Greenwald Bashes “Whiny, Self-Victimizing Columnists”

Not even a hint of self-awareness
Weird • Views: 20,734

Well, let’s kick off the weekend with what has to be the most hilariously un-self conscious tweet ever posted by the Mighty Greenwald:

Yes! He really wrote those words, with no apparent clue that he was describing himself. What a perfect encapsulation of the narcissistic anarchist pseudo-movement he champions.

GG’s projection reminds me of when Jennifer Rubin said that President Obama encourages disagreement and hostility, and darn it, this makes him a “bad person”. We need an IMAX award.

Glenn’s latest “blandshell” is about how the NSA can gather publicly available data to spy on foreign nationals, I did the required search for Warrants:

Analysts were warned to follow existing “minimization rules,” which prohibit the N.S.A. from sharing with other agencies names and other details of Americans whose communications are collected, unless they are necessary to understand foreign intelligence reports or there is evidence of a crime. The agency is required to obtain a warrant from the intelligence court to target a “U.S. person” — a citizen or legal resident — for actual eavesdropping.

buried deep in the article.

Word at TPM is that the House GOP’s about to put out a new funding bill, funding things to Dec 15th, but with a one year ACA “delay” and the axing of the medical device tax tacked on.

Note that Boehner hasn’t said outright that the clean bill is “dead” or put it to a vote yet. Would not surprise me that he’s keeping that in his back pocket for 11:59pm Monday night.

You know with all the crap they want along with it, why not at least set the duration on the funding bill at one year? Three months seems ridiculously short. I mean if that’s all that was agreed on, come Christmas we will potentially be in the exact same position.

It’s amazing. POTUS and the Senate Dems have already said that Obamacare is settled law and they’re not going to accept any more delays or defund attempts or anything that targets the ACA. So what do the idiots in the House GOP do? Target the ACA.

Un-fucking-believable. These people are deranged.

And that’s because, as they say, the chickens are coming home to roost.

Many of the GOP in the House know they owe their jobs to TP support and they know that TP support flies out the window if they appear to be supporting the ACA in ANY WAY. Hence they continue to attack, attack, attack because that’s the only way they can keep their jobs.

Consider the fact that many TP voters would be more satisfied with a Shutdown and/or default instead of the the GOP finally conceding on Obamacare (which is of course the rational thing to do).

At this point, shutdown is inevitable.

Default, on the other hand? If the GOP persists in being obstructionist assholes, the President can invoke the 14th Amendment and let the courts settle it. Section 4 of that amendment outright says that the public debts of the United States shall not be questioned.

It would almost certainly set up an impeachment in the House, but POTUS could argue that between being impeached and the US living up to its obligations and preventing a worldwide financial collapse because of Republican obstructionism, the impeachment is the lesser evil.

My guess is this is an outgrowth of party outrage over the leadership trying to move the ACA fight over to the default, where they thought they had more leverage. The TPers apparently aren’t accepting “surrender.”

not sure that it matters as far as these guys are concerned. Hell, they’ll just cite the NSA, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, doesn’t really matter, just so long as they get to sit at these nifty microphones and pontificate about how evil the President is for whatever imagined slight… the rest of the country and doing the work that they were elected to do? well they’ll gladly tell you that those 75,000 people that voted them into office are more important that the multi-million vote plurality that Obama received, so that agenda stuff is not appliccable, will of the country be damned. If gun restrictions with a 90% approval rating can’t even make it out of committee with these goons, I don’t expect rationality or the needs of the nation to generate much of an impact.

That would blow up some heads.

The problem, well one of them, with tea party thinking is they seem to want to not follow the laws of the country. I have always found that fascinating since many are law and order, protect the Constitution conservatives. They act like a vote doesn’t really mean they lost. They take defeat as against their god-given tea-drinking rights. They see only themselves as ‘the people’. How do you fight that kind of suspension of reality and arrogance?

Until someone in the Republican party can actually swallow hard and take the crazy on they are going to be stuck in this useless mode. Polls show the tea-party really isn’t speaking for many Americans anymore, yet the entire main GOP party acts like the majority of America is at the gates pitchforks in hand. To take on the tea idiots it will have to come from someone either never going to run again or willing to really do what is right political fallout be damned. But who would that be? McCain tries to get it out, but he helped spawn it, so he too is ball-less.

So, it is up to American voters. I had mentioned the old “silent majority” thinking as used by Tricky Dicky Nixon in a previous comment. There has to be a growing group of huge numbers out there somewhere ready to do what is needed and that is seriously start dumping Republican left and right to send the message they can’t get across to themselves. Until that party is brought to its knees nothing will happen. They need to know they are at the lowest and its either death or clean up. Think of it as an intervention.

