Last night skinhead Nazis openly attended a speech by the so-called "President" of the

[rzemanfl]

United States of America.

Now let's argue about Bernie some more.

[shraby]

1. The Bernie stuff is ridiculous to the max.

[rzemanfl]

2. True. n/t

[HughBeaumont]

5. VERY ridiculous.

The Democratic Party needs our votes.

Lumping us in with the Alt-Right (something the right wing media is currently doing) isn't the greatest way of getting them.

[Cooley Hurd]

6. We're called the "alt-left" right here on DU...

[HughBeaumont]

7. WOW.

. . . . and to the people who call us that, I say "Oh well, easier than looking in a mirror, I guess . . . "

[Cooley Hurd]

8. Yeah, "liberal" is now a dirty word on this site...

Reminds me of the 1987 SNL sketch "The Liberal"

[HughBeaumont]

19. I don't know what's more hilarious (or depressing) . . .

. . . that nothing's really changed since President Senile's days or that there are three card-carrying wingnuts (one of them a super batshit crank magnet) in this sketch.

[progressoid]

23. Victoria Jackson, Dennis Miller, and who's the third?

Lovitz?

[SchrodingersCatbox]

35. Matthew Modine nt

[progressoid]

46. You sure bout that?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/2008/04/30/matthew-modine-explains-card-carrying-liberal-to-oreilly.html

[SchrodingersCatbox]

49. Modine, lovitz, and Jackson

It's Modine, not Miller, but there is the misleading caption of " Matthew Modine" at the start of the video

What, exactly, do the links prove?

[progressoid]

51. Maybe this film Modine wrote and directed will help.

https://vimeo.com/43749428

[SchrodingersCatbox]

53. Which, again, proves what?

other than Modine is a wingnut?

Are you really trying to suggest that an ACTOR who is a wingnut couldn't possibly ACT in a comedy sketch that satirizes liberals?

[progressoid]

55. OK, let me get this straight.

I posted a link where Modine literally says he's a Card Carrying Liberal and you think he's a right wing nut?

MODINE: "And that word is very special to me and very important to our nation, that our country was founded on liberal ideas. And that's why I made this card, the Card Carrying Liberal because I wanted to restore the meaning... I believe in public education and public health. And I think that people that don't have the opportunity to have a good education, good health care deserve for me to help them, to give them a hand up.

In the other link he praises Carter, Clinton and Gore and you think he's a right wing nut?

I posted a video he made about inclusiveness and multiculturalism and you think he's a right wing nut?

Here's what he thinks about Donald Trump:

[SchrodingersCatbox]

56. Nope, didn't read any of your links

I asked what they showed, and you responded with more links.

I will ask more directly, since you seem to have trouble comprehending the original issue: what is the point of your links with regard to whether or not Matthew Modine is in that sketch?

[progressoid]

57. Speaking of comprehending the original issue.

Perhaps you should re-read the thread. Hughbeaumont said there were "three card-carrying wingnuts" in the sketch. I responded that I saw Victoria Jackson (bat-shit-crazy-right-wing-nut) and Dennis Miller (also right wing nut, just not as bat-shit-crazy). But I wondered who the third right winger was.

The original issue was, which cast member was the third right winger. I was not asking whether or not Modine was in the sketch. Does that clear it up?

Have a nice evening.

[SchrodingersCatbox]

59. Mea culpa

I read it as "who's that in the screenshot"

[progressoid]

60. Happy Tuesday!

[HughBeaumont]

43. Lovitz.

Matthew Modine is an environment-conscious guy.

[progressoid]

47. Yeah I can see that.

Didn't think it was Modine.

[SchrodingersCatbox]

54. Lovitz on the left, Modine middle, Jackson right

[Fantastic Anarchist]

37. Were Phil Hartmann and Matthew Modine right-wing nuts?

I know Victoria Jackson is, but didn't know about the other two.

