Left-Wing Daily Kos: “American Dream Worse Than "AIDS"

The left has completely lost touch with mainstream America. They now think the "American Dream" is worse than "AIDS." They should be happy with President Obama. He has been busy destroying the "American Dream."

(Newsbusters)- How much do the bloggers of the Daily Kos hate conservatism and the limited-government ideas that informed America’s founding? They associate them with Satan…and with disease. Blogger Kevin Tully is really angry about the election returns and wondered if “all of us, [are] being played like one huge, oxygen starved, exhausted, gullible fish? Is the destruction of the environment and civil society absolutely necessary to maintain the “American Dream?” He suggested on Thursday that the American Dream is a deadly disease we spread globally:

The “American Dream” is a worldwide viral phenomenon – with many more potentially dire consequences than AIDS or Avian Flu. We have exported this thing from one end of the earth to the other – it’s like the gifted puppy that can never be housetrained, it grows up, still, so cute and familiar – your proud of your gift, it craps on the floor and tears down the curtains – it’s [sic] new owners overlook the crap; the dog is so cute – however, you can’t get over the crap and torn curtains when you visit.

Landrieu Blames ABC Report of $100 Million Buy-off on 'Very Partisan Republican Bloggers' (video)

Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., announced she would support the cloture vote to start debate on Harry Reid's version of Obamacare. This is not surprising considering the $100 million buy-off Harry Reid put in the bill to buy encourage her to vote yes. She blames Republican bloggers for the story and denies that only Louisiana will receive the money.



Analysts disagree with Landrieu's assessment.

From Newsbusters:

But Landrieu's assertion that "any other state" would be eligible isn't completely honest, as Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer pointed out on Fox News Nov. 20.

"If you look at the sections, it is 2006 in which the Louisiana money, it looks as if it is provision for all states which have had a proclamation of a disaster area in the last seven years, and then the fine print inside eliminates all the others except Louisiana," Krauthammer said.

NOLA.com reports Landrieu is claiming Louisiana is getting $300 million in Medicare money.

Landrieu was able to insert language into the bill that would specifically benefit Louisiana, by protecting the state from the full effects of what the Jindal administration has warned would be a devastating drop in federal Medicaid funding in 2011 due to an anomalous spike in per capita income in the state because of a rush of recovery money into the state in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

The Congressional Budget Office priced the so-called FMAP fix for Louisiana at $100 million, but Landrieu said she expects it will bring $300 million or more in Medicaid funding to the state.

Leftist MSM Attack Internet Over Van Jones Resignation

After doing their best to ignore the brewing controversy around now resigned Green Czar Anthony Van Jones, the leftist mainstream media have found their throats. They are outraged over the Internet. They don't like anyone doing the job they won't.

NBC's Meet The Press Attack The Internet & Bloggers


From the video:

"the open sewer of internet disinformation"

They fail to notice Van Jones wasn't taken out by what internet bloggers said. He was taken out by his own statements via video.
