No more Mittster nice guy!
2012-08-05
Of all the people in the world, U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Godfather II. Doesn’t he remind you of Sen. “Pat Geary,” the totally corrupt solon in the classic movie. Like the hypocritical Geary, Reid puts the blast on Romney for doing something he himself does — refusing to release his taxes.

Mitt, I know James Michael Curley said, “Never complain, never explain.” Generally speaking, he was right. But you’re running against the Outfit here, and there’s nothing they won’t do. Refresh yourself about Barack’s Senate election in Illinois and the suddenly released divorce records of both his Democrat and Republican foes. Recall the 2008 presidential campaign, and the abject lies Obama’s media rumpswabs knowingly peddled. Remember The New York Times [NYT]’ stories about John McCain’s mistress who wasn’t, or Todd Palin’s membership in the Alaska National Party, which likewise was totally false. How many piss-poor columns has Gail Collins written about Seamus the dog on the roof, but Barack Obama actually eating dogs ... crickets please.

Mitt, canÂ’t you find some Republican as sleazy as Harry Reid to start making charges about Barry Soetoro. I mean, youÂ’re running against the capo of the Choom Gang, a guy with multiple names, multiple birthplaces, somebody who gave up his law license for never-explained reasons, a guy with a Social Security number from a state he never lived in.

And you turn the other cheek? You should have given Rich Gorka a raise for ripping into those Barack bumkissers in Poland. Instead, you benched him.

#18  Now Harry "land deals and no tax returns" Reid, alleged pederast, gets to respond.

Now Harry "land deals and no tax returns" Reid, alleged pederast who may or may have not been found lying semiconscious in a whorehouse bed next to an eviscerated practitioner of The World's Oldest Profession; nobody knows for sure; you know how it is with that whole "anonymous sourcing" thing, gets to respond.

FIFY :-)

#14  I'd better apply the 'sarc' tag next time. I only mentioned pederasty and pedophilia four times to see if I could help raise Mr. Reid's Google profile...

OK Steve, you got us all pretty good with that one. In that spirit...did everyone notice how the original article compared Dingy Harry to "Pat Geary," the corrupt Nevada Senator from Godfather II? Now while I can't say for sure that Harry Reid has ever been found lying semiconscious next to a dead hooker, I think inquiring minds MIGHT want to know about the association of Harry Reid with a possible allegedly dead hooker.

I get that. I actually got a chuckle out of it. But I was not amused by Schieffer.

#12  He's just saving his ammo.

I sincerely hope you're right about that. I got really impatient this morning watching Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer on CBS. The donks kept harping on Mitt's tax returns and neither Schieffer nor any of the Repubs would make any mention whatsoever about Barry's college records. They must have been congratulating themselves for their discipline and the way they stayed on script about the economy. But that's not gonna work because the donks kept coming back with lies and half truths about the economy. This nonsense needs to stop. Somebody needs to call bullshit. Mitt needs to take off the gloves and play smash mouth.

#8  Sorry, Steve, I also have to register my respectful disagreement. Your hope that "the better part of our society" would stay on a higher-minded, decent path this campaign season risks a repeat of 2008. The Obamunists are counting on their media stooges to keep Team Mittens bottled up within the Alinsky rule of "make the enemy follow their own rules", in this case trying to force Romney into a permanent Marquess of Queensberry campaign mode.

OTOH, this interesting 1-page summary of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals contains the elements that our side can use to wage a guerrilla campaign against the Obama/DNC/MSM machine. Choice cuts:

#5: Ridicule is man's most important weapon. How can you NOT ridicule a corruptocrat senator who looks like a cross between ET and the Cryptkeeper?

#6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. The great Iowahawk has done brilliant pioneering work with this one. Remember when the scumbag ABC reporter Brian Ross falsely accused a Tea Party member of being the Aurora, CO movie-theater shooter? Iowahawk collected a series of links to random news stories about guys named "Brian Ross" being arrested for crimes ranging from check fraud to rape and murder, then posted them on Twitter as "Brian Ross's One-Man Crime Wave." The "Harry the Pederast" schtick is simply in keeping with this idea, and I don't have a damn bit of sympathy for the target.

#8: Keep the pressure on. Never let up. Be Breitbart. Keep trying new stuff; keep the bastards off-balance and unable to mount a coherent counterattack.

Now this isn't the first time I've inserted this vid, and for the same reason...

#7  nobody's accusing him of Pederasty, Dr. Steve. We're just raising the question since so many say that he is but don't want to actually go on the record. It's up to him to prove he's not. That's teh Democrat rule, nobody in teh WH is telling him to knock it off, so we'll play by the same Chicago/Vegas rules. You've got to play to win, and they're setting the bar. I want no McCain "losing honorably". It's a political knifefight, and if they pull guns (so to speak), we will too. A guy like Harry is shameless, so you have to make him fear for his career for these tactics. I'd spend some money digging into his, his sons' past and financials. He, after all, refuses to release his returns. His son is acting as a lawyer for a Chinese firm Harry supported....

No more Mr. Nice Guy. They called the rules

#6  Those who delivered Guernica, Warsaw, Rotterdam, London and Coventry, received Hamburg, Berlin and Dresden in return. You learn to play their game to win. Civility only returns after the devastation is so great, wiser minds remember not to start it in the first place. The only choices the other side offers you are surrender or fight.

#5  The congress should vote on censure or whatever it is called to against Harry for his innuendo and slander. Shine a bright light on the cockroaches and they scurry.

#4  Mitt's not a wimp: ask Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich.

He's just saving his ammo.

I'm not sure that's the right political play this election, but it's his call.

I do think that descending into the gutter with Harry Reid is wrong. It's wrong to accuse him of pederasty and pedophilia without evidence, just as it's wrong and evil for Reid to accuse Mitt of being a tax dodger. I'd like to think that the better part of our society would condemn Reid of his scandalous behavior, and not mimic it by accusing him of pederasty and pedophilia.

Then again, since Mr. Reid is getting a free pass, one can understand why honest citizens, frustrated with the lack of decency in Washington, would take matters into their own hands and accuse Mr. Reid of pederasty and pedophilia. The Outfit is willing to do anything to bring this election home for Obama, and so there is the temptation to accuse Reid of pederasty and pedophilia, even though there is (currently) no evidence of it.

Tusk, tusk.

#3  There are lots of things we would like to say to the Donk leaders that would be newsworthy and get under their skin, but the MSM will not permit it. Even if Mitt began to give better than he got, they'd call it "hateful and hurtful".

I think the MSM are correct for suggesting that Mitt is a wimp, but are not correct in suggesting why they are correct: not because he has no "sex appeal", but he won't respond. Jesus did not respond to the patently wild-ass attacks, but he DID respond to the more plausible ones. And there were the "gimmies" that Jesus REFUSED to ignore, but happily hit out of the park.

Reid is a "gimmie" that Mitt's refusing to hit out of the park. What? He think's he's better than Jesus? Puhleeze, I will NOT vote for someone THAT delusional.

#1  Dinghy Harry would be well-served to just shut up. He's got dirty underwear and dirty linen. The Donks are lobbing spitballs and rolling around in the mud. Tennessee Rep. Scott DeJarlais was accused by the Donks of taking money from Chinese pr0stituti0n for his campaign. The only prostitution going on here is Donk pr0stituti0n of the truth.
