16. 'I wish just FUCKING ONCE a Dem operative when faced with this sort of shit would stand their ground

...Just ONCE..."

The Dem Leadership have proven, over and over again that when Republicans jump on something pretending to be outraged, they will jump, faster than the blink of an eye, to attack the DEM whoever it may be, Shirley Sherrod, Van Jones, ACORN, Anthony Weiner, without even checking the sources of the faux outrage.

What I wish is that they would do the same to the deceptive, lying Republicans, that they would demand the same purity from Republicans when they have affairs or lie, or are known propagandists, that they are so quick to do to good Democrats.

I remember when ACORN was totally betrayed by Democrats and Breitbart et al were handed a victory, Bertha Lewis, who was the head of ACORN at the time, was so sad, not about Republicans, ACORN had withstood their attacks for 40 years, but about how Democrats aided and abetted them. She said after the vote to defund them, in spite of all the evidence showing how wrong Daryl Issa and his mob of co-conspirators were:

"To have liberals, moderates — a lot of Democrats — just be willing to throw us under the bus and wipe away 40 years of working for poor people in this country without due process…" said Lewis. "


It was shameful. Total capitulation to the worst people in this country. They should never, ever be given one iota of credibility. But sadly, today's 'New Democrats' seem to have a great desire to appease these anti-Democratic morons for some reason.
