What a clownshow that party has become.



GOP, RNC to rebrand Democrats as 'Socialists'
By ROGER SIMON | 5/13/09 4:32 AM EDT Text Size:

A member of the Republican National Committee told me Tuesday that when the RNC meets in an extraordinary special session next week, it will approve a resolution rebranding Democrats as the “Democrat Socialist Party.”

When I asked if such a resolution would force RNC Chairman Michael Steele to use that label when talking about Democrats in all his speeches and press releases, the RNC member replied: “Who cares?”

Which pretty much sums up the attitude some members of the RNC have toward their chairman these days.

Steele wrote a memo last month opposing the resolution. Steele said that while he believes Democrats “are indeed marching America toward European-style socialism,” he also said in a (rare) flash of insight that officially referring to them as the Democrat Socialist Party “will accomplish little than to give the media and our opponents the opportunity to mischaracterize Republicans.”

1. Exactly how would the Democrats mischaracterize idiots?

I'm not smart enough to figure out how that happens.

18. Republican Fascist Party

[SoFlaJet]

2. Just another stunt which nobody will notice anyway

while the face of the party Dick Cheney will show up again on Fox or some other RW shill show on TV or radio and block the coverage by accusing the Obama administration of doing exactly what HE is doing-endangering the country by not letting us put the past 8 years behind us. All he does is reminds the rest of the world what atrocities we as a nation committed under Bush Co making it harder to forgive and forget...

3. Just when you think threr was no possible way Republicans could sink lower thewy manage to find

a way to live down to expectations.

This will make for good reading in Wikipedia in five years, when kids look to find out what the Republican Party was.

[Happyhippychick]

9. Proud member of the new DSC! Can we get t-shirts?

[Buzz Clik]

10. Well, when you've got nothing, you rip your opponent.

The GOP is becoming a laughing stock.

[Ganja Ninja]

11. Well this should have the masses flocking back to the GOP.

Try not to get caught in the stampede. :crazy: :silly:

[Vinca]

12. I hope they don't drive on the socialist public highway to get to the meeting.

[tanyev]

13. You can just pass a resolution and start calling an organization by a different name? Cool.

I propose we pass a resolution to call them the Theocratic Wingnut Party on the Express Train to Crazytown.


ETA: I just realized that should be the Theocrat Wingnut Party on the Express Train to Crazytown.

[Zynx]

14. Or "Pedophiles Anonymous"

[Joe Bacon]

15. So when do we start passing out the red roses?

After all, they are the symbol of the Socialist International!

16. Let 'em do it. We'll rub their faces in that word! Starting with Wall Street & thenCongressionaljobs

[niceypoo]

17. I agree completely

More childish icing on their cake

Hey GOP, maybe if you hold your breath until your collective heads explode someone will take notice but probabally not!

[Clio the Leo]

19. Thank you comrade! NT

[yellowcanine]

20. "...give the media and our opponents the opportunity to mischaracterize Republicans."

No need for Democrats to say anything actually. The actions of Republicans speak for them.

[Renew Deal]

21. These idiots have made "socialism" acceptable.

No one was talking about socialism here until they brought it up. Recently there was a poll with the word "socialism" and socialism polled surprisingly high. Gee, I wonder why? The pukes have made it a choice between "socialism" and incompetence, and socialism is winning. :dunce:

[ChoralScholar]

22. in the words of Toby Ziegler...

"There's nothing Republicans do better than naming things..."

[Arugula Latte]

[Barack_America]

30. Ha!

This is fantastic.

If it's such a stunningly bad idea that Steele gets it...nah, nevermind, it's just to damn enjoyable watching them march off a cliff.

[windbreeze]

31. I gotta tell ya...last night I was on another site...in fact I see a lot of things

posted there, that eventually find their way here to DU...and vice versa...and one person who has seemed, in the past to be reasonable to me, made a post about how the Democrats are attacking Christians...how we intend to take their guns and then their bibles...and a few other choice pieces of bs...I was astounded...and responded by saying I had never heard anything so silly in my life...and that he could damn sure let someone take his guns and his bible...but I never would..and have been a Democrat all my life....WHERE do these people get this crap???? I had one from Missouri, tell me a few weeks back, that Obama had taken his SS check from him, he was convinced, and nothing I said made him stop and consider what he'd said...so I told him I didn't know where he got his information, but suggested he stop watching Faux news....again...do they live on another planet or am I the naive one???? wb

[Parker CA]

32. HAHA, my vote is to replace their current failephant with that clown graphic. Hilarious visual!!
