What is it with the Republicans and their desperate need to be heroic martyrs?
First it was Pete Hoekstra comparing Iranian twitterers to Congressional Republicans agitating for Drill Here, Drill Now.
Today, John Boehner says that "being in Congress this year is like standing in front of a machine gun."
And before that, we had Bay Buchanan actually decrying the "modern day lynching" of a staffer who physically and verbally assaulted a black woman with a karate chop and a racial epithet.
Not that this sort of thing is a new development. Remember when Hugh Hewitt claimed that his Empire State Building studio was actually on the front line?
Or how about when Newt Gingrich talked about "lead[ing] the slave rebellion" against the Democratic "plantation"?
Or when Rick Santorum compared Democratic opposition to the nuclear option to "Adolf Hitler in 1942 [saying] ‘I’m in Paris. How dare you invade me. How dare you bomb my city? It’s mine.’ "
On one level, all this ridiculous self-aggrandizement is comical. Haha, Pete Hoekstra thinks pushing for drilling is just like fighting for democracy, Hugh Hewitt thinks broadcasting from the Empire State Building is courageous. What delusional fools.
But it starts to look pretty obscene when you think a little more about their choices of who to compare themselves to:
Hoekstra compares himself to Iranian reform activists when his own party constantly strives to undermine democracy with weak campaign finance laws, vote suppression, and dodgy voting machines.
Buchanan and Gingrich compare themselves to slaves and lynching victims when their party has used bigotry and hate as an electoral strategy for the last forty years.
Boehner compares himself to someone getting machine-gunned, and Hewitt compares himself to a combat soldier, when it was the war they promoted and prolonged that resulted in thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis getting blown up and shot.
"Projection" just seems so inadequate a word. Republican victimhood is more like a 3D IMAX presentation of Through The Looking Glass.

Actually, it reminds me more of Orwell’s 1984 or any number of slogans from the People’s Republic of China.
Let’s keep them in the victim role for a long time.
The insane clown posse still thinks someone is listening to them. They are beyong pathetic.
Seconded.
I’m not so sure about 1984, but Orwell definitely would have recognized the tactics.
John Cornyn was quoted today as saying he will support Normie Coleman all the way to the Supreme Court. Cornyn is not creative enough to compare himself to anything of significance…
As a Texan, I am vitally concerned about how much time this idiot is spending playing Republican politics instead of looking out for MY interests… He would probably be the one whining the loudest if Franken was challenging things.
As a former Republican myself, I am sick to death of these people. They represent nothing of substance except their corporate and personal interests.
Hoekstra… Neda
Hoekstra… Neda
Sometimes I cant tell the difference.
But in fairness to Boehner, he had his load on, so…
Reading another Eli post is just like being an Armenian in 1915
If I had a cat, and it scratched me, I could say it was just like when Luke Skywalker had to fight the Rancor in Return Of The Jedi.
But I don’t have a cat – it’s just like living in the Dust Bowl.
They are over compensating for the guilt of being phonies? They need to be martyrs they need to be self made men Bush I’ve had to meet a payroll statement is especially funny considering all his failed Businesses.
Darth’s statement about being a self made man in the VP debate with holy Joe is even more funny he went to sleep on a fishing trip and when he woke up his CEO buddies made him CEO of Haliburtron.
Newt, Rush, Glen Beck, all claim to speak for the majority the angry white man but GOP congressional approval ratings are just how low compared to Obama’s?
I remember when we talked about tin foil hats. What’s the term these days? Everybody’s stupid but us? Ha ha ha.
I’m not disagreeing, I’m just wondering how knowing how everyone else is stupid helps the True Cause.
Numbers way down here. Again, how does the judging help? Not snark. Want to know.
What ever happened to Joe the Plumber or has the Common Man been Martyred by forgetfulness and a new advertising strategy?
Not having a cat is just like being a Tutsi in Rwanda in 1994.
