There’s really only one word to describe what these poor Republican senators are experiencing: holocaust.

Extremely rude and absolutely perfect, Adam.

Pundits David Brooks, George Will and Bill Kristof accused “humorist” Adam Felber of “virulent hate speech” today for an eggregiously satirical blog post.

The generously-complensated opinion-speakers insisted that they, along with Sen. Zell Miller (D. Georgia) had been, metaphorically speaking, slandered, insulted, and blackballed from employment and housing by Felber’s “astoundingly impolite” remarks. They said they feared for their figurative physical safety in the face Felber’s “irresponsibly angry tone.”

Asked about Sen. Miller’s original remarks about the “lynching” of President Bush’s judicial nominees, Mr. Brooks said simply, “he’s a Republican.” Informed that Sen. Miller was in fact nominally a Democrat, Brooks responded, “Oh, shut up and go away before I metaphorically slap you silly.”

Holocaust isn’t nearly serious enough a word.

We’re talking taxes here.

Progressive taxes.

Wow, can this administration pick them or what? Just look at these shining examples of Orwellian linguistics:

> non-confirmation metaphorically equals lynching

>invasion of a weaker country metaphorically equals victory

> tax cuts for the wealthy metaphorically equals sound economic policy

> 30+ hours of filabustering metaphorically equals demonstrating that no work is being done by the senate

and the list goes on and on and on….., metaphorically, ad nauseum.

I don’t know what to find more ridiculous, the media’s constant harping about how liberal the media is, or the endless whining of a political party which controls the executive branch and both arms of the legislative branch about how oppressed and marginalized it is.

Ugh…

“I think Miller is a shameless dickwad”, I wrote, metaphorically giving him a well-deserved spanking and sending him to bed without any supper. Maybe tomorrow he’ll be older and wiser. Well, he’ll be older.

Haven’t we heard this all before? I remember another conservative at a judicial hearing, talking about a high tech lynching. That accusation and Orin Hatch threatening legal action against Anita Hill were all that was necessary to cow a democratic senate into voting for a Supreme Court Justice that many later publicly regretted.

Miller is just another Republican in sheep�s clothing. “And by their votes yea shall know them”

Adam,

It really ticks me off when you go after Democrats like this! How dare you deviate from the party line! You know this makes you a zell-out!
