So picking off one Republican is a concensus ?

The in-fighting on the Left is getting worse with each passing day. In just the last week, a whole host of prominent leftists have tried to distance themselves from the White House — including Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, Alan Grayson and Michael Moore. And check this out, a Democrat congressman is now campaigning against Obama.

http://hotlineoncall.nationaljournal.com/archives/2010/08/indiana_dem_kee.php

This backstabbing and infighting will continue to escalate. The shrewder Democrats now understand that the public sees the Obama administration as a complete and total failure. Each Leftist will want to blame another Leftist, and these “progressives” (LOL at that term!) only know how to smear, rant and insult. So this will just get uglier and uglier as election day approaches. And after the November debacle, the bickering on the Left will reach historic proportions. Just wait and see!

“Dems could have gotten a stronger health care bill”

Hell, they had to buy most of the votes they got which is going to cost many of the Democrats their job in November. Only Blacks and Hispanics like the health care bill. The cost of my health care insurance just went up 25% and the bill hasn’t gone into full effect yet.

God help us if that health care bill had been any “stronger”

“Dems could have gotten a stronger health care bill”

Yep, instead of a $1 trillion dollar 2,000-page bill, they could have passed a $2 trillion, 4000-page bill. But when you aren’t reading the bill, and plan on borrowing all the money from the Chinese, what difference does it really make? Might as well give everybody free healthcare and free ice cream and a free oil change every 5,000 miles.

A-FRICKEN-MEN.

Tommy Christopher is the leader of the “isn’t so” crowd.

Ruth Marcus is a hypocrite and an idiot. I suppose she hates the left bloggers, Markos Moulitsas in particular who blasted her back in July when she trashed Obama for recess appointing Donald Berwick but, didn’t have a problem with the recess appointment by the Bush administration of one Jon Leibowitz. Who is Jon Leibowitz? He’s the husband of, wait for it…..RUTH MARCUS! Oh, and Ronnie Raygun trippled the deficit but, don’t ever let the facts get in the way of your ignorance.

Sure, if all you want is an elitist, snide attitude, you go opt for an amateur leftist. But if you really want that name calling, hateful arrogance, you should go with a professional.

Being called “deranged” by Ruth Marcus is like being called a pervert by Roman Polanski. This is the same Ruth Marcus who supports torture and thinks those who did it should not only not be prosecuted, but shouldn’t even be fired from their jobs.

She’s also the same Ruth Marcus who got a case of the vapors when Obama used a recess appointment to put Donald Berwick in charge of Medicare and Medicaid, but had no problem when Dubya did it.

Of course one of the people Bush recess-appointed was Marcus’ husband.

@murf – i agree they did under the administration of Clinton…lest we not forget and once and republic administration took over the reigns…poof in a matter of month the surplus disappeared and tax cuts reversed the trend…thanks for reminding us folks…

@moneymack – Lest not forget who has been in power of the Congress the past 4 years – Democrats .

@murf – wrong again. we took over congress in 2009 with the franken being finally sworn in after months of legal opposition from coleman…we had the house in 2006, but the senate just barely got 60 for less than a year. knock it off, this is why i say you guys get history wrong time and time again. forever misinforming.

@clinton also raised taxes on the rich during his administration and we enjoyed prosperity not seen since the 1920′s….debunk that.

@moneymack — misinformation ? Your entire copy/paste revisionist rant is completely and utterly flat wrong . From slavery , 1930s, to , 1960′s civil rights, debts, and budgets. There is blame to go around for both sides. But to say progressives are the ones historically on the right side , is beyond belief.

so my good buddy murf – where does youre position state anything that debunks anything ive posted. im here to be enlightened, to side with you. educate me on where in the history of the United States where our conservative values solved our problems, from prohibition to the the war on drugs, terror? excluding our ability to build a nuclear weapon and bomb another country with our military what else does a republican bring to the table that brings relief to all persons and citizens who exist on this land right now?

