Self-congratulatory leftist quote of the day

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 8, 2007 01:09 AM

Winning quote:

“It’s amazing what an idiot with a laptop, cell phone and credit card can achieve.”

–Brad Newsham, Berkeley moonbat organizer of the “Beach Impeach” stunt.

Runner-up:

“Two days before the events, I’m shaking,” he said. “I swear, this work could kill a guy. But I want to send a message that we can reinvent America. We can take back America.”

– Newsham again.

Hey, buddy, don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back.

    Send a message? Message received: Your moonbat stunt won’t accomplish anything but making you a laughing stock.

    Mission accomplished!

    Huh? So which is it? Does he want a new American or the old one?

    Does he plan, at some later date, on leading “Reinvent America” protesters to protest his own “Take back America” rallies and vice-versa?

    Now, that’s job security. That’s thinking ahead.

    Although, I guess it could be worse, they could be off somewhere defacing a war memorial or harassing a military recruiter…

    Yo AJ, sorry about the SWEEEEEPPP of the Angels.

    We can take back America

    I can’t believe I am going to agree with a moonbat. I agree we need prayer in schools. The 10 “suggestions” back in government. A Christian nation as originally intended. Yep, we need to take back America from the liberalism that has ruined our schools and government.

    All they have showed me is how stupid they are and how much they don’t understand the level of threat this country faces in our current war. Must be nice to go through life without having to think for your self, but letting your betters think for you.

    morning all … agree with aj about their spelling skills …

    too bad they can’t spell the words “victory and win” …

    guess that’s still too far down on the alphabetic spelling lesson list …

    they still have to get past Islam, Jihad, Muslim, Pacification, etc.

    Being from the Bay Area I have found a great way to silence these idiots when I run across them. I ask if we Impeach the President do you know who would take his place? So many of these idiots think Rep Pelosi would replace him till I enlighten them to the truth.

    That’s why many are calling for the impeachment of both Bush and Cheney.

    They want neither.

    As for “reinventing” America, we all know the Code Pinkos and the rest long for this nation to be a communist one. I don’t get how they can be “progressive” when they cleave to an ideology that’s failed repeatedly and taken 100 million lives in the process. But, then again, I suppose negative/backward progress is, technically, progress…isn’t it?

    Oh I just went to the website and noticed they auctioned off a seat in the helicopter taking a photo of the event. Bidding started at $300 and they got a whole 4 bidders with a high bid of just $410.

    Kind of sad don’t you think. Guess these people don’t like to put their money where thier mouth is.

    These are the people taking America back (from what is a different question.) I’m sure Al Qaeda and fellow American enemies are just quaking in their sandals.

    The idea of someone endorsed by these people getting elected Commander in Chief scares the heck out of me.

    Better load some more ammo.

    Since the MSM constantly gives air to these nut-cases, it makes me wonder if the rest of the world really thinks they are the representation of the mainstream of America. Does the rest of the world REALLY think we all hate Bush and deplore the war?

    Thank God for Michelle and our other RIGHT bloggers and talk radio friends for trying to keep it real.

    Such a hard working guy, I wonder how he finds time to be so anti-American? He must have a really hard life here in this Great Country that he can only afford to backpack around the world only 4 times, pity.

    Yes,
    the world does think these nutballs are America and represent the mainstream thinking. That’s why other countries don’t respond ‘correctly’. They hear our Demoncrats and the moonbats all crying against ‘war for oil’ and other insanities posted by the Old Media and believe it’s the truth. Shame on us.

    Au contraire! He accomplished a great deal! He demonstrated within the context of his tribe that he is an alpha-male capable of leading many others and thereby enhances his chances of and choices for intra-tribal copulation.

    $20,000? He spent $20,000 of his money on this? I’m sure his 9-year old daughter appreciates Daddy pissing away her college education fund. Way to go, Daddy-O!

    And it took a year to organize? Why so long? Trying to figure out how to spell “impeach”, I imagine.

    And what, may I ask, did this accomplish? This is a question that is just dogging me. What is it, exactly, do they think these little stunts accomplish? I mean, do they honestly, somewhere in the back of their minds, think that suddenly, after seeing one of these stunts, that the US Congress and Senate will all of a sudden, stop what they are doing, think, “My God…that’s freaking BRILLIANT! Why did it take me so long to think of that?” and suddenly begin impeachment proceedings? Do they honestly believe that these protests and stunts will make Bush or anyone else, suddenly give the orders to pull out of Iraq, Afghanistan and where ever else they do not approve of us being, and come home, ending the WOT? Seriously, what is their ultimate goal? What logic are they using in this?

    Not only that, but this guy spent $20K? ON WHAT???? Re-seeding the natural grasses that were destroyed by patchouli poisoning and trampling? What about all the emissions from all the VW busses that was caused in getting these morons to the location? how about the helicopter emissions? Had he not fdone this stunt, that would be that much less greenhouse gasses produced, since these hippies would have stayed home. After all, it isn’t like they have jobs. How else could they have got there? “Hey boss, I need the day off…I have to go and make an ass out of myself in a field doing something that serves no purpose other than satisfy my own sense of self-worth. I am making a difference”.

    Yeah rught. What a bunch of useless jackasses. If they spent this much time and effort in improving themselves and their lives by getting jobs and raising families…

    Maybe they can organize another protest on our local gun range? There’s lots of open space and relatively level ground. There’s also an air strip nearby so aerial shots are pretty amazing. We can make it available to all moon bats during normal range hours. Make sure to bring eye & hearing protection and several old refrigerators and automobiles you can hide behind.
