What Steven Weber Said…

Posted on September 3, 2011 at 7:06 pm by Bob Cesca

I won’t blockquote any of Weber’s latest column about whiny progressives who want to primary the president. You’ll just have to click over to Huffington and read it yourself. You’ll be glad you did.

And for crap’s sake, if you’re involved with OFA, don’t copy Weber’s post in an email or else Jane Hamsher and Glenn Greenwald will accuse you of literally shitting in their soup.

    Pretty awesome. A few words particularly jumped out at me: “…permanently stopping those people…”

    I will admit, I’m one of those people that gets frustrated when we don’t get much of a pushback from the WH not calling out Republican BS, and have just recently stated so on my blog. But I’m in complete agreement with Weber’s (and your) notion that we have to keep our eyes peeled and call out Republican hypocrisy at every turn. It would help tremendously however, if the President and the administration did as well from time to time.

      Maybe he’s a touch busy trying to ‘put out the fire’, so to speack.

      • joe73072

        actually, he’s been busy caving again. EPA?

        • missliberties

          Check your details. It is so easy to be pulled around by the nose reading those headlines.

          I love how the Obama-bashers are acting like the new Ozone rules are soooooo important to them, even though most of them had not even heard of the proposed rules prior to 2 days ago.

          I love how even though the rules are so stringent that places like Yellowstone Park would be out of compliance under them, somehow without the rules we are all going to die, immediately.

          I also love how a bunch of supposed Liberals who are angry about EPA policy have no idea that Obama DOUBLED the EPA’s budget upon taking office.~ carbonbasedlifeform

          I see you managed to miss the point of Steven’s article entirely. Or your making it for him, I’m not sure which.

            Nobody says the world is coming to an end. The fact remains, he has turned his back on reproductive rights supporters, union members, teachers, firefighters and the police, and now environmentalists.

            I thought I’d seen everything. Seen an elephant fly. Seen a cow on the roof of an old cotton house. Seen the battle worn face of the barbarian hordes pounding at the trembling gates(Black Fridays), I seen Dick Cheney’s Post Mortem Torturing Roadshow and Review opening up for Carrot Top on the Tonight Show w/Jay Leno.

            What was that? The other night?

            That’s when the forces of evil declared the world had in fact officially ended.

            Wednesday, maybe. Could have been Thursday, though, too, now that I think about it.

            you are a shitbrainer Okie w/o a clue

          • Scopedog

            Hmmm….nah, he’s a shitbrainer, but let’s not smear all Okies….

            Still, he certainly missed the point of Weber’s essay and the whole EPA regs imbroglio. No surprise there.

          • Robert Scalzi

            Scope, since I couldn’t reply to your comment (too many ??) I wasn’t disparaging all Okie’s however he is the epitome of a shitbrainer Okie, just calling it like I see (& read) it

        • Robert Scalzi

          Also Go fuck yourself shitbagger

        • Robert Scalzi

          Yo Okie Joe, you have a lot of nerve seeing as you are represented by 2 of the worst of the worst senators in the senate. Until you fucking Okies get rid of 2 of the biggest impediments to progress in this country you ought to just SHUT THE FUCK UP

      • Scopedog

        Yep. He’s been doing that, despite GG, Hamsher, and all the emoprog crap being tossed at him.

        You know what would be nice? That the emos would FINALLY fucking start tossing crap at the GOP with the same fury they reserve for Obama.

        Maybe when they did that, I would give them a couple ounces more of respect.

        Just sayin’.

        • dildenusa

          You lost me here. I’m a crippled geezer so I don’t understand what emoprog is. Is it emotional propaganda? Please enlighten me.

          Oh yeah. As far as GG and Hamsher goes, you can’t repect someone who has no self-respect.

    • dildenusa

      Well, OK. Sure, we need to point the finger every time we see the smug hypocrits of the tea party republic in their lawn chairs and medicare paid for hoverounds cheering on Michelle Bachmann and her Christian Hypocrits. Many of these people are children of the Roosevelt and New Deal Democratic Coalition. What happened? The corporatists and their lobbyists happened. If you listen to the same bullshit day after day from a lawyer/salesman you soon believe whatever the lobbyist is telling you must be true.

      I believe there is more to it than that. Call it what you want, selective memory, selective amnesia. That’s what pop culture calls it. I call it by the technically prefered term, Psychogenic Amnesia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychogenic_amnesia

    Your comment about turds in the soup is funny. Thx! I needed a laugh. You brightened my day.

    It is simplistic. Sort of what I’d expect from the Republicans.

    • ranger11

      No, it’s what I expect from you. Complicated motherfucker.

    • Robert Scalzi

      Go fuck yourself

    • http://www.politicalruminations.com/ nicole

      Uh yeah. Must be projecting. Moron.

      As someone else at Huffington said, you, “S” for simplistic, were probably one of those who actually campaigned for Nadar in 2000 because you could see no difference between Gore and W.

      I think that says it all.

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2N7L6HE3CZ2W2UBNHHO4CFUFQE S

        With people campaigning like this for him, Obama has no chance at all. Do you do other tricks besides flaming and mind-reading? Sit? Roll over? Think for yourself? Dare I ask – play dead?

        • ranger11

          Fuck yo’self johnny-come-lately! Campaign for Paul, purity prick.

    Damn. You made me click, Bob. Love it. Thank you, Bob and Steven.
