Side note:
on Hillary
"At Rose, she worked on intellectual property law"

To do that, she would have to have a degree in engineering or science and I don’t think she does. Intellectual Property Law is Patent Law!

Not close enough. JimK

What would you do if your pollster told you that you have only six months left with huge congressional majorities? How would you spend your time? Would you try to improve your chances of recovery or take out your bucket list -- the dream items you've always wanted to pass but never had the time to try -- knowing this could be your last chance to make them a reality?

Those are the questions facing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the White House as they map out the rest of the 2010 legislative calendar and see foreboding mid-term elections waiting for them in November. It's all but certain that Democrats will lose a lot of seats in Congress, making the job of passing their top priorities all the more difficult as time goes on.

maybe one of them made a sign that Graham saw

here's a video of Betty White calling Palin a "crazy bitch":

Anon, if I don't see some evidence that any liberal at any time in history has ever carried a sign or uttered a statement saying that "Palin is a Nazi Bitch," I am deleting the comment in ten minutes. That's granting an extension of fifteen minutes past what I said.

Let me repeat this. You posted a comment here, pretending it was your writing. You talked about liberals carrying "Palin is a Nazi Bitch" signs. Do you have any evidence that that has actually happened?

no problem, Jim

it was Michael Graham in the Boston Herald:

http://www.bostonherald.com/news/opinion/op_ed/view/20100413let_the_party_begin/

from the context, I don't think I'd assume he actually saw such a sign but was just trying to conjure an example of the kind of thing he's talking about

I think he's just saying, the reaction to Palin is as extreme as what her detractors are decrying

agree or not with Palin, but you have to admit Graham has a point

Anon, I don't know where you copy and pasted that from -- can you please show us a link to a picture of someone with a "Palin is a Nazi bitch" sign, or a quote where someone says they heard someone say that?

I will have to put some kinds of limits on the flexibility of the truth in these comments. If there is some substance to what you say, I won't delete your comment.

Please support it with links. It's noon now. If there is no support by one, it's gone.

2010-04-13T11:36:45.408-04:00

"Come to Boston Common tomorrow morning when Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Express roll into town. What I’m really looking forward to is seeing the gathering of hate-spewing, anger-crazed lunatics.

Or as they’re more commonly known, “Massachusetts liberals.”

What - you think the Tea Partiers are angry? You obviously haven’t picked up the latest copy of the Weekly Dig, a local “progressive” publication that invited readers to design signage to welcome Palin and push back against Tea Party hate speech.

Among the signs published are several featuring a word very similar to “witch,” a couple of swastikas, a Hitler mustache and - in an odd move by anti-Second-Amendment liberals - one with an American flag, a bleeding tea bag and numerous bullet holes.

Stay classy, Boston liberals!

The problem with Palin is that, as everyone knows, she’s stupid.

For example, she didn’t support President Obama’s $860 billion stimulus which has created so many great jobs . . .

She ignorantly opposed the Obama administration’s decision to try 9/11 terrorists in Manhattan . . .

She made the idiotic claim that Obamacare would raise taxes on those less than $200,000 . . .

Anyway, Palin and the Tea Party movement are nothing but name-calling dolts, and so the only responsible, progressive thing to do when they come to Boston is to show up at their rally, wave idiotic signs and call them names.

No, really. According to several “progressive” Web sites, local libs are organizing to do just that on the Common tomorrow. “Nitwit central is headed our way, Boston,” warns one left-wing site bemoaning the “hatred being generated” by Tea Party protests. The Web site is urging followers to make their own signs parroting the “extremism” liberals expect to find there. So if you see a wildly offensive racist sign in downtown Boston - thank a liberal!

Why don’t supporters of Obamacare, the stimulus and other failed policies just have their own rally supporting their ideas? Other than because, well, they haven’t actually worked, I mean?

Because that’s not good enough for our irate liberals. Palin is “bringing her big hair . . . and legion of racist militia members to Boston,” complains bostonist.com. Another online site screams “We can’t allow Sarah to take a big Alaskan Husky dump in our back yard!”

Like I said, “classy.”

The goal here, as it’s been from the beginning of Team Obama’s assault on the Tea Party movement, is to intimidate concerned citizens into silence. But it’s not going to work.

Voters and taxpayers are going to show up tomorrow and keep doing what we’ve been doing for a year now: Make arguments and ask questions. How do the economics of Obamacare make sense? Who’s going to pay the $3 trillion in new debt? Why should we tell our enemies in advance when we will or won’t use nukes?

And the left will keep responding with insults instead of answers. But at least they’re entertaining. There’s nothing funnier than a liberal protesting right-wing hate by waving a “Palin Is A Nazi Bitch” sign."

I say, "why not?"

She's probably more centrist than anyone else Obama is likely to nominate and, at her age, she'll have a relatively short term:

"(April 12) -- Even in a town full of heady resumes, Hillary Rodham Clinton's stands out. The secretary of state is, of course, a former presidential candidate, U.S. senator and first lady. Now she may be in the running for yet another impressive seat: U.S. Supreme Court justice.

Speaking about the possible names floated to replace outgoing Justice John Paul Stevens, Hatch said on NBC's "Today" show this morning: "I heard the name Hillary Rodham Clinton today, and that would be an interesting person in the mix. I happen to like Hillary Rodham Clinton. I think she's done a good job for Democrats in her secretary of state position." Hatch, R-Utah, is a longstanding member and former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is in charge of the confirmation hearings process for federal judicial nominees.

Clinton is an experienced lawyer, graduating with honors from Yale Law School in 1973 and going on to a professorship at the University of Arkansas School of Law and advising the House Judiciary Committee on proceedings related to the Watergate scandal.

In 1977, she joined the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Ark., the third oldest law firm in the country, later becoming its first female partner. At Rose, she worked on intellectual property law and children's rights, helping to establish the group Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. The next year, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the board of the Legal Services Corp., "the single largest provider of civil legal aid for the poor in the nation." In 1988, the National Law Journal named her one of the country's "100 Most Influential Lawyers," a distinction she received again in 1991."