It’s almost as if the republics are living the movie “Groundhog Day” before the November elections. They continue to believe they are relevant.
Last I read he left the party.
Hopefully boning up on his history (or math)…
Hi Eli! Hi Firepups!
Now the SC governor knows what it’s like to be abducted by aliens.
Turded!
Hi Kassie!
If it was aliens, I’m sure they would have gotten sick of him by now.
No one wants to help me know?
I do not want to believe this is all about how cool your comment is. Sincerely.
My HS history teacher would have failed him.
America celebrated the Bicentennial when I and Joe was kids it was mentioned constantly at my public school.
I’m guessing Joe and his cue card writer both went to a private Elite Anti American School?
The School for the Americas? The University of Chicago School of Business?
Strauss’s PoliSci classes at the University of Chicago?
I see it as a continuation of Bush’s bastardization of English and public debate. The former by speaking, the latter by having Rove turn facts into opinions, which could therefore not be correct or wrong, just different, and no basis for public policy choices. The GOP could then raid the public cookie jar to its heart’s content.
It’s an example of gross extremism. I hope it earns them the same reaction as it earned the Boy Who Cried Wolf
I don’t really have an answer, other than that I believe that mocking and discrediting Republicans does have an intrinsic value.
Could you rephrase your question into something that makes sense?
If your Future husband ever disappears for days leaving you with 4 kids and no contact number he should stay with the aliens any divorce lawyer will have a field day. He was up to something and considering the changing lies it was no good.
Blowing off Father’s day aside from being very anti family values is just another insult to his wife.
If that’s all you got, that’s truly sad.
There’s golf, swimming, walking, reading, breathing, calling your family.
Food, gym, pets, kids, music – listening, playing.
Yikes.
You either know me or not.
No. How mean. You want me to dumb it down for you?
Dumb it down or smarten it up. I have no idea what you are talking about:
The Rs talking points are getting sillier by the day. And it’s a serious mistake for Bay to be blabbing about lynching re a privileged young white man. And slavery and plantations? — Oh, yeah, the AA community is going to really like that. They would be much better off if none of them said a word between now and 2010 but they’re not that smart.
I for one read the MSM way too much, a ‘place’ where no lie or mischaracterization goes unrewarded.
I am not uncomfortable finding a place where both logic and humor are applied to this serial fuckery. If that makes it too cool for school, so be it.
I dunno, I’m enjoying hoekstraisameme.com far more than I should, and it almost makes it all worth it.
And the way Eli never comes to visit his old friends at Eschaton makes me understand how the Norwegians felt about Vidkun Quisling.
Okay, now you’ve completely lost me. I thought you were talking about blogging specifically. I’ll be happy to walk and play more softball if it’ll help…
Okay…I’ve just got to share this. From the comments section at TPM:
Can’t. Stop. Laughing.
And Gov. HappyTrails was spotted at the Atlanta airport boarding a plane a few days ago…and his wife says she and the four boys STILL haven’t heard from, and she didn’t seem to care that much….uh oh! More Repub family values on full display.
We all have ideas we debate them if the GOP wants to debate ideas they can or they can keep on ragging about how unhappy they are.
Obama well we are trying to push him LEFT like FDR said to some activists in the day I agree with you completely he said now make me do it.
We provide proof to the MSM that Obama has popular support. We provide proof that ideas like single payer really do have over 70% support.
If anything Obama is not Left enough:) We are the reason why the GOP if they had brains should compromise with Obama now before Al Franken gets in.
More seriously, a false sense of victimhood is such an astoundingly large part of the contemporary Gooper mentality (both among high politicos and their supporters down low, e.g. the 101st Keyboard Kommandos) that none of this is surprising. It gives them a sense of purpose, as they forcefully (and indignantly!) brush the cheeto crumbs off their slacks. They are, after all, the real life Wolverines!
They say stuff about us we say stuff back, but our stuff is more reality based:)
Grand Old
MartyrsFarters.There fixed! I mean they are always talking out their ASS aren’t they???
