Yup.

[Smilo]

1. Typical bullies........ they can dish it out,

but they can't take it.

[FarPoint]

2. The republicans were never invited.

Only one attended that I know of and he was invited....Governor Crist.

The republicans whine constantly....they are weak and impotent...with a flair for deception.

[DonCoquixote]

3. Typical

They never yank the leash when the Ann Coulters and Michelle Malkins or, heaven forbid, el Rushbo goes after our throats, but they whine just because their convention stunk to high heaven?

[BeyondGeography]

4. Did they applaud for Barack Obama at their convention?

Schweitzer said nice things about Mitt the person last night and there was very audible applause.

Anyway, fuck them.

[struggle4progress]

5. These are the folk who didn't want to let Zoraida Fonelladas speak, right?

[Chorophyll]

6. I do believe they're projecting.

For a bunch of peanut-chucking racists, they're quite sensitive.

[CBHagman]

36. Resentment, projection, victimhood.

Standard operating procedure for the current GOP:

1. Resentment. Use of terms such as "elitist" and "free stuff" (this from people who are just fine with using their own advantages to increase/gain wealth and power).

2. Projection. Whatever the GOP or right wing does, it accuses the other side of. Part of this is attacking opponents on their strengths. This was done in 2004.

3. Victimhood. Typical technique of bullies and manipulators in general. Throws any encounter off balance unless the opponent knows how to respond.

I'd add to the three above:

4. Aggression. Go on the offensive.

5. Volume and repetition. Repeat, repeat, repeat, and get the media to accept the talking points and eventually echo them. That's what was done in 2000.

7. Are you fucking serious???

" RNC chairman Reince Priebus called the Democrats "classless" for showing a 1994 video of Ted Kennedy debating (and embarrassing) a decidedly more liberal Mitt Romney."

Classless for showing a video of a political debate???? What mother fucking planet are you living on!! You know what would be classless?? Somebody going up there and calling you a slimy sack of monkey shit! Oh wait, I used the wrong word. That wouldn't be classless, but true!

Sorry, but I'm raging out a bit here, so if I offended anybody, I apologize.

But seriously...

[LibGranny]

9. I thought his name was Rinse Penis?

[mykpart]

23. What makes them think

there would ever be a Democratic convention that WOULDN'T honor Ted Kennedy in some way? He's a party icon. Just because they were too embarrassed to have Bush at their convention?

[NYC Liberal]

34. Don't let them get to you...they're just desperate.

They know they have no defense. And it's pretty silly of them to keep talking about it, since anyone who hadn't seen it will now probably go find the video and watch it after reading that article.

[Liberal Gramma]

8. Huh?

We weren't supposed to point out that they are selfish lying sacks of shit?

[msanthrope]

10. They can go fuck themselves. How's that for civility? nt

[LiberalAndProud]

11. Truth hurts.

I don't give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them and they think it's Hell.

The most important defense to an action for defamation is truth.

[jsr]

12. Damn whiners

[MagickMuffin]

13. A reply entirely of smilies with additional context or summary!

[ailsagirl]

16. Don't forget the CNN camerawoman who was racially assaulted. That was rich.

[calimary]

17. This is hilarious, MagickMuffin!!!

VERY clever!!!

[ailsagirl]

14. Lack. Of. Civility?

Those people are certifiable.
Not ONE of them has the faintest idea what 'civility' even means.
They're a pathetic excuse for human beings. Pity them.

[AsahinaKimi]

15. I hope they had to chew on everything that was said

and made to swallow it.

[Incitatus]

18. I was expecting another article from The Onion. nt

[demosincebirth]

19. Give me a fucking break!! The bullies get bullied and they don't like it!

[cynatnite]

20. So, their official response is that the Dems are too mean...

OMG, that's fucking hilarious.

The Dems have had a history of rolling over and being spineless while being accused of not being patriotic, called baby-killers and godless.

They finally stand up to the bullies....

and Dems are the mean ones? Priceless!

[laundry_queen]

26. That is totally typical of bullies

which is why *some* of us here have been begging the Dems to do this for YEARS! Bullies often dish it out, but back right down and whine like infants when stood up to.

[ProSense]

21. Their candidate is a

birther who jokes about rising sea levels and thinks the troops are not important enough to be thanked.

They're dealing with a lot of psychological issues.

[ballabosh]

22. Boo fucking hoo!

Take your ball and go home. Please.

[Cha]

24. Two things you can count on the gops to do..

LIE & WHINE WHINE & LIE...WAH WAH WAH..THOSE MEAN DEMS TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT US ..MF THUMBSUCKERS.

[backscatter712]

25. The only proper response is to kick the bastards in the nuts again as they writhe on the ground. n/t

[quaker bill]

30. A bit of the George Carlin approach - eh?

to paraphrase: Of course you kick them when they are down, you are in this fight to win, right? If you don't kick them when they are down, they might get up and beat the cr*p out of you. You kick them when they are down and you do it often. If you are not up to it, perhaps you should not have gotten in the fight....

[backscatter712]

38. Damned straight!

I've always been a student of the Cobra Kai school of political combat.

STRIKE FIRST! STRIKE HARD! NO MERCY SIR!

[jberryhill]

27. I blame PETA, for releasing these monkeys from labs in the first place.

[IDemo]

35. Monkeys and repubs

One is a simple minded knuckle-dragger prone to occasional shrieking and dung flinging; the other likes bananas.

[Freddie]

28. From the party whose icon called a private citizen a "slut"

Repeatedly, on a show listened to by millions.
From the party whose convention featured a popular actor who essentially told the President of the United States, "fuck you"
From the party who shouted "you lie!" to said President at a State of the Union address.
As Shakespeare said, "thou dost protest too much".

[nopedontlikeitatall]

29. Whatever you say Rinse Penis

What a tool.

[emulatorloo]

31. Projection. As in "it takes a lot of brass to accuse the Dems of what the Republicans did"

[NotThisTime]

32. Wahhhhh, cry babies.

[porphyrian]

33. Good, they need some practice crying. It's going to be a long four years for them. n/t

[lunatica]

37. It's not what we say, it's how we say it that they're whining about.

We're so nasty about telling the truth!

They really are

[treestar]

39. They make up their own reality

The only way to explain it. They know people who did not watch the convention might believe them. Very cynical moves.

[Peepsite]

40. Civility? Are these the same folk who were throwing peanuts at African Americans?
