Hannity Gets It - Warns Rs against caving on Sup Ct. Justice

[CaptainObvious]

Obama won't attend funeral. This is such a simple thing to do and yet the prick just won't give an inch. He wants everyone else to moderate, but not him. Then they, the left, wonder why all the stonewalling. Mr. President, show some fucking leadership and at least try to bridge the gap instead if making it all the wider.

Adding insult to injury:
Funerals Obama attended:

Robert Byrd (former KKK member)

Ted Kennedy (drove a woman off a bridge)

Skipped funeral for first general to die in Afghan to golf. Also skipped the funeral for the 4 brave men who died doing their job at Benghazi.

Got to give the bastard credit, he is consistent.

I believe you got the quote wrong.

It is more along the lines of "First they came for the socialists, and I stood cheering with my fellow ET P&R brethren."


Or as we like to call it - "the first week of the Trump presidency".

lol

e wants everyone else to moderate, but not him.

Don't forget McConnell's stance in the very first days of Obama's presidency: utter inflexibility stated publicly. This stance on any Obama nominee, "no matter who" is another instance of that. So Obama would be entitled to dish some back.

A true leader can rise above this nonsense, which is the whole problem in government. There isn't a real leader in the entire bunch.
But somehow he has time for this mob.

Seeing that Obama had Scalia smothered with a pillow in the bedroom it is probably quite proper that he not attend the funeral, eh?

I don't care if you want to call it right or left - fascist or socialist - its all the same thing with a different name... its what big govt run by a few cronies progresses too.

Anybody who cares about the people should be anti big govt in any form.
that quote I like to use... applies to the left and the right.

And so we have banana republics and death squads on the other side. You're blowing smoke out of your butt, there are living examples of democratic socialism in the world today.

"First they came for the socialists, but I did nothing..." --a favorite quote of yours.

Not. Fascism is more properly understood as a kind of government, while socialism more properly refers to a kind of economy.

“The president, obviously, believes it's important for the institution of the presidency to pay his respects to somebody who dedicated three decades of his life to the institution of the Supreme Court,” Earnest said, adding that Friday marked an “important opportunity” to pay those respects.

"In spite of the criticism, people close to the Scalia family said Obama was making the right choice. "I wouldn't have expected President Obama to attend the funeral Mass, and I see no reason to fault him for not attending," said Ed Whelan, a former Scalia clerk who now heads the Ethics and Public Policy Center. "The ceremony at the Supreme Court seems the most apt opportunity for the president to pay his respects, but he obviously might have severe competing demands on his time."

"There’s not substantial historic precedent for presidents attending the funerals of sitting justices. President George W. Bush not only attended, but also eulogized Supreme Court chief justice and fellow conservative William Rehnquist in 2005. But before him, the last justice to die in office was Robert H. Jackson in 1954."

its all the same ricter... the cronies or the party, in control, destroying social liberty and economic liberty for the gains and the power of the few.

socialism is not a pure play, communism was not even close to Marx's ideas in real life... and the right does not come close to giving us the best the right can offer. big govt corrupts big ideas.

the cronies and those in control don't keep the pure forms. big govt brings big power to a few and therefore big corruption and evil deeds.

those in control of a bigger and bigger govt have been giving us the worst ideas from the right and the worst ideas from the left... since Reagan.

from the socialism side we received insurance company care in which Americans were forced to give their money to corporations. instead of single payer.

that should tell you a boatload about the socialism that could come from America's socialist team.

Not. Fascism is more properly understood as a kind of government, while socialism more properly refers to a kind of economy.
