Oh, but you do tease me with the Sammich reference, don’t you, you cad.

Democrats are expected to handle that sort of thing, The GOP, on the other hand are made out of spun glass and should be coddled and protected at all times.

Little known fact- Mitt is stored in several layers of bubblewrap when not in public.

Is it a barbecue sandwich?

Mitt is a delicate porcelain cherub?

Because the President is the boss of EVERYONE, but only answers to SOME of the people. The people who agree with him.

It’s democracy in action, bitch.

McCain is a Plushy, but his fabric is hand wash only.

Well, clearly, the Repugs are at a disadvantage because the talking points that liberals hurl at them are based on reality. AND the liberals also have an advantage because Kucinich, often called the Democrats’ Ron Paul, is not only ten times smarter than Paul, he is also about a hundred times smarter than Thompson, McCain, Huckabee or Romney and about a million times more honest than Giuliani.

So it’s not fair to make challenges like that.

Liberals. Hmf.

Ok, let’s talk plants. In a debate, a plant can at least ask an oppositional question.

Can one of our GOP friends now explain why a gay male escort was planted in the White House Press Room when so many of our media whores give it away for free?

Allowing Democrats to ask questions at a Republican debate is like allowing Randy Johnson to pitch in the Little League World Series.

Mitt is a delicate porcelain cherub?
More the unicorn in a glass menagerie.

We were doing such a good job of neutralizing the trolls. Yet here’s Gavin, openly inviting them for a childish smorgasbord of sophistry, intellectual dishonesty, straw man arguments and “facts” pulled from Rush Limbaugh’s butt the likes of which we have never seen.

I’m kind of glad I have to leave for work now.

I kinda wished the GOP got nothing but the “please prove you hate brown people more than the other candidates” questions for as long as possible. Imagine all that escalation! By the time primary season finished up, they’d all be screaming, “death to all latinos!” in a Cobra Commander voice on pure reflexes, then, the first time they had to debate with a non-psycho, they would have no practice faking sanity and would come off as the complete wackos they are.

If Malkin had her druthers, we’d end up with a GOP candidate going into the national elections on his “internment camps for all brown people (except Michelle)” platform, and I think that’d be a good thing. The crazier a son of a bitch the GOP nominates, the better for the dems.

I, for one, don’t like any of them getting any practice in trying to sound reasonable.

Don’t worry. I predict that the wingers who speculate to no end about certain reactions by certain non-wingers to certain situations anyone with a pulse realizes is factual reality, will heroically ignore every attempt to call reality to their attention, and simply keep lying.

You guys broke YouTube! That’s awesome.

It is the mighty power of this blog that keeps me coming back every day. What will you target next?

I received an email from Redstate:

Dear RedState Reader:

RedState is calling for CNN to fire Sam Feist, their political director; and David Bohrman, Senior Vice President and Executive Producer of the debate.

During last night’s debate, which CNN billed as “a Republican debate, and the goal was to let Republican voters see their candidates,” CNN either knowingly or incompetently allowed hardcore left wing activists to plant questions and Anderson Cooper willingly gave one of those activists a soapbox so he could harass the Republican candidates about military policy.

Simple googling would have revealed these left wing activists.

Had CNN done its homework, this would not have happened. They either willfully let it happen, or incompetently bungled it. Either way, heads should roll.

Likewise, we hope one or more of the GOP Presidential candidates will call for a do-over debate on substantive policy issues.

Likewise, we hope one or more of the GOP Presidential candidates will call for a do-over debate on substantive policy issues.

And likewise, we hope that next November the GOP Presidential candidate will call for a do-over election.

Man, is there anything out of which these syphilitic idiots cannot manufacture a controversy? These people are running for president.

Of the United States.

That’s ALL of them.

Who cares WHO raises an issue. If it is an issue to americans, they need to answer it. And if their position on an issue, say gays in the military, is one that resonates with voters, why should they care how the issue was raised? They should make their points, and move on.

This may very well be the most depleted uranium dense stupidity we’ve seen in the campaign yet…

mikey

Right on mikey.

Shorter RedState:

OMG! SOMEONE LET DEMOCRATS INTO THE SACRED CIRCLE!!

I’m surprised they didn’t call for Cooper’s head. As one of teh ghey, he probably alarmed the fragile flowers that make up the GOP presidential candidates.

