Who IS this guy? He has been under the radar, yes? Well, anyway, I think I love him.

Listening to him speak, I'm reminded of one of my hero's, Senator Paul Wellstone.

Things like this are all I have that bring me true joy these dark days.

Bwahahahaha! Take that you damn do nothing publicans!!!

:bounce:

Maybe we can help "Republic" party catch on. (The bus out of town.)

I think we've got our 2008 keynote speaker!

And I hereby move that the OFFICIAL DU term for the MINORITY party be "The Republic Party".

All those in favor?

I'm with you.

I didn't think Republic party would work, but now that I've seen it in action...wow.

I can't hear you!

AYE AYE CAPTAIN!

who lives in pineapple under the sea...

Ok, I've watched Spongebob too many times. But I agree! May they forever more be known as The Republic Party.

I don't think Carter can be compared to Ann Coulter, as Weiner wrote:

"People write crazy things all the time. When Ann Coulter attacks the widows of 9/11 victims or a moviemaker fantasizes about assassinating President Bush, we are tempted to simply lament the bottom feeders and continue on our way."

Nor do I think Jimmy Carter is anti-semitic:

"But Jimmy Carter is more than guilty of overstatement and being plain wrong. He is guilty of anti-Semitism."

I haven't read Carter's book. But I saw a segment on Democracy Now today that had two secular Jews from England wondering why in Israel, there is a hearty debate about the Palestinian/Israel issue, yet in England and the United States Jews line up behind each other like sheep to accuse anyone who believes that Palestinians have a right to exist as anti-semitic.

The article I quoted from:

http://www.jewishpress.com/page.do/20544/Jimmy_Carter_-_Polemist-In-Chief.html

I don't know him, but if he is Jewish, which, I believe he probably is, he is more able to judge anti-Semitism than I am. I do not believe Jimmy Carter in any way meant to SOUND LIKE ONE, I'm from Georgia, after all, I adore Carter. I agree with the premise of your link BUT I AM NOT JEWISH, so, I have no opinion in this matter that will make me NOT SOUND LIKE ONE. A slippery slope, my friend. I don't care if you have a "problem with this guy", I like what he is saying IN THIS CLIP. Leave it at that, please. Can't we just have a nice "hurrah" moment?

Always Onward!

And yes, we can have a "hurrah" moment. I don't care if you don't care if I have a problem with the guy. He is a politician who represents the public. I think people should know how he stands on the issues. And I am not your friend, just a fellow Democrat.

So be it. I'm just curious, were you this critical of the Iraq War? Do you criticize others as harshly as an amiable EX- pres? Who, btw, I think, meant nothing harsh in his assessment of a complicated affair between sovereign counties who can fend for themselves. Or can they?

I'm pretty sure it's the Palestinians and their good buddies (they have some, right?) who don't believe ISRAEL has the right to exist. Now, suddenly, it's Israelis denying that Palestinians have the right to exist?

That would make the sentiment pretty even on both sides, wouldn't you suppose? But, no, you don't. And guess, just guess, what I would call that.

Ah, they always crawl out after midnight.

then I guess you're crawling, too...

republic party.

IMO, the farther away from Israel people are, the less likely it is that they are well informed about the realities of the Palestine/Israeli conflict.

I trust the people on the ground in Israel to make their own decisions.

Carter has spent much time there, but I surely do not consider him more informed than people on the ground in Israel. I do however, consider him more informed than myself and appreciate the opportunity to learn from his experience, whether some see him as guilty of anti-semitism or not.

now on. Thanks a million for posting this. It brought a huge smile to my face. And, yes, I love this guy, too!

"The Republic Party....The Republic Party.....The Republic Party....The Republic Party...."
:rofl:
Bwaaaaaaaahahahahaha!!!!

It feels good, doesn't it?

That was the greatest, funniest and most impressive display by any congressman I have seen in ages.
It was like watching a member of Parliament.

:applause:

Some people have the Superbowl. I have guys like this who nail the truth and speak it loudly. It's a touchdown!

Brilliant turning it into a fight between the Republic party (10 times, he said that) and the White House. :loveya:

"They didn't even send their A team." :rofl:

Thanks, dammitann for introducing us to a tough politician. He looks like a real scrapper--just what we need. K&R!:kick: :kick: :kick:

Thanks to my friends at YouTube, we have quite a little groundswell happening there.
:yourock:

He's all I ever wanted in a politician. :headbang:

Hey that's my congressman - yo Brooklyn in the House. That was a beautiful thing to watch - Go Tony!

Shout out Brooklyn!

up and down in my kitchen! It was wonderful and thanks for posting it. Great to see it again!

bravo young man

That's one of the best political bitch-slaps in recent memory! While I strive to emphasize compassion and civility now that we have the upper hand, it is nice to get some of those "Oh my god we lost?" Kerry/Edwards-day-after heebie-jeebies out, let off some minority steam.

We may be smarter, more loyal to our nation and to the principles of reason and public discourse on which it was founded, less prone to blindly accept authoritarian rule, less influenced by hokey superstitions and fear, but we are human after all, right?

Bahahaha in your face!

Every time I hear them labeled "Republics" it brings to mind the Benjamin Franklin story:



So, I think it's just a matter of time before the hyena-like Republicans start twisting Benjamin Franklin's words to anoint themselves as the representative party of the republic, if Democrats start widely referring to them as "the Republics."

Anthony Weiner!

thank you! KnR

Each and everyone of my fellow Democrats, here's to ya'll!
:woohoo::toast:

:rofl:

Rah Rah Rah.. I love this guy. Thanks for the posting

:thumbsup:

catch the "Republic" dig.

:rofl: He has it
Anybody that argues this doesn't have a grasp aof the absurdity of it

em

Did you ever see anyone else do that? Maybe Barney Frank...

That was priceless!

as does my mini at your wonderful avatar! Steve Jobs is changing our world and I am along for the ride, thank Hercules, or, you know, whoever....

Glad to be doing SOMETHING. I feel it's too little, but it's all I have.

i think we should all give him a call and let him know how we feel about him exposing and crushing the pathetic republiks.
