“Trying to take political advantage of the…” is a snarky way to begin this article considering Think Progress used the shooting of a security guard at the Holocaust museum as a way to help promote the Free Choice act.

When the right does it, it’s taking political advantage. When we on the left do it… it’s the exact same thing.

Dear republicans,
You have oppressed, threatened, lies, cheated and made a mockery of the Constitution for the better part of 30 years. You brought this on yourselves. So get over it.

“I wonder if there isn’t more freedom on the streets of Tehran right now than we are seeing here,”
Rep. David Dreier (R-Calif.)

That’s as foolish as all those posts we used to see that equated living under the Bush administration with living in Nazi Germany. ;)

Does he think everyone has forgotten the “free speech” cages and the inauguration that looked like a warzone?

“I wonder if there isn’t more freedom on the streets of Tehran right now than we are seeing here,” ripped Rep. David Dreier (R-Calif.)…”

Yeah, being a hyperbolic drama queen is a sure path back to relevance. Will middle-aged male white American right-wingers ever be able to accurately portray how put-upon they are, how unfairly life has treated them, how utterly devoid of hope their lives are. It could be a movie of the week on Lifetime, if Lifetime’s target demographic were whiny middle-aged male white American right-winger pussies.

They have protests over a rigged election confused with b*tching about losing elections. B*tch, b*tch, b*tch.

Alternate reality comes to mind. The Republicans are down right delusional. They expect the country to trust them with leadership after these comments. I really don’t think they have a clue or they think I am dumb as hell.

I wish I could be oppressed to the tune of 5 billion in corporate bribes over the last 10 years.

Republicans always make awkward, cumbersome, false analogies.

It’s like they learn from the real world, but they learn the wrong things. They learn only selfishly convenient things.

Republicans are not the kind of people that should be given the responsibility of power.

Someone needs to tell the GOP that it’s never going to be about them again.

Just because your username is a lie doesn’t mean that EVERY poster is lying. What reason do you have to doubt that Alixman984 is Iranian?

Are they actually saying things are better in Iran ?

America – love it or leave it!

If it is better over there, why don’t you get a ticket and go ?

Levi, it could possibly be that in 2010 there will only be 1012 GOP office holders nationwide (thats local, state and federal).

If the fascist Republican Party thinks is an oppressed minority now, just wait until 2010 and 1012. The oppression against the Fascist Republican Party has only just begun.
