com The tea party radicals they created

The republicans should have placed Karl Rove behind bars when they had a chance, for his part in starting the FALSE AND WRONG war against Iraq, ridiculously hiding behind the 9/ll attack. They knew all along that Iraq had NOTHING to do with the 9/11 attacks. Do KKKarl Rove and his looney friends seem to care about all our American military men and women who died because of his stupidity? It does not even seem likely.

More than several republicans would now like to divorce themselves of the Tea Party and the likes of Ted Cruz, the little tantrum boy they created, but they are now saddled with him. Placido

MUST-SEE: Jon Stewart blasts Republicans for complaining about Tea Party radicals they helped create

by BruinKidFollow Last night, Jon Stewart blasted the Republicans who are now complaining about the Tea Party crazies, when they were the ones who enabled them in the first place. But of course, the Republican Party's brain its architect, El Blossom del Turdo has a plan to fix all this, and wouldn't you know, his plan involves sending money care of El Blossom del Turdo. 2/17/2013: CHRIS WALLACE: Karl (Rove) has helped launch the Conservative Victory Project ... that has made the Tea Party and people who are supporting that part of the Republican Party very upset. KARL ROVE: Our object is to avoid having stupid candidates who can't win general elections. (wild audience applause) "Oh, and um... and to make this country a better place for all its citizens. Naw, it's actually the elections thing." The goal of Mr. Rove's Conservative Victory Project is to identify candidates with bonafide conservative-based credentials whilst not actually being from the conservative base, so that they are actually controllable. Because Rove knows the crazy talk's not supposed to be said (whispers) out loud.
10/14/2013: BILL O'REILLY: The Republican Party seems to have hurt itself. That's what the polls say. And you say?

KARL ROVE: I think that's accurate. Look, we Republicans and conservatives angry over the victory of President Obama wanted somebody to stand up and fight. ... The defund strategy was never going to work.

Thank you, Commander Hindsight! "Listen, Bill, I told 'em it wasn't gonna work, and then I also called a guy, and I said, a Lone Ranger movie in 2013? No, I would never. And then I said to Steve Jobs, no one wants to take pictures with their phones. I mean, uh, cancel that. What I said to Steve Jobs was, sure wish I could fit all my songs in my pocket." But the shutdown. It's too uncompromising. Focused too much on stoking the anger of the Republican base over Obamacare without an exit strategy. It's as though the entire misguided shutdown affair was a culmination of a decade-long strategy to rile up and politically engage the most rigid and ideological pockets of the Republican Party. Which is why Karl Rove has no right to complain about all these radicals ruining his nice Republican Party, because he's the one who invited them! (audience applause) I give you, Building Red America by Tommy Edsall. During the 2004 election, ol' Captain Retrospectively Obvious set out the GOP's strategy of "activating conservatives' anger points", rather than reaching out to moderates. Anger points like "free health care for illegal immigrants" and "same sex marriage", leading to scenes like this, a sitting United States Senator from Rove's home state of Texas sharing the stage at a rally with this gentleman.

LARRY KLAYMAN (10/13/2013): We are now "ruled" by a President who bows down to Allah. ... I call upon all of you to wage a second American non-violent revolution, to use civil disobedience, and to demand that this President leave town. To get out. To put the Koran down. To get up off his knees. And to figuratively come up (sic) with his hands out (sic).

There are so many things wrong with that... factually, ideologilogically, grammatically. (wild audience applause)

Meanwhile, doesn't it... it looks like everybody behind him is like, "Shut the fuck up, so we can bid on those storage containers!" (audience laughter and applause) So now, ol' Turd Blossom here has to create a super PAC to attempt to battle the stupid he himself unleashed. So no simpatico, for a guy who started a fire that now rages out of control. (scene from The Naked Gun) Perhaps, the single least self-examining Republican crazy-enabler is the increasingly senior Senator from Arizona, who had this to say about his colleagues' uncompromising shutdown strategy.

SEN. JOHN McCAIN, R-AZ (10/16/2013): We are now seeing the end of this agonizing odyssey that this body has been put through. ... It's one of the more shameful chapters that I have seen in the years that I have spent here in the Senate. WOLF BLITZER (3/8/2013): Senator John McCain calling some of his Republican colleagues, I'm quoting now, "wacko birds".

You don't get to complain!! McCain, you don't get to complain. At all. Because if I remember correctly, no matter how cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs you think your wacko bird colleagues are, they don't come anywhere close to your hatchling. SEN. JOHN McCAIN, R-AZ (9/4/2008): And I found just the right partner to help me shake up Washington, D.C., Governor Sarah Palin from the great state of Alaska!