[HughBeaumont]

44. Dennis Miller and John Lovitz.

[progressoid]

45. Fun fact. Phil Hartman was a graphic designer & did album covers for America, CSN, Steely Dan etc.

Before he became a comedian/actor...

[rzemanfl]

21. Now I understand why Victoria became a rightie. Seduced and abandoned by a liberal.

On television no less.

[progressoid]

25. Jesus, Victoria Jackson was awful.

[JudyM]

24. Exactly.

[Mountain Mule]

11. Indeed!

I don't understand why some people put so much energy into being the "anti-Bern" when every morning it takes about all the courage I have to just listen to the news and find out what the Traitor has done next. Perspective, folks. Perspective.

[elleng]

28. Thanks, Mule.

[RKP5637]

36. Same here!!! n/t

[TexasProgresive]

3. Someone posted about this last night and someone else replied

that tRump the buffoon in chief was an "asshole magnet."

[rzemanfl]

4. Birds of a feather, etc. n/t

[TexasProgresive]

9. That's what I told my wife before sharing the post with her. n/t

[CanonRay]

10. How many times can I rec this?

[IronLionZion]

12. Nazis are bad and Imma let you finish, but let's fight amongst ourselves first

Sometimes this place

[bitterross]

13. Thank you for the WAKE THE FUCK UP!

And pay attention to what is important moment.

[malaise]

14. Excellent post

Rec

[Coventina]

15. And yet, for saying that fascism is a real and growing problem

I was called childish.

[rzemanfl]

16. By whom? It seems to be our current form of government. n/t

[Coventina]

17. .

[rzemanfl]

20. Noted. Thanks. n/t

[Fantastic Anarchist]

38. They're stupid then.

What other evidence do they need?

[Brother Buzz]

18. I hate Pennsylvania Nazis......too!

[colsohlibgal]

22. Can We Quell This?

This is so like Germany in the early/mid 30s. They let it get out of hand, we need to beat it back before it's too late.

[elleng]

27. Yes, it is.

In the middle of all this, I watched the movie Judgment at Nuremberg last night.

[Doreen]

32. The Germans see us doing the exact same thing they did and do a whole lot of head shaking.

They do not understand why we did not learn from their mistake.

[elleng]

26. Thanks, rzemanfl.

Watching out for fascism, and protecting the U.S., may be difficult, but DUers, at LEAST, should be able to figure things out. https://www.democraticunderground.com/10028999811

[rzemanfl]

29. Thank you. n/t

[spanone]

30. he speaks their language

[rzemanfl]

31. Which, of course, is the Jerkish tongue. In which the English phrase

"Caress her pudenda" translates to "grab 'em by the p***y."

[NurseJackie]

33. Yes, let's strengthen our Democratic Party and fight the things that threaten our nation.

Now let's argue about Bernie some more.

What a wonderful idea. You make a great point. There are SO MANY horrible things going on that need our undivided and unified attention. I'd absolutely LOVE it if he never gave us a reason TO criticize him, or TO defend our Democratic Party, or to stand up for our best and brightest new Democratic candidates.

[TheBlackAdder]

39. The Democratic Party is influenced by Koch-funded Third-Way supporters, Bernie's rise is pushback!

[rzemanfl]

40. You read the last sentence. n/t

[TheBlackAdder]

41. Yes, and how Russia infiltrated the GOP, the Third-Way infiltrated the Dems. I give them no shelter.

.


Just because the Democratic Party is embedded with them, does not mean that we should accept that this is the new position of the Democratic Party. If we do, then the party will remain weak for decades to come. We need to realign with our core values and positions, instead of allowing RW billionaires to inject their beliefs into our system as we sit back and accept and legitimize them.


.

[NurseJackie]

42. LOL

[Progressive dog]

34. Exactly-thanks nt

[JI7]

48. And yet there are people who still deny the racism

[rzemanfl]

50. Obama represented a huge threat to their worldview, in which such a person

was an impossibility.

[onecaliberal]

52. EXACTLY
