LGF-the Fail Issue and Attitude From Bitter Gun-Clingers

"To me, the issue is very simple — almost blindingly simple, in fact: openly wishing for political opponents to “FAIL!” is horrendously bad politics." Charles LGF response to Ace of Spades What Has Happened to Little Green Footballs?

So simple I still don't get it. First of all:Politics is a contact sport. Last of all: Politics is a contact sport. What part of CONTACT don't you understand. Wishing your political opponents to "Fail" never bothered Democrats when they Borked Bork or clothesline Clarence Thomas or ridiculed Palin. When Democrats spouted their version of “I want you to fail!” song and dance routine it sure as hell wasn't a giant turn-off to a large segment of the American population. Shoot. You'd think it would have, at the very least cost them the black vote at the sight of the white Senate Judiciary Committee doing the Rodney "can we all get along" King tap dance on Thomas. But no, it sure was not just bad politics — or stupid, self-defeating politics considering who is in the White House now because , of course, The Young Pharaoh ran on a "platform of sheer positive messages.
Wonderful light and love messages like this:

“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them,” Obama said. “And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” Huffington Post
Yead buddy. Bitter church attending Gun clingers like moi will continue to openly wish Obama and his Supreme Court nominee, Puerto Rico's own Sotomayor, the very best “fail” and if that makes us bitter clingers, mean-spirited, negative, and hands ammunition to our political enemies, well, then just get the hell out of our way. I , for one, do not intend to go politely into that dark fascist night when the yankee government lets the common folk own their own business but then dictates the size of your paycheck on Friday. Nope. I am with Ace on this one:

The Young Pharaoh Must Fail.
