The new chairman of the Republican National Committee is Reince Priebus.

Priebus won the post after seven rounds of voting at the RNC's winter meeting, besting four other candidates - including outgoing chairman Michael Steele.

My thoughts:

These people show a really perverse mindset in how they believe proper governing should be accomplished. You don't keep saying "Obama" like that and not catch on to your errors. Once, sure, it can happen. Three times and you're just plain scary, and your motives for saying the president's name over and over when mentioning how Osama Bin Laden should be executed, have to be addressed as being more than just a slip of the tongue. Ah... smell the 2012 campaign of Haley Barbour ratcheting up!


Obviously, the GOP leaders have "addressed" his actions this past election cycle and have made their final decision today.

1. listening to him talk again in the youtube interview, he really sounds like a young Cheney...

:puke:


and make sure you listen to the end of the video when he gets called out on saying Obama 3 times...

[SpiralHawk]

2. ...so he's a liar, as well as a hate monger. Is he a chickenhawk, too?

With the disgraceful Republicon record of chickenhawkery, American citizens have to assume this new clown is one, too...

[1776Forever]

3. Oh the Grand Old Party - They just keep going from bad to worse! Sick! n/t

K&R

4. they really have no shame - they boast of their violent "jokes" and imagery as part of the game and

the more famous of them laugh to the bank reaping millions in contracts like Rush and Beck.

I'm sure someone at the White House has to have known what this guy said in October... they can't be too thrilled. Steele was a goof, this guy looks willing to be quite incendiary...

[GoCubsGo]

5. Sounds like they picked the perfect guy to represent them.

From their perspective, anyway.

6. egads! nt

[sad sally]

7. Why isn't this man being investigated by Homeland Security?

He said Obama should be executed - three times!

[vaberella]

13. Because he sold it as an error. n/t

[baldguy]

8. The GOP/Teabagger Party is doubling down on the crazy, I see.

[Overseas]

9. Sad K&R. //nt

10. He said "Obama" very clearly on purpose. It was not a mistake at all. nt

[vaberella]

11. Completely. Did you hear when he was corrected...all he said was.., "Uh...right!!"

This is the subliminal message shit that needs to be corrected.

[AlinPA]

14. Even then, as you say, he made a snarky, "oh yeah" reply. Republicans do that to fire up their base

who love hearing the President's name as a substitution for Bin Laden. It's "Teabaggerese".

[Kolesar]

18. Yes, that stood out

He thinks he is so f'ing clever.

[vaberella]

12. Please send this to Chris Matthews, KO, and RM---please. n/t

[JBoy]

15. His speaking manner really pisses me off. He "swaggers" when he talks.

[jillan]

16. Can someone please explain to me why Alan Grayson would be too extreme to head the DNC?

That's what I keep hearing, and to me there is no one else more perfect for the job.

Yet - no one says much about Reince.

I feel like the rw gets away with so much and the Dems get called out on every little thing.

I know, life's not fair.

[AlinPA]

17. RE: "mistake" in quotes in your post. Exactly right. nt

[vaberella]

19. This needs a kick. n/t

[Donald Ian Rankin]

20. Amusing, but not meaningful. It was clearly just a gaffe, and has no relevance to politics.

Yes, it's tempting to deliberately interprate anything a Republican says in the worst possible light, but in this case I think it strains credulity to suggest that he was even aware what he was saying.

[AlinPA]

21. I saw and heard it as mocking the President and his saying "Obama" instead of

Osama" to make the teabaggers and the rest of the party happy.

22. There's an old saying in Tennessee, well it's in Texas I think it's in Tennessee

Fool me once shame on you, fool me can't get fooled again.
