Dem Rep. Donna Edwards compares Republicans to "monkeys."

The freedom to make remarks like this is one of the attractions of being a liberal.

Liberalism is a philosophy that feels that everyone else is incompetent and unable to survive without massive "help"... from liberals, inevitably. It couples that with a belief that their opponents are not just wrong, but unutterably evil. And to top it off, most Americans find their agenda unappealing, understandably. So the liberals have gotten into the habit of lying about their agenda, lying about their opponents, and twisting the truth wherever they can, since telling the truth would only get them voted out of power. Lying becomes a normal, ingrained habit with them.

So it tends to attract people who are slavering to denigrate and assassinate the character of conservatives, or even Republicans - ANYONE who opposes them, regardless of their actual characteristics. And comparing them to animals, as Edwards is doing here, is all in a day's work - just another part of what they must do to be successful liberals.

In a nutshell, liberalism attracts the worst among us. Some people who genuinely want to help others, don't last long in the liberal camp as they discover the platitudes of "helping the poor" etc. were fibs, and discover the true nature of the ones who have remained and risen through the ranks. The ones who remain, are the ones whom the agenda and tactics fit to a "T": Those seething with hate, people happy to lie and distort their way through life, etc.

Why else do they constantly spend their time spewing lies about conservatives such as "poisoning the air", "stealing from children", "dispossessing seniors", "throwing granny off the cliff", and now "being similar to monkeys"?

It's not a disturbing exception. Among liberals, it's the rule. It's the only way they can advance their agenda... and in most cases, the only way they want to.

And the dregs of humanity - warped individuals seething with hate, desiring to hurt and destroy others - find an accommodating home among their fellow travelers in the Democrat and other extreme-left big-government parties that regard the majority as needing help, unable to function well without "guidance", and generally inferior to the leftists. Not just now, but throughout history - England's "Labor" party, South Africa's white minority, Germany in the 1930s, etc.

Yet when someone calls 0bama a monkey, all hell breaks loose.

Talk about disgusting hypocrites.

If evolved means we can do it but you can't then you are correct. But it doesn't and you're not.

You do realize that this was a comedy event. She bombed.

Donna Edwards: Most painful speech ever - POLITICO.com

Quote:
Another reporter at the event said “it’s okay to bomb” a voluntary comedy routine — “just wrap it up quickly and don’t let it drag on.”

But let it drag on she did.

Actually. calling Republicans monkeys is tame for Donna, she's usually much harsher and more profane.

Actually you could raid the primate house in the Washington DC zoo and replace all our elected leaders with baboons, apes, chimps, gorillas and monkeys and nobody would notice the difference.
Stupid IS the new normal in DC.

Yawn. Near as I can tell this is made up hysteria with no rational reason to get upset.
