Obamagasms on V-O Day at JournoList

By Doug Powers  •  July 21, 2010 02:31 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out the Daily Caller’s JournoList collection of various alleged journalists, reporters and others commenting about V-O Day — Victory for Obama — in the 2008 election. Before clicking the links and accessing the Obamagasms, cover yourself in plastic like you’re in the front row of a Gallagher concert just to be safe.

Page 1 is here.

Page 2 is here.

These people make MSNBC’s Mr. Leg Thrill look like he had electile dysfunction that night.

My personal favorite is from the author of What Liberal Media? The book, according to Amazon, is “Journalist Eric Alterman’s refutation of widely flung charges of left-wing bias.”

Mr. Alterman’s response on election night 2008: “F—ing Nascar retards…”

What liberal media?

I’ll at least give a few of these folks credit for confining their full release to a message board and not doing it right there on national television like much of the mainstream media did on election night of 2008 and beyond.

Update: When not busy cheerleading for Obama, some JournoList Obamaniacs were applying for the position of Plug-Puller-in-Chief on an upcoming Obamacare death panel:

As reported in the Daily Caller, Sarah Spitz, producer of the KCRW public radio program “Left, Right and Center,” which is heard on a number of NPR stations across the country, wrote on JournoList that if she witnessed Limbaugh dying of a heart attack, she would “laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out.”

And they wonder why conservatives don’t want the left in charge of health care?

    Wow, just wow. They really did embarass themselves.

    I hope they enjoyed their big O’s while they could, ’cause they’re about to get some cold water thrown on them in November and then in 2012.

    Given President Obama’s current approval ratings, he has lost a lot of his, er, potency.

    It was said then, and it’s true now: let the inmates run the asylum and maybe people will see… Basically looking for Reagan after another Carter.

    My problems with Obama are well documented.

    My fears, however, are more with the Republicans. Still mostly RINO, led by an ineffective RINO (although I agree with his Afghanistan opinions). Where is the 2012 “Reagan?”

    Romney? Don’t make me laugh. The original ObamaCare is too damning to ignore.

    Gingrich? Master-RINO, but still RINO. He triangulates better than anyone this side of Bubba Clinton, but that’s hardly what we need.

    We are in a lot of trouble here. Carter without a Reagan running against him is a recipe for Disaster.

    Palin? I don’t see it.

    WHERE is the dynamic, populist, conservative?

    Nothing new here; these are the same kind of people who publicly wished Rush’s kidneys would fail and that Clarence Thomas would die young from an unhealthy diet.

    But, remember, it is REPUBLICANS (according to the psychotic Alan Grayson) who want people who get sick to “die quickly”.

    I have often wondered why no Repubs did not stand up to that rant, at least in the news, and ask for the PROOF. What is wrong with the R’s? Don’t they have the ba!!s to speak out?

    We are $crew3d if we don’t get someone quickly. I think maybe every R politician has some dark secret that makes them a target for blackmail.

    He do and he do. Still, I would stay where we are, in the “PG-13″ realm.

    Anyway, we could all really use a laugh right now, and these so-called “journalists” have certainly given us plenty of mockable material.

    Well, you are dealing with people who understand that it was an absurd statement. It gets played and played, and no one refutes it. That was just one example of how the Repubs don’t do or say anything and then wonder why the public doesn’t have a favorable opinion of them.

    Look at Steele. What a joke. I had happened to have come across his interview on CNN one night when he just nodded his head in agreement with Hugely who was cutting down the Repubs and conservatives. What a loser. Not sure who would fill the bill…

    I can see your point that we need to be more vocal in defending ourselves against all untrue, ad hominem attacks, as ridiculous as it may seem that anyone should have to SAY that Republicans don’t want people to die.

    Meanwhile, Obama and the current Congress’s approval remains in the toilet – that gives me a happy. :)

    And while everyone is figuring out there is no journalists left in America anymore, the same can easily be said about polls. Push polling the Democrats into office is one of the last refuges of these scoundrels, designed to effect turnout.

    Maybe Shirley Sherrod now understands what it’s like to have been a white male in this country the past twenty years, how insideous and manipulative the PC police can be. Welcome to the club Shirley Sherrod, we are all white males now.

    I think Andrew Breitbart has done us all a big favor.

    Happy: They will still own the system, and the means of social indoctrination will still be in place (media, schools). They’ll be upset but their long term plans and objectives will remain.

    That’s why Constitutional change is mandatory, to limit the size and power of the central government. This war has to be fought at the macro level.

    I have just read several posts about the recent NAACP firing and how Sherod was a victim….The posts sound so similar that it would be credible that this is another line being pushed by liberal “journolists”. Seriously, this woman delivered a vile hate filled speech at a recent NAACP meeting and was greeted with nods and approval. What is her saving grace? That she is no longer only a racist, but that she now fans the fires of class warfare? This is the last person I would want in any sort of governing role.

    The bigger story here though is not Sherod and her dim-witted rantings. It is the fact that the same conspirators that distorted news stories during the 2008 campaign and seriously damaged this nation, are still at it. And when it comes to the Sherod story, they are out in full force.

    Thanks for the link nail49. I started getting suspicious yesterday when some conservative bloggers were starting to criticize Breitbart and the “she’s a victim” shakedown started to play out. To his credit, Mark Levin wasn’t buying into it.

    When I saw how much her Wikipedia page had been upgraded overnight, I realized they had made a huge mistake and actually provided too much info about her, allowing people to start digging into her background. Seems like there is a lot worth digging into. What were her qualifications at USDA and how did a new job “magically” appear for her to be offered.

    One thing that really struck me is that massive amounts of reparations money is being paid out by the U.S. Government, in many guises, all under the name of social justice.
