South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham lashed out against Obama

[Earth Bound Misfit]

for the president's biting attack on Republicans late Thursday to drum up support for the bill.

"But that speech last night--I'm sure you're not, but if you are listening, think twice about doing that again," Graham warned.

"I hope it is okay for you to believe that I'm somewhat concerned about the process here and how we wound up spending $1.1 trillion," Graham said.

"Please don't say that this is change I can believe. And please don't underestimate how the public is pulling for you but they don't like this bill"

"think twice about doing that again," Graham warned.:scared: :scared:

This should be intersting.:popcorn:

1. Another hissyfit from Gomer

[TwilightGardener]

2. Who the fuck does he think he's talking to? When did Democratic Senators

ever threaten Chimpy this way? The recent lack of respect for the new President by elected officials is becoming worrisome to me.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

8. This is the response I expect from the President

Then he'll proceed to tear Graham a new one.

And never break a sweat.

[izquierdista]

15. As I recall

Jesse Helms threatened Clinton in ways that would get normal people a visit from the FBI. This is just standard operating procedure for Republicans: when the President is a Republican he gets an ass-lickin'; when it's a Democrat he get an ass-kickin'.

[saltpoint]

3. It is so odd to watch Lindsey Graham grandstanding for the

Far Right.

I've come to expect that he doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

But the grandstanding is especially repellent and bizarre.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

12. Yes, WTF did this mean....

"And please don't underestimate how the public is pulling for you but they don't like this bill"

Did they accidentally pull an old Palin quote (sans ALSO) and attribute it to Graham?

[saltpoint]

14. Agree -- that part of Graham's "warning" doesn't make any sense.

The public knows things have been trainwrecked by Bush and the corporations. They know that some kind of Congressional cooperation is required to pass some sort of stimulus package that has a hopefully high degree of positive impact on jobs and housing.

They likely feel that Pres. Obama is the one taking the lead and that lunkhead ideologues like Graham are the ones slowing things down, blocking the path, etc.

Lindsey Graham is gambling here that there's enough of a Republican base to put him in a good light as a goalie to "liberal spending."

I think he's going to lose this bet.

19. Interesting "goalie" analogy

Here's what I see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc47y45R7gU&feature=related

Also, as a casino employee I can assure you of this, "The House" ALWAYS wins.

[spanone]

lindsey, you must have been a pathetic jag lawyer, with you whiney-assed ways

[Are_grits_groceries]

4. It is really sad to think that

he is the least conservative of my state's senators. Jim DeMint makes Graham look like a flaming liberal.

[tularetom]

16. He may be the least conservative but it's hard to believe he isn't the most repulsive

With his screechy whiny tone and his exaggerated almost Gomer Pyle accent the sound of his voice is like fingernails on a chalk board to me. When I see his chubby jowly face on the TV I hit the mute button before he can open his mouth.

Barbara Boxer did a pretty good imitation of his little snit the other day complete with "theatrical" paper waving.

How can any of your voters respect this twerp? Who votes for him?

[Coexist]

5. ooooh, Lindsay, you are sooooo tough.... you scare me sooooo much

gee... us Democrats better learn our place.

[Kahuna]

6. Obama smacked the repukes hard and boy did they wail..

:rofl:

[fishnfla]

7. the warning means the speech touched a nerve

DONT THINK TWICE ABOUT ANYTHING

[Earth Bound Misfit]

10. BINGO!! n/t

[Jamastiene]

9. What a fuckhead.

He needs to watch his mouth.

[GrantDem]

11. Well, it must have worked.

Good job Mr. President

[Earth Bound Misfit]

13. Indeed n/t

17. Cong. Lindsey Graham said he'd live up to racist turd Sen. Strom Thurmond's legacy.

"For the rest of my life, I will honor Senator Thurmond's legacy and continue to fight for his cause of conservative government."

Know your Bush Family Evil Empire

Note: Not all Bushes are evil or beholden to the BFEE, nor are all those who profit by its existence members of the immediate or extended Bush family. Nor are the Bushes at the pinnacle of global power -- it is quite likely they serve an even wealthier class of individuals. What they all have in common is the use of the powers of the government of the United States for accumulating wealth, power and prestige for themselves, their associates and the other affiliated beneficiaries among the world's financial elite and authoritarian regimes. Always, they gain at the expense of the people and nations of the world, including the citizens of the United States and its Constitution.

A Short History of Conspiracy Theory

Note 2: The subject is a work in progress. The entries are not perfect, nor are they complete. They do provide a framework for a who's-who and what's-what and how we got here. Started for educational and historical purposes, these threads are meant to serve the public interest. What gives them a special quality are the contributions of DUers. May they also serve some prosecutor in the future.

Thanks for caring, Earth Bound Misfit. To the BFEE, it's not personal or treason -- it's just business.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

31. How is it possible, after nearly a year

at DU, I NEVER saw a "Know your BFEE" thread? :dunce:

Gotta stop spending so much time at the Labor Forum. :shrug:


As for the aforementioned "BFEE'S"

:applause:

I gots a lotta catchin' up to DU. :beer:

[Geek_Girl]

18. Gallup polls a majority of Americans support this stimulus plan

and 38-39 don't support this plan. So WTF is he talking about. Are Republicans trying to do themselves in?

[eilen]

20. I don't like his tone.

Suppose he trips the "do not fly list" . That was standard operating procedure under BushCo.

Perhaps he'll get a friendly call from Rham instead.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

23. Isn't TSA one of the "casualties" of the plan?

[Lint Head]

24. During the election Graham made a speech in the backyard of

my brother in laws house. It was during a red neck beer party in rural South Carolina. He is actually very ignorant.
According to my brother in law you could smell the bull shit for weeks after he left.
:dem:

[Earth Bound Misfit]

25. ....

:rofl:

[G_j]

28. Clinton's Impeachment hearings

I hate to even stir my memory.... what an ass he was!
How people elect stupid arrogant jerks like Graham is dumbfounding.

[burythehatchet]

26. I'm glad this is happening. It gives Obama the opening to smash this turney-neck mofo

in the mouth. They will keep testing him until he responds.

[Catshrink]

27. Shoe's on the other foot now and Miss Lindsey doesn't like it.

Tough. Elections have consequences.

[MzNov]

30. Theatre, simply Theatre!

[Kansas Wyatt]

32. If I were Obama, I would make sure that little fucker cried a river of tears...

On the Senate floor 'next time.'
