they were looking for.
They could not have taken down ACORN if Democrats had not allowed them to do it. That was when I truly wondered whose side the party I thought was on our side, was on.
Only 75 Democrats voted against defunding ACORN. They all should have been censured later since the bill was judged to have been a Bill of Attainder, meaning it was illegal to even vote on it.
But, do not expect Democrats to vote to fund NPR.
When they went after ACORN, few people, even among ordinary democrats, stood up for them.
When they went after Van Jones, Obama let him go.
When they went after Shirley Sherrod, she was immediately tossed under the bus and if she had not stood up for herself, she too would have had her life ruined.
I don't get it, but the leaders of this party we belong are so scared these cowardly little twirps that as soon as they attack, no matter how illegal it is, Dems jump through hoops trying please them.
So, we are on our own, that is clear.
There has been no fight, only capitulation and compromise and bi-partisanship which in reality is 'doing it their way so they don't call us names'.
Let them defund NPR, in fact NPR if they weren't of same cravenly fearful mentality, would scare the shit out of those trying to stop them by REFUSING funding and promising to now do some real investigative reporting since they no longer can be controlled by the government pittance they receive.
And they should start with a real, thorough investigation into the background behind these thugs. Something the MSM will not do.
I am so sick of belonging to a party that acts like scared five-year-olds every time the rightwing sends out its thugs no matter how lame the 'stunt'. It's cringe inducing to hear NPR claim state how 'appalled' they are by someone speaking the truth.
Take a lesson from the right. What would they do in a similar situation? They would not be apologizing that's for sure, they run with the story, make the issue about the Teaparty's racism and congratulate the guy who told the truth.
Sickening how weak the left is.