I especially liked when they played the oppressed victim card when they were in control of all three branches of government. We progressives should be so downtrodden.
Okay, sorry. I’m on the wrong site, it seems. So be it.
On this note, S.C. Lt.Gov. Andre Bauer is trashing his missing chief on Maddow. I think he smells an opportunity.
Sorry hit the wrong button if you don’t understand someone’s question ask for more information politely. Demi is not a troll she’s a regular.
I guess Guv. Deliverance won’t be having Dinner with Andre.
Never mind the wrong button bit I thought I hit the submit comment button before I was ready.
Maddow: “What will you do if the Governor doesn’t come into work tomorrow?”
Bauer (with appropriate shit-eating grim): “I don’t have an answer for you.”
sniff sniff
Well, alas, the dangerous part of it is that the Victim needs an Enemy, and preferably an All-Powerful Enemy, who can be easily characterized as at once dominant and yet weak-willed, cunning and yet unwise, cowardly and yet extraordinarily skillful at manipulation. They must be the Other (elitist, Hollywood, over-edumucated, inauthentic coastalites, sushi-eating, volvo driving latte drinkers; and, still, it seems, on their fringes, the old favorite, we Joos) and so worthy only of contempt. Dave Neiwert, of course, has been writing about this for some time. And, unfortunately, we have seen where it can lead several times in the past couple of years …
Thank you, Things.
((We’re all coming undone.))
hey, i used to go backpacking naked in oregon back in pre-history, but there was no one around. including no one around named woody lipps to comment on it.
Agreed there are not many reasons to leave your wife not knowing how to get in touch with you for days none of those reasons are good.
Haven’t seen you in a while. I gave up cable I’m going to the library to get a connection now.
Very true. The phrase “dolchstosslegende” comes up every once in a while…
Go hiking in the park, Mark…
The range of stories we’ve seen about the Gov are not unlike most of what Hewitt and the rest of these scolds spew out every day.
They must wake up to email alerts telling them who to attack and how, and the new plans seem unrelated to their marching orders just 24 hours before.
“We could go walkin’ in a windy park, take a ride along the beach, stay at home and watch TV, you see it really doesn’t matter much to me….”
They only interviewed Woody Lipps because Hugh Jass, Seymour Butz, and Oliver Clothesoff were all unavailable for comment.
Remind me never to turn my back on you.
Dude! I got a part time job, and am not here all the time. Guess it’s probably a good thing. For me and for the lake.
Still, honor you, my brother.
Thank doG they didn’t print Woody’s boss’s name, Chief Jack Mehoffer.
The governor went looking for WMDs! No, wait, he was trying to spread democracy! No, wait…
True but thanks to Bush only the 20%ers are believing that lie because Bush’s mistakes were too obvious to ignore.
However I think that since the majority is not buying the GOP lie at a time of economic crisis and is instead blaming the GOP.
Well I’m thinking that fact will push the GOP way way over the edge.
I think either this coming up election, the next one or when Obama runs again might be the tipping point.
The GOP still thinks ACORN stole the election from John McCain.
Maybe she kicked him out but then she was covering for him with the press.
Demi I am completely confused.
Scary thing is I have had that very thought for the last two years.
Okay. One time, back when I was in college, some friends went with me to a high peak rocky area. It was hot and the guys took their shirts off. So, i said to myself, Self, you can do it to, so I did. And then, some Sheriff Helicopters were there, buzzing us. It was kind of scary but not So Much. Still, I found myself covering my naked breasts and hiding and felt kind of stupid for doing so.
Yeah, Chinatown comes to mind.
I have a hard time going into brick and mortar chain bookstores anymore; we took the kids to Books-A-Million this weekend, because what else can you do when it is 100 degrees and 70% humidity, and I always make the mistake, of course, of looking at the political books, which are dominated, needless to say, by the latest from Beck and Coulter and Bernie Goldberg and other upandcomers from Regenery, all wanting to tell you about the latest way that Liberals are Stabbing America (which is to say “Real America”) in the Back.
