Who is Joe Walsh? Another TOAD calling the President a liar

[Hutzpa]

What is it with Republicans and the gross disrespect being shown by some of their minions
to this president of the United States of America.

Just saw a clip where this toad was calling Obama a liar, checked and he has it on his website,
(will not link to his site as I do not want to send traffic over there)

Has anyone seen anything like this?

1. He's the yahoo who yelled "You lie!" during the SOTU. EDITED

Sorry, I was mistaken. That was yahoo Joe Wilson.

[Hutzpa]

7. There must be something wrong with Joe Republicans

remember Joe the plumber, Joe 'you lie' Wilson and now Joe 'you lie Mr President Obama' Walsh.
:puke:
What is it with these Joe names on the right side.

Sorry Joe V.P you seem to be the only alternative that is not losing their mind over Obama.

2. Honestly, Sir: Are You Suggesting a White Man Should Show Respect To Some Negro?

[Ian David]

12. ROFL! n/t

[coffeenap]

13. Exactly. He is my representative.

I have seen the people he hangs out with. One has a giant sticker on the back of his pickup that shows the twin towers on fire and says, "Everything I need to know about Islam I learned on 9-11."

The company he keeps....

4. He showed gross disrespect? He didn't describe Obama as "fucking retarded", did he?

THAT would be what I call showing gross disrespect - especially when directed at your own supporters and members of your own political party.

So, in answer to your question, yes, I have seen gross disrespect shown - by Rahm Emanuel to progressive Democrats.

[NYCGirl]

6. And Emanuel didn't call YOU "fucking retarded," either.

He called a dumbass idea "fucking retarded."

[Divernan]

8. And which idea would that be? Got a link to back up your statement?

And once you provide it, I think it can be shown that Rahm said something along the lines of "anyone who thinks like that is fucking retarded", or "It's fucking retarded to think like that." Which is close enough to calling the person who proposes a particular belief or thought, fucking retarded. And you proceed along exactly the same path by calling an idea proposed by progressives to be "dumbass".

You have such negative feelings toward progressives, that even on DU, you couldn't state that Rahm was disagreeing with a policy point of view. You had to throw in the label "dumbass".

Here's what I found: White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel earned a trip to the pillory this week after a Wall Street Journal story reported that he had used forbidden language last summer in a strategy session with liberal groups and White House aides. Emanuel, who knows his way around obscene, venomous, and cruel language called one idea presented at the session "Fucking retarded."

Have a nice day, dear!

[NYCGirl]

16. I said an idea was dumbass, not a person or a movement.

And if you can't tell the difference, you really need to read a bit closer.

18. Outrage Overkill

This is so old, and he wasn't talking about Sarah Palin's baby, or any real person.
If progressives got their feelings hurt over this, I'm going to quit saying I'm progressive.

[AtomicKitten]

24. You are distorting facts to fuel your victim mentality grudge-holding.

Clearly the fact that Rahm Emanuel wasn't talking about you or anybody else (he was talking about the expenditure of money in a primary challenge) makes little difference to you, so I won't bother explaining it to you. Rage on with the fire of a thousand suns.

[jaxx]

15. Carry grudges for made up stuff much?

[Whisp]

17. bucket of bullshit

but you like carrying it so much, you just go ahead and have a good time.

[Arkana]

21. Rahm didn't call you "fucking retarded".

He didn't call anyone "fucking retarded".

He called a strategy that MoveOn was planning to employ during the HCR debate "fucking retarded". Whether you agree with him or not, you have to completely ignore the context of the quote to get "Rahm Emanuel thinks all liberals are retards!" from "This plan you've devised is fucking retarded".

Geez, what happened to being the party of critical thinking and context? Oh, right--it went out the window in the interest of "my guy didn't win so I have to pick on the guy who did".

11. He is one of Those Tea Party Whackos. but the MORE WHACKY

[coffeenap]

19. His district has been redesigned.

He cannot run in the new one since he no longer lives in it. Part of his current one will go to Tammy Duckworth if we work hard enough.

[tritsofme]

23. He won by 500 votes and his district doesn't exist anymore.

He will not be a problem for very long.

[vaberella]

26. Seriously? Thank God. n/t

[Hutzpa]

27. 500 votes difference win with no district

and he thinks he has earned the right to call the president a liar.

Just as Magistrate so eloquently puts it, why show respect to a negro.
