I have never heard such whining by the Repugs before...

Remember pre-Iraq? Oh, we don't NEED anyone. We can do everything ourselves. We're the last superpower and FUCK anyone who gets in our way.

And now? "Oh, Mommy! The big bad Europeans aren't letting me play my game! How can I possibly succeed if the mighty French are against me?"

Whiners!

1. Agreed - watch our when the powerful declare themselves Victims

Look at all our new class of "Victims"
Christians
The Wealthy
Talk show hosts who are pain killer junkies
Bush Administration when the truth is told about them

RW'ers used to go after true victims like the poor but they seem to have co-opted the victim game.

2. They play the victim game when it suits them.

Remember the "faith-based" safety net? "Everyone's against Christians!! We gotta give them a fair shake at the trough."

Against the death penalty?:"Remember the victims and the repugs are the only ones who stand up for the victims, so you're picking on us."

Tom DeLay is the most excellent victimologist.

3. They have also co-opted the "politcal correctness" game

(political correctness was a bad idea from the start and now we are paying the price now that non-racist "simple truths" such as Bush is a serial liar are verboten)

Naturally, it is a grotesque and Orwellian sight to see bullies and liars whining that they are the abused and the victims...