HA! Couple steps ahead of me. Nice move.
demi, hon, were you asking why call them stupid and make fun of them?
i see what the republicans are doing as very dangerous. it’s a highly choreographed dance to try to discredit the dems in every way possible. and they do have a certain following.
it’s weird. and it needs to be called down so it doesn’t take root. also, it’s frustrating to see it and sometimes people just feel a need to let off steam about it.
if that isn’t what you were asking about, then i’ll need a clarification.
Valid Theory typical suburban Mom reaction but why did she kick him out?
I’m assuming she had a good reason and if she is lying about the reason its embarrassing the burbs are ruled by embarrassment.
You’re on your own, kid. I have a hard enough time explaining it to myself and my own children.
(What exactly do you not understand?)
I think you’re right, electorally thinking, if you just for example, about the teabagger debacle, but that only makes the craziest of these crazies that much more dangerous. I really do fear we will see more of what happened in Knoxville a year ago, and more recently of course.
Didn’t understand why you were upset or what you wanted someone to explain to you.
Sort of like reading, listening to, or watching a BigMedia “news” outlet also.
Yeah, that’s about where I’m at. Plus, it’s kind of What I Do.
i understand jack mehoffer was up the hill with jill beboffer.
edit: HEBOFFER
Well, when I read Woody Lipps above, I immediately heard Moe’s voice in my head.
“Has anyone seen a Woody T. Huggenkiss?”
Did you get that bookstore job you were talking about? I think working at a bookstore would be almost as fun as blogging especially if they had poetry readings with coffee and smokes!
The Lake seems to have cooled down a bit it seems to me since the election high.
Nice video accompaniment, Eli. The four of them had it pretty posh compared to my upbringing.
My point was how does calling them out on stupid all the time change things. I understand people need to vent. I do. I’d like to see more than just that here. I hold a high bar. Sometimes. My point was that I see more of that than anything else.
I’m probably wrong for pointing this out, but, I do see a huge decline in comments here other than ones just ranting and calling out the ugly.
That’s all I was saying.
My question was, isn’t there something better than becoming the thing you hate?
Agreed it will get worse I think elections might be a trigger but anything could be the trigger.
Thanks for caring, K. It’s okay. I’m not upset. That much.
I think we should keep exposing GOP lies but maybe more posts about our ideas Healthcare, Green Energy ending the War.
Citizen sdfStu:
Some of us have been speakin’ out about the fascist gene in our chromosome string for a long time…Brother Neiwert has been doin’ the careful analysis from contemporary history but at this moment we don’t need academic or intellectual hair-splitting, what we need is for folks to look at the history that they have experienced and been taught and see it through the lens of class, ideology, and politics. Irony is God’s biggest joke on us and it’s America and NOT those nasty inbred Europeans who invented fascism…it was America whose great ongoin’ experiment with constitutional government was contaminated at birth by the disease of slavery and every advance in history from 1789 to the present must be seen as an ongoing battle between the mass movement and struggle for democracy and the institutional structure of oligarchical rule.
We are now at a “revolutionary moment” when our 149 year old civil war will finally be resolved…not with a bang but not with a whimper either. We all have the experience and information to see the truth before us, we don’t need anymore education or re-education (”…don’t need no education…”) all we need to do is see ourselves and our history as we are.
i’ll bite – tell us about your upbringing.
the funny thing is, me and my 3 roommates in college would occasionally play this game also. we really had fun with it.
Yes, I got the bookstore job. It’s only part time, and pays min. wage, but it gives me something to do other than cleaning, gardening, working out and cooking. Ha! It’s a neat diversion and it frames my day. And, I get a 30% discount on any book (you cannot be serious) I want to order.
Yeah, especially these days, it is more fun than blogging.

Treat yourself to a cupcake.
Heh. I had not seen that.