@clinton also raised taxes on the rich during his administration and we enjoyed prosperity not seen since the 1920’s….debunk that.

This is the liberal talking points flying around these days.

You CAN NOT compare the 1990′s economic time to the present

You do not raise taxes in a economic recession on the people investing and hiring . Economics 101

no economic major, explain to me how under 8 years of Bush’s tax cuts that less than 4 years before they expired did our economy suffer the worse recession since the 1930′s? was that some abberation? oh i forgot it was the two wasted wars we continue to fight…thats not your area of expertise, my bad.

i know one thing, if something works dont break it. we were absolutely fine with the economic policy Bush inherited even with the Dot-Com melt down because google was blowing up and myspace, facebook and other internet phenomenas were about to supplant those losses. but pandering to the rich and greedy lead us to over speculation and de-regulated financial markets lead to bad lending practices and hence a mortgage meltdown. worse than any era. and maybe im wrong but once the value of american land is inflated and deflated, where’s the almighty collateral credit relies on to lend? im far from an economist, but please if im wrong correct…i truly desire to stand correct than to sit ignorant.

The New Hampshire State Rep was sorry Palin wasnt on the plane thta killed Senator Stevens. Thats simply disgusting. But the Left-wing Blogosphere wants her dead. They want me dead. They want all tea party activists dead. All conservatives dead. Now thats deranged. Go to any Tea Party Website and check out the hate spewing from the liberal left.

Who gave the US slavery? Conservatives. Who abolished it? Progressives.

WRONG! It was Lincoln who ended slavery .

moneymack said:
Who gave us no women’s suffrage? Conservatives. Who enabled women to vote? Progressives.

WRONG! “ Finally, despite President Woodrow Wilson’s opposition, Congress passed what became, when it was ratified in 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment which prohibited state and federal agencies from gender-based restrictions on voting.”

It was an amendment not a law so 3/4ths of the states had to approve it.

moneymack said:
Who gave us “separate but equal” as a doctrine for race relations? Conservatives. Who abolished it? Progressives.

WRONG! The Brown Vs. Board of Education case was a unanimous SCOTUS decision of the Earl Warren court, Warren who was nominated to the SCOTUS by the Conservative Eisenhower.

Conservatives. Who gave us the 5 day work week, the 8 hour day, the minimum wage, the right to organize and collectively bargain? Progressives.

WRONG! Workers can not receive anything that a company does not agree to.And unions are now so universally detested in the USA that only 13% of workers belong to unions, most in the Public Sector which is why cities, states and the Fed govt. are bankrupt.

moneymack said:
Who gave us the Great Depression? Conservatives. Who saved the world from its effects? Progressives.

WRONG! The depression was another phase of the normal economic cycle that occurs every 10 -15 years or so. After the “roaring 20s” things had to go the other way and all of Roosevelt’s spending did ZERO to end the Depression.

“We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work.”

“I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises.”

“I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. … And an enormous debt to boot!”

Who said that? BHO??

NO!!

The words are those of none other than Henry Morgenthau Jr. — close friend, lunch companion, loyal secretary of the Treasury to President Franklin D. Roosevelt — and key architect of FDR’s New Deal.
It was WWII the ended the Depression.

moneymack said:

WRONG! Child, FDR was in office from 1933- 1945 and when did Hitler come to power? In 1934 after President Paul von Hindenburg died and FDR let Hitler have free rein over Europe and NAfrica.

WRONG! The CRA ’64 was passed by Republicans over the filibustering of Democrats. A much larger percent of Republicans voted for the bill than did Democrats.

The Senate version:
• Democratic Party: 46-21 (69%–31%)
• Republican Party: 27-6 (82%–18%)

The Senate version, voted on by the House:
• Democratic Party: 153-91 (63%–37%)
• Republican Party: 136-35 (80%–20%)

In the ‘80s when things finally started to turn around after the Carters disaster?

