Same old same old Frank Rich type attack .

The crisis is at least as grave as the one that confronted us.... and, for a time, united us ... after 9/11. Which is why the antics among Republicans on Capitol Hill seem so surreal. These are the same politicians who only yesterday smeared the patriotism of any dissenters from Bush's “war on terror.” Where is their own patriotism now that economic terror is inflicting far more harm on their constituents than Saddam Hussein's nonexistent W.M.D.?

He is really warped to compare the incineration of 3000 people and a decapitation attempt of the US economy and government by external enemies with an economic slump.

Dissent was patriotic when President Bush was in office. Now you have to be bipartisan. You have to stand up and be patriotic by paying your taxes according to Biden .But not Tom Daschel or the half dozen other tax cheats that have passed to confirmation process. It's OK if they cheat on their taxes . They are true patriots.

According to Michelle Obama everyone "must" sacrifice. "Barack Obama will require you to work. . Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."

I don't buy into the lefty orthodoxy .Therefore I am not patriotic and I'm uninvolved and uninformed. I am unwilling "to find meaning in something greater than [myself ] " if I I reject or don't show fealty to the expansive centralized power he proposes .

Yeah I get it . They couch it in different language but the meaning is the same . I' m not patriotic . I can take it from the source and not moan and complain when I receive their ad hominem .

Things I identify as unpatriotic is garbage like this .

Hello tom:

Daschel exhibits the worst attributes of a politician swilling at the public trough. He should NEVER be confirmed.

Boy do I agree with that ! His wife is one of the leading lobbyists on K street and was when he was Senate Majority leader also .

Anyone can find a YouTube video to confirm ANY idea they want. The rest of your links point to postings by anonymous people, not news/media reports.

Um, tom said "Steele will be smeared by the left as an Uncle Tom... just like Judge Thomas was and is," not "news/media reports."

Are you saying these people aren't of "the left?" Are they really Republicans masquerading as liberals to smear the left? How about the Kossacks who began their smear show on Friday, are they not of "the left?"

It's amazing how you'll do anything to discredit and mock a conservative source and make excuses for liberal sources. But that's OK, I'll still keep you posted on who's saying what wretched things about Steele.

I don't link to comments by anyone. There is plenty of people with hatred out there, I don't feel like giving them any exposure. Have I ever linked to comments on websites?

I like to include a 'diversity' of smears from the left, like this:

So portraying Steele as being in "black face" and saying "this dosen't work with just ANY black guy" has no "Uncle Tom" connotations and is really a compliment.

Have I ever said you did? Whether you do is irrelevant. The fact is, Steele has been smeared by the left as an Uncle Tom and worse, is continuing to be smeared as an Uncle Tom or worse, and will be smeared as an Uncle Tom or worse, and your evasive maneuvers won't change that.

Sorry mate, but I don't base such things on "a few weirdos." If you'd been paying attention you'd know the smears against Steele have transcended "a few weirdos."

It may be "mostly" a few weirdos so far in this cycle, but the news of his chairmanship is still young. But don't worry, I'll keep you posted.

Yep, and calling someone un-this or un-that was a way of controlling the majority through fear.

Poor, poor Republicans. How come you're so one way?

Because we all know that the PORKULUS is a waste of money that we don't have.

It is unpatriotic to burden future generations with further debt and the increasing costs of medicare, medicaid, social security. The latter three, may be insolvent by the time us folks under 40, reach 65.

What do you think adding debt, does to the value of the dollar? Dollars the Treasury can print out of thin air. Think inflation, another tax that is regressive. Is this why you are so into gold? Obama is going to make the dollar worthless.

Speaking of being unpatrioitic didn't Biden say it was "patriotic?"