Hi, demi. I guess some of us feel the need to take a break from all the serious work that’s done all day here once the sun goes down. I don’t think it makes us any less serious, or takes away from what we’re trying to accomplish. I know that a healthy dose of snark can recharge my batteries when they’ve run down. (((demi)))
Just blowing smoke, I had it pretty good as a kid, except for the time I sneezed so hard my brain flew out and I tried to pick it up but I accidentally kicked it under the ‘fridge. I went to get a stick to fish it out but before I could fish it out a mouse grabbed it and ran home with it and he and his wife had babies in it… I finally got it back but it don’t work good.
(((demi)))
Hi, Kassie, nice to see ya.
JHFC LMAO
Talk to Raven I think he shares some of your concerns and he’s not the only one although I am as guilty of attacking the GOP as anyone.
I do think we need to talk more about our own ideas. I don’t think trying to compromise with the GOP is working for Obama.
So I doubt the GOP would compromise with us since we are to the LEFT of Obama.
well, i personally have resolved some similar feelings by picking and choosing which posts to read. but i am glad that there are people paying attention to what’s being said by the people trying to discredit us. i personally can’t tolerate listening and watching myself and it is important that we’re well aware of what they’re doing. that’s my 2 cents.
Jeez — that happened to you too?
Citizen bonkers:
Bless your heart Brother bonkers…I must add this Giordano fella to my favorites…I must say that his collective analysis with his own “council of experts” coinsides with my hopes and intuition from reading and tryin ta glean whatever truth we can get with the info we are getting from the brothers and sisters in the streets of Tehran.
Agreed good point humor is a muscle that needs to be exercised:)
True story.
Also, bear in mind that there are a whole lot of different posters here, and we’re not exactly coordinating a Message Of The Day or anything like that. We each write about what moves us, and the end result is highly variable.
OoooooooooooooooK. You gotta quit smokin’ that shit. *g*
Please allow me to briefly hijack the thread and introduce you to Delilah, who we adopted on Saturday. Our laps needed to be filled after our old Siamese crossed the rainbow bridge. (Don’t you just hate it when new parents shove pictures of their kids under your nose?!?) As you were…
Rock ‘n roll, bro.
Hi greenwarrior!
This is what I do and how I feel also. Thanks for putting it into words.(Eli’s threads are always must-read).
I met delightful Delilah this mornin’. She’s still gorgeous.
Already did, unfortunately. I’ve grown accustomed to life without it and it’s a lot cheaper this way. Still, if they legalize it before I’m ninety I’ll probably be back off the wagon in a flash.
But wouldn’t it all be a lot more effective if you could just blog the latest Blast Faxes from Central Command?
Cute. I am partial to black and white kitties.
That’s a sweetheart. Congrats to you and Delilah.
Citizen SouthernDragon:
has there been a recent Raven sighting…did he get to do his anniversary fishin’ thing?
giving demi a big bunch of snark……. (can’t do fancy pictures)
My question is if this guy was the president….. missing now for 5 days…… it would be a national security mess and the threat level would be more than red….
I thought that was what I was doing.
Or did you mean *our* Central Command?
Snort! Weren’t we all supposed to be slaves to The Great Orange Satan not so long ago? The mere concept of a “Central Command” with a D after its name is to howl. Was it Will Rogers who said he wasn’t a member of any organized political party, he was a Democrat?
Even for a governor it is a big deal made worse by the fact that he is clearly lying about something. They tracked his car to the airport, not to the Appalachian Trail.
My problem is that I made “that face” again and my face has stayed that way. Plastic surgery scheduled for next week.
At any moment I’m expecting John McCain to say, “We’re all Iranians now.”
One time I peed so hard my wingding flew off and bounced off the wall and hit me in the eye. I ran to the hospital but the doctor made a mistake and put it on my head and now I have to stand on my head to go pee.