Dickholes.

Yet here’s Gavin, openly inviting them for a childish smorgasbord of sophistry, intellectual dishonesty, straw man arguments and “facts” pulled from Rush Limbaugh’s butt the likes of which we have never seen.

The trolls we’re trying to neutralize are the ones who pretend to take idiotic stances just to fuck with people. Like saul & tde. Watching people debate them is like watching a particularly mean segment on Candid Camera. But the true believers and the responses they get when they come here are fucking hilarious. I remind you of Fauxhammer, Alec Rawls, Tacky Trevino, Dave from Texas and his friend Fozzi, etc. The Dogstar post was great too but I think that was a joke on us by Gavin. I would love to see some wingnuts come over here and argue how the CNN youtube debate was so horrible for the poor wiwa GOP candidates. Sure, it wouldn’t take more than a little while before they get argued into a corner and start claiming the Nazis were socialists and reminding everyone that 45 years ago segregationists voted Democratic but that’s funny shit too.

Went over and tried to read the posts at freeper-I did not realize that you could actually stack stupid that high! Sammiches did not appeal to me after the tour.

So why is MAlkin and Freep-world concerned that the Republican candidates are being quizzed by liberals? Is she afraid they’ll be at a disadvantage? I thought all these right wingers had their handy dandy little book of “How to respond to a liberal.”

Seems like they forgot to pack their copy.

Oh yeah, that clip with the guy holding the Bible and asking the candidates if they believed every word “of this specific book I am holding in my hand right now” would have been great if he followed up their responses with him taking off the Bible cover and revealing some other book, like Slave Girl of Gor.

[…] thing is, as Sadly No! reminds us, Republicans, and perhaps more importantly, Republican talking points, were not exactly banned from […]

I got that letter too. I wanted to respond back: Shut Up, Morans! But then I would probably stop getting hilarious action alerts from the Morans at RedState.

CNN is trying to drum up some controversy by revealing that the questioner is on a Clinton committee. And? These are YouTube debates, where anyone including a devious Clinton partisan can submit questions which are then selected via some agreed-upon process. There is no conflict of interest here or misrepresentation, the rules do not state that only avid Republicans can offer submissions. The man was not posing as a reporter or faking his military service. His question was deemed valid and worthy enough for inclusion, who he is doesn’t change that.

As far as I know the YouTube questioners don’t have to sign a loyalty oath or reveal their affiliations. I guess the problem with accepting questions from anyone is that you can get questions from anyone?

Submitting a question via an accepted process is not “planting” anything.

I, too, got that little Redstate missive. It baffled me at first, since I didn’t remember signing up for a Redstate account under my real name. But then I did the only decent thing: I clicked on the “unsubscribe” link and terminated our business relationship.

It was a sad moment, I suppose, but it had to be done.

They banned me, in any case. What did they expect I would do? Boycott CNN?

Simple googling would have revealed these left wing activists.

Advanced googling would allow the NSA to shoot Hellfire missiles at them.

Why do you think it’s a some kind of meaningful “response” to a charge that Dems are planting questions at a Rep debate to point out that Reps plant questions at Dem debates?

If X murders Y, can he defend himself by pointing out that A has already murdered B? Certainly not in a court of law. Does A have to let X kill Y, rather than taking action to stop it?

Does Bush invading Iraq mean Clinton can invade Iran?

You know, Dems haven’t re-elected an elected president with a majority of the popular vote in the last 60 years, while Reps have done it four different times. Maybe part of the explanation is that Dems just don’t get it.

Is it really so difficult for you to defend planting questions on its own merits, so that you are reduced to pointing out that your adversary does it to? If it is, maybe you need to reevaluate your position and call for Dems to stop doing it, regardless of what Reps do, and maybe think of effective ways to stop Reps from doing it, and criticize them for it, instead of rationalizing what is obviously unethical behavior.

“Mitt is a delicate porcelain cherub?”

That’s a typo. The correct phrase is, “Mitt has a delicate porcelain chubby.”

Why do you think it’s a some kind of meaningful “response” to a charge that Dems are planting questions at a Rep debate to point out that Reps plant questions at Dem debates?

If I have a shit analogy, can I claim it’s as bad as sawing the head off an infant?

