On Axelrod calling Carrie Prejean a dog.

Never blog angry.

Well, not quite true: never blog too angry. A little anger can help. Too much, though, and you end up wanting to pound on the wall; this pleases a certain demographic, and you may define ‘pleases’ any way that you like. So, now that I’ve calmed down – some – about Obama crony David Axelrod crassly equating Carrie Prejean with a dog:

When Axelrod was asked if he had weighed in on the Obama family’s dog choice, he answered, “I was only called in for the final three, and one was Miss California.”

…I’ll say this: after an event like the above I’d be embarrassed about me being on the same side of the same-sex marriage debate as Axelrod, except that there’s actually no evidence whatsoever that I am (I already know that I’m well to the left of his boss on this issue). As it is, I’d much prefer to have Carrie Prejean as my spokesperson than the people that have decided to publicly attack her; unlike them, she’s shown no indication that she personally hates her opponents.

I really should stop being surprised at this sort of thing, though. It’s not like it’s going to stop for the next 3.5 years.

    They’ve run out of political arguments, so now they’ve moved on to the “let’s just fling poo” stage of things.

  • Thomas Crown

    If I looked like David Axelrod, I’d make it a point not to compare another human being to a four-legged mammal.

    This may be sexist of me but any man that calls that beautial woman a dog need to go see either his eye doctor or and i cant spell itso i well sub. head doctor but also true that it is typical liberal garbage

  • mbecker908

    that is a high compliment. And, she’s attractive but she’s no Franz.

    The REAL Franz Prince of Dogness, at rest.

    I forgot that his Boss did not come right out and say it but he implied very storngly thagt Sarah Palin was pig and the man may deny that but the crowd sure rected to that like it was a joke

  • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

    Remember all the things Obama and his campaign said about Clinton?

    Remember all the things said about Palin?

    Once could be explained away. Twice was pushing. Three times is a trend.

    How can it be sexist when the subject is physical attractiveness (as raised by Axelrod).

  • extirpates

    He may spend too much time with his nose stuck where there is little daylight. On the other other hand, he may require surgical intervention to break his Cranial Rectal Insertion.

    Very Smug, Very Arrogant, Totally Wrong.

  • TNJim

    I need to quit thinking that. Once again someone in the O-ministration lowers the bar. I’ve been trying to remember if anyone in the Bush administration ever said anything like this about anyone. I haven’t yet, nor do I expect to. Typical lib crap, just sling mud, or poo as Amy said above, at anyone you disagree with.

    If they didn’t have personal attacks to fall back on, they wouldn’t have anything.

  • TNJim
  • JadedByPolitics

    on their knees salvating over a bigger douche than Clinton….irrelevent old bitter bitties…they are through!

    As DOG ugly as Axelrod is to speak of anyone else’s appearance is comical in and of itself….now he might get Gloria Steinham or paid hookers but that is about it!

  • durman

    I’m glad to know that the politics of personal destruction don’t apply anymore, seeing that Obama and his clan are the great uniters and all. However, just in case this was a personal attack, I think it’s time Obama throws Axelrod under the bus. He quite probably deserves it. Wonder if the feminist groups will be protesting him?

    (crickets chirping)

    Nah, didn’t think so.

    Axelrod = idiot of global proportions.

  • Whitehorse

    The sniping at Prejean, Palin, Marsha Blackburn, & basically any attractive conservative woman, imho, is fueled by the sourest of grapes. The men know that they have no chance with such a woman, & because of their self-esteem issues they attack her. The women who do, are simply jealous.

    Shallowness is greatly on display; if she had come out glowingly for SSM, she would be the media darling…

  • Darin_H

    That’s not their last line after they’ve exhausted rational arguing, it’s usually the first and only thing they do. It’s intellectual laziness brought on by the media rarely challenging their side about anything.

  • Darin_H

    As Trump said, she’s got the same position on same sex marriage that our president says he has.

