Karma: Democratic Regressives, Trapped In Their Own Irony. How Delightful.

After chuckling while reading the NY Times piece, Sarah Palin Electrifies Party, I surfed The Regressive Party’s posts this morning about Sarah’s speech last night at the Republican Convention. What I saw everywhere was a gaggle of shocked and flustered people who are now officially trapped in their own irony.
Having become the fascist thugs they claimed to despise for 8 years, they are now officially reaping what they have sown throughout the primary season, when Hillary was trashed at every turn, the Race Card was played daily, and the party Far Left Fascists laughed gleefully while leaving us to watch in horror.
Not only did they horrify us, but they returned as often as possible to us to shove hot pokers at us.
Now we are laughing gleefully as the Republicans turn on the fan and slop the Obama camps’ own shit right back in their faces.
This morning, I am *seeing some very similar diaries to the ones we Clinton supporters were writing just a few short months ago…..and all I can think to say is “HOW DOES IT FEEL??!!!”
Here’s a great example of being trapped in your own irony:
one of their own is being attacked and they
are rallying around her.The validity or reality of the reasons for the attack
matters not to these people, they are ideological
driven.
Sound familiar everybody? Is this not exactly how we felt as they refused to allow the con man to be vetted? As they buried information about his affiliations? As they literally skewered Hillary Clinton? Is this not just plain delightful to watch?
Gold. Pure. Gold.
Here’s more:
We knew it was coming. Complete, utter bullshit.
Female Republicans embraced identity politics with gusto today, touting the virtues of presumptive vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and suggesting that any attempts to question her qualifications amounted to blatant sexism.
Nice, convenient, catch-all excuse. If you say anything bad about poor Sarah Palin, it’s sexism, which is most likely a word most Republicans never even considered using until today.
Yup. Trapped in their own irony as their own tricks are played back at them. How “utterly” enjoyable! Pass the popcorn!
My grandmother always said that when you spit up in the air, it’s going to come back down.
Splat!
Karma. It’s what’s for dinner. Please join me in having a very good day!
Oh and one more thing. Barack! Your wife says you only are home on weekends! You are a lousy father! Get your ass home! You boys never could multi-task.
*Yes I have links to the quotes. But I’ll be damned if I send traffic or revenue their way.
***Snicker***
Uppity thanks for posting this. Karmas a bitch isn’t it?
Uppity, awesome post!
What stupid, stupid people.
HILLARY ‘12!!!
HILLARY, ALWAYS!!!
Remember the commercial, “I could have had a V-8?” How about, “We could have had an experienced candidate.”

Problem for Obama — the poll was taken before Palin’s speech.
Problem for Obama — the poll was taken before Palin’s speech.
And after the majority of American had only known her for 5 days.
“Obama Camp Turns to Clinton to Counter Palin”
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/05/us/politics/05dems.html
Wonder how this has got to feel. I wish Bill would pimp slap Obamas silly ass.
I’ve thought of the “I-could-have-had-a-V-Eight” moment! Yeah, we could have had Hillary but instead we have the sorry ass Obama. I’d like to thwack all of the Pod Dems smack on their empty heads.
And by attacking families, because they aren’t perfect yet should be because of their party affiliation, they have lost any moral high ground. They reinforced a stereotype of godless liberals opposed to the American way.
Stop with this God shit!
I don’t believe in God, or messiahs, saviors — secular or non secular — and I’m voting for McCain/Palin. So much for your pathetic Republican stereotyping!
Look NQ got linked on Breitbart again:

This is a white supremacist link.
Is it true Barack Obama is now pressured to ask Biden to step down so Hillary can get the VP spot?
Nothing short of the TOP spot for Hillary will save the Dems.
True. BO is damaged good. To flip-flop on the VP now would not be “good judgment,” would it? On the other hand, I am enjoying how flippant Biden seems in regards to his “boss”. Biden obviously has little to no respect for the upstart. He’s just going through the motion on the off chance he gets to go into the history book as VP.
Wherein Obama flip flops AGAIN - and declares the surge was successful!
LOL
Is there ANYTHING Obama won’t do and say to win?
How can he even face himself in the mirror anymore?
Oh yeah - there’s nothing there.
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/04/obama-surge-succeeded-beyond-wildest-dreams
And funnier still - watch Obamabots applaud his flip flop!
Good Point, obviously Biden told him to say it.
http://tinyurl.com/3buf4
Though Biden was against it before. Meet Flip and Flop.
“Is there ANYTHING Obama won’t do and say to win?”
In a word:
NO!
Did you all notice where Rudy told Biden he should get that VP slot in writing from Obama? lol
OBushMA! You’re right Biden is just going through the motions–he can’t stand the little twerp. Anyone else would not jetison their VP nominee however, Obama would. Obama would jetison anyone to become the President.
