Grover Norquist: Obama is "John Kerry with a tan"

[sabra]

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/06/barack-obama-jo.html#comments

John McCain has been trying hard of late to link Barack Obama with Jimmy Carter in the public consciousness, hoping that the "ineffectual" label that many voters affix to the former president will prove transferable.

Anti-tax activist Grover Norquist touts Goc. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota as prime vice presidential prospects for presumptive Republican presdiential nominee John McCainBut Grover Norquist -- the conservative activist who specializes in promoting an anti-tax agenda and, more generally, revels in the role of agent provocateur -- is offering a different comparison.

Norquist dropped by The Times' Washington bureau today and, as part of his negative critique of Obama's liberal stances on economic issues and other matters, he termed the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee "John Kerry with a tan."

Since Norquist isn't running for anything, he can get away with such remarks; we doubt McCain will be incorporating the line into his speeches anytime soon.

1. McCain is Bush without the conviction. Which is worse?

[pinto]

2. Oh geez.

Norquist is truly a slimemonger.

[MH1]

17. Actually, if Obama were "John Kerry with a tan"

I'd probably like him BETTER.

But I know that's not how Norquist meant it. :)

[Pale Blue Dot]

3. Norquist can kiss my blindingly white ass.

I'm looking forward to the day, coming very soon, when Norquist is considered a pariah.

[BurtWorm]

4. Norquist is a slimemold with a beard.

[kentuck]

5. And Grover Norquist is Karl Rove without the imagination?

That was really brilliant, Grover! Did that come to you as a vision??

[SpiralHawk]

6. But, they are both republicon chickenhawks

As usual.

[ProfessorGAC]

8. And, Both Are Devious, But Not As Bright. . .

. . .as they are given credit for being.

7. McSame is Bush without hair, and Norquist is a sociopath. n/t

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

9. "Grover Norquist is the turd I shit out this morning with a beard and without the charm." n/t

[JHB]

12. He stinks worse, too...

Not a comment about smell, I have no personal knowledge of the precise scent of either entity in question.

But Grover just stinks on any level!

[Spouting Horn]

10. Not to mention Norquist's ties

to radical Islamists, who are desirous of implementing Shariah law in the United States,

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

15. Really? How would they hope to accomplish such a thing?

No, wait, don't tell me -- via their best friends-in-evil, the damn libruls and demonRATS! Right?

[Spouting Horn]

27. It seems a current popular method

is to take it to Universities like Harvard, where a student gymnasium is now segregated by sex several times per week, and the University of Michigan, where public dollars went to fund the construction of foot baths that are used for ritualistic washing before prayers, and any number of universities that are converting what used to be classrooms into (ostensibly multi-faith) prayer rooms...

Now, in the case of Europe, the examples extend far beyond academia, but I digress...

[gratuitous]

11. gratuitous: Norquist is the Village Idiot without a brain

Are we done with the name-calling now? Can we talk about the issues, please?

[bdamomma]

13. what a POS remark from a POS thug.

[Bake]

14. Naaaaah. Obama's better looking than John ...

:rofl:

Bake

[Hubert Flottz]

16. Grover and his GOPer buds are going to be the slimy shit on the...

shitty end of the big stick, come November and they are pulling out all the stops, including the race card now, to make way for another election theft.

[Bigmack]

18. And yet....

MSM media outlets will still have that POS on their programs.

Why don't those ratings-whores ambush the bastard... you know... ask a bunch of their usual kiss-ass questions, and then hit 'em with.. "Is it true you called Obama 'Kerry with a tan' ?"

All those assholes live for the hot soundbite that will make their rep.

Or maybe the rightwingnuts would love it and make it a campaign slogan.

[blm]

19. And RNC/GOP had to work 24/7 for years to steal 04 because Kerry cleaned Bush's clock in every match

up they had, bio, resume, accomplishments, and every statement and debate. The RNC stole that election for Bush and McAuliffe's DNC sat on their hands for four years after 2000s theft and let them do it again.

THIS time we have a DNC that has worked to rebuild party infrastructure in states where it had been long collapsed before other election cycles.

Obama will get his votes counted as his voters will be ALLOWED to cast their vote.

And if Obama is as dedicated to open government and opening the books on government corruption to the American people as Kerry has shown, this nation will be far, far better off.

20. The hyper-Reaganite yard gnome makes a racist comment. Quel Suprise.

This is Grover Norquist.

I ask you. Does this asshole have any room to make fun of ANYONE???

[texasleo]

21. What's next? Stalin with an afro? Mao with round eyes? Che without a leaf blower?

[Terry in Austin]

22. Any self-respecting slime would object to being called "Norquist"

The guy is just leeetle bit hinky, ya know. Once referred to bipartisanship as "date rape." He's even rumored to have actually touched Newt Gingrich.

Here's a glimpse of Grover-boy from WaPo:

...At staff meetings... he holds court while variously sitting on a giant red plastic ball, eating tuna from a can, rubbing his feet against a massager and sniffing hand lotion as he kneads it into his fingers. He excuses himself to go to "the ladies room."

[mitchum]

32. What a goddamn freak

[LittleClarkie]

23. That would work.

I wouldn't mind a John Kerry with a tan, personally.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

24. Wow

Well I guess that settles it then. Obama shouldn't be President. Thank you Grover!
:crazy:

[That Is Quite Enough]

25. O noz, Orcquist doesn't like Obama. Big surprise.

[KamaAina]

26. With a TAN?!

:grr: :banghead:

Boy, I'd like to "tan" Grover's hide!!

[spanone]

28. fuck you grover...fuck you

[malaise]

29. Grover is Hitler with

an American accent.

[Dr. Strange]

30. I thought he was Reagan with a tan?

Grover's filching our GD-P material.

[Supersedeas]