  • E Pluribus Unum

    because

    (1) no dog deserves that, and
    (2) I’d be strongly tempted to take David Axelrod out back every day and beat the living crud out of him.

  • TNJim

    for hanging poor Nancy out to dry by not altering the CIA memos to fit her story. They just haven’t figured out how to keep The One out of it yet.

  • itrytobenice

    I saw one of their spokeswomyn on O’Reilly the other day and she said that they didn’t need to defend Miss CA because she is a grown woman and she can defend herself.

    I didn’t realize that NOW stood for National Organization for Wgirls.

    Somebody snap a leash and collar on me. I want to be one too.

    and this has nothing to do with your comments, but you may want to review the RS:Help – again, nothing to do with you or your post, just that it is often helpful for newbies to the site to review that – if for no other reason than you’ll get the inside comments.

  • Achance

    sh@#head, it’s just the way they are. Axlerod is just projecting, since he’d answer to sh@#head. That’s the kind of woman that “men” like Axlerod don’t even dare dream about, and that’s why they hate them so much.

    Don’t let the wolf-whistles fool you.

    So what I want to know is how do you pronounce the name of B.O.’s new not-a-pound dog?

    “Bo” like Biden’s son?
    “B.O.” like the acronym for body odor?
    “B.O.” short for Barry Obama?

  • larryp

    from this “Ricardo-Cabeza”…

  • $peciallist

    from Office space + Perez Hilton’s greasy complextion with the personality of a Dartboard…

    another great pick, Barry

  • aesthete

    It wasn’t funny, even if viewed from a liberal POV (which is the view that I’m closer to on this issue), and the delivery was terrible.

    And I’m not even going to address the content, if the asinine hatred and disdain expressed in that snippet qualifies for the illustrious title of “content”, except to say that any man who lacks the self-control and discipline to refrain from comparing a woman to a dog like that would be more true to himself and do us guys a favor by not identifying himself as being part of the male gender in any way.

    OK, I guess I just did address the content :)

  • rfpzzzzz

    Carrie ain’t no dog and doesn’t Axlerod look a bit like Hitler?

  • Doc Holliday

    these people are rude, crude, punks. Their hubris is palpable, they WANT us to beat them, they are pleading with us to beat them. Are we man enough to beat them? or are we going to remain in the circular firing position?

    Haven’t ever seen one or heard one mentioned, but maybe he keeps her locked in a kennel somewhere.

  • janis

    and they have one daughter, Lauren, who is an epileptic. Now we need to have Carrie Prejean become a spokeswoman for the American Epilepsy Foundation.

    Let’s see him slam her then.

  • JadedByPolitics

  • http://theminorityreportblog.com David Hinz

    you were into that kinky stuff :-)

  • janis

    Did David Axelrod have any inner twinges about Obama’s oh-so-funny remark about Special Olympics ? Or did he dismiss that because his daughter is epileptic and not mentally challenged? That someone could so cruelly and casually demean and insult a young woman when he has a daughter of his own is breathtakingly, boneheadedly, leftist. And oh so typical of his kind. He’s Nancy Pelosi in male drag.

  • janis

    to be nice. Sometimes she just can’t help herself. And you’d best watch what you say as she has publicly threatened to rip the head off at least two family members and spit down their necks–both males.

    Just a word to the wise.

  • JadedByPolitics

    as WE understand on our side they would just as soon abort those with special needs had Axelrod and his wife know their child had epilepsy they would no doubt have aborted her as well! however unfortunately for them epilepsy is not something that is identified until after the child is born…..it’s a win for the daughter though :-)

  • charliebravoNH

    Perhaps David Axelrod has a “man crush” on Perez Hilton.

  • http://edwardcropper.blogspot.com/ edward_cropper

    check my blog for David’s new appearance.

    her name always puts me in mind of Mae West, “Goodness had nothing to do with it.”

  • janis

    that she won the “I Got GREAT Parents!” sweepstakes. I feel sorry for someone who has been raised in such an atmosphere of moral equivalency.

