Fun times!

An additional story by Matthew Boyle, the website's Washington editor, went after Spicer for "inaccurately" claiming the bill "fully repeals Obamacare."

"We are Breitbart," Boyle wrote in a Slack conversation about his story, according to a screenshot obtained by Business Insider. "This is war."

Boyle added: "There are no sacred cows in war."

And going back a couple of weeks:

According to the two sources, Bannon was so furious he phoned Boyle after the publication of the story and unloaded on him. Boyle had not sought to notify Bannon he was publishing the story in advance, the sources said.

Bannon further aggravated Boyle that week when he instructed him not to publish additional articles critical of Priebus, prompting the Washington editor to tell others Bannon had betrayed Breitbart and was guilty of "treason," according to a source.

Were I not so dismayed and terrified I would think this is delicious.

Purist/activist gadflies are angry with someone who is in the arena actually trying to do stuff. This person-in-the-arena lashes backward at his former comrades in gadflydom, for (being in the arena) he must sometimes make compromises, sometimes lay down with strange bedpriebuses, and sometimes make less-than-ideal deals as incremental steps on the way to purist glory.

irl lol at "bedpriebuses."

You're going to see a lot of love. Okay? Thank you. (Dan Peterson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 21:59 (seven years ago) link

priebuses is too close to proboscis for my liking

priebus' proboscis

since i played a role in spreading false (FAKE?) information here and on facebook, i should try to contain it a little.

the pete sessions-sponsored bill with the terrible title (the World's Greatest Healthcare Plan of 2017) was NOT the one that the current GOP legislation is modeled on. Instead, Ryan and co. modeled their legislation on Tom Price's bill ("Empowering Patients First Act").

good link, thanks

This Beetbort battle is fantastic, and exactly what I'd expect from people who always need an Other to scapegoat. There's no real loyalty within this tribe, and shit like this was bound to happen once the rebellious firebrands became the establishment they'd railed so hard against. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of folks.

Dem opposition to this bill is total. None of them support it (not even Manchin) and in the House they are actively obstructing the bill by forcing procedural votes and delaying its progress.

yeah but they haven't beaten anybody up yet

if only liberals were less condescending to conservatives

reggie (qualmsley), Thursday, 9 March 2017 02:45 (seven years ago) link

The Democratic and liberal establishment have no credibility whatsoever at this point, so why are people surprised at how little they're able to accomplish? The only coalitions I've seen the Dems hold are "holy shit the Republicans are even worse," and "I'm comfortable, so let's keep this up."

Take this for an example. The DNC had Lena Dunham as one of their speakers. She's a greasy, shameless child molester who's only on the public radar because she was born into wealth and influence. Where do you think that insane Pizzagate stuff comes from? The Dems do themselves no favors whatsoever with the way they behave, they are so disconnected from ethics, morality, and decency that nobody gives a shit what they think or do at this point. And they're just fine with it! They hire operatives to attack other Democrats who even question this kind of stuff and it further alienates their support--that's how out of touch they are, and how little they care about it. Their bones have become fragile from sitting on plush couches for too long, and use corrupt money to kill the opposition.

And these are the people who are the alternatives to the Republicans. What the fuck happened?

larry appleton, Thursday, 9 March 2017 02:46 (seven years ago) link

Again w the lena dunham bullshit

Οὖτις, Thursday, 9 March 2017 02:51 (seven years ago) link

Yeah again, because it's important. "Lol what's he talking about", and then later you see it used as an effective weapon used against the Dems.

larry appleton, Thursday, 9 March 2017 02:53 (seven years ago) link

See, Dems have no fucking clue how to do anything

many xps to qualmsley's propublica link: whoa that whole post is nuts

Jon Perdue, a self-described guerrilla warfare expert and fellow at a little-known security think tank, wrote a book called “The War of All the People: The Nexus of Latin American Radicalism and Middle Eastern Terrorism.” He is also a onetime contributor to Breitbart.

Perdue was featured on CNBC’s reality series “Make Me a Millionaire Inventor” for his invention, the Packbow, which Perdue came up with while studying “collapsed societies, and what people who lived in those societies came up with to either defend themselves or to survive.” It’s a bow and arrow that doubles as a compass, tent pole, walking stick, spearfishing rig, and water purification tablet receptacle.

Perdue was hired as a special assistant at the Treasury Department. The agency didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

xp to shit that reads like an onion article. THE PACKBOW!

The Democratic and liberal establishment have no credibility whatsoever at this point

damn Democrats and their Spin Doctors concerts

This is basic public relations stuff, it's not rocket science. The denial of its simplicity is just arrogance, greed, and carelessness. You think people like the whole "yeah, we don't give a fuck about you or your values" stuff? Great way to ingratiate yourself to the public.

larry appleton, Thursday, 9 March 2017 03:06 (seven years ago) link
