Newest sr WH aide apologizes for comparing R's to Jonestown cult

[tinydancer]

Now this really doesn't surprise me that this is what Podesta and other whacked out progressives think of conservatives and I don't give a flying rat's ass that he gave a hollow apology.

What does continually floor me is that the R leadership in Washington thinks that these people are to be trusted in any way shape or form or that R's stand a snowballs chance in hell of really truly working together with these left wing lunatics.

I wish Boehner and McConnell would finally "get it". I know, I know there's no hope there.

Progressives hate our guts and no matter how much you give them on a platter they are never satiated AND they will still hate us and mock us and deride us and slag us.

Here's the story. And he can take his apology and shove it where the sun don't shine. I don't believe for one minute that he's sorry.

Newest senior White House aide apologizes for comparing Republicans to the murderous 1970s Jonestown cult

John Podesta complained that Democrats are 'facing a second term against a cult worthy of Jonestown in charge of one of the houses of Congress'

Speaker Boehner's spokesman pushed back immediately, bringing a quick apology from the Democratic appointee

The Jonestown mass-suicide killed 900 in 1978 after cultists opened fire on a congressional delegation sent to help their members flee

Podesta is set to come back to the White House as Counselor to the President, following his stint as Bill Clinton's chief of staff

John Podesta, the Obama administration's latest key personnel addition, was forced to apologize to Republicans on Wednesday for a remark that compared them to a murderous cult that killed more than 900 adults and children in 1978.

In an interview conducted before President Obama announced his return to the White House, Podesta told Politico magazine that the president should take a harder line against Republicans who are slowing down Democrats' agenda in the House of Representatives.

'They need to focus on executive action given that they are facing a second term against a cult worthy of Jonestown in charge of one of the houses of Congress,' Podesta told the startup magazine.

I wonder if this has any validity.

If so, it might explain A LOT of the recent puzzling GOP acts and failures to act in recent days!

What does that have to do with the OP, jerk off?

The apology was basically for being caught saying it. I dont doubt that every member of the administration believes what Podesta said. I dont doubt they sit behind closed doors and call House GOP members troglodytes and whackos. Who was it who said he wanted to change the tone in Washington? Yeah, that was a lie too.

Oh great, how long before we're "evil heinous dangerous cults" that must be "removed" from society for the "greater good."

 

[occupied]

The best test of a cult is to look at how they treat heretical behavior. We do not have to look very far for instances where a slight break from the remarkably monolithic belief structure of conservatives results in accusations of RINO and calls for a more pure primary challenger. Orthodoxy breeds cultish behavior and republicans, especially the tea party, are without mercy for those who act with any kind of moderation.

The only reason Obama hired him was because he specializes in political/personal attacks.

Damn, to bad it took so long for the WH to figure out just how fucked up you rethugs really are. And now here come a man who is willing to say it. Fuck his apology. The truth is the truth and now this guy is trying to be politically correct. Screw that.

Guess Obama still has some delusions about being able to work with Rethugs. To bad.

Hard to work with folks you continually insult.

Imagine John Kerry negotiating with Israel and calling them filthy Hymies.

Let's ask Joe Lieberman about that.

 

[bitterlyclingin]

Tip of the iceberg. Podesta apologized but he still meant every word.

Podesta's not there to help Obama with his Green Agenda as mediamatters and the rest of the Leftmedia would have you believe, Podesta is there because he's an expert in the use of the Executive Order ieThe recent court ruling that Obama's use of Executive Privilige to keep secret the contents of a Foreign Aid Directive Obama issued some time ago was declared illicit. Some folks theorize that Podesta's presence in the White House is the prelude to Obama's issuance of secret law via Executive Order, laws not published, violations of which are only determined by Obama's sleuths and snoops in the NSA. This Santa Claus really and truly wants to determine who's been naughty, and who's been nice-to him! It helps when it comes time for Obama to hand out the goodies and the favors to his UAW friends, his passel of pervert followers and the likes of Jesse jackson, Al Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright and their followers as well as the newly resurrected ACORN.

Oh, yeah, Podesta was the head of the Soros funded Center for American Progress. Odd that two Soros funded operations would now be firmly embedded in the WhiteHouse, mediamatters. com which handles all of the White House news releases and talking points release is also Soros funded. Soros, now has three of his many tentacles ensnarling the American people.

Mediamatters head David Brock was immediately pounding out a letter to CBS News demanding that newswoman Lara Logan be suspended and the contents of her Benghazi Special publicly retracted seconds before the program closed.

When you see the first robin alight on a snow covered branch on a bright, sunny early March day, you know that Spring cannot be far behind. Podesta's arrival inside 1600 Pennsylvania means that Obama's High Crimes and Misdeamenor Time also cannot be far behind.

Yes, a mouthpiece for those who would not be king for long...

 

[FJO]

Apology should NOT be accepted.

Resignation should be demanded and enforced.

 

[Katzndogz]

Podesta is a Clinton administration veteran. If you don't like him, what does that say about Hillary.

 

[depotoo]

It amazes me that this man's comments go relatively unspoken of, yet Duck Dynasty, that doesn't have a thing to do with our government and how it is run, has pages upon pages.

If someone on the right in a GOP administration had been hired, that said the same of Dems this would be front headline news for days until that individual were to resign.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Are you geniuses not aware that the expression 'drinking the Koolaid' is a direct reference to the Jonestown mass suicide?

So all of you rightwing nuts who have accused liberals of drinking the Koolaid should now apologize for such a heinous remark.

I have to admit, you have a point. I was wondering what context he could possibly have been speaking in, but I guess this makes a bit of sense.

On that note, the truth is that there are just as many cultist mentality Democrats. But we in the GOP have allowed the wrong people on our side to speak out the loudest. I hope that Boehner keeps working to take back the reigns from the CINO-RINOs.

Drinking the Kool-Aid is not a new expression. And just about everyone knows the implications. It is supposed to describe the irrational practice of following self-destructive cults, similar to progressivism.

 

[depotoo]

is there truly so little disdain over Podesta's comments, Obama's newest senior-level adviser?
“They need to focus on executive action given that they are facing a second term against a cult worthy of Jonestown in charge of one of the houses of Congress,”
and this worrisome last tidbit to the statement he made -
“I think [White House officials] were naturally preoccupied with legislating at first, and I think it took them a while to make the turn to execution. They are focused on that now,” Podesta added. “They have to realize that the president has broad authority, that he’s not just the prime minister. He can drive a whole range of action. They always grasped that on foreign policy and in the national security area. Now they are doing it on the domestic side.”

No reason to compromise with pigs like you kid.
