The Left Fails To Get It Right

Posted by: Laer at 11:09 pm

Some pearls from comments posted on Talk Left regarding the President’s press conference:

He actually said the reason for all the increased teror [sic] attacks is because of our effective offense. Can someone explain this to me?

Not much good at strategic thinking, eh? There followed a lengthy discourse on whether and how Bush was “using” his accent for political gain that was fairly intelligent, but it ended with this:

When you’ve arbitrarily killed that many people openly, and gotten away with it in a big way, and actually turned it to political advantage, you can talk in any damned accent, with any imprecision of diction, that you like.

Elitism is still alive on the Left:

People actually like mumbling, glassy-eyed inbred retards? Must be a southern thang…

And intelligent thought still eludes many of them:

I wouldn’t trust the stock market to handle the money. Yes, I think the President should advocate us raising the payroll taxes to pay for it. The President quoted a figure of 18%. My answer to that is: Mr. President, raise our payroll taxes. We are in debt because of your tax policies and now we have to pay the piper.

Wouldn’t trust the stock market? Gee, I guess all those union pension funds and all those IRAs, SEPs and mutual fund accounts are in the hands of untrusty people.

Solution for problems: Raise taxes.

Missing the issue: Raising payroll taxes will have no effect on reducing income taxes … and reducing income taxes spurred the economy. Excessive federal spending (mostly on Dem entitlement programs) and the war on terrorism caused the deficit.

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
