Those who want to stop her will need more ammunition than deriding her habit of writing on her hand. The lady is good.

you’re embarassed for hin and his predictions, I’m embarassed for him for thinking she’s good

how bad can a person be to be considered bad in his book?

you know, the republicans have a chance running against obama, hardly anyone likes him or thinks he’s competent, however if they run palin obama could be caught in drag and still be elected

This is the Dean of the WH Press Corp Bwahahaha!

Palin has been able to count on support from the Tea Party, but the Washington Post indicates that the movement itself has split favorability and is poorly understood:

Nearly two-thirds of those polled say they know just some, very little or nothing about what the tea party movement stands for. About one in eight says they know “a great deal” about the positions of tea party groups, but the lack of information does not erase the appeal: About 45 percent of all Americans say they agree at least somewhat with tea partiers on issues, including majorities of Republicans and independents.
The movement’s supporters were identified as, “overwhelmingly white, mostly conservative and generally disapproving of Obama.”

My bold so despite all the Fox and MSM coverage for months only one out of 8 Americans know allot about the Tea Party movement.
Maybe Broder can connect the dots decade’s of bad reporting from hacks like Dave have resulted in only 1 out of 8 Americans knowing the Tea Party movement.
No wonder nobody trusts or listens to the Media.

Decades of the MSM loosing money the Free Markets have spoken Dave…. and they don’t like you.

Slow down dawg, preview is your friend.

Broder keeps writing over the begonias and knocking down the mailbox. You know what that means. I say we just have a locksmith come and replace all the lock cores in his column. Then the next time he tries to write it, his keys won’t work.

And now right next to Broder we have this bit of imbecilic drivel from Ignatius:

The global economy needs a “Tea Party” movement in Europe to lobby for fiscal conservatism there.

Sometimes I really think the best way to look at the United States is as a giant virus. And I’m from there.

There where, here?

Well you had two choices on reading that sentence: I’m either from the US, or from a giant virus.

I’d say that, given my point, whichever you pick it would amount to the same thing.

The site also stabilized a drop in visitors in recent months, although News Corp. said last week its digital properties, including MySpace, experienced a fourth-consecutive quarter of falling ad and search revenue. Its digital properties’ profits fell by $32 million and the “other” reporting segment that houses MySpace posted a $125 million operating loss.

News CEO Rupert Murdoch said last week MySpace’s turnaround is “not yet where we want it.” News Corp. bought MySpace for $580 million in 2005.

Rupert bought MySpace for $580 million and he lost $125 million just this year on it. Has David been writing for them?

That would be true if I only read “the sentence”. If I read “the paragraph” I might this you were from Europe.

You’re a far bigger person than I, Attaturk. I can muster no embarrassment for him at all. The best I can do is condescension, which we covered the other day.

Anyone that coninues to make an ass of himself time after time, year after year and doesn’t realize he’s making an ass of himself doesn’t deserve to have anyone feel embarrassed for him.

The punditocracy needs to stop giving him any credence.

The lady is good

At what? Could it be causing a vague sensation below his belt that he hasn’t experienced since the carpet bombing of……fuck it, never mind.

Good morning all and thanks for the post Attaturk. Because there is so little time to read, I don’t bother with the particular misinformed, intentionally ignorant “writer” you discuss this morning.

Thanks for the chuckle Dr. Raven.

Tryin to keep it loose! Workin on that Facebook huh?

Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

It is in fact kickin my ass. There remains a strong desire to master it, however. Time will tell.

(on edit)
off to work y’all to lurk the FDL threads with my new super-duper, giant-sized, ultra fast, really spiffy workbench laptop very knidly provided by my employer last week!

It was actually a correction of a typo I made. But I loves Aretha!

I have found old friends that I never would have otherwise.

Is Broder happy in his role as a reactionary and a gadfly for the left? It seems his columns now have one purpose, to tweak liberals and Democrats. How else does one explain his take on Palin when so many in her own political party cringe at her antics?