“You know, Dems haven’t re-elected an elected president with a majority of the popular vote in the last 60 years, while Reps have done it four different times.”

Well Reps having elected a president three times like EVA!

So, moving on, can you please tell us what is so wrong with ‘planting’ questions to the GoP candidates, would you not want them to at least awser some questions out the mainstream, or are they all just too delicate for such questions?

Johnny Fairplay misses the point entirely. Shocking.

Here’s the thing, JohnBoy: I’m pretty sure Gavin was pointing out that the Dems don’t CARE who asks them the questions because they are more than willing to answer questions on their own merits without throwing a tantrum about it like you delicate little flowers. And at the same time pointing out the Wingnutosphere’s hypocrisy when they pose hypotheticals and imagine-ifs that, in reality, ACTUALLY FUCKING HAPPENED, YOU IDIOTS.

I hope that clarifies.

To reiterate, we do not care who asks the questions at all because we our candidates and our base does not consist of raving lunatics. So your equating “planting a question” with “murder” or “invading Iraq” is about the most ridiculous comparison a human being could possibly come up with. Kudos.

It is so much fun to make the collective blood pressure of the wingnutosphere skyrocket. The only ‘bad’ thing about all of this is CNN’s immediate apology – acting like they did something wrong. They did not.

The “outrage” the wingnuts fabricate out of vapor hides what tender, weak little wimps they are. If asking a real question about a real issue is that hard for their candidates, how in the world do they think any one of that pitiful octet could govern? Oh – right – just like the awful piece of shit who infests our White House today.

That’s ok, folks. Keep screaming. Keep whining. The more you do, the better we look.

Yes, well a few minutes of searching using Google would have shown that that question was filmed by TheUpTake

http://blogs.citypages.com/gop/2007/07/the_uptake_focu.php#more

who is formed mostly by members of the DFL, or the Democratic Farmer Labor Party.

So put down that sammich, and do some research.

Really, there are only two decent questions:

a) How can I help the Republicans win?
b) George W Bush: Great president or Greatest President?

Damn, I guess I tuned in to late to see the disclaimer that stated that any question by any citizen who cannot be positively identified as a card carrying Republican shall be deleted from public view.

I hope the bubble boys get this question at every public forum from now on. I’m quite sure there are some gay republicans who would be willing to sign the loyalty oath and everything.

Yes, well a few minutes of searching using Google would have shown that that question was filmed by TheUpTake … who is formed mostly by members of the DFL, or the Democratic Farmer Labor Party.

A prototypical wingnut complaint, combining bad grammar and utter irrelevance.

Proto-typical internet troll response when the person is correct… attack the person.

The film makers were Democrats. How is that a plant? How is that irrelevant? What proof do you have that the question was not by a democrat? Because he does not tow the party line?

………….or having an entire ‘debate’ landmined by dik cheney’s go to boy lil’ timmah russert…

If we have reached a point where an elector cannot ask a question in a debate because they are apparently affiliated with an “incorrect” group, then we have lost sight of the whole basis of representative democracy.
An elected representative represents all electors in a district, not just the ones that voted for him/her. Working backwards from that principle, any elector has the right to ask a question of a candidate. Party affiiliation be damned. The party affiliation argument is a gigantic red herring, utterly irrelevant. If candidates want to be protected from awkward questions, they can try, but it is up to us to blow the whistle on that little scam loudly and repeatedly.
Anybody who argues in favour of exclusion of questions based on the supposed affiliation of the questioner is by definition unqualified to make any pronouncement on the electoral process, and needs to STFU. CNN should have told the complainers to go take a hike.

Maybe one of you hysterical leftists can tell us when in the video the guy idenitified himself by party?

Or are you saying that only Republicans are against tax hikes?

Maybe one of you hysterical leftists can tell us when in the video the guy idenitified himself by party?

If by hysterical you mean that we’re laughing our hot leftist asses off at scared shitless morons like you that are flooding the internet with complaints about the questioners while paying no attention at all to the answers the GOP candidates gave then yeah, fuckface, we’re hysterical. Take a step back, put on some clean underwear and reflect upon how gutless you all sound. And learn to spell “identified” while you’re at it.

Nice little rant but you didn’t answer the question.