Carter’s legacy is now inextricably linked to the ”Misery Index.” No president in the history of the country had a Misery Index as high as Jimmy Carter’s. Carter had an average Index of 16.27 percent during his term (1977-80). When he finally left Washington in 1980 is was at an all-time high of 21.98 percent. Not a record I would be proud of if I were you .

”
If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.”
- President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

- Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

“He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983.” S
- Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

“[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.”

WRONG!

It was the housing bubble that lead to the financial meltdown and guess who was in charge in Congress telling people that “a house was a right?”

Progressives- Led by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd!

And the deficit? Ha!

As for the deficit, CBO shows that over the first three years of the Obama Presidency, 2009-2011, the federal government will borrow an estimated $3.7 trillion. THAT IS MORE THAN THE ENTIRE ACCUMULATED NATIONAL DEBT FOR THE FIRST 225 YEARS OF U.S. HISTORY. By 2019, the interest payments on this debt will be larger than the budget for education, roads and all other nondefense discretionary spending.

Deficit climbs to record under Obama’s budget
$3.8 trillion budget: Jobs take priority; reaction swift
February 02, 2010|By Carolyn Lochhead, Chronicle Washington Bureau

Washington — President Obama’s $3.8 trillion budget blueprint for next year sets a new deficit record of $1.56 trillion, includes a big jobs program and rolls back Bush-era tax cuts for high-income Americans. The president sidestepped any major attack on chronic deficits, which would not drop below $700 billion in the next several years.

Democrats Take Control on Hill
New Speaker Pelosi Shepherds Ethics Bills To Passage in House

By Jonathan Weisman and Shailagh Murray
Washington Post Staff Writers
Friday, January 5, 2007

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was elected America’s first female speaker of the House yesterday in a raucous, bipartisan celebration of a historic breakthrough, and hours later she presided over passage of the broadest ethics and lobbying revision since the Watergate era.

Democrats took control of the House and Senate after 12 years of nearly unbroken Republican rule, with resolute calls for bipartisan comity and a pledge to move quickly on an agenda of health-care, homeland security, education and energy proposals.

notsofast…nice revisionist history lesson. where on earth did you learn that lincoln was a conservative. far as i can tell abolitionist werent in line with conservatives in the 1800′s. FDR did nothing to end the Depression? it happens every 10 years, so i guess we must be living in the 1940′s cause nothing since then has the economy been this bad.

like i said before the dems took the house in 06. the senate in 09. so congress as a whole has been in democratic majority hands for now 9 months. debunk with facts not opinions. crediting SCOTUS is sooo far reaching, but even if it was so, explain the conservative oppositions to Brown v. Bd of Ed.

im not even going to go there with the 2 fraud wars, history cant change those facts. no matter your spin. progressives started labor unions, hate them but i bet you wish you were in one. sorry you work at Wal Mart.

funny how you conservatives are so outraged over deficit spending…whats up with the bush tax cuts on the deficit? worried now? didnt think so…will we ever be bankrupt? as a country, with our resources i say very unlikely. as much as you hate america now, bankruptcy isnt on the horizon, hate to dampen your dreams.

If I were employed by a Iraq War and pending Iran War cheer-leading “news organization” that proposed soirees in the publisher’s plush living quarters for the corporate powers that be that actually call the shots in America, in order to decide how they plan to act with regards to the needs of the little people, a media company that now shamelessly and enthusiastically shills for the masters of the universe on Wall Street by promoting S.S. privatization and abolishing the estate tax, I’d hardly be casting aspersions of derangement or much of anything else.

The villagers can call names all they want against those who’ve been right on matters of war and peace, economics, and any number of matters crucial to our formerly civil society the last thirty years, but in the end all they’ll have are their totally rationalized memoirs telling all who will listen they were actually intrepid reporters and not stenographers and cheerleaders for war crimes and the destruction of the American Middle Class Dream.

