Mary Matalin: Thanks To Romney, We Can Single Out ‘Parasites’

Conservative commentator Mary Matalin hailed Mitt Romney's "47 percent" on CNN as good news for Republicans.

"There are makers and takers, there are producers and there are parasites," she said. "Americans can distinguish between those who have produced and paid in through no fault of their own and because of Obama's horrible polcies who cannot get a job or are underemployed. That's what the campaign is about."

1. So my 85 yo mom is a parasite because dad served in Marines from WWII through Vietnam?

Really?

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. *pffffft*

So what? Is that supposed to make the GOP care a whit about them?

[spanone]

2. they are pathetic...every fucking one of them.

[renie408]

3. This is totally mind boggling to me.

[banned from Kos]

4. That would make her husband a parasite too

What a fucking disgrace to humanity she is.

[Angry Dragon]

5. 'who cannot get a job or are underemployed'

How about those job creators that got those tax cuts??
Are the republicans saying those tax cuts do not work??

[TwilightGardener]

6. They're betting that everyone will see themselves as producers and not parasites.

They want the 47%'s to be angry at each other, call each other parasites. Winning on hate and division, it's all they have left.

[BeyondGeography]

8. Keep digging, Mary

[hifiguy]

9. Matalin =Human sewage. nt

[Raine]

10. "parasites" like Rmoney & his ilk who take, take, take from this country

then whine and cry like babies when they are asked to pay back the country that gave them so much.

[Generic Other]

11. My mother is a soldier's widow not a parasite

How dare that tax dodging chickenhawk pension stealing son of a polygamous gangrape accuse my mother of being a moocher.

How dare he.

[Strelnikov_]

12. She would have made a good assistant to Goebbels

She would look great in black, and that silver deaths head emblem would just bring it all together . . .

[liberalmuse]

13. Conservatives are nucking futs!

Some of them have absolutely no comprehension of "reality". It has to be a mental illness or something. I can't believe people would choose to be this nasty.

[RKP5637]

28. It is a function of how their brains work. Here is an interesting study

if you have not seen it ...

"The Cognitive Neuroscience of Liberals and Conservatives"

14. I thought they put an extra lock on the trailer??

How did she get out??

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

15. Hey, go polish a turd, you worthless unproductive spewer of vile garbage

[jberryhill]

16. .

[cr8tvlde]

17. She's a Republican Paid Pundit. They let these cretins go on and on and on..ad nasuem.

...and even let her close out the clip. A required course for Republicans is "How to Outshout and Interrupt and Insult"

[Spazito]

18. She is so disgusting, it is impossible to find the right adjectives to adequately...

describe her. Hearing her say what she did physically nauseated me, the hater she is came out in full view today.

[sendero]

19. All they can do now..

.. is double-down and hope no one takes a look at who their 47% are or what taxes they pay compared to the "producers".

I think their plan is insane but then Americans buy into so much bullshit it's hard to say.

[Peregrine Took]

20. How Carville stays with her is one of the biggest mysteries of modern times.

If he isn't secretly simpatico, politically, they must be two of the strangest people in Christendom.

[WooWooWoo]

21. I'm actually glad we're having this debate

its the debate conservatives have been wanting to have for decades. Finally, Romney - of all people - unintentionally brings it into the spotlight.

Now America can finally choose and put the issue to rest. Do we want an inclusive government that actually helps people - or a bare-bones government that only promotes war and value of being a "maker."

[Kingofalldems]

22. The GOP is all about the wants and needs of the 1%

The family values and catering to the fundies is all a ploy to get votes. They despise the fundies e.g. Now it is all out in the open. Thanks Mitt.

[Bozita]

23. She sure took her government paycheck while working for a traitor/war criminal in the WH

24. Matalin produces NOTHING OF VALUE TO A MODERN ECONOMY.

She is more useless to adding to the the GDP of this nation than a lowly shoe-shine stand owner, who actually provides a service worthy of his pay.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Matalin thinks old people are parasites because they paid into the system for only 47 years. nt

[valerief]

26. Who dragged that thing out of her crypt? nt

[RKP5637]

27. Mary Matalin is not the sharpest tool in the tool shed. We used to be

one country, but the damn fools, such as Romney and Matalin want out and out division. She is one sick puppy.

[tomm2thumbs]

29. doesn't she promote a product for Mitsubishi Electric - this makes Mitsubishi look REALLY BAD!

maybe that Japanese company, who is know for making considered decisions in business, should re-consider -- I have worked for Mitsubishi out of New York in the past and they don't like folks who taint their products with vile condemnation of Mitsubishi's existing and potential customers. In fact, I'd say her association with them makes their company's products VERY UNAPPEALING entirely.

Maybe if more people started opening up about companies that support these crap politicians, they'd start to realize their money is NOT well spent.

[BootinUp]

30. What a disgusting message.

I hope there is such a landslide victory for Obama that these ugly thinking people are locked out of mainstream politics for the rest of their miserable existence.

[bullwinkle428]

31. Chairwoman of the Republican Welcome Wagon, don'tcha know!

[Major Nikon]

32. Someone ought to sit Mary and Willard down and explain a very simple concept to them

[ProSense]

33. Yes. n/t

[kath]

34. Wow. Just wow.

Listening to her and Romney and others of their ilk really makes ya wanna bring out the guillotines, ya know?

[sad sally]

35. The whiskey schill better look in the mirror as to who's the parasite

parasite - an organism that exploits another organism to stay alive

[HiPointDem]

36. "Producers"? LOL. People like mitt romney are WRECKERS, not producers. The overwhelming

majority of their money comes from asset-stripping, speculation, & diversion of government money from its appropriate uses.

They're rentiers, not 'producers'. In the exact way that the aristocracy of the ancien regime were rentiers, taking a cut on every human activity from the actual producers (the peasantry).

[AsahinaKimi]

37. God I hate her arrogance

Goman na hitoga kirada, baka tare!!

[keroro gunsou]
