Talking points part deux: Hit Hillary, Pelosi over DeLay tee
http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Talking_p..._Pelosi_over_De_05_30_2005_0925pm.html

"The fallout from NBC?s ?Law & Order: Criminal Intent? episode featuring the Tom DeLay T-shirt continued over the Memorial Day break," Roll Call's Mary Ann Akers will dish Tuesday. "House Republican message makers, back in their districts and vacation destinations, are armed with talking points on what to say about the episode that so riled their fearless Majority Leader."

Roll Call obtained a set of talking points issued by House GOP Conference Vice Chairman Jack Kingston (Ga.). In response to a Law and Order episode featuring a police officer who declared ?Maybe we should put out an APB for somebody in a Tom DeLay T-shirt,? the House GOP aimed at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).

Kingston, Akers reveals, "has been out on the TV circuit blaring outrage. Kingston instructed members who serve on the House GOP message team to ?repeat that this was a PERSONAL swipe at Tom DeLay during sweeps week.? In a memo to his message folks, Kingston gave four talking points, telling Members to stay on message that ?L&O? finished ?dead last? in sweeps week, is biased and liberal, and, in what he called 'outrageous and over-the-top,' associated DeLay with a 'racist, anti-semitic judge killer.'"

"Then he suggested some ?zingers? for GOP Members to use on the subject," Akers adds. "Criticize NBC?s Katie Couric for one. And secondly and most importantly, he said, ?Turn the tables for a minute: You never see TV shows depicting a 15-year-old teenage girl driving across the state border to get an abortion with a Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton T-shirt on.?

This is going to go over like a lead zeppelin.

The more they focus on this piss-ant stuff and whine and moan like the little bitches they are, the more Americans are going to see through their hatred.

Keep it up, GOP!

So does Tom Delay. The fact that that assclown is still in the position he's in really tells me what kind of party the Republicans are really running.

As to this actual gripe this time, I don't get it. Is there some reason a TV show can't throw a political joke in? Who cares if it makes Tom Delay look bad, he's a public figure, and he certainly won't be the last public figure who's made fun of in a TV show.

I swear, the righties have only one mode, and that's "outraged". Whatever is going on, they are fvcking pissed off about it. Those people really need to go sit in a corner and drink a nice tall glass of calm down juice.

It's interesting you can make that determination, seeing as how we're really at an odd political time. The Republicans have been doing a lot of winning, so unless they do something with that power other than getting outraged about everything, there will be some blowback. Or do you really think Americans are fond of whiney politicians getting pissed off about TV shows?

Edit: I know some people disagree, but I still have faith in the intelligence of the American people. They actually do think and aren't all party tools.

 

[Jhhnn]

Perhaps the most telling facet of the far Right, Rainsford, is that they've become so accustomed to whining that they even whine about winning...

As for Delay and "Law&Order"- quick, call the Wahmbulance, Tommy-boy is on a crying jag... probably kinda touchy from contemplating a stay in Hunstville.

What's that song? "The bigger they come, they harder they fall, one and all"...

I question whether their outrage is really about outrage at all. It seems to be the BushCo Republicans have been quite effective at manipulating the media by ensuring they always have some anti-left, soundbite-laden "news" to monopolize the headlines. It neatly distracts the sheeple from the very real problems in this country, and the very real failures of BushCo and its minions.

If DeLay had any integrity at all (I know, but just go with it), he would acknowledge his comments about judges were inflammatory and inappropriate, and he would offer a good-natured nod to Law & Order for taking a well-deserved poke at him. In short, he would show that he's man enough to laugh at himself. Instead, we get the predictable attacks from the never, ever, ever wrong about anything gang.

The Democrats shouldn't have attempted to sling mud themselves in the first place when there's already so much of it on their own hands:

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u...ap_on_go_co/delay_congressional_travel

Republican and Democratic House members were nearly equal rules violators in failing to disclose their personal trips within 30 days after the trip's completion. There were 23 GOP members, 19 Democrats and 1 independent, all of them months or years late in their reporting to the House public records office.

D'oh!

Maybe that's why the Democrats are losing their @sses? Their politiicans are just SO bad at politics.

Oh really?

The topic title designates Delay's "attack on judges" as "mudslinging." I'm merely demonstrating that the "mudslinging" against Delay is backfiring a bit on the Democrats, so it seems perfectly within the subject matter of this topic.

 

[conjur]

Uh, the title implies the mudslinging is about to begin. The mess DeLay is in is not from mudslinging. It's from his own shady doings.

Or what you really meant to say was "mommy! johnny hit me first" so you could put your start stamp on it. Ofcourse as is usually the case with kids whining to mommy about someone hitting them - they have already done some hitting themselves.

Americans are stupid. They will continue to be stupid for the foreseeable future. But don't forget most Bush supporters have no idea what his policies are and actually tend to disagree with them. That fact also suggests they are stupid. To the extent they agree with Bush policies, they are stupid.