If you didn’t catch Bill Maher’s New Rules segment last night, you should. It’s pretty good. Bruin Kid at dKos does a good job of transcribing it if you want to just read the text rather than watch the video.

A snippet:

In lots of areas, California has decided not to wait around for the caboose part of America to get on board. Yokels can mock “European style democracies” all they want. We’re building one here — gay marriage, pot smoking, regulating carbon. And people like it. The same way when Americans come back from a vacation in Europe, they all say the same thing: “I saw titties on the beach!” (audience laughter) But they also remark on the modern airports and train stations over there, and the absence of beggars in the street, and food that tastes like food. (audience applause) And they wonder, “Why can’t we get that here?”

Well, you will be getting that here, courtesy of the Golden State. Why? Because we’re huge. We’re huge! 40 million of us! (audience cheering) When we demand something, the market must supply it. Like when California set a high mileage standard for cars sold in this state, Detroit had to make more efficient cars. California by itself is the 8th largest economy in the world, the fifth largest agricultural exporter, and of course, #1 in laser vaginal rejuvenation. (audience laughter) Oh, I pat myself on the back.

You know, it’s so ironic, the two things conservatives love the most — the free market and states rights — are the two things that are going to bend this country into California’s image as a socialist fagtopia. (audience cheering and applause) Maybe our constipated Congress in Washington can’t pass gun control laws, but we just did. Because we don’t give a shit about the NRA. Out here, that stands for “Nuts, Racists, and Assholes.” (massive audience cheering and applause)

This Prospect article really, really nails it.

Memo to Republicans: You Lost. Now Deal with It.

There are some basic notions that undergird the operation of a democracy. When there’s an election, the candidate who gets more votes is the one who takes office. When a bill is passed through Congress and signed by the president, it’s now the law. And when you lose, you don’t get to demand that your agenda be enacted, for no reason other than that you’d prefer it that way. If you want a bunch of policy changes, you have to win an election, then pass that agenda through the legislative process. That’s how it works. Baseball players who strike out don’t get to just demand that they be given a triple or else they’re going to set fire to the stadium. And third graders don’t get cupcakes for threatening to break windows and chairs.

I have always found that fascinating since many are law and order, protect the Constitution conservatives.

…but are they?

It seems to me that the defining features of the radical right are incredibly un-democratic…and un-republican (minscule r intended). There’s a thin layer of talk about law and order Constitutionality, but all they’re really saying is “we dictate, others can’t disagree, and we will not be practicing what we dictate.”

The only way I can think to put it is that these are people for whom conceptual legitimacy…both factual validity and legal weight…comes from affiliation. And it’s not just what sets their legislative choices: it also frames their understanding of science, divinity and morality. Whether they’re speaking about the Bible, Jesus, the Constitution, or morality, those words are redefined—often on the fly—without regarding to precedent, history, f actuality, or established opinion. The only thing that matters is their tribe’s consensus, and it’s built-in that meanings are not fixed, and will be bent so that they can do whatever they want. The words don’t mean the same thing they would to someone outside their bubble…indeed all of those words are just synonyms for our way that you can’t question.

By rights won’t cut it right now. They will see anger as a good thing. They’ll think they have upset all those commie leftists progressive entitlement takers. They will see it as a step to “get their country back.” They already think they can blame Obama, so there will be no blame on them it will be seen the same as anger and them forcing the country to take their medicine. No way to kill off a true believer. We all need to start to vote out Republicans so they get the hard message. And that is going to take Republican voters to send that message. Can they do it? That is the big question.

By rights won’t cut it right now. They will see anger as a good thing. They’ll think they have upset all those commie leftists progressive entitlement takers. They will see it as a step to “get their country back.” They already think they can blame Obama, so there will be no blame on them it will be seen the same as anger and them forcing the country to take their medicine. No way to kill off a true believer. We all need to start to vote out Republicans so they get the hard message. And that is going to take Republican voters to send that message. Can they do it? That is the big question.

I’m in a FB war with a conservative Dem who’s doing that right now. All “Obamacare is killing the country”, but is suddenly silent when I ask him if he’s cool with the American Taliban threatening to destroy the budget.

And the media totally suck at putting any of this in context.

I wonder how, precisely, ‘Obamacare is destroying this country’?

Indeed. Its the media’s failure to properly report how the debt ceiling and the CR work that makes the GOP think that they can get away with this bullshit. That, and the GOP’s lack of self-awareness.

Because everything Obama does is destroying this country.

You know he is black, and maybe not from around here. I’ve heard he may be a secret Muslim. I only know I want my country back!

Greenwald == Weasel. I’ve said that from the start. Nice of him to provide yet another demonstration of it.
