Brace: Limbo/Hannity to Lambaste, Lash Out at Us Over RAYGUN
Edited on Mon Jun-07-04 11:10 AM by UTUSN
We've already gotten a taste of the lashing out at us from Andrew SULLIVAN. It will PALE compared to what these other two will unleash. They will toggle between exuding LOVE for RAYGUN and UTTER HATE for us. And then there will be Tweety's pukefest. Tweety started "turning" from out of a political flunky's admiration for SUCCESS, for how RAYGUN slaughtered Tweety's bosses CARTER/O'NEILL. It's gonna be a LONG DANGED week.

1. I'll be catching up on my reading this week and watching a lot of BBC
The original Bonzo's passing will generate a pukefest, in which I have no interest.

3. Not surprising.... Reagan was divisive as President and even in death....
Edited on Mon Jun-07-04 11:07 AM by hlthe2b
is Dividing us!

As one who has been scorched for my strategic suggestions that we tone it down this week (and this week only) so as not to feed the media ammunition against us, well.....

6. How did Reagan die anyway?
I can't imagine the Secret Service letting anyone get close enough to drive a stake through his heart.

12. I was right there with ya on those admonishments, lest this happen.
I just don't understand why people who posted that stuff couldn't see how it would be used against us. We all saw what happened in response to the perceived politicalization of Wellstone's funeral. The backlash over the vocal minorities classless comments, could have even BIGGER repercussions... much bigger. The actions of a few, as in the Wellstone funeral (even though those actions were quite innocent), will be used and manipulated to further malign ALL Democrats... because the average person cannot discern between Decmoratic Undeground, and the Democratic Party.

I'm all for free speech.. but you gotta pick your spots.

19. great post, but reagan-democrats wont acknowlege these achievments
this part good

That policy included backing the contras-a surrogate army dedicated to overthrowing the democratically elected Sandinista government of Nicaragua. It also involved funding the military thugocracy of El Salvador and supervising its war against a popular leftist rebellion. In his role as public servant, Abrams found time to cover up the genocidal policies of the Guatemalan government and embrace the government of Honduras while it perpetrated serial human rights abuses through Battalion 3-16, a U.S.-trained "intelligence unit" turned death squad.


Thick as thieves with Oliver North, Abrams helped evade congressional restrictions on aid to the contras. When Congress-spurred on by protests and embarrassing press disclosures-grew wary of the Central American wars, the Reaganites sought other avenues for funding them. Ever eager to serve, Abrams flew to London under the alias "Mr. Kenilworth" to solicit a $10 million contribution from the Sultan of Brunei.

7. They're feeling threatened
Their "President" is falling like a rock. Their war is an utter disaster. By the best estimates, Franken is doing better in the ratings than Limbaugh, and Air America Radio overall is catching on with younger people. And they know DU is here keeping track of their lies. :evilgrin:

They're not going to go quietly. Let 'em spew. Who cares?

9. Sadly.. the thing those who couldn't show any class here...
.. will be held up as typical Democrats. The average Joe cannot discern between something called "Democratic Undgerground", and the Democratic Party in general. I'd like to thank the immature assholes here that posted things that should have been kept out of a public forum, for losing a couple million swing voters for us. Hope you enjoy four more years of Bush. Yes, free speech.. a lovely concept, it appears to only be embraced here when a vocal, vile, minority wants to spew. Unfortunately, Limbaugh, Sullivan, Hannity, Boortz, et al, will NOT be reading any of the posts by reasonable people here dennouncing the vile posts.

Hey.. I'm not a Reagan fan in the least. I just have the good sense, and good taste not to hurt the Democrats, and the people who are mourning the death of a father, grandfather, uncle, friend, husband.. etc. If someone went to your parent's funeral and behaved the way some people did here, you'd probably kill them. Literally.

30. Oh, honestly!
Do you really think that anyone who listens to Limbaugh, Hannity, Sullivan, Boortz, et. al, are going to vote for Kerry anyway? Not hardly.

As for this handing us another four years of Bush, I think you're overly dramatizing a bit.

If someone had done this at my dad's funeral, you are right, I probably would have killed them. But then again, my dad was a simple blue-collar guy. Worked in a steel mill most of his life. He did not implement policies that led to the deaths of thousands of people. There's a pretty big difference between him and Ronald Reagan, no?

I'm not big on pissing on graves, either, but Reagan was a jerk who hurt a lot of people. I do not expect people who were directly effected by him, many of whom I personally knew, to cut him any slack. He was a public figure, doing public things, his death will be met with a variety of responses.

I think we're big enough to take it.

10. and they will conviently leave out
the zillion posts where the wisdom/morality/etc of bashing a dead bad guy was debated ad nauseum. i agree that this is good. if it brings anyone here to find the truth. on second thought, it's probably bad.

13. Even as we tried to soothe the 'savage' DU beast this weekend ...
It's nothing but a tempest in a teacup that will be long forgotten in a few weeks ....

FR is a publication of HATE ... and is already well known as such ...

DU isnt full of hate, but there is certainly some anger here ...

So be it: ... we are human ....

The kicker is: even BAD publicity is good ...

Let them bellow and holler: it will bring those inclined to a liberal mindset here as well ...

I personally reject the idea that we must dance on graves ... But that is just me ....

I still love my fellow DUers ...

21. LIMBOsevic's Opening Shot
Edited on Mon Jun-07-04 11:32 AM by UTUSN
At 22 minutes into his first hour, which consisted of a mind-numbing deification, he dropped just ONE little taste of what's to come: He said that as he looked at the t.v. commentary, he saw person after person who had VILLIFIED RAYGUN back then, NOW saying how GREAT he was. LIMBO said, "So which is it? If he's 'great' now, he was 'great' then." As he works himself up into a frenzy, he will start dropping broad hints as to names.

Now he's referring to "media elites", saying "media elites" were saying then what people now used to say "about militant Islam" or what CHAMBERLAIN said about Naziism, "that it's THERE and we have to GET ALONG with IT" and that RAYGUN's accomplishment was to say, "What? Get along with THAT?"

Countdown to the big guns firing.

28. The First Name: David BRODER
Here goes the first name: David BRODER. "And Dems called the RAYGUN Years 'the decade of GREED' "They HATED Ronald RAYGUN, and don't let anybody tell you differently. He was accused of sexism, responsible for homelessness and AIDS. He had NO EGO and loved everybody."

Funny, BRODER has seemed like any media whore on G.E.RUSSERT's circus.

"Two years into this program I'm getting said about me that had never been said before. I was getting advice, to ignore it. One night I was at dinner at 21. I had to go to the restroom. The attendant shook my hand, told me he met RAYGUN, was ebullient, looked at me, cocked his head and said, 'You know, Mr LIMBOsevic, (RAYGUN) never got mad at them, he just smiled and (whatever).' That man is a preacher today."
