Statement from DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse on the Republican Party and Allied Groups’ Mob Rule
The Republicans and their allied groups – desperate after losing two consecutive elections and every major policy fight on Capitol Hill – are inciting angry mobs of a small number of rabid right wing extremists funded by K Street Lobbyists to disrupt thoughtful discussions about the future of health care in America taking place in Congressional Districts across the country.
However, much like we saw at the McCain-Palin rallies last year where crowds were baited with cries of ‘socialist,’ ‘communist,’ and where the birthers movement was born – these mobs of extremists are not interested in having a thoughtful discussion about the issues – but like some Republican leaders have said – they are interested in ‘breaking’ the President and destroying his Presidency.
These mobs are bussed in by well funded, highly organized groups run by Republican operatives and funded by the special interests who are desperately trying to stop the agenda for change the President was elected to bring to Washington. Despite the headline grabbing nature of these angry mobs and their disruptions of events, they are not reflective of where the American people are on the issues – or the hundreds of thousands of thoughtful discussions taking place around kitchen tables, water coolers and in homes.
The right wing extremists’ use of things like devil horns on pictures of our elected officials, hanging members of Congress in effigy, breathlessly questioning the President’s citizenship and the use of Nazi SS symbols and the like just shows how outside of the mainstream the Republican Party and their allies are. This type of anger and discord did not serve Republicans well in 2008 – and it is bound to backfire again.
Does anyone else notice the blatant irony of this statement in this nothing but ad hominem hit piece? “these mobs of extremists are not interested in having a thoughtful discussion about the issues”.
Congressman Wants Government GPS In Cars, so we can be taxed accordingly – this time I am not kidding, I joked about On-Star and the new Government Motors, but this crap is real and stinky.
Newly released data from the IRS clearly debunks the conventional Beltway rhetoric that the “rich” are not paying their fair share of taxes.
Indeed, the IRS data shows that in 2007—the most recent data available—the top 1 percent of taxpayers paid 40.4 percent of the total income taxes collected by the federal government. This is the highest percentage in modern history. By contrast, the top 1 percent paid 24.8 percent of the income tax burden in 1987, the year following the 1986 tax reform act.
[…]
To put this in perspective, the top 1 percent is comprised of just 1.4 million taxpayers and they pay a larger share of the income tax burden now than the bottom 134 million taxpayers combined.
It is not often that I am truly shocked by what is going on in Gaza, and with Hamas. This however has me actually sick to my stomach. How the world can sit idly by and ignore this sort of thing is mind-boggling. The fact that the U.S. is probably paying for it is even worse.
This is not Change I believe in!

SHEIKH ZAYED CITY, Gaza Strip — Nearly a thousand Palestinians celebrated marriage on Thursday night in a ceremony organised by Hamas in the north of the Gaza Strip.
Hamas dignitaries including Mahmud Zahar, one of the militant group’s top leaders, were on hand to congratulate 450 grooms who took part in the carefully stage-managed event.
“We are saying to the world and to America that you cannot deny us joy and happiness,” Zahar told the men, all of whom were dressed in identical black suits and hailed from the nearby Jabalia refugee camp.
Each groom received a present of 500 dollars from Hamas, which said its workers had also contributed five percent of their monthly salaries to add to the wedding gift.
The 450 brides shared none of the glamour, taking seats among the audience of around 1,000 party guests: most couples had already taken part in religious ceremonies elsewhere, with more marriages planned for the next few days.
“We are presenting this wedding as a gift to our people who stood firm in the face of the siege and the war,” local Hamas strongman Ibrahim Salaf said in a speech.
The Gaza Strip has been under Israeli blockade since the Islamist Hamas movement seized control there in June 2007. In December and January 1,400 Gazans and 13 Israelis were killed in a 22-day war that left much of the territory in ruins.
Notice how the AFP article says nothing about the ages of the girls, ignores what is really taking place at this event, but finds space to stick in a blurb about how “evil” Israel is. What the heck does Israel have to do with this wedding of 450 old perverts to pre-pubescent girls? This sort of thing is unheard of in Israel.
The media, and the liberal establishment behind it, should be ashamed of themselves. They are so blinded by Israel hatred, Islamist sycophancy, multiculturalism and their rudderless leftism that they have completely forgotten the universal principles of decency their liberalism is supposed to stand for. Instead they help Hamas turn the mass rape, and enslavement of over 400 pre-pubescent little girls into into some sort of glorious rebellion against a mythical oppression. This is really sick!
The following video shows the true age of the “brides”.