    Hope she becomes a conservative. They can have Meghan McCain in return and good riddance. How sweet would THAT be!

  • LibRick

    but I think your “flinging poo” statement, while well used and surly satisfying on some level, is not a very compelling argument to your stand that liberals have run out of “political argument.”

  • janis

    make with regard to Carrie Prejean. She’s an American citizen who stated her answer to a question and then got trashed by every lib with an axe to grind. The fact that her stance on it is the same as Obama’s doesn’t seem to cross the mental radar screens of any of those who did the trashing.

    Does this make sense to you?

  • TNJim

    is that she grounded it in her religious beliefs. I’m not sure Obama did that, at least not publicly. And of course there’s the fact that she will continue to campaign against gay “marriage”.

    The far-left just can’t stand that, neither can Axelsnot apparently.

  • janis

    already has a name–Bo. Which, you know, is kind of ironic, since the dog got named after a traditional marriage supporter anyway.

    The Left does not have a sense of irony–or, as Moe has pointed out countless times, it has been beaten to death on more than one occasion by the antics of these people. And yet it resurrects itself almost daily. We need a new word for it.

  • LibRick

    I posted a comment here at Redstate, the day after the Miss USA pageant, that Carrie was to be applauded. Even Jon Stewart on the Daily Show, mocked those that trashed her. So, to characterize liberals as reduced to just “flinging poo” on political debate ” is not accurate.

    In fact, this crude “flinging poo” adage, has been over used in the past few years and I hope and would welcome its retirement on both sides.

  • janis

    ask you to point your ire or frustration in the direction of your own party. Axelrod is not some low-level grunt, nor a Hollywood freak like Perez Hilton. He’s a top adviser to this administration and, as such, what he says is tied to the POTUS. Do you seriously think that if a Republican in Dubya’s administration had made such a crude remark about some young person in the news that they wouldn’t have been hung out to dry by the MSM and the Dems?

    So, you know, if “poo-flinging” fits the crime, then poo-flinging it is. If you wish to change this, then have Obama and Jon Stewart and any other public voice of your party stand up and soundly castigate David Axelrod for his actions.

  • blooch

    I have a Lefty friend whose son is autistic. She blast e-mailed the vilest, Sullivanesque stuff about Sarah Palin during the election season. It’s like Obama and Hillary gettiing a pass by Lefties on SSM, except in reverse; They *know* O and Hillary don’t mean it, just as they *know* that Palin could never be a sincere advocate for any of their causes…even causes in which they have shared experience.

  • Amy Miller

    …I understand the need to boo-hoo things, but really/

    If this isn’t flinging poo, then I don’t know what is.

    What would you have me call it?

  • Amy Miller

    All liberals do not immediately resort to flinging poo.

    However, THIS was nothing but flinging poo.

    Sorry if I vexed your sensibilities with my crude little adage, but I calls ‘em like I sees ‘em.

  • hunter

    For the Obamatons to be this petty and destructive means they are not making good decisions in other areas, as well.
    Sort of like when the Taliban blew up the Buddha statues in Afghanistan, they were at the same time tolerating Al Qaeda to run its 911 plot from their homeland.
    Going after a young woman for such contrived, pernicious reasons means the Obamatons are messing up important things, as we are already seeing.

  • snewb098

    I’m from the “Leave it to Beaver” and “Hazel” generation
    in the 50′s and where this warped idealogy is coming from
    is scary. Might as well turn this country over to the Chinese
    and be done with it. At least they have have morals
    though strictly enforced. I am ashamed to
    be an American after 57 years.
    Wish I could move to Australia!

  • paulkfw

    Axelrod does look like Milton. BHO better not take his stapler, or he might set the White House on fire!!!

  • secondpatriot76

    Axlerod, like most men in the Obama Admin, would not know a beautiful woman if she was right in front of them. I wonder how many straight people work in the White House these days outside the Secret Service.

    To men like Axelrod a woman is only attractive if she has had an abortion.
