Living in the Past

See here, Bernie's thoughts on the recent misguided NAACP resolution:

Let's not forget that the resolution was based on the fabrication of lies perpetrated by Rep. Carson during the healthcare vote protest.

Let's not forget that he didn't actually lie though, and that flim-clip didn't really prove anything.

And let's keep in mind that for the Democrats and the NAACP it is politically imperative that the Tea Party be painted as racists.

I would never vote to proclaim the Democrats as racists even though Byrd was a former member of the KKK. But in reflection of Bill Clintons every effort to paint the "Early Byrd" as a young foolish politican, perhaps the Democrats are a racists organization. Certainly a racists government official is more dangerous than one hundred questionable signs at a tea party rally?

Who didn't lie????

And if he didn't lie where's the proof? Remember Andrew Breitbart offered $100,000 to anyone that can find one piece of evidence that that word was said. Proof from just one of the many camera crews, Jesse Jackson Jr's camphone, and cell phones all over. Also, Carson said that they were afraid of being stormed by the crowd, which they clearly gave them safe distances. Good grief, there are actually people that still believe that crap???

He damn well did actually lie. So did everyone else who made such a claim. With all the various cameras, recording devices, etc., you don't think at least one of them would have caught it? And if they did, don't you think they would have claimed Breitbart's reward? Geez, Winston, even a Democrat flack like you ought to know better than that!

Maybe, maybe not. I never liked the tendency of some folks on the left to accuse W of "lying" every time he was wrong about something, and it doesn't sound any smarter coming from the right.

Bush never, ever told a deliberate and malicious lie to try to discredit his fellow Americans like these people did. They made the accusation, and it was up to them to prove it. They couldn't, and yet to my knowledge they stick to their stories while the LSM gives them cover. Even giving them the benefit of the doubt that they misheard "Kill the Bill" for something else (hearing what they wanted to hear, no doubt), once they realized their mistake they should have manned up and admitted they were in error. Since they knew they were being protected by their aforementioned allies they saw no need to. Such are the people in the highest levels of this government.

This republic has been pretty resilient in the past, but I'm not sure it will be able to survive this Congress and Administration this time, even if we succeed in wresting power from them come November and 2012.

Did these guys name names? No, they didn't. Not like what W, Frist and Hastert did to Terry Schiavo's husband, with such vicious glee.

Has the Tea Party been eviscerated by oft-repeated lies, the way the Republicans destroyed ACORN? Nope.

You're taking the side of the mean-spirited bunch who impeached Clinton, during a lame duck session after getting beat in an off-year election, for basically nothing.

I'm not sure why you are so despairing about the future of the country under leaders who are (1) trying to repair a broken health care system without a government takeover and (2) repair a financial system and economy that they have already rescued from the abyss once. I understand that you're hysterical, I'm just not following the "why".

Because it's populated by so many fools and ingrates like you. As for'hysteria,' fear not, I have the means to persevere regardless of the damage your precious fascists do to it save outright confiscation. If that happens, I've had a damn good ride for the past 7½ decades and they can't take that away from me. I doubt very much if you'll be able to say the same if you're (un)fortunate enough to live that long, and you will richly deserve the nasty, brutish and short life you get.

Yeah, well that really clears it up.

More fun facts: during the last 6 years of Clinton's Presidency, when the Republicans controlled the House, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform issued 1,052 subpoenas to investigate NONSENSE, like the "travel office," and "whitewater," and the Vince Foster "murder," and on, and on, and on.

That translates to an average of a politically-inspired subpoena every other day for six consecutive years, including weekends, holidays, and congressional recesses.

Now we have a Congress that is actually working on IMPORTANT things, and you call it facism. :doh:

Is it right to intentionally, maliciously accuse people of something terrible with no proof? Nope. Have ACORN's critics shown proof of the organization's acting in a sleazy and illegal manner? Yep.

You lost this one long ago, but feel free to find a sexual harassment victim, who watched her harasser commit perjury against her in court, and discuss it with her.

Want a real mystery? There are still people out there who believe that democrats in power are a bunch of altruistic, efficient, fiscally prudent people.

I know--WOW.
