Thanks for reminding me, Donna, why I don't vote for Democrats. Now we know who's setting the example for the rest of them.
According to your source Ms. Edwards made that remark at the Washington Press Club Foundation annual dinner, its an annual ritual where member's of Congress entertain a crowd of journalists, lawmakers, and a variety of political insiders with jokes.

The lady told a joke at a comedy event and called republicans "monkey's."

But you are in a public forum of politics, and you are talking about a black woman, and you say "Toss that woman a banana!"

Who's behavior is worse yours or hers ???

So its wrong for a liberal woman to call republicans "monkeys" at a comedy event, but it's 100% OK for conservatives in a public political forum, to talk about a black woman and say "Toss that woman a banana!" ??

Not only are conservatives intolerant, but you have demonstrated conservatives are also (highly) hypocritical.

Conservatives I know don't care so much about your life choices as long as they don't have to pay for it.

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.


You want some tissue for those tears?

Talk about disgusting hypocrites.

There is another name for all of them besides Hypocrites. Actually quite a few.

Remember the party of, Do as we say, DENIFITELY not as we Do, or there will be hell to pay.

Ignorant Hypocrites who are not worth a lick of anyone's time.

Let them stay ignorant to the core, in their soul,. with a bad Karma and Essence.

Joke or no joke, if the shoe was on the other foot, it would make HEADLINE NEWS, and you all know it.

WTF gives these ignorant souls, the right to think they are Superior. Their Not. DC this President, bias as hell media, anyone associated with Obama, will get theirs, right down to their core.

I do not put lies and deceit up there with being Superior.