Good morning, pups. It’s Collins and Kristof today. In “The Biggest Loser” Ms. Collins says there are some dreadful similarities between Illinois and New York, and wonders which one has the worst political culture. I’ve heard about Chicago politics, but I was born and raised in NYC. I’ve got to go with New York here. In “The Grotesque Vocabulary in Congo” Mr. Kristof outlines four steps to ending a war that subjects Congolese civilians to autocannibalism and re-rape.

Here they are.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got toasted Thomas’ English muffins and your favorite jam. Our office heaved a huge sigh of relief yesterday as we watched the big boss drive off for 10 days out of the country. We love him to death, but he always gets itchy and a bit frenzied before he leaves town. Have a great day.

That’s the problem.

Thanks, Marion, and for goonish politics, NY and IL take a back seat to TX. The governor wants predator drones to fight the border war. But I told you that yesterday.

groan, hate to see Ignatius going recidivist. He’s got a long, rather nice, career behind him, but they all catch the infection from Hiatt of pandering to the corporate welfare addicts.

The governor wants predator drones to fight the border war. But I told you that yesterday.

Ok you win on the Crazy.

And for this award I want to thank our peerless governor and that great bunch of folks in Austin lege who give us ideas like hunting licenses for the blind. no, I didn’t make that one up.

Yep. Still slack-jawed over that one, I am! Do you think that comes from your governor fussing more over his hair than what goes on underneath it?

You really think there’s anything at all going on underneath the coiffure? Despite my distaste for K. Ba’alee, she’s got up great ads about the gov’s taking money from lobbyist in classic pay to play contract awarding.

hunting licenses for the blind

You got Blago beat.

When the school board fights over whether or not Thurgood Marshall can be taught about, we have Bashar Al-Assad beat. (yeh, he’s the goon behind the massacres in Darfur)

Good morning all.

And to think I never heard of Broder before I came here. Thanks a lot FDL.

Broder is just jockeying to be Sarah Palin’s Secretary of State. Or her Ambassador to Wasilla.

Dear Jane:
As much as I would enjoy ripping into David Broder, today I don’t have the time. Is there anybody that is current on the new credit card rule changes. I have been too busy to keep up with it?

Broder brought to you by attaturk. Jane is too busy with healthcare.

I can tell you all the worst part of the column if you want it, but am bringing it over from another thread where we’re aghast over the same drivel.

Perhaps Broder is just practicing what Palin would call satire?

It’s only satire if the writer knows it’s satire.

The left’s obsession with Sarah Palin is extremely entertaining.

Why all the fuss? Why is it necessary to spew hate at anyone who has anything positive to say about the woman?

The left is coming absolutely unhinged by the explosion of voter anger and frustration over the equally explosive growth of federal spending, the deficit and big government intervention into the private sector and even bigger government solutions to our economic problems.

The “Tea Party” movement that continues to be demonized and discredited by the left continues to grow much to their chagrin but this vitriol does not serve any constructive purpose.

The “Tea Party” backlash against the actions and policies of this administration and the Democratically controlled Congress is growing.

How do progressives, the Democrat Party and the White House hope to counter this movement and bring independent voters back to their side?

Reconciliation for a seriously compromised and corrupted HCR bill that is too expensive and too intrusive for most Americans to swallow?

A face-saving bi-partisan summit on HCR that is nothing more than political theatre?

A ‘jobs bill’ that the AP reports will do very little to actually create jobs?

A spending freeze that is too small in scope to prove to voters that this administration is serious about fiscal restraint?

Hardly an agenda that will restore one’s confidence in Washington. Hardly anything to get you all fired up about, heh?

All that energy has got to go somewhere I guess. Sad.

Hoping you were tea partying against W’s explosion of gummit, including wars. Oh wait…

Great Leaders hadn’t called that tune yet.

Concern troll is very concerned.

Yep. Fox guarding the WH.

This is where you fall off the cliff. “where ere you when Bush…blah, blah, blah”

I am an independent voter who has voted for both parties.

Where were you? Of course I cannot expect you to know that there were a great many Americans who were upset with Bush’s and the GOP spending sprees. Progressives were right there voting with Bush.

