As you probably know, Rep. Cohen responded to the President’s call for civility by calling the Republican party a bunch of Nazis. Because that’s what he does; and I don’t really expect bigots like him to change. Cohen is precisely the sort of person who can’t feel big until he’s made everybody around him small; and since people like that rarely have the ability to change things in any real capacity, Steve Cohen will be a bitter, spiteful man until the day he dies.
But I do have a request for TN-0[9] Democrats: can you please find a primary challenger for him that isn’t a racist himself or herself, this time around? Your last two primaries have been the political equivalent of the Iran-Iraq war: the most moral option in both was to root for injuries.

PS What you said about Max Schmeling was a lie, Representative Cohen. He was never a Nazi and he personally rescued two Jewish children during Kristallnacht.
Sorry: I don’t know why that set me off and other, more immediately obnoxious comments don’t. Probably because Schmeling was what my dad called a stand-up guy when it came to helping Joe Louis out.
PPS: He clearly made me so angry that I got the district wrong. TN-09, not TN-08.

You can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all the time and liberal voters every time.

edwyrd (Diary) Thursday, January 20th at 3:07PM EDT (link)there is a great saying about generals and wars. it is said that generals spend the first half of any war fighting the last war. it is a new era in american politics. there is no news monopoly anymore. anyone so inclined can easily catch a a fool being a fool. and the dems have done nothing short of frolicking naked in church, at the store, in the streets, just dancing about, having left their garments at home. we see it, they know it, but they think we don’t. they still are fighting the 2008 election ( they seem to have total amnesia about just last november?!}. and so they go about their dinosaur politics, soon to be dinosaurs themselves.
the new era? a one in which all the old political tricks of the left, the alinsky tricks are ineffective and actually detrimental to their cause, specifically the getting reelected type of cause. here is to them not comming to their senses anytime before november 2012
“but men are different, they propound mathmatical theorms in beleaguered cities, conduct metaphysical arguments in condemned cells, make jokes on scaffolds, discuss the last new poem while advancing to the walls of quebec and comb their hair at thermopylae. it is our nature!

Maybe Mr. Cohen

He is the new Alan Grayson.

Wikipedia's description of Cohen is telling.
Melody Warbington (rwm52) (Diary) Thursday, January 20th at 4:02PM EDT (link)Just wanted to see if Cohen was a transplant to TN, so I read his bio on Wikipedia. Below is a cut and paste. Note the last sentence of the first paragraph.
“Stephen Ira Cohen (born May 24, 1949) is the U.S. Representative for Tennessee’s 9th congressional district, serving since 2007. He is a member of the Democratic Party. He previously served as a money changer and shoemaker for 24 years.
Tennessee’s 9th district includes almost three-fourths of Memphis. Cohen is Tennessee’s first Jewish congressman. Cohen is the only non-black to Jew over a black majority district in Congress and gain election into office.[1]“
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things. (John 4:25)
Yipe! Somebody should report that...

Second paragraph has already been changed
Finrod (Diary) Thursday, January 20th at 4:53PM EDT (link)Now it looks like:
Tennessee’s 9th district includes almost three-fourths of Memphis. Cohen is Tennessee’s first Jewish congressman.
Wonder how long the last sentence of that paragraph was up? I’m too lazy to grub through wiki history to check.
PETA and the ASPCA are pure evil. See here and here.
I laughed pretty hard at that one, too.
Melody Warbington (rwm52) (Diary) Friday, January 21st at 1:36PM EDT (link)It’s been changed now, but we’ll always have it on Redstate.

Those who had once simpered: “I don’t want to destroy the rich, I only want to seize a little of their surplus to help the poor, just a little, they’ll never miss it!” – then, later, had snapped: “The tycoons can stand being squeezed; they’ve amassed enough to last them for three generations” – then, later, had yelled: “Why should the people suffer while businessmen have reserves to last a year?” – now were screaming: “Why should we starve while some people have reserves to last a week?” – Atlas Shrugged
