		<description>Catching up on Hotair this morning.

georgej has it right.

This party seems more like a fringe group in the mold of Lyndon LaRouche then a main stream opposition party.

They have broken the 80/20 rule a friend gave me long ago that has served well in measuring human nature.

Normally 80 percent of people are pretty decent, 20 percent are not. If the percentages reverse you are in trouble.

For a political movement, normally a successful political party represents about 80 percent of its base, the remaining 20 percent being the fringe. 

It is the middle of a bell curve a party must represent, not the edges. 

The DEMS are trying to fight the curve by forcing the center of their base to the fringe with

1. rape/pillage/atrocity war reports on the opposition
2. rape/pillage/atrocity domestic reports on the opposition

This is like herding chickens with a bullwhip. They will run scared, and they won&#039;t leave the chicken yard,  but deep inside they would rather scratch and eat corn. 

Somewhere along the line they connect you to the whip.</description>

		<description>Rangel and Pelosi (and Schumer) are finding out that they &lt;strong&gt;DO NOT&lt;/strong&gt; control the KOS/DU Brownshirts.  The Brownshirts control the party instead.

Such a pitty.

The party of Wilson, FDR, Truman, JFK, Humphrey and Scoop Jackson, is no more.</description>

		<description>Attila
&lt;blockquote&gt;Ahmadinejad looks more like Yakov Smirnoff, but I guess that’s not as funny. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

He looks like a beady-eyed little rat in a Members Only jacket to me. The true face of evil. In the coming years we&#039;ll see replays of the speeches he&#039;s giving right now shown alongside and compared accurately to the speeches of hitler. You watch and see.</description>

We don&#039;t normally have a cartoon of the day, (even our &quot;Quote of the Day&quot; is awfully sporadic), but if we did, this would be today&#039;s entry. As Allah writes:The irony of what Rangel said yesterday isnt that Democrats demonize......</description>

If it&#039;s pandering, it&#039;s good pandering.</description>

		<description>I cant help but wonder if Hugo and I&#039;mamadjihad were a little  confused at the response they received from their remarks.          Afterall, if they watch TV, American TV (which they do of course) in their controlled TV nations, they receive say 5-6 news sources. NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, and maybe MSNBC on rare days. So 5 out of 6 &#039;news&#039; channels beat up President Bush, pontificate about all of the evils here and the horrible state of the nation 24 hours a day. Iraq is viewed and reported as the worst thing since the plague and Bush ( some even call him hitler) is to blame for everything bad in the world right now. That&#039;s before they even get to the lefty blogs. SO, They were REPEATING what our own news puts out daily. Our own MSM is very much to blame for all the bullsh*t rhetoric eminating from the Axis of Evil countries.
The MSM gives them all the ammo they could ever need, just repeat what they print. T&lt;strong&gt;hats Disturbing and disgusting , our own MSM is our worst enemy, and our enemies best source.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>[...] Hot Air links us up with a Real Clear Politics political cartoon showing that the Democrat outrage against Chavez has everything to do with the realization that years of Bush bashing by Democrat leaders paved the way for the likes of Chavez. It hits a little too close to home for the Dems when they hear Chavez pick up where the left off.

		<description>Hahahaha...after reading one of the Kos threads, I can see Pelosi, Rangel, and the Dems have got themselves in a corner. After all their &quot;Bush lied et al.&quot; retoric, the right will never accept them. When they talk with some sanity and denounce Chavez, the little darlings in their base want nothing to do with them. They have created a monster and now it is turning on them. How fun this will be to watch in the coming weeks as their party melts down again....</description>
