E.J. Dionne and the NPR Poll

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  June 17th, 2010 at 11:12 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

E.J. Dionne, one of the single most annoying liberals on the planet, simply dismisses the NPR poll out of hand (it shows 49% re-electing their GOP Member of Congress, but only 34% re-electing the Dem) by calling it “preposterous:”

“But the numbers in the NPR survey are so bad that Democrats might pause before becoming lemmings. There is something preposterous about how the administration and congressional Democrats have lost every major public argument that they should be winning.”

The most preposterous thing about E.J Dionne is that he is dismissing the NPR poll as preposterous. (Everyone knows the NPR is a nest of tea-party conservatives.)

After all, if he did not call it preposterous, he would have to confront the following reality: the same people he has been encouraging and reassuring on ObamaCare, who listened to him, will have committed political suicide.

Therefore, E.J. Dionne (who has been wrong for two years about ObamaCare) must share the blame for the dire, Speaker-ending, Dem House Majority ending political consequences of the Dems voting against the wishes of the American public, or, E.J. Dionne can simply dig a hole in the ground, stick his head in it and declare that NPR’s poll is preposterous.

Guess which option E.J. Dionne picked?

He picked the head in the sand option while he continued to encourage Dems to embrace and defend ObamaCare.

Perfect. Go ahead. Make the voter’s day.

    My exact reaction was just about your closing sentence.

    I like Dionne — he’s fun, in that, to a degree even greater than Paul Krugman, he will claim to believe absolutely whatever he needs the public to believe for liberal political expediency. He is simply incapable of ever realizing the jig is up, and will eventually go down with the ship, spouting Baghdad Bob-type happy horses**t all the way.

    politically brain-dead, since without him and his pals telling the Dems to be so stupid, they probably would not have been

      …that he’s politically braindead; no more than most liberal writers, anyway. He knows what he wants, and he lies with great abandon, as his faith requires. But he has, in total spades, that one fatal flaw most leftists show sooner or later – he bets everything on his opponents’ stupidity. He simply cannot be made to understand that they aren’t.

      Sometimes I think that is the fundamental strategic flaw of leftism — you have to think the people you want to subjugate are inferior. How could you possibly hope to succeed if they aren’t? Well, ok then… so… what if they aren’t?

        he is confusing the left’s ability to confuse and force weak Senators and Congressmen to vote for ObamaCare with what the voter wants and will do — as proven by their inability to comprehend their losses that will be so extensive or the loss of the independents.

        Or Obama’s radical slide in the polls that was massive under his push for ObamaCare — which makes the loss over Deep Horizon look like small potatoes.
