Dana Milbank Doesn't Really Know Freedom, Or Pretty

As with too many DC establishment pundits, Dana Milbank may only know pretty, as in pretty boy in an empty suit. However, it's clear he appreciates nothing of the beauty that is freedom in America's political discourse.

I imagine the Left burning Bush in effigy, calling him Hitler in signs at protests and making movies with presidential assassination plots doesn't offend Milbank's seemingly selective aesthetic sensibilities too much. However, if some incredibly small number of fringe people the overwhelming number of serious conservatives and Republicans don't much like either attend an open rally and speak their twisted minds, ... well, we can't have that, now can we?

Now, objecting to the health-care bill is one thing. But doesn't it send the wrong message for House Republicans to hold an event on the Capitol grounds full of hateful and gruesome words and images?

"I'm not worried about the message of freedom," Hensarling replied, before joining his colleagues on the podium to the beat of the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again."

I was at this event, walked it from back to front and side to side. I looked at the signs, I heard the calls. Honestly, I personally didn't see anything that was over the line. The difference I suspect is, unlike Milbank and some others, I didn't go there only to go looking for them.

What a worthless and totally disingenuous hit job on the wonderful act of democracythat took place on the lawn of the Capitol yesterday. Milbank's twisted account driven by his own bias is worthy of nothing but dismissal.

Don't allow them to intimidate you, America. We needn't rely on the usual liberal media hacks to talk to other citizens today with the advent of New Media. And we certainly don't require their permission, or approval of how any freedom loving American expresses his or herself, misguided, pretty, or not.

Republicans embracing that fundamental principle is a far more pretty site than pretty boy Dana Milbank after some TV make-up artist gets done powdering him and combing his hair. And the former, not the latter is in accordance with the freedom loving America we all know and treasure.

This is going to be a hard meme to squash. Hell, I had a YR member telling me how upset he was about all the swastikas and Hitlerbama signs he saw driving past the 9/12 rally at the Wilshire Federal building. I had to pull out my laptop and show him the video I took of the entire rally to prove there weren't any...

Doesn't this fall under Beck's Arguing with Idiots?
Wonder how these smarmy ba###### would have acted or reacted during that little tea party they had in Boston so many years ago? Would they have looked down their noses at the audacity of people actually protesting the taxes without representation that was going on?
If you think about it, we're close to going thru the same thing now. Except, of course, it will be our grandkids and great grandkids paying for the things the marxist members of Congress are dreaming up. I've got a total of ten. Maybe they'll be able to get a good paying gubment job.

I think Dana Milbank lives in the 57th State whose President is Barack Obama.

The 57th State is outer space and no where near the United States of America.

People comparing health care reform to the holocaust isn't even a little bit extreme to you.

C'mon open your eyes man!

"People comparing health care reform to the holocaust isn't even a little bit extreme to you."

Contrasting that with people comparing Bush to Hitler, no. Contrasting that with people claiming we had "lost our liberties" after 9/11, no. Contrasting that with the decades of hearing anyone who wasn't 100% government direction of our lives called a "fascist", no.

Contrasted with all that, I call that comparison "sauce for the goose".

I completely agree with Owl.

Please, join me and Owl in denouncing the disgusting extremist Democrats like Alan Grayson!

Come on, give Dana a break. He's still in denial, and barking moonbat indignant over Tuesday's election ass kicking he got. So he's a little grumpier than usual. Forget the tone. He's content consistent -
as Hard Left as evah.
