Are Democrats the winged monkeys on the Wizard of Oz?
Edited on Mon Oct-03-05 09:52 AM by Mr_Spock
The Winged Monkeys

The Winged Monkeys are a race of chimera that basically are simians with feathered wings. They are not limited to chimps. There are even winged gorillas and the current ruler of the Winged Monkeys is an orangutan. Originally, the Winged Monkeys were a happy peace loving prankster race. One day, they pulled one prank too many and angered a powerful sorcerer. It was this sorcerer that cursed the Winged Monkeys by creating the magic Monkey Cap, a treasure that allowed the wearer to control the monkey's thoughts and actions. From that point on, as the cap was passed from sorcerer to sorcerer, the monkeys were passed from master to master, unable to even think of rebellion.

It's my competing theory to those that try to characterize all Dems into one neat little "talking point". Whadda ya think?


:D

Ooohhhh weeee loath the Ooooold one! Yeah, I'd say we fit the profile. In hindsight, those winged monkeys were pretty cool.

2. I like to think of Ann Coulter, Hannity, and Rush as Rove's winged monkeys

flying out on the airwaves to do their master's bidding. Watch them swarm out to attack w the latest talking point.

not original to me -- a DU'er made the comparison one day and I found it really apt.

Someday we'll look back on this time and wonder how we allowed the country to be kidnapped by a bunch of zombified ideologues. Oh, well...

4. Flying Monkey attacks
is a FReeper slang term for infesting another forum in a semi organized way to disrupt and harass it. So of course this description fits them to a 'T'.
