Who said outrage is dead

Wonder who Matt will rail against next year? Will it still be Bush?

i wonder if Matt is concerned with the fact that his Speaker of the House was aware of these "crimes against" humanity he so despises, and either chose to ignore it or do nothing against it? I wonder if Matt is concerned with the number of unemployed and homeless people his Savior Obama's Carbon Tax plan will put into the streets when they can't pay their bills and their companies have to shut down.
I am sorry, I don;t know this guy, but have been amused for the past ten years by his social public rantings which are laughing fodder for table discussions.

I'm surprised the guy can spell constitution. How much of what the government controls and wants to control is even in the constitution?

Republicans have been champions of knee-jerk blustering before thinking. I guess this means Larry Craig will have something new to tap his feet.

He'll be tapping your hiney and you'd love every minute of it!

Old yellah,

You excoriated Newt Gingrich for a book deal that resulted in his resignation as Speaker. I assume you will be calling for Obama's resignation, as well. Wouldn't want to be a hypocrite, would you?

Kindly explain how Obama's book deal(s) are in any way like Gingrich's.

To help you along, here is a little piece that analyzes the ins and outs of book deals by pooliticians:

It is no impeachable offense, per se, to have--or to have had-- a "book deal."

Your unexplicated assertions carry no weight at all. Now tell us--just WHAT is allegedly so corrupt about Obama's book deal that would warrant his resigning? In what way is it sufficiently enough like Gingrich's book deal to justify equating the two?

betern nuttin,

The left went into ultra-high dudgeon when Newt signed book deal after becoming Speaker.They claimed he profited from the office and demanded and got his resignation.

Obama signed a book deal for $500,000 which went into effect after he became President.

True, a book deal is not an impeachable offense, neither for a President or a Speaker. Nor, is profiting from the office, in such a manner.

However, what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Why should Obama be held to a lower standard than Newt Gingrich?

My post was for our Old Yellah dog, who excoriated Newt for his book deal on another thread, but refuses to answer my query. I shall hound the dog until he answers.

"Meanwhile, Dick Cheney drummed up a case for war on false confessions gained through torture. A trillion dollars and 30,000 dead and wounded Americans wasted on an inhuman lie: either that is an abomination of tyranny, or there is no such thing as tyranny.

So who said outrage was dead? Outrage is now un-dead: stitched together in right-wing blogs and animated by Rupert Murdoch's necromancers. Then it is set free to shamble about, raising a ruckus and distracting America from actual crimes committed against our Constitution."

You conveniently left out all the Democrats pounding their drums to go to war.

How about Obama spending trillions and overtaking the banking and now the auto makers of GM and Chrysler, who's next?


I'd like to see where this power grab is permissible in the Constitution, all I see is a power grab by Fascist wanna be's of the Democratic Party.

In an answer to the title of the thread, sure outrage is dead. Why not? The very close relative of 'outrage', 'shame' has been dead along time...

Matt is an Olberman wannabe. He conveniently skews the truth to make everything seem worse than it is. Absent a person to hate, he would probably rail against his socks.

Boy is THAT a hanging curveball? I'll let someone else hit it out of the park.

mat osborne? Is that Ozzie's long-lost twin or Super Dave's? Either way, it explains a lot.