I fell for Obama’s faux-fiscal responsibility campaign promises. I never believed he would or could end the wars as quickly and easily as he made it all sound but it sure sounded good.

We feel your pain.

Most folks at FDL were highly critical (to put it mildly) with W. Didn’t notice any tea partiers back then.

Yeah, I’ve found and been found by a lot of faces and voices from out of the past. It gets kinda scary sometimes. I’ve even been getting back in touch with a LOT of folks from my hometown.

If you haven’t seen this spot on account of the wingers taking credit for getting funds that they fought against tooth and nail, from Rachel Maddow, do take a moment. great stuff. Sad for the country that we have such political opportunism tho.

2007 boston tea party

Caught it yesterday.

He embarrasses hisself enough without you having to do it for him.

Was that the first? It took them to 2007 before they figured it out? And tea partyers are primarying Ron Paul this year. Yep, quite a movement.

This is why there is such an anti-incumbent mood growing and the GOP is NOT immune but they are not in danger of feeling the backlash as greatly right now simply because they are the minority party.

Again, what is the point of Maddow’s rant? How does this appeal to independent voters who see the stimulus as a failure and are worried about out-of-control spending and the deficit?

Even better, how can Obama supporters actually defend his ‘change in tone’ towards some Wall Street bonuses (Dimon has given over $100k just to the DSCC. Plus individual candidate donations, most of which go to Democrats. And Blankfein gives almost all of his donations to Democrats) while cheering for Maddow’s screed?

Again you don’t get it. This is so much larger and completely independent of Ron Paul. The fact that Paul is getting a primary challenge shows that there is an anti-incumbent component to the movement that is looking for new, fresh representation that is in more touch with their constituents. Ron Paul is widely regarded as a racist and his defeat would go a long way to change the face of today’s “Tea Party.”

“How does this appeal to independent voters who see the stimulus as a failure and are worried about out-of-control spending and the deficit?”

it’s that continuing belief in rational behavior, that facts will break thru. We’re in the economic disaster that resulted from rightwing ideology – and self-interest at least would effectuate actions that lead out, not back into, the catastrophe wingers created.

Swim is up…

Teabaggers, a modern day Know-Nothing Party.

Obviously we have trolls trying to counteract any rational discussion such as usually is the attraction for being in FDL comments, and I am going to ignore them as I don’t choose dissidence and don’t plan to.

An intelligent, well thought out rebuttal to the concerns of those who oppose the growth of the federal government, the bailout of failing, Dem favored companies, the size of the deficit and unemployement.

Bravo!

You call railing on Broder and Palin rational?

Hahahahaha.

How do you propose to attract independent voters to the progressive cause or change the face of today’s corrupt, compromised Democratic party? Do you not need their support to win elections? Are there enough of you out there to do it alone?

Here’s another Indie. Concern trolls, modern day 5th columnists.

Same old same old control of mass communication by our offshore multinational puppetmasters. Puppet Broder is just a neo-con betraying his country everyday. It does appear, that being a neo-con pig is a requirement to work for WaPooP or Newsweek.

i don’t know if it was the first. maybe. but it was, i think anyway, mostly a fund raiser for paul.

and i really don’t think it’s the tea partyers who are primarying paul.

not trying to specifically defend paul or tea party supporters. just trying to get the story as straight as i can. (and to add: i remember when the right was portraying anti-war activists like me as represented by ANSWER.).

lets hope broder is as right about palin as he was nixon and bush so we can be rid of her. It sure would be nice to not be seeing her pathetic mug and hearing her twisted reality all the damn time on corporate media. The dolt is WAY overexposed for the idiocy she breeds.

So, to be the “dean of Washington’s press corp,” you need to be right but not necessarily correct.

As we all know Nixon was the one…however corporations were slightly on the minus side of nefarious back then, they are now in complete control of government. Now who’s the one?

While I don’t think Palin will be or should be President you shouldn’t underestimate her.

Plus, the more a left wingnut extremist site like this obsesses and knocks her the more popular she gets with the right wingnuts.

“”David Broder, a man with his finger on the pulse of the American people”

Do they take a pulse anally now?

Vore @65 is right. Shut up and bend over.