She probably missed Stephen Colbert’s brilliant explanation of her job and place at the White House Correspondents Dinner. When’s the novel due, Ruth?

@murf & notsofast – Absolutely a great takedown. moneymack has to tap out. I’ve never seen anybody get that much history wrong in 1 post.

Tommy, you’re not gonna sit back and take being called deranged are ya?

Tommy — Thanks for finally acknowledging not having a journalism degree or ever taking a writing class. However, if you actually have any interest in elevating your writing ability above a 7th-grader’s diary, please get to a community college or adult class near you quickly.

Here’s one beauty: “But it’s not a hippie acid trip to think that the Dems could have gotten a stronger health care bill had they, themselves, bothered to count to 60 while they still could.”

Now why would you place commas after “they” and “themselves”? Italics on “themselves” would have provided the accentuation you wanted.

And please learn how to use transitions instead of placing the word “but” into every other sentence.

It’s little things like this that prompt my co-workers and I pass around your columns for our almost-daily dose of unintentional entertainment. At least we can all take solace in knowing you’ll always be a joke to everyone in the industry.

Good luck finding that Helen Thomas nameplate, although most real reporters (the ones who have the actual education and experience to even be called such) would simply call the White House Correspondents Association since they did a makeover of all the nameplates to address the new seating chart about two weeks ago.

Of course, that might provide an answer to an inquiry hardly anyone cares enough to even investigate.

Have a good weekend!

The Democrats never had 60 votes for a more liberal healthcare reform bill. Lieberman is not a Democrat anymore, and he would have derailed any plan that had the left’s beloved public option.

Besides, the Senate approved IT’S healthcare reform bill before Scott Brown was elected, so there was never any hope of getting a more liberal bill through the Senate.

You are joking right? This is a lib joke?

SCOTUS did not end “separate but equal?” Now I am in favor of more funding for education if you are THAT dense

Lincoln a Progressive? That’s funny. If Lincoln were a Progressive , he would have called for establishing a commission after SC succeeded from the Union. No way a crybaby Progressive would go to war.

And FDR going after Hitler? Are you kidding? FDR did everything he could to stay out of the war let alone go after Hitler. It was Hitler who declared war on the USA first- not the other way around.

And FDR then proceeded to rid the world of those evil men? How about Stalin, a greater murderer than Hitler whom FDR and Truman called “Uncle Joe?”

And how about all those Commies in the FDR and Truman governments?

Alger Hiss- Asst. Sec of State
Harry Dexter White- Asst.Sec of Treasury
Lauchlin Currie- Assistant to FDR
Duncan lee- Chief of Staff to OSS
Harry Hopkins- Special Advisor to FDR
Owen Lattimore- Foreign Policy Advisor
Frank Coe- Rep. to IMF- who took the 5th when asked if he were a commie and who fled to Red China where he became a top advisor to the Commie govt. until his death

Yeah, you Progressives sure got rid of evil people like Stalin and Mao, didn’t ya?

Democrats win control of Senate
NBC: Webb apparent victor in Va.; win solidifies Democratic power on Hill

NBC, msnbc.com and news services
updated 11/9/2006 3:12:10 AM ET

WASHINGTON — Democrats wrested control of the Senate from Republicans Wednesday with an upset victory in Virginia, giving the party complete domination of Capitol Hill for the first time since 1994, as NBC News reported that Democrat Jim Webb was the apparent winner. ”

Nov 9 2006 4:28 PM EST 1,535
It’s Official: Democrats Take Over Both Houses Of Congress
Virginia Senator George Allen conceded defeat Thursday afternoon.

By Kurt Orzeck and Gil Kaufman

Democrats thought the midterm-election outcome was pretty sweet when they woke up Wednesday morning with control of the House of Representatives. But this year’s election proved to be the gift that kept on giving: On Thursday (November 9), after a bitterly contested race that seemed headed for a lengthy recount, Virginia’s Republican Senator George Allen conceded the race to his Democratic rival, Jim Webb, setting the stage for Democrats to take over leadership of the Senate as well.

