RNC to Rebrand Democrats as "Socialists"

A RNC member tells Roger Simon that when committee members meet in an extraordinary special session next week, they will approve a resolution rebranding Democrats as the "Democrat Socialist Party."

RNC Chairman Michael Steele didn't want the meeting to be held, but members exercised "a rarely used party rule that allows any 16 RNC members from 16 different states to demand a special meeting" forcing Steele's hand.

"A further comeuppance -- a vote of 'no confidence' in Steele -- is not being contemplated, I am informed, because Steele's opponents in the RNC have already won a major victory by forcing him to accept greater controls on how he spends party funds."

1. What a waste of energy

They could use all that energy to actually come up with some constructive ideas and make themselves useful. But no, they'd rather hate and make idiots of themselves.

[myrna minx]

3. Well, they may as well call us the Democrat Socialist Poopyhead Party

because that's the maturity level of this brain trust outfit. :rofl:

[myrna minx]

2. This is almost too embarrassing to watch unfold.

I almost pity the Republiwhigs

[Kerrytravelers]

4. So this is what happens when only 20% of registered voters identify as Republican.

This is what happens when one's ideology is completely irrelevant.

Hilarity ensues.


:rofl:

5. Then we'll have a special session to officially call them Republicant Doo Doo Heads!

Take that! We're rubber, you're glue, it bounces off us and sticks to you! Nya, nya, nya, nya.

I can picture Tim Kaine saying that, can't you?

[gmoney]

10. I prefer "Repulsive Baby Stomper Party"

[Cha]

6. The republicons can only call names..

that's all they have. No plans, no brains, no class.

[pdxmom]

7. If they actually follow through with this, it will be interesting to see if

the Repukes actually try to use this term in media appearances and if they do, whether the media allow them to get away with it.

[Flying Dream Blues]

8. Well, they already get away with calling us the "Democrat party" so I wouldn't

bet against it.

[gmoney]

9. Even Neil Boortz was scoffing at this...

asking, in so many words, "why don't the Republicans have a special session to work up an education bill or a health care program or a fair tax or solutions to the economic problems?"

[Dappleganger]

12. They have no ideas

they've got nothing left but negativity and racism.

[subterranean]

27. ...and cutting taxes for the rich.

[Dappleganger]

11. Are they all going to voluntarily give up

their Medicare as well?

Yeah, right. The party of NO has no balls.

[FrenchieCat]

13. If it was up to DU, Obama and this party would indeed fit the label

of Democratic Socialists....but in reality, they are not even close.

[Dark]

14. I know socialists. Democrats are not socialists.

God. It's like anyone to the left of Strom Thurmond is a commie pinko limpwristed liberal wacko.

It'll be so good when the GOP goes extinct.

[and-justice-for-all]

16. not even close...

its all because we want a national health care system, that's all.

[and-justice-for-all]

15. I already rebranded the RNC Fascist...nt

[Wednesdays]

17. K&R

:kick:

[NYC Liberal]

18. Fine. Then they're the Republic Fascist Party. We can play this game if they want.

[Hatalles]

19. Nice.

:)

[OHDEM]

20. The Gray Ordinary Poopy Party?

The Straight, White, Male, My-God-Is-Better-Than-Your-God Party?

The war-mongering, gets off on torture, chickenhawk party?

[WCGreen]

25. The Grumpy Old Poops party,....

[jgraz]

21. Time for the Dems to consider the "Rubber/Glue" Option.

[Triana]

22. Well I guess we need to hold a session to rebrand them the Republican Hissy Fit Party

That's all they seem to do any more.

[MadMaddie]

23. Nothing else going on in the US or the World folks...

nothing to see her but the dissolving Republic party.....move along now...

[ShadowLiberal]

24. What's even funnier is what they say when asked if Steele has to call democrats that now

I saw an article (I think maybe at politico) where one of those RNC people was asked "so if this resolution passes does that mean that Steele has to call the democrats the 'democrat socialist party'". The answer by an RNC member who intends to vote for this resolution, "who cares". :rofl:

Even they admit that this is just a publicity stunt by saying 'Who cares' to the question of if that means they have to start calling democrats that now.

[Marsala]

26. I think the "Who cares" was more of a diss aimed at Steele

The Republicans have even less respect left for Steele than we do.

[Patsy Stone]

28. I hope they bought infomercial time to air this.

I think everyone should see it.

[Occam Bandage]

29. This is the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans.

Sure, there are plenty of Democrats who like to call Republicans fascist and such, and there are plenty of Democrats who believe any tinfoil they come across about Bush and Cheney. We keep them in safe little pressure-release valves like DU and Kos, while the moderate majority works on keeping up a respectable, approachable, sane-looking face.

In the Republican party, the freepers are actually in control. Their name-calling and Obamaphobic tinfoil are the public face of the party. They've completely lost track of the distinction between the base and the fringe.

[firedupdem]

31. +1 n/t

[CakeGrrl]

30. Please let the talk shows book a few of these doofuses

just so I can hear them actually say it with straight faces.

:rofl:

[bigpenguin]

32. How about

we just start calling them the "the Twenty Percent"?

34. breaking news....

Today, in a stunning display of "post-partisan" magnanimity, Congressional Democrats unanimously voted to create a new subcommittee and allow the GOP to retain chairmanship in perpetuity. The subcommittee is purportedly titled "The Congressional Subcommittee on Irrelevancy and Boneheaded Ideas". The first committee meeting is scheduled to be held next Tuesday, unless the little green imps in Chairwoman Bachmann's head advise otherwise.
