By: Jeff Emanuel (Diary)  |  August 5th at 05:36 PM  | 

With well over half of America firmly in opposition to the Obama/Kennedy/Pelosi health overhaul plan, Democrats are grasping at anything they can possibly find to reassure themselves that they are still both right and representative of the “collective American will” on this and myriad other issues.

Update: “The RNC is inciting angry mobs to shout out legitimate discussion at public events across the country and now they want to ignore people who deplore their tactics,” said DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse about the DNC’s failed effort to incite angry mobs to flood the RNC with phone calls. *       *      * This is clever: Republicans played a trick on Democrats today by redirecting | Read More »

Democrats Attack ‘The Mob’ as the Community Organizer in Chief Unleashes His Hordes

By: Jeff Emanuel (Diary)  |  August 5th at 02:17 PM  | 

As President Obama called on his activists around the country to attend “thousands of events this month” in an effort to convince legislators that they, not the 55% of voters who oppose the Obama/Kennedy/Pelosi health care overhaul proposals, represent the majority of Americans (or, as a DailyKos diarist put it, “the collective will of the American people”), the Democratic National Committee was releasing an ad | Read More »

Support Rush, Oppose Obama, and Send the DNC a (Familiar) Message

By: Jeff Emanuel (Diary)  |  March 6th at 09:30 AM  | 

Entirely in tune with the “post-partisan” brand of “new politics” Barack Obama (D-IL) has brought with him to Washington, the DNC has launched a new contest: think of the smuggest, most partisan, and crudest ten-words-or-less message to Rush Limbaugh that you can, submit it for to the Democrat Party (along with your ZIP code and email address), and hope to win the grand prize: your | Read More »

Different Sheet of Music Alert: Contra Steph, the DNC Claims Eric Cantor, Rush Limbaugh are on the Same Page

Remember ABC host George Stephanopoulos’s claim last Sunday that House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) was rushing to repudiate Rush Limbaugh himself, along with Limbaugh’s willingness to fight for conservative principles and for American (rather than Obaman) success? Well, it looks like the Democratic National Committee needs to start getting in on the daily strategy calls between Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) and | Read More »

Jesus Obama picks Pontius Pilate to head the DNC

By: Jeff Emanuel (Diary)  |  January 5th at 01:12 PM  | 

“Jesus was a Community Organizer; Pontius Pilate was a Governor.” Such was the catchphrase adopted by many supporters of Barack Obama, the former community organizer (who admitted he has no idea what a “community organizer” even does), in their attempt to prove that he was a more appropriate choice for an entirely different position than the more qualified Gov. Sarah Palin, whose selection by John | Read More »

The DNC’s Denver Obama Facade — a poor attempt at a Greek temple, or a hackish version of the White House?

By: Jeff Emanuel (Diary)  |  August 28th at 02:37 PM  | 

Let’s take a look at a few images to see if we can figure out just what it is the DNC is going for with their pseudo-Classical facade on Obama’s stage tonight. Now, anybody who paid attention for more than five minutes in ancient history class can spot several defects in the facade if the intent was to make an architecturally correct Greek temple.
