Ten Stupid Things Said by Liberals in Just Four Days


In honor of a week of liberal insanity, we at Thespis Journal are happy to bring back one of most requested features, Ten Stupid Things Said by Liberals in just four days. Read on, it was quite a week. We should have sub-titled this the Special Jimmy Carter Edition.

1. It was another week of classic Jimmy Carter absurdity. To paraphrase the much beloved liberal icon and late Governor of Texas Ann Richards: “Poor Jimmy. He cain’t help it; He was born with the peanut of idiocy in his mouth.”

The first of his verbal blunders this week slammed both President Bush and British prime Minister Tony Blair. The 81-year-old former President said: “There had once been a very strong voice from London in the shaping of a common policy. I have been really disappointed in the apparent subservience of the British government’s policies related to many of the serious mistakes that have originated in Washington.” Mr. Carter, an opponent of the war in Iraq, continued: “No matter what kind of radical or ill-advised policy was proposed from the White House, it seems to me that almost automatically the Government of Great Britain would adopt the same policy without exerting its influence. This was the case in the Middle East peace process, in the case of the Lebanese/Israeli war in the recent past and certainly in the ill-advised abandonment of the war against terrorism to substitute the war in Iraq.” (Wow, Mr. Carter, you really will say ANYTHING to get your liberal media friends to notice you again.)

2. Mr. Carter used his favorite forum, Larry King Live, as the platform of choice to cloak his treasonous ideas in the perception of objectivity while spewing Bush hatred at every turn. Mr. Carter continues with his idiocy by giving us numbers 2-6 of “ten stupid things” in just this one public appearance.
Well, I don't think there's any doubt that the present altercation with terrorists is a very serious problem that every person of respect in the whole world, including the United States, ought to address. But it certainly ought not to be escalated to a struggle for civilization. (Ok, Mr. Carter, tell this to the families of those who lost someone on September 11.)

3. KING: We're back with President Jimmy Carter. Your reaction to Vice President Cheney's assertion that the criticism of Iraq, the Iraq war, emboldens United States enemies and makes allies doubt American resolve.

CARTER: Well, the vice president unfortunately has been consistently very careless with the truth. He still maintains some preposterous comments and attitudes toward the origins of the Iraqi war, the circumstances in Iraq now and he's had a policy in my opinion of deliberately trying to mislead the American people by making untrue statements and there's no reason to give any credence to his ridiculous claims that you've just described. (Right, Mr. Carter. Repeatedly taking the same side with Al Quada and Al Jazeera does nothing to embolden our enemies.)

4. Jimmy Carter: “We've alienated the almost unanimous support that we had around the world for our policy in fighting terrorism as we shifted out of Afghanistan and let Osama bin Laden go free. All of these emphases have been mistaken. And when any Democrat or any citizen who doesn't have any political orientation says that we've made a mistake it seems that the vice president says "Well you are unpatriotic if you disagree with anything we've done."
(Mr. Carter takes leave of his senses again: he allowed the Iranian government to walk over America for his entire term in office. Does he really think that the President “let Bin Laden go free?” Does Carter still get a daily intelligence briefing? What credentials does Carter bring to the table to criticize, his own failures in office?” Rush Limbaugh put it this way: I'm going to make some of you mad, but I'll bet you back in 1979 when the American hostages were taken from the US embassy in Iran, what did America do? Forget Jimmy Carter. What did we do? Anybody remember? I'll give you a hint: What became the theme song, essentially, on top 40 radio for the Iranian hostage crisis? "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Old Oak Tree!" You don't think the Iranians got a big chuckle out of that? The big, mighty, United States of America tying yellow ribbons around trees and so forth?)

5. In a statement bound to curse Nutty Ned Lamont, Jimmy Carter slams Joe Lieberman. “I'm really sorry that he's running as an Independent and I'm grateful to notice that all the Democrats who are loyal to our party, loyal to our principles are not supporting him and are hoping that he will be defeated. I think Joe Lieberman is a good man. He's been strongly in favor of the Iraqi war from its very beginning. He was one of the originators of the public statements that misled the American people into believing that the Iraqi war was justified.”
(Just a clue to the clueless, Jimmy Carter used to try to fool the American people into believing that he was a moderate. We knew better all the time, and recently he has confirmed his leftist credtenials repetitively.)

6. Carter sides with Hezbollah again: “Well I think Israel should have responded by attacking the southern part of Lebanon and by dealing with the Hezbollah threat if they were going to refuse to make any sort of prisoner exchange to alleviate the tension.
But for them to decide to bomb the entire nation of Lebanon and to declare that the Hezbollah threat across the border that only involved the taking of two soldiers and the killing of a few others I think greatly and unnecessarily escalated the entire conflict and caused tens of thousands of people to suffer unnecessarily.” (Ok, Jimmy, we knew you were always against Israel, but we didn’t know you would take the same position as the terrorists and be stupid enough to get on Larry King and announce it to the world.)

7. A slight shift in perspective from one liberal to another. John Kerry is hinting broadly at another run for the presidency. He says he is ready to kick some (Swift Boat Veteran) ass. Even many of the goons who supported him before think his statement is too little too late.

John O’Neill of the Swift Vets states the following in the face of Mr. Kerry’s latest bloviating: It is a little difficult to imagine Kerry (“I voted for it before I voted against it”) kicking the most decorated living serviceman, Bud Day, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, or our salty commander, Adm. Roy Hoffman, anywhere. Perhaps Kerry had in mind using a “Rice Fanny Grenade” as he did by mistake on himself shortly before leaving Vietnam. If so, based on the record, he is in far more danger than anyone else. Kerry and his friends certainly seem to show much greater anger and hatred toward us than toward the murderous al Qaeda terrorists.


8. Poor George Stephanopoulos; he didn’t get the media talking points. On Monday night after President Bush’s speech George said, “Charlie, the headline is: "The War is Not Over." The president's tone tonight was not political.” On Tuesday morning, Stephanopoulos said, “The fact that the president focused on Iraq was political by its very nature.”
(Thanks George for making an obvious contribution to our list.)

9. Senator Russell Feingold is really clueless. From the Washington Post, September 16, 2006: “Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.) is calling on President Bush to refrain from using the phrase "Islamic fascists," saying it offends Muslims and has nothing to do with America's enemies. In a speech to the Arab American Institute in Washington, Feingold said: "We must avoid using misleading and offensive terms that link Islam with those who subvert this great religion or who distort its teachings to justify terrorist activities." (We should be publishing a weekly list so that there is a regular outlet to humiliate Feingold while using his own words.)

10. No list would be complete without mentioning Rosie O’Donnell’s faux pas of the week on The View.” Loudly and proudly, Rosie compared people of the Christian faith to radical Islamic terrorists. How many weeks until Barbara Walters has to dump Rosie?
