can be. The government should set money for health. Not tell us what is health. Tho this amendment will not make decisions made out of joint agreements between patient,government and doctors, it does not matter. I don’t want people telling me what I can and can not do with my body.

    • NomNomNom

      I have never been so am glad to be sterilized. If only it were a joy I could pass on to all of congress.

  • hmk_me

    ANY WOMAN WHO VOTES FOR AXIS SALLY PELOSI IN THE FUTURE IS THE ENEMY OF ALL WOMEN.
    As the first woman speaker of the house she is a disgrace.

    WOMEN WITH INTELLIGENCE AND EXPERIENCE,MEN WHO SUPPORT THEM AND COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS

    PUMAS,BUBBAS,EQUALISTS AND THOSE PEOPLE RULE

  • socalannie

    AGII, you rock! Great post! Love the way you nail these hypocrites.

  • Texas Playwright

    Misogyny and dirty money are the true evils of the 2008 selection.

    While old GWB and silly fraud bho are portrayed as the Joker, fools and even Hitler, Hillary and Sarah, as in the above photos as cruel as any Islamist treatment of women, are debased because of their gender. There are enough of us American women to stop this hatred of our gender, with the help of our American men.

    As for money–the healthcare disaster, like the stimulus bill, are nothing but slush funds for the amoral politicians/lobbyists/oligarchs who will enslave our nation if we let them.

    I say we can respect women w/o becoming like the misogynists in both parties. I say we can command OUR servants in Congress, the WH and the SC to do their dxxx jobs, honor our Constitution, and kick the stimulus and healthcare shams to the curb.

    • Ferd Berfle

      There are enough of us American women to stop this hatred of our gender, with the help of our American men.

      I agree and as a man I’ll help in any way I can. That being said, women are the majority and should just put their collective foot down to put a stop to this sexual bigotry. Alas, women, though, are just as susceptible to the Kool-Aide as men are.

  • mountainaires

    Fantastic job of pointing out the HYPOCRISY, AGI. Thank you, it was like a tonic to read it; and your response to the “crazy” comment was priceless.

    I’m sick of the media sycophants who could even sit there like the NUMB-NUTS they are, without even one guffaw at Gibbsy’s brazen lie. They are shameless courtiers, not journalists.

    And, “let’s be clear,” to quote an equally shameless Presidential Liar:

    The Media As Enablers of Government Lies

    by James Bovard, Posted November 5, 2009

    Why do politicians so easily get away with telling lies? In large part, because the news media are more interested in bonding with politicians than in exposing them. Americans are encouraged to believe that the media will serve as a check and a balance on the government. Instead, the press too often volunteer as unpaid pimps, helping politicians deceive the public.

    http://www.fff.org/freedom/fd0908c.asp

    It’s a good article, one which exposes the hypocrisy on all sides, if you’re inclined towards the truth.

    • Kinder Gentler Galt

      if you’re inclined towards the truth.

      That’s a rare species, indeed. Most people want agreement with preconceived notions and their ideology.

  • Sassy

    How very accurate you are AGI!
    Robert “Doughboy” Gibbs is soft and pasty between the ears!
    No one needed to look outside to see the signs denigrating Bush. They were always present in the hearing rooms of Congress, brought in by Code Pink and other groups.
    Oops, that was protected free speech…so silly for me to forget that!

    • Ferd Berfle

      Robert “Doughboy” Gibbs is soft and pasty between the ears!

      Which is just another phrase for weeping pustule. Yep–that’s Gibbs.

  • Sassy

    Never pay poker with a politician.
    The losses in NJ. and VA. appear to have given the democrats the green light on passing health “fear” legislation!
    They have deduced that their losses in 2010 are going to be big, so it’s full speed ahead now.
    No doubt they have a very accurate assessment of who wins and who loses.
    All the citizens who have rallied against them just received a big “razzberry”!

  • Carlyinnj

    Please do not underestimate these people, Gibbs, et al.

    Because their behavior is outrageous to us; we believe that most everyone with “ears to hear and eyes to see” sees through them and their hypocrisy and lies. Unfortunately that is not the case.

    Obama, Axelrod, Rahm (with Gibbs as the mouth-piece) play Chicago-Thug hard-ball. Note: Pelosi should not be underestimated either.

    Yes, the Democrat Party Thugs did not expect defeat in the New Jersey and Virginia Governors races this last week. Suffice it to say they are re-grouping AND they should NOT be underestimated. That was the mistake now SOS Hillary Clinton made in the Dem Party Primary. Hillary and her supporters underestimated the depths that the DEM Thugs (who have taken over the DEM Party) will go to WIN and to hold onto power. Hillary played by the “rules” – Obama and his minions did not!

    Gibbs is following instructions to demonize the opposition; this tactic has worked very well for Obama & Company in the past. We must study these folks and understand their tactics (and they are formidable) if we are to win back the Country in 2010. In the meantime, we must minimize the damage that they are doing to our economy and our security.

    I do love coming hear and reading “No Quarter” posts and comments. “No Quarter” is always inspiring; thanks for being here!

  • b mathews

    i checked all over the networks thurs., fri. and sat. and did not see even one shred of coverage of the tea party protest. not even on fox. i know the ft hood shooting took over the media all weekednd but not a word about the protest anywhere. did i miss something?

    I wonder if these collages are ever actually see my anyone other than us NQ readers. They should actually be sent to Giggs, himself. Anyone up to it?
