Pete Stark needs to be Censured or Impeaced RIGHT NOW

[Stinky The Clown]

He apologized. He is an enabler and capitulator to the right wing corporatist cabal fascists. The war and all future wars, global warming, and genital warts are all on his head.

HOW DARE HE apologize to this group of criminals.

Who's with me?????? Storm DC and DEMAND his immediate removal. Torches and Pitchforks.

NOW!!!!!!!













All of the foregoing is sarcasm and over the top hyperbolic satire, as evidenced by an earlier post on this same topic: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=2083365

I do, however, consider this post a mirror on the state of the community of late.

1. We Must First Consult Our Leaders.

Hold on there.

It sounds as though you might want to do something independently from Our Leaders.

We must first consult Our Leaders.

Because they are political experts.

They know what is best.

Do nothing without first consulting Our Leaders.

Someday they will end the war.

But now is not the right time.

Just be patient.

Trust.

Obey.

:sarcasm:

[Lerkfish]

2. I think the community of late has spent a great deal of energy

pimping and misreprenting, pretending fake outrage and mimicking posts in a derogatory way of those they disagree with to such a point that it becomes difficult to know how ANYONE feels without a scorecard.

there's sarcasm and satire, but it should be used sparingly and appropriately.

all there is now, is snark. real communication is out the window.

[Stinky The Clown]

3. and .........

?

[Lerkfish]

27. just adding an additional observation to your existing observation

you were talking about the community of late, and I made my point on top of yours

[Stinky The Clown]

28. Oh

okay

[ShortnFiery]

4. What it glaringly points to is, IMO, is ineffectual Democratic Leaders.

I'm always disrespecting the Republicans for marching in lock step, but WTF, where's the TEAM?!? :shrug:

It seems that The Republicans are playing tackle football while The Democrats are trying to not only get selected for the best Sorority, but also are meticulously competing for the esteemed title of "Best BushBotBorg Enabler?" :)

Where's our Team, The Loyal Opposition?

[Mutineer]

7. AMEN! They don't have spines

or guts or balls or any of what they need to have to LEAD! It's like they think the GOP is still in charge of the House & Senate. WTF is up with that? It's time to get them to LISTEN to us for a change!

[ShortnFiery]

10. If not now, may we make them listen to us in "the primaries?"

Every two years - House! :evilgrin:

[Stinky The Clown]

18. Team ......

... I'd LOVE a team.

(Not directed at you, SnF: Being part of a team is NOT tantamount to blind, lockstep support.)

[LSK]

5. he was forced to

[Stinky The Clown]

19. Well, does the reason he did it make any difference?

Why waste good outrage on finding facts? <---- also sarcasm and satire

[LSK]

22. yes, the anger should be focused on those who forced him to

[Stinky The Clown]

25. Keep following that same logic .......

.... I know I do and I get to places way different than lots of other people seem to. I'm not saying any one view is right or wrong ...... I'm only allowing that there is ...... and that the differers can still agree on 98% of things.

(This was not directed at you, personally)

[rateyes]

6. Did he really apologize, or is that part of the satire, too? nt

[madinmaryland]

8. Just remember folks, we need to keep our powder dry.

:grr:

[Dr Fate]

14. Except when we are firing at anti-Bush voices- then it's guns-a-blazing.

n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

20. Hahahaha

Sadly ...... too true.

[Dr Fate]

9. I agree. And let's censure Moveon.org AGAIN. And the entire city of San Francisco as well...

...and Tom Tomorrow and "The Nation" magazine as well- freaking commies.

Surely all the 10% pro-war "moderates" will be impressed at some point- right????

I'm hankering for a FIGHT-Does anyone have a list of more of these dirty anti-Bush people that us Democrats can fight?

[OzarkDem]

11. There's a very, very, very big difference

Between those Dem members of Congress who have the courage to speak honestly then are knee-capped into retreat and those who "drink the kool-aid" so to speak.

I'll gladly continue to carry the torch against the Dem "knee-cappers" in Congress and forgive those who are the victims. I don't see any of our Dem leaders (Pelosi, Reid, Hoyer, Emmanuel, et al) as victims. They are the perps and just as guilty and reprehensible as Bush and the GOP.

[Stinky The Clown]

21. "just as guilty and reprehensible as Bush and the GOP"

Interesting turn of a phrase.

[Va Lefty]

12. I don't know why I'm surprised by this

You think I'd be used to it by now. It seems the only thing democrats are willing to fight and stand up for is their pork. Any thing else and they roll over and take it like a $20 hooker. Very disappointing

[frylock]

13. i guess those strong democratic leaders finally got to him..

fucking cowards.

[Forkboy]

15. I wish you seemed as worried about the state of America as you are about the state of DU.

[Stinky The Clown]

17. I wish your sanctimony were based on fact and not surmise

You don't know jack shit about me.

[Forkboy]

24. Just what I see here.

[Stinky The Clown]

26. Really?

What is it that you see?

[varkam]

16. Yeah - let's send a letter to Pelosi, thanking her...

for standing up for what is truly important! Thank goodness someone reigned in that lunatic Stark and that left-wing fringe group MoveOn.Org. :eyes:

[SparkyMac]

23. I saw him on CNN. I still can't believe it !