I love your revisionist history!

Most people’s understanding of liberals is wrong.

When the Professional Left (and I like this term) rails on Obama, it’s not because Obama is making things worse, it’s that Obama isn’t making things worse fast enough.

They want Obama to have more Liberal Courage to fight the conservatives. What is Liberal Courage?. Liberal Courage is knowingly doing the wrong thing.

It takes a certain courage to keep coming up with programs that end up hurting people. Obama has it and the uber Leftists want him to push more liberalism upon us.

You never hear about Obama talking about making things better. It’s always about making things “equal.” What happens is they have to tear down success and behaviors that lead to success in order to force things to be “equal.”

Once people understand this, it will be a lot easier to defeat the liberals.. People want things better first, not “equal” first. “Equal” is not better.

Hey Tommy, here’s the fruits of ObamaCare so far:

Health Insurers are giving out record bonuses to top executives, and premiums – on virtually ALL group policies have INCREASED!

What Obama LIE # is this?

HE’LL LIE ABOUT ANYTHING!
—————————————–
Remember in November: A Vote for ANY Democrat is a Vote for Obama’s War On America!

1. Senator Grayson called Republicans worse than Al-Queda.

2. Mediamatters has done more editing than biggovernment.com, but the MSM yawns.

3. Journolists, well known MSM writers and bloggers, PLOT to call anyone who question Obama’s pastor, an America hating RACIST AND ANTI-SEMITE, a racist. Now Mediaite writers is calling someone a racist for questioning policies is ‘fair’ then I am missing something.

4. Bloggers and reporters mislead readers and public about conservatives when it is about race, even LYING, BUT cover up racist talk from the Left, like Oliver Stone, Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Hillary Clinton.

5. Left Bloggers can use vulgarity against conservatives, also misogyny, and racism against conservatives who are women and minorities, but scream racism if the shoe is on the other foot.

6. Leftists will openly write about death of conservative politicians and even rape, like the Playboy writer, but that is seldom done by conservatives, and if there is that person is drummed out of sight, but the a Liberal is not. In fact Leftist are praised, seen as funny, or even not chastised if they wish death on a conservative. Example there was a movie made about THE DEATH OF GEORGE W. BUSH…and it was praised and shown in a film festival, yet a simple caricature of Obama at a fair is blasted by the MSM. Leftist bloggers and Liberals will scream bloody murder if someone puts a joker face or Hitler mustache on Obama, BUT for years the same was done on Bush. But they say everyone is equal..if everyone was equal…why can’t Obama be treated the same since the Left lectured it us that any denigration of conservative politicians was “freedom of speech” and freedom of expression.

7. Leftist bloggers can say that 9/11 was an inside job and that we, the US attacked ourselves, and that the CIA plants drugs in the minority communites (oh and I am a minority) and not be written up as crazys by the majority of the MSM, but the MSM will play up Birthers as the only ones who are crazy. Check out the treatment of both by the MSM.

You see Tommy, I was once an ardent Liberal, but then I opened my eyes and could see the INJUSTICE and unfairness that was going on in the world of ideas…can you?

The Progressive Liberal who started Planned Parenthood was into eugenics and wanted the black population of the US not to reproduce. She lamented that blacks would diminish the USA.

Even Al Gore SENIOR, Al Gore’s father was anti-civil rights. He even died NOT REGRETTING what he believed. Gore Sr. fought against the Civil Rights Act and when it was passed he fought it tooth and nail to overturn it. Al Gore has tried to re-write the history of his father as a man who fought for civil rights, but in fact he was the opposite.

Tommy and Liberals think about this.

So why give her a pass…and Van Jones?

Poor ignorant moneymack just can’t get anything right. Now he thinks the dems didn’t control the senate until 09. Where does he get this stuff?

