Dems split over Chavez remarks
2006-09-21
blogger Tom Elia notes:

Some Democratic Party leaders have apparently taken smart pills today ... good.

Watch the video of Rep. Charlie Rangel here.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi calls Chavez a "thug."

Meanwhile, over at DU, Pelosi's Angry Left followers are angry, all right . . . angry at her:

yep, Pelosi is a damn fool for this, I've just lost some respect for her if she thinks it was "name calling" why then engage in more name calling? Bush is more of a thug than chavez that is for damn sure. bush IS a "devil" and deserves to be called it. He should be shown zero respect anywhere and everywhere in any situation. I'd rather spit in his face than shake hands with the evil worthless little shit for brains son of a bitch.

So, Nancy, done anything to get cheap fuel to the poor? How is calling a head of state a "thug" any different from calling a head of state "the devil"? It's all right for us to call names but not those inferior countries? Does she actually disagree with Chavez' assessment? Or is she being a political hypocrite?

Yeah, what opposition? Why is she standing up for a mass-murderer? The spying, torturing, corrupt president. Leave it to Pelosi to try and generate more support for Bush.

I guess I am a thug, too. I've been calling Bush Satan for years. Grow up, Nancy. Why don't you jump on Bush's ass for demeaning America every day? Bush does not deserve anyone's respect.

#19  Safe seat or personal integrity? I report, you decide, lol.

#18  Understand where you come from, but I also understand that people can disagree without having political crap being the motivation. I think Rangel comes from that cut of cloth. He's going to say what he thinks, no matter the political outcome. I admire that in some weird sort of way. You think the libtards are liking him over this? My thoughts are he doesn't care.

No, Charles is his own man, and speaks for what he believes. I do admire that.

#17  Heh, Thoth. I'd say Rangel is, indeed, an asshat - at the very least. I've seen him interviewed at least a half-dozen times over the last 2 years and, yeah, he's completely partisan, completely anti-everything (i.e. no actual plan of his own), and indistinguishable from Nancyasshat. Remember he's the jackass who bellowed that we needed a draft 3 years ago, trolling for a good scare tactic. AND he's one of the DhimmiDonk "leaders" who has called for Bush's impeachment. That is sufficient for me to bump his classification to fuckwit. Just my opinion, but it's based upon his actions and his words. Fuck him.

#16  I wouldn't put Rangel down. I might not agree with a lot of what he says, but he is not an asshat. I think he's being genuine, and should be appluaded as such.

/Pelosi on the other hand...
//Be fair now

#14  Wahhahahaha...... indeed. I blame Bush, he's getting.... better!

#13  Heh, I stand corrected Mr B. I just imagined all of the frantic activity after Bobo's speech as she tried to figure out how to "react", lol. I'll bet it was just precious. :-)

#12  Thanks, Nancy, you're a Botox Peach.

Thats way too much credit. Maybe with yours, no, not even with yours.

#11  Lol - the DhimmiDonks never miss an opportunity to fragment, makes asses (is that redundant?) of themselves, and self-destruct.

Being a DhimmiDonk "leader" appears to be akin to the classic EDS commercial Herding Cats. Mebbe they should remake it as Herding Moonbats. Regardless, I appreciate good theater and an opposition that just can't help itself. At this rate, given how their facade of Talking Points has been crumbling of late, perhaps November won't be a catastrophe, after all. Thanks, Nancy, you're a Botox Peach.

#10  The DU-ers, and their slightly-better-behaved allies, the Kos Kiddies, aren't even that smart or shrewd.

Yeah, but they can say what they want. They aren't facing re-election.

#8  'Geek: You're probably right, Pelosi is being a hypocrite. Hypocrisy is sometimes defined as the homage vice pays to virtue, and I think that applies here. Assuming Pelosi actually agrees with Chavez, and with her Angry Left base, she seems to realize on some level that it would be wrong of her (or at least politically counterproductive) to come out and admit that she agrees with a crazed anti-American rant from an overbearing, swaggering, tin-plated South American bandito-dictator with delusions of godhood who quotes Noam Freakin' Chomsky.

The DU-ers, and their slightly-better-behaved allies, the Kos Kiddies, aren't even that smart or shrewd.

#7  And even Pelosi is bound to get a few right. Laws of probability, you know. But it sounds like the DUnce quoted simply hates for hatred's sake.

#6  So, Nancy, done anything to get cheap fuel to the poor?

U.S. foreign aid far outstrips anything Hugo has done or will ever do.

#5  I blame Bush the devil for Hugo's outrage.
Posted by: Besoeker   2006-09-21 16:36  

#4  Permission granted, provisionally. The provision is that you agree with her only in rhetoric, but not in motive. She's just trying to cover her ass from the considerable backlash that's bound to occur when people see that Hugo talks just like a dem. But, I've no doubt she actually agrees with everything HUGO is saying.

#3  Request Rant permission to agree with......... Pelosi (just this once please).

#2  Reading the unhinged spewing from the DU or Koscommies without fail always disgusts me.

Not me, I always break out into song! If they get really angry and stamp their little feet I start ululating. Can't help it, happens every time.

#1  Rangel & Pelosi being politicians may be sensing which way the wind is blowing and nothing more. Reading the unhinged spewing from the DU or Koscommies without fail always disgusts me.
