Bi-Polar Ghost speaks for the Democratic Party? Shocked

Or is "Democrat" just the adjective you automatically prefix to any lefty BS?

Wonder how conservatives would react if I went around quoting stuff Gunga said and calling it "more Republican BS"...

Who do you think came up with that--and who do you think forwards it as legitimate?

"Democrats" rounds it up well. Formerly, when the party was led by normal people--I wouldn't affix such a crazy claim to the party. These days, the lunatics are completely in charge of the asylum--and I give the party credit for its majority--and their psychotic machinations.

Or....yeah. These days, BPB does speak for the Democrat party.

Could you link or quote us any Democratic spokesperson or politician who "forwarded" the theory BiPolar Bear's Ghost came up with here?

Like, any - whatsoever?

Nope, not me. It would be a little hysterical, wouldnt it?

I asked:

Lash linked to:

A blog post by Bob "Traitor" Fertik (thats what his avatar says).

If that name doesnt ring a bell, dont worry - he's one of the bloggers over at Democrats.com, the website for "The Aggressive Progressives".

So, note - Bob Fertik is not a Democratic spokesperson nor a politician; he holds no function within the Democratic Party, as far as can be told.

Neither, in fact, is Democrats.com itself affiliated with the party: its self-description is "an independent community of Democratic activists, which is not controlled by the Democratic Party".

In fact, Fertik's blog proudly boasted how Democrats.com sponsored a march down DC to "Deliver a Spine to DNC Headquarters!"

So, basically, the logic here is that if Gunga turned out to be a regular poster on a blog of far-right Republican activists, that would make any theory he spouts there "more desperate Republican BS".

Lash, seriously:

Yeah. I read a couple of blogs and Democrats.com and you're still trying to say it isn't Democrats running this show...? How quaint.

It's Democrats. You can try to turn my comments into some more narrow interpretation--uh, well, if it's not Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, holding hands, speaking in unison dressed as Asses--their appropriate party mascot--then it's not the Democrat Party...

Good luck selling that ****. It ain't selling here.

Democrats are whipping up this ridiculous BS.

"Dorothy Dixers" (I think Squinney asked what they are?) are questions asked in parliament during question time (a sterling institution democracies using the Westminster System) of government ministers by their own side, or someone in a party which is sympathetic to the government on a particular issue, aimed at allowing the government to blow its own trumpet.

Very odd behaviour by the press, I would have thought.

Hey, you said BPB "does speak for the Democratic Party".

So I asked a straightforward enough question:

I gather from your response you couldn't find any? Not a single Democratic spokesperson or politician who "forwarded" this theory? No Senator, no Congressman, no Governor, no DNC person, no spokesperson - noone, whatsoever?

Just some activist bloggers railing against the DNC? And how, exactly, do they "speak for the Democratic Party"?

Hey, lemme see whether I get the logic.

When Tom Coburn, elected as Republican candidate for the Senate in Oklahoma, said that those who perform abortions should be subject to the death penalty, or when he warns against the "rampant lesbianism in schools" where "they'll only let one girl go to the bathroom" nowadays, he does not speak for the Republicans.

When Jim DeMint, elected as Republican candidate for the Senate in South Carolina, said that abortion should be outlawed and prosecuted even in case of rape and incest, or when he said that "a practicing homosexual" or "a single woman who is pregnant and living with her boyfriend" "should not be teaching in our schools", he does not speak for the Republicans.

When Alan Keyes, Republican candidate for the Senate in Illinois -- ahh, lets not even go there.

Vice versa, when Phil Bredesen is elected two times in a row as the Democratic mayor of Nashville and subsequently twice as the Democratic Governor of Tennessee, with record-breaking popularity ratings of 63 to 72 percent, he does not stand for the Democrats - no, according to Lash he's just "a no-name".

But when Bob Fertik, an activist blogger on a website of "aggressive progressives" railing against the DNC, who holds no formal position in the party whatsoever, implies that Bush and Gannon did the dirty, then yes, of course - he does speak for the Democratic Party.

Did I get that about right?

dlowan - Glad to have that explanation of Dorothy Dixers. We have a mental hospital here by that name so

1) I was hoping it wasn't so well known as to be one you knew by name and

2) we don't need reporters interviewing anyone there no matter which party they don't represent! Shocked

(especially when some of the patients probably believe in ghosts)

the apparent new definitions of;

"democrat"...
any person who does not whole heartedly embrace every single nook and cranny of the bush presidency.

"radical leftist";
see above.

"democracy, freedom and free speech"...
good for other countries, but not good for america.

yawwwnnnnnnnn....

I'm glad I'm the only person that has answered what the thread was about in the first place. Instead of this silly semantics of who or what represents the Dem party.

If none of you support the dem party and none of the people who write for these blogs represent the dem party, then can we officially say that Coulter, Limbaugh, and O'Reilly don't represent the Rep party?

Dorothy Dix was the pseudonym used by the writer of a "help" column in a woman's magazine. The sort of column which takes the form of letters from readers and a reply from the columnist. Of course the letters are composed by the columnist and provide a vehicle for pushing an agenda.

Agreed , but can we also say that they, unashamedly and with extreme bias, support it.

Then the same can be said for the people mentioned that support the Dems in their blogs and columns.