Fool that he is he forgot he is running for President not VP and the attacks on a woman didn’t go over well with the public. To say the least–Obama is not very popular today no matter what his mirror tells him. If he thought the right wingers were going to come over to him — he is laughable. Obama has done what no one has been able to do in 100 years he has brought the Dems and Repubs together against him. WTG BO.
Do you want Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, and Donna Brazile to be saved? Thought not. Cleansing is a laborious and time consuming process.
And a noble act as well!
NO WAY, NO HOW, NOBAMA!
Won’t work. If they do that, they still don’t get it. He could pick Jesus Christ and I do not want him to be president.
Ditto…
Throw out the whole ticket and put HRC first then we’re cooking.
That day has passed, not sure when it did but it did.
The attack from within, from obamacrats was too much damage to survive. Talking with many people who are now supporting McCain they not only do not like or trust ob they also bought the Hillary smears and think some of them are true.
The obots not only supported a loser - they destroyed our WINNER in the process.
Just remember Hillary’s “fact hub” on her site and how constantly she was misrepresented to the public.
Only some of that nbo and obot hatred towards her was debunked, sadly, much of those lies stuck.
The DNC is too entrenched in Chicago and the radical left and the demonizing of her now to bring Clinton back. I’m convinced ob didn’t vet her for that reason, his own words about her were too harsh and his own slash and burn treatment of Hillary and her supporters would not allow it.
He couldn’t reach out to us after spitting on us and on both Clinton’s. He rang his own death bell.
Don’t give up on Hillary.
She will clean house and rise again.
I don’t give up on Hillary but even if there is a miracle that will put her on the top spot, how is she going to rally barrybots and the rest of the Dems to win in 2008? I want her to be well rested, refocus for her run in 2012.
What-do you believe the BOTS would vote for McCain?? LOL. They have no one else to turn to. They just have to get over it. Sore losers…Karma is a bitch!
That’s not why he didn’t vet her.
He didn’t because he doesn’t want Hillary anywhere near him. He doesn’t like women!
What about that isn’t clear?
Hillary met with BO at Feinstein’s house soon after she suspended
I suspect he “mentioned” the VP slot…
I suspect HRC told him to kiss her ass, she wasn’t going to prop him up
THAT would be the only reason they never vetted her. She’d already turned him down in no uncertain terms
It seemed to me that while Obama said his campaign was about hope and change, what united his supporters was a mixture of misogyny and hate.
His was a dirty campaign, and the tactics he used against Hillary will not work in the GE because we are all galvanized against it. The Republicans also have his number and have circled their wagons around Palin.
If Hillary had the support of our party, she would be our nominee and we would have a Dem in the White House in the fall.
I will not vote for Obama, his principles are about his ambition and nothing more. He has not stood firm on any issue I care about.
BTW, Obama still has not asked me for my vote because he is a coward. He knows the answer… wants me to get over it because he “won”… but he will not ever say what I need to hear to even consider him.
No way - Hillary kept winning big till the end of the Primary Season! I just talked to a Republican, a Democrat and economic Libertarian at a cook-out and they agreed with me about Hillary and Obama. No one believes the Obama followers.
Excuse me Karen, but you are mistaken. Late in the primary, she was ahead of Obama in the polls, if you believe them,, but definitely ahead in electoral college votes. If Obama tanks in the polls, the money will dry up. If he loses this election, he will have no coattails and he will be done. That is when the DNC leadership changes and it will go back to those who lay this disaster at the feet of Pelosi, Dean, Reid, Brazil and the others. If you plan a coup, you had better win because you don’t get a second chance. It’s always about who can bring in the most money. That’s why someone like Pelosi was elected speaker.
If you plan a coup, you had better win because you don’t get a second chance.
- I love your posts!
I plan on making sure that they don’t win. I can’t wait until the party snatchers are kicked out.
Karen for Clinton — I agree with you its too late to save the Democratic Party with Hillary or anyone else. They need to learn the hard way that they have destroyed their best chance to control all 3 branches of government when they tried to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
And the time to do that was the convention. What kind of convention has a rock show instead of a roll call?
Very good point!
Sad that the Dem Party was so afraid that their “nomination fix” for Obama wouldn’t hold that the usual procedural roll call vote was cancelled.
give em enough rope they always hang themselves…
That fiasco in the stadium is coming back to bite 0bama in the butt.
Last night was so authentic and the way Conventions are supposed to be.
The idea of no roll call and him in a stadium with all those people was just an ego trip on his part. And all he succeeded in accomplishing was people’s derision.
The effect of him making that speech made him inaccessible, remote, attempting to be God-like.