“Tom,”

I misspoke when I said your resume was factually accurate. I meant that I don’t have a journalism degree, and have been a professional writer for only a few years. Just FTR, I did take 2 years of college, switching majors after 1 year.

If you had read the Helen Thomas story, you’d see that I did check with the WHCA and the White House press office.

I see you’re still hiding behind an anonymous handle, while claiming to have worked with me before. That’s a particularly yellow practice for someone who seeks to lecture me about journalism.

You also have a disconcerting familiarity with my work for someone who is not a fan. You’ve obviously been stewing about this for a long time, but have only recently escalated to anonymous haranguing. Whatever the source of your fixation with me, try to get some help for it before it escalates to something even more unhealthy.

The health care bill that was signed into law was passed by the Senate while they still had the 60 seats required for cloture. It was the “best” they could do and still have support of all 60 Democrats in the Senate. They didn’t have the votes for a public option while they still had the cloture majority, so being able to count to 60 had nothing to do with it.

Will Rogers famously remarked that he was not a member of an organized political party, he was a Democrat. While the demographics of the political parties has changed since then – the party is mostly urban and minority now, with no “Solid South” – the tendency to form circular firing squads when things go wrong is still there – a characteristic it shares with the Republicans.

Tommy- You truly are condescending prick, aren’t you? Calling my mental health into question just isn’t the way to go here. My issue with you has been expressed in a sober and lucid fashion.

Allow me to go further since we somehow run in the same circles:

1) Your columns do nothing but bring the political discourse in the country down to a whole new level. You have no ability to be objective, only to serve as an obnoxious ideologue who can’t put a cohesive sentence together while insulting every rule of grammar invented. Your goal: pick a side and watch one (conservatives) get angry in the comments section. To present a fair and (for lack of a better word) balanced story simply isn’t in your DNA, and that ‘s partially due to having no concept of what the true goal of a journalist is:

Truth.

2) As I touched on briefly above, your writing itself leaves very much to be desired. Even your best friends in the industry would gently tell you it’s complete garbage from a structure and presentation perspective. You don’t know the meaning of a lead, your tangents are blatant and the rule of circling back is a concept totally foreign to you. The use of “I” and “me” permeate your columns…as if your readers hadn’ t figured out who the writer was and where the opinion was coming from by seeing that strange thing below the title called a “byline”.

3) Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. That said the fact you somehow got this gig during a liberal administration is the career version of winning Powerball (without anything closely resembling a six-figure salary). For that, commendation is in order. People work their whole lives to get to the Brady Room. You did in less than five years. Kudos.

Ultimately, however, most of us associated with those who work there laugh at your ass-kissing and pathetic act that you’re somehow equal. You’re not. You’re the bat boy who gets to travel with the team. The Assistant to the Traveling Secretary. A blogger spitting in the wind with the typical crappy standards of most associated with new media.

Feel free to call me unhinged, Tommy. No one is better at changing the subject and avoiding the obvious.

I’m simply writing what you already know deep down in places you don’t want to talk at parties.

My work is done here.

tomcable –

Normally I consider grammar flames to be beneath me, but since you continually harp on Tommy’s grammar without giving concrete examples, I’ll show you how it’s done.

You go on to list several issues. You should have said “My issues with you have been”

You’re not actually going further, since you already called him a “condescending prick.” You’re elucidating. Look it up. Also, claiming to run in the same circles while hiding behind anonymity is a pussy move.

the phrase “the political discourse” has a superfluous definite article. Since you’re not talking about a specific political discourse, but political discourse in general, the use of the word “the” is incorrect. Also, this sentence contains an indefinite object. You again misuse “the,” a definite article, in the phrase “the country” without having previously specified what country you’re referring to. Additionally, the phrase “down to a whole new level” means that Tommy brings political discourse in America to a level that it has never before been brought to – a clear fallacy.