You opened Pandora's Box! You were the guy who gave the Mogwai a post-midnight all-you-can-eat buffet! (wild audience applause) You don't get to complain that now the party's overrun with gremlins! "What's happening?? I don't know what's happening!" We'll be right back.

Video below the fold.

Kristen Schaal then talked about sexy Halloween costumes.

Meanwhile, Stephen weighed in on lions versus tigers, new food products, and the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book.

Jon talked with Malcolm Gladwell, and Stephen talked with author A. Scott Berg. Originally posted to BruinKid on Wed Oct 23, 2013 at 05:01 AM PDT. Also republished by Electronic America: Progressives Film, music & Arts Group.

Tip Jar (56+ / 0-) How to debunk the Right's lies on global warming by BruinKid on Wed Oct 23, 2013 at 05:01:31 AM PDT

Who could have guessed... (10+ / 0-) ...that the abomination they created would turn on them? Everything Right is Wrong Again - TMBG (lyrics) by GreenPA on Wed Oct 23, 2013 at 05:54:51 AM PDT

Zombie Reagan (6+ / 0-) and this is no joke, the policies the Reagan administration set in motion 32 years ago began us down this road. And even if there was any intellectual thought or earnestness behind it like "hey this is a good thing we're doing, really!" , Bush/Cheney and their assembly of idiotic sycophants we are now left with, made sure it was as cynically applied a philosophy of robber-baron-hood as one could hope for. Zombie Reagan lives to ruin us all. Unless we kill it. by NYFM on Wed Oct 23, 2013 at 06:32:28 AM PDT [ Parent ]

The end of the second segment... (5+ / 0-) ... with Kristen Schaal is screamingly funny!!! I just howled with laughter!

:-D The first segment putting KKKarl in his place regarding the Teahadists was spot ON. I'm sick of attempts to steer this nation from principles evolved in The Age of Reason to hallucinations derived from illiterate herdsmen. ~ Crashing Vor by NonnyO on Wed Oct 23, 2013 at 06:55:48 AM PDT

the gremlins reference was apt (3+ / 0-) -You want to change the system, run for office. by Deep Texan on Wed Oct 23, 2013 at 06:59:07 AM PDT

I think the ironic bit (2+ / 0-) is that is tied into the Citizens United ruling. The conservatives are used to using their base for votes, not for money. They are used to calling the shots by contolling the money that comes into the RNC. Social media has allowed fundraising to be more democratized, and of course Citizens United paved the way for PACs to raise unlimited funds without having to disclose the names of donors. So a bunch of funds with "America" and "Freedom" in their names have sprung up, and allowed the far-right politicians to be as radical as they like without worrying about losing funding from the RNC. They don't need the RNC anymore. "YOPP!" --Horton Hears a Who by Reepicheep on Wed Oct 23, 2013 at 07:27:48 AM PDT

Karl Rove's solution? (3+ / 0-) Send me more money! "We the People of the United States...." -U.S. Constitution by elwior on Wed Oct 23, 2013 at 07:31:18 AM PDT

Combining "enthusiasm" of crazies with $ (3+ / 0-) of the top .001% was a pretty good strategy, allowing the minority party to punch way above its weight. But the thing about crazies is that the are crazy, and not about to get back in the cage. "One faction of one party in one House of Congress in one branch of government doesn't get to shut down the entire government just to refight the results of an election." by Inland on Wed Oct 23, 2013 at 07:48:19 AM PDT

The Tea Party/GOP is clearly a secessionist party (1+ / 0-) They see DC as the enemy because of racism, because of their theocratic leanings or because their Ayn Rand ideology.

The Tea Party IS the GOP now. And they are going over the cliff whether their more "traditional" members want it or not. It would be funny if they weren't so dangerous. In 2014 they'll hit the ground. Daily Kos an oasis of truth. Truth that leads to action. by Shockwave on Wed Oct 23, 2013 at 09:01:25 AM PDT

It's not fair to pick on McCain's VP choice... (0+ / 0-) and not remind folks that Al Gore thought Joe Leiberman was a good choice for a Democratic VP. Sarah Palin is a far better representative of the contemporary Republican party than Leiberman ever was for the Democratic party. Besides, McCain had Leiberman as his first choice, which does show some sanity. Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your shackles. It is by the picket line and direct action that true freedom will be won, not by electing people who promise to screw us less than the other guy. by rhonan on Wed Oct 23, 2013 at 11:32:01 AM PDT

You can criticize Gore's choice of Lieberman, but (0+ / 0-) the fact is he was never the locomotive for a runaway train the way Palin became. by toddsmitts on Wed Oct 23, 2013 at 12:28:31 PM PDT [ Parent ]