Sarah on the other hand was in a crowd of fellow Party members, cheering for her. She was accessible, genuine, charismatic, REAL.
And it was not because she’s white and 0bama’s black. I’m AA and 0bama is remote, and icy to me. He reminds me of the men I used to have wait on.
If I had my choice right now, I’d rather have a night out with Sarah than with 0bama.
That’s the way it is.
He’s not connecting. And there’s nothing the DNC can do about it.
McCain has played it smart. He paid attention the Democratic Primary and he’s filling the void that Hillary left. And not just among women.
Soon the kids supporting him won’t be motivated anymore. And then he’s in big trouble.
Wait until you see the difference with McCain tonight!
They are changing the platform stup and getting rid of the gigantic screen…putting him in the MIDDLE with other delegates (OHIO, btw) behind him.
WOW! Talk about being “among the people”!
This is something that would be anathema to Obama…but to McCain he feels right at home.
WHAT a difference and what a way to drive the point home.
They nominated John McCain last night, and went state by state with Arizona passing until they could officially nominate him. I watched a few minutes ago as Sarah Palin officially received the VP nomination. The Alaska delegates made a short speech and requested she receive the nomination by acclimation. The crowd cheered, the decision was unanimous and when it was final, they played Barracuda by Heart. I cried as I watched it.
What type of convention wastes up to 6 million for a god damn speech that no one even remembers what was said!
Hope Floats — What kind of a party puts in an inexperienced A hole over a woman with 35 years of experience?
Wow, maybe Joe should have really gotten it in writing. LOL
Love this comment. Just hours ago the leftie chatterers were taking bets on when exactly Palin would step down.
Drip …drip…drip….. eh, Huffingon? Watch Arianna flip flop on Palin faster than Obama, only because she has more practice.
Idiot. Intrade started the market. Conservatives usually love prediction markets, but now it is some conspiracy by Obama.
should no quarter start a ‘when will obama dump biden’ watch as other blogs did about sara palin?
Absolutely. Also a When Will the Obamas Flee To Kenya blog and a when will Palin oust the Daley Political Machine blog and finally when will Donna Brazile Morph Into a Fanged Gorilla with University Tenure blog.
Saboteur.
Yer killin’ me, geraldo
He won’t dump biden. Shades of McGovern when he dumped Eagleton. Although he’s repeated every other mistake, including having a following of radicals, nutcases, demonstrators and stupid children intimidating the people into running to the polls to get rid of him.
Biden will drop out for health reasons. I have said from the beginning that Biden wouldn’t be on the ticket in November.
Obama will NOT choose Hillary.
Biden also has the problem of his son. The Attorney General of Delaware, who had Larry Sinclair arrested on trumped charges. Now his Daddy is VP! Surprise. BTW-those charges have been dropped. Now I have learned that LS is sueing big-time, Delaware arresting DC agencies, Biden jr…false arrest and imprisonment. Where is that popcorn??
Obama should ask Biden to resign then take the position of VP then ask Hillary to run as President.
That is the ideal scenario.
politicsisdirty — Obama seems to be more comfortable running for VP and Biden did say he was running for President. That might have been the liquor talking but then again………
I hope and believe that her small-government, stay out of our lives ideas, along with her real-world multitasking, SELF-made woman and mother identity, will strike a chord with more than a few women out there. She both inspires and intimidates me, like a lot of badass women do.
Badass women are the best. They are my equal and keep me honest (even if I don’t like it sometimes).
Never forget Tina Fey on SNL crowing “bitch is the new black.” Yo!
ROFL and she meant it, too.
She sure did!
Palin is obviously Tina’s long-lost (some would add evil) twin.
I’d just call her witty and quite at ease with herself. Those “some” to whom you referred are anal retentive control freaks.
Palin reminds me of the actress Nia Vardallos in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
Paraphrase of Lennon/Ono.
Like someone already said, “Karma is a hockey-mom”…
And I loved when she told the joke about hockey mom’s–the way to tell the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick!
Palin Power!
Someone here last night posted this:
Hocked mom’s rule community organizers drool ….
beebop great one
someone posted on one of the threads last night:
Hockey moms rule … community organizers drool ….
LMAO. Most excellent post.
How “utterly” enjoyable! Pass the popcorn!
D-E-L-I-S-H.
What comes around goes around, Love it!
timepassages — when the Democrats nominated a clown how could they not expect a circus.
I see Barky is spending most of his time comparing his experience to hers. Too bad he’s running for PRESIDENT and she’s running for VICE PRESIDENT. THis is becoming more fun every day.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yep; he knows he can’t take on mccain, but he figures he’s man enough to beat up the girl. no wonder michelle’s so sullen all the time.