The comma after “objective” should be a semicolon. When you’re connecting two independent clauses you should use a semicolon, not a comma. Also, your use of a subordinating conjunction muddies the meaning of this sentence. Do you mean that Tommy can put a cohesive sentence together when he does not violate every rule of grammar invented, but can’t do so when he does violate them? That’s what “while” means. You should also have clarified “invented” with “ever,” though that’s more of a stylistic complaint than a clear grammar violation.

tomcable said:
Your goal: pick a side and watch one (conservatives) get angry in the comments section.

“One” in this context replaces the indefinite article “a” for emphasis, to indicate that only one of a thing, not two or three, is being referred to. As such, it requires an indefinite noun to modify. It should be “watch one side (conservatives)” to identify what “one” is modifying. Also, “comments section” should be in quotes or at least capitalized.

Starting a sentence with an infinitive sounds awkward, as if one is giving a formal speech. Also, what you mean is that “the ability to present a fair…isn’t in your DNA.” Also, you should never put a space between a word and an apostrophe. I understand that you put a line between “is:” and “Truth” for emphasis, but that is incorrect use of a colon. That saddens me, since you managed to use it correctly earlier. If you want to have that blank line and capitalize “Truth” for emphasis, use a period. Otherwise, follow a colon with a space and begin the next clause with a lowercase letter unless it is a proper noun.

The clause “As I touched on briefly above” is superfluous, and since you take Tommy to task for using “I” and “me” in his writing, you’d do best to avoid it. This sentence, while not violating any grammar rules explicitly, is stilted. “itself” and “very” are correctly used for emphasis, but unnecessary to convey your point.

You don’t know the meaning of a lead, your tangents are blatant and the rule of circling back is a concept totally foreign to you.

Again, the comma after “lead” should be a semicolon. Also, “a lead” should be in quotation marks, since you’re reffering to Tommy not knowing the definition of the phrase “a lead.” “Blatant” is an adjective, and should be placed before the noun it modifies unless it comes at the end of a sentence. There should also be a semicolon after blatant. “Rule of circling back” should be in quotation marks. For clarity, the last clause of the sentence should really read “the concept of circling back is totally foreign to you.”

You should have put “that” before “it’s.”

tomcable said:

You should specify that you’re referring to pronouns, as in “The use of the pronouns ‘I’ and ‘me’…” Also, “the use” is singular, so it should get the singular form of the verb, so “permeate” should be “permeates.” The ellipsis is superfluous and used incorrectly. Again, never put a space between a word and an apostrophe. It should be ” ‘a byline.’ ” not ” a ‘byline’. ” In addition to not putting the indefinite article inside the quotes, trailing punctuation also belongs inside the quotes.

I could go on, but I think you get the idea.

HOLY FUCK.

Dave Be owns.

Have a seat, “tomcable.”

You’ve officially been served.

It isn’t “backstabbing and infighting” to oppose the policies of a president that has governed somewhere to the right of Clinton when what we need is a swing in the other direction, at least long enough to get money flowing through people’s hands again. Those people are right to oppose Obama, because he is wrong to work against them; and, make no mistake, that’s exactly what he’s been doing these last three years. I’m as ready to see him go as anybody, and I voted for him enthusiastically.

You should raise hell with your INSURANCE COMPANY, then.

That’s cute. Reagan would be in Huntsman territory right now if he were trying to win the GOP nomination.

You misspelled “filibuster.” HTH.

Not to mention that there was whole explosive industry invented around the Internet that didn’t exist before.

I tried to follow your advice, but went to Andrew Breitbart’s BigGovernment.com by mistake. I confess, I did see several threats, explicit and implied, of armed violence against liberals by “the ones that have the guns,” as they said. Is that what you’re talking about?

Go piss up a pole. We’ve been hearing threats of anti-liberal violence for a generation now…you don’t get to be a victim until some Alan Colmes listener goes and tries to blow up an obscure right-wing think tank that nobody but Alan Colmes is talking about. I’m sick of fascists accusing my side of the argument of the very things that they excel at and then posturing about it like boy scouts in the comment section.