The fact that they’re even using the Appalachian Trail thing as an excuse is risible… Rachel Maddow pointed out that he went hiking on National Nude Hiking Day. You can’t make this stuff up, you know….
that would be Central Committee. we’re DFH’s for christ sake!
ROFL … Nahant !
Eli !
Had a sighting late last week. Took his new boat to the Outer Banks and caught a bunch.
I know this is serious…… it was in line of all the snark…..
Nah… All them Iranians are just teabagging… (Thank heaven that A-hole isn’t from Georgia, although next door is hard enough to deal with.)
LOL
Yes, think how much easier your job would be if you could just report what was supposed to be reported for the day. The closest thing we have on our side are the various “What Digby says” posts you sometimes still see …

If I end up falling asleep I thought I would give everyone my MRI results from 6/16 – the large lesion shrunk by 1/2, the next one shrunk by 1/4 and the small ones were too small to measure. Impression: Positive response to therapy with a decrease in all known brain mets.

Gotcha ! How’re you doing ? Any plans for the summer ?
On Rachel’s show this evening the Lt. Gov. seemed rational and concerned. I think when Rachel asked him about what would happen if Sanford didn’t show up tomorrow he was completely honest. There was a goodish pause, then he got the “Oh, crap” look on his face and flat out told her that he had no answer for her. Seemed to me that he’d do a better, more honest job of governing the state than that butthole Sanford.
Woohoo! Glad to hear it!

Is Sanford a term limited lame duck? If not, I’d say his reelection chances are increasingly remote.
That’s wonderful news!!! (((katymine)))
All I’ll say is “leaves of three, let it be.” Hiking. No bathroom… Draw your own conclusions. (Not me, but a friend.)

Wonderful news, katymine.

Fuck off, Dana.
Which airport?
COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) – The black Chevy Suburban believed to have been used by South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford to leave town has been found in the parking lot of Columbia Metropolitan Airport.
Still believes he can change hands and gain a stroke.
Your welcome. For some reason I’ve been looking at cupcakes. Not as fun as eating but low-calorie.
With the other 10%ers, huh ? Excellent !
Congratulations. I hope the news only gets better from there.
According to the Lt. Gov. he has a very strong base of support. Don’t know if they have term limits, but I doubt it. They elected Strom Thurmond again and again and again and again and again… (Bear in mind, this is SC… The entire state should be fenced off and turned into an asylum for the criminally bewildered.)
Since McInsane is so fond of the Beach Boys, and in light of what’s happening in Iran right now, how about hearing this oldie but goodie:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-zoPgv_nYg
More appropriate than ever to watch this now. Disturbing beyond belief…not just CrazyTrain, but the audience. These are the people we’re talking about when we talk about the modern-day Repub Party. They are truly vile and dangerous to all of our children. Everywhere in the world.
They deserve nothing but scorn and ridicule so that they NEVER have the levers of power again. Of course, we still have a long way to go just to get those levers completely out of their hands.
EDP !
Criminally bewildered certainly describes Lindsey Graham.
When Joe Klein tells you to STFU, it’s time to get into your Fusion Hybrid and drive into the Sun !

Among the sketches from up north, this and the learned Welsh coal miners run high:
Mark Sanford was with the Four Yorkshiremen over the weekend. He was on a GOP Re-Education Camp Retreat.
Great Python routine
Nah, I can’t see Cindy wearing a burqa.
What you people don’t understand is that these Republican Chickenhawks are all loyal and courageous members of the 101st Fighting Keyboard Battalion.
They are too valuable to actually get out there where bullets are flying; after all, without them there would not be any wars for our military to fight and die!
What can be said about the broken tools of the GOP?
Monsters one, monsters all. At least it’s easy to keep from believing there’s no evil in the world when you’ve got people like the Republicans hanging out in your country.
Being one to oblige whenever I can, I wish people would stop reminding me that I can’t actually man the machine gun. I hate to disappoint a guy who looks like he’s had that many facelifts–it must hurt when he pouts.
