2. Not me! I am a liberal of the Obey stripe! I actually "know" how Congress works!

Lol! :) And I read the supplement first "before" I formed an opinion!

3. I've been saying that since Day 1.

From a March 10 thread I posted:

OK, Obey's an asshole. But you have to understand--

We're all assholes up here in the frozen-tundra part of WI. It just goes with the territory. That's how we ended up here--our ancestors were driven into this Godforsaken part of the world by all the normal people who couldn't stand having us around.

Actually, Obey does have a well-known temper problem--the one major flaw in an extremely intelligent (not to mention clean and articulate) guy. As for "idiot liberals," somehow I know exactly what he meant. There are a lot of people who go around wearing their politics like chips on their shoulders, carrying some totally airheaded, ideologically pure model of the universe around in their pointy little heads, ready to blow up in indignation at anything which seems on its face to run afoul of some part of their model. Debating them, trying to explain things to them, is futile, for they already have their perfect little models, and they're not going to let you mess them up with your grubby, reality-encrusted fingers. It's like trying to convince a Fundy that some random stick of wood dug up in Turkey isn't part of Noah's Ark. So, confronted by people who just couldn't grasp what he was trying to tell them, Dave kinda lost it for a second.

Hey, ya want glib, ya don't keep poking an icehead with a stick.

7. Thanks so much for your comment!

I've been arguing with "idiot liberals" today and yesterday. You just expressed what I was trying to say so much better than I did.

5. And he is indeed a liberal

You can tell by his record. One of the most liberal Congressmen from Wisconsin.

6. Agreed. I actually had the privilege to ask Tina (the one who

posted that YouTube video of Obey) how her tactics could possibly end the war? Why she was going after Democrats who were already with us. According to the lady there with her for the liveblog -- it made her think hard about what she had done.

8. Sorry, but I'm tired of the idiot liberal label from both parties.

To call a military mom that was pretty low. Self control is an admirable trait that should be exercised in his position. And why not call her idiot military mom? Not as politically correct?

[saracat]

10. So you can't be silly and be a "military mom"? It was no lower to call her that than to call

anyone else a "liberal idiot! And he did not call HER a "liberal idiot".He just referred to "liberal idiots' If the shoe fits.....

9. Speaking of Congressman Obey....

Does anyone know how he voted today?
