182. WTF?

Wed Mar 13, 2013, 04:38 AM

Mar 2013

Did you just say, "leftists' teabaggers?" You equate progressives with the teaklanners? Seriously? That is some seriously, and I mean some SERIOUSLY fucked up equivalencies you've made there.

First off, we're "frothing at the mouth" because Obama has signaled, in a THOUSAND different ways (Simpsons/Bowles, anyone?) that he fully intends on fucking with SS & Medicare. Those of you of the Blind Partisan Clan are constantly FROTHING AT THE MOUTH!!!111!!! (see how that works?) telling us we must be realistic yet you guys completely, and I mean completely ignore all of the signals that the inevitable cuts are coming or are at least going to be attempted.

"Get smart?" After equating Progressives with teaklanners, I don't think I'd be going around demanding others "get smart." Know what I mean?
