What a title: “Grim Democrats await huge House losses.” Not nearly as much as we are, of course: but they’re frantically counting up their likely losses, and forecasting fifty to seventy (which means, obviously, that we need to increase that to seventy to ninety). At this point, the consensus seems to be among a variety of remaining-nameless professional Democrats that everyone in the House within the margin of error is going to lose to the Republican nominee. These people are on the verge of watching a large percentage of their client list – and in many cases, friends and members of their social circle – be thrown out of work right in the middle of one of the most toxic employment environments in recent history. And they’ve been fighting it for a year and nothing worked.
Now, some of you (more of you, I suspect, than are willing to admit it) read the paragraph above, read the article that it links to, and then started to feel… pity. Or empathy, because it happened to you in 2006 and 2008. Or merely a natural desire to not kick someone when they are down. And those are laudable impulses to have. But before you act on those impulses with regard to these professional Democrats, please remember this:
- These people told their clients to say that you hate African-Americans.
- These people told their clients to say that you hate Latinos.
- These people told their clients to say that you hate gays.
- These people told their clients to say that you hate women.
- These people told their clients to say that you hate Jews.
- These people told their clients to say that you hate Muslims.
- These people told their clients to say that you hate the poor.
- These people told their clients to say that you hate America.
Shall I continue?
- These people told their clients to say that you were fascists.
- These people told their clients to say that you were theocrats.
- These people told their clients to say that you were stupid.
- These people told their clients to say that you were uneducated.
- These people told their clients to say that you were hatemongers.
- These people told their clients to say that you were insane.
- These people told their clients to say that you were violent extremists.
I can keep this going for quite a while, you know.
- These people told their clients to call you unpatriotic.
- These people told their clients to call you cowards.
- These people told their clients to mock you at every opportunity.
- These people told their clients to deliberately use a sexual slur when referring to you.
- These people told their clients to trivialize and dismiss your concerns at every opportunity.
And now these professional Democrats are sad because they’re going to lose. Well, they deserve to lose. Because they’re bad people. And because the entire point of the United States of America is to make sure that bad people lose. So go vote on Tuesday, and make as many bad people as possible lose.
Righteously.

The sad thing, tho’, is that even though the bad people have righteously lost, we will still have to pay their pension benefits. Forever…
Damned straight, Moe! I don’t feel the slightest twinge of empathy or pity for these soulless schmucks. These are exACTLY the type of people who should be kicked when they’re down. And I intend to keep kicking until they are utterly dispirited and bereft of any hope that their tyrannical version of government will EVER be in power again.
Just posted a link to this piece on Babalu Blog. It should be required reading for the next 48 hours…
It would be wonderful to have links to the appropriate MSM articles documenting each and every one of those claims.
@ Southern Man:
Some of them, documented over at Bookworm Room,

Oh, and here are two from Powerline. In the first, the President encourages people to go Heckle “the other side”, because they “aren’t interested in funding global AIDS”. By the way, President Bush funded AIDS prevention, mostly in Africa, to the tune of $15 billion.

In the second, the MSM is trying to figure out if they could find a registered sex offender at a Joe Miller rally, and turn that into “Joe miller has a child molester as a campaign worker” story.

And, of course, here is Rachel Maddow, saying that a republican congressman was so close to the militia movement, that he got advance warning about the Oklahoma City bombing…

The word Schadenfreude comes to mind, not pity.
Just heard Rush read this on the air! BOOYA!
Pity them? Ya. Like one should pity a bully. Like one should pity any tyrant or oppressor.
Compassion, maybe. And you know, in the spirit of compassion, the toxicity in the souls of these people cannot begin to heal until they are made to face the consequences of their speech and actions. Like a drug addict at an intervention, they must be made to face the harm they have done to others, before they can begin to grasp how far off the rails they have permitted themselves to go. Only then can they begin to grasp how far they have gone, what they need to do to return to the mainstream. Including atone anmd apologize (which step in the 12 is that one again?) Until then, tough love.
November 2, 2010. No remorse. No pity. And I will not stop voting over the next two to six years until every last one of these f***ers is gone. And not even then.