As I’ve said before, misogyny and sexism is Obama’s default mode and his Achilles Heel. McCain knew it and threw Obama the bait with the Palin pick. And Obambi, his Pods, and their media surrogates fell into the trap! How delicious!
I’ve been waiting patiently for the good times to roll. I didn’t watch the Democratic dog and pony show. But I watched Sarah last night and I have to tell you, zing went the strings of my heart. The idea that she was besting this bullshit candidate made my day. I’ve been so heartsick about Hillary and this just helped so much. Of course, I am still heartsick that Hillary is not in it. But in the meantime, I can’t wait to see 0bama get his ass handed to him.
she said what Hillary couldn’t say, it was all satisfying.
I’ve been waiting as well Mimi.
Most of us have been saying over and over that this day would come, and to see it unfold right before our very eyes is amazing.
I want a bumper sticker with a red x on Obama’s face, and next to it are the words:
“Told You So”
Yeah, he compared his running his campaign for the last 18 months to her being a mayor and a governor. What a comparison, since he really doesn’t run his campaign, his campaign managers do. All 300 of them.
McCain/Palin ‘08
Now that’s real change and hope
I’m so looking forward to the debates! Although I’m kinda feelin’ like Biden’s gonna join the “small town” under Barky’s proverbial bus.
Two words. Rick Lasio. Ask him how a man can destroy his own candidacy by bullying a woman during a debate. Never heard of him? Well, he’s the guy who went down in flames in NY when he ran against Hillary Clinton. He left his podium and walked right up to her face. It was over for him that day. A most embarrassing bashing at the polls. The little twit.
Looks like the Obama camp is getting a little of their own “card” playing.
you can always tell a punk when they try to physically intimidate somebody half their size. don’t suppose ricky would have done that if hillary was twice *his* size, instead of the other way around.
Palin will lob a moose head at Biden if he misbehaves.
ob got caught dealing jokers from the bottom of the deck and Mac had an ace and a queen up his sleeve.
21, blackjack.
Nice gambling metaphor.
That’d make a great illustration. Hmm….
Uppity - One of my favorite political moments ever came when Hillary ran for Senate for the first time. She debated Lazy-Oh in Buffalo. Eash candidate stood behind a podium. During the debate, Lasio walked away from his podium and invaded Hillary’s personal space. He thrust some papers in her face.
Dong! Game over I thought. He lost the women’s vote right then and there. It was like watching Ricky Ricardo confronting Lucy with her dress shop bills. Lazio looked ridiculous.
One of the ten best debate moments.
Biden won’t be able to stop his mouth or even recognize what’s offensive. I heard Obama said something in a press conference today about Palin “playing with the boys”. Seems like he can’t stop his mouth either. I hope the Republicans will challenge him on every sexist word coming out of his mouth.
Wow! Did he really say that? That is sexist.
Just like if someone had said BO was “playing with the white people”, that would be racist.
That’s how I see it anyway.
“Ask him how a man can destroy his own candidacy by bullying a woman during a debate.”
Uppity, you saw a different debate than I did. I saw Hillary bullying Lazio. She fed him head first into the cheese grater. That was the worst asswhipping in a debate I’ve ever seen. Lazio said some b.s. and Hillary burst out laughing. So Lazio snaps and charges Hillary like he’s gonna hit her. And she stepped away from the podium and squared off to stand him up, like “I hope your dental records are on file ’cause that’ll be the only thing left if you lay a hand on me.” And from that moment on, I was devout.
The thing is, Giuliani ducked Hil and put that fool Lazio up against her to get wiped out.
I tried to find the vid on youtube but it’s not there. …I remember the Lazio incident. I was around 20 back then, I didn’t follow politics as much and didn’t get to see it on tv.
lol @ Hillary laughing at him.
If anyone has this footage, I would love to see it.
Sober up, peeps. Karma always comes full circle. Lower your profile, contain your glee. Be gracious in victory as karma always serves up defeat as dessert.
It is tough to resist. They couldn’t leave her or her family alone. They had to go for the fire this time. What they accomplished was generating a huge audience for her and sympathetic listeners. After that, she took over. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer group of goons and thugs.
And cause and effect (Karma) can be good, as well. Our responses are part of their Karma, as it should be. There should be two more negative occurrences happening any day to the Oblahblah campaign, not that I’m hoping or anything like that.
You mean you don’t want Barky to burn in hell?
Nah, he’d just foul up the place and talk Lucifer into a coma.
And don’t give them any pointers.
It all goes back to judgment, which Oblahblah said he had
in spadesa lot of. Guess that judgment must have taken the campaign off. That they didn’t see Palin as a potential candidate is no one’s fault but their own. That they took for granted (I’m being charitable here) half the population is also no one’s fault but their own.It’s both cause and effect and piss poor planning.
