Rendell: GOP "Being Taken Over By Wackos and Fruit Loops"

[RamboLiberal]

-----

As proof, Rendell cited a Republican push to hold hearings on the section of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that grants citizenship to people born in this country, continuing doubts among the party's voters that Obama was born in this country and claims from GOP officials that laid-off workers would rather stay on unemployment than take new jobs.

“It’s the party that’s slowly but surely being taken over by wackos," Rendell said, drawing laughter and cheers from the crowd. "“We’re going to turn the reins of Congress over to the people who are more and more dominated by the wacko wing? Of course not. So we have a lot to sell. We haven’t done a good job selling it."

No one, however, brought as much gusto to the pitch as Gov. Ed Rendell (D-Penn.) Introducing DNC Chairman Tim Kaine at the University of Pennsylvania, the retiring Pennsylvania Democrat, known for his oratorical flair, warned about the government being taken over by "whackos." He called some of the more colorful characters in the Republican Party "fruit loops." He derided House Minority Leader John Boehner as "the tan guy," and said that some of the GOP's positions are "flat out crazy."

"I'm telling you," Rendell said. "If I'm an independent voter in (Rep) Patrick Murphy's district, sure I'm worried about the deficit but I sure as heck am worried about people who want to do away with the 14th amendment. I'm sure as heck worried about people who don't think the president was born in the United States of America. I sure as heck am worried about people who think that workers are staying home because of unemployment benefits... they are nuts. They are flat-out crazy."

"We are going to turn the reins of the Congress over to these people who are more and more dominated by the whacko right?" he added.

6. wackos spend a lot of time making stupid assertions in comments sections

I particularly love when they do it at NPR where they seem to believe they are arguing with/against actual progressives, liberals, and socialists.

7. Figured something out.

Ahhhh, I now understand why the name was pronounced Waco, to avoid that exact use of attachment. I always wondered about that. Learning more Language every day.
