Sounds like she described ‘childish’ behaviour, eh?
On the basis of this, I understand she is now qualified to serve as a conservative spokesperson for ABCNNBCBS and their dead-tree fellow travelers? Should CBC be added to that string as well? Or is there not any cross-border synchronization?
I remember Bill Clinton saying something similar, although he seemed to use it as an excuse for childish behaviour in the face of criticism – hey, it’s not their fault! They’re not used to be picked on!
IMO Kirsten Powers has had an political epiphany of sorts over the last year or two. Towards the election, she was constantly in agreement with Sean Hannity; especially regarding the “war on women”. KP is one of the Democrat pundits on FOXNews, and you can usually expect an ingenuous answer from her; not the disingenuous answers you typically get from the other Dem pundits.
All of that said, I have some empathy for her; as she feeds herself(and her family I suppose) by being a Democrat pundit. In other words, IMO it’s VERRRYYYY risky for her to ever buck the Leftist Dogma, and I suspect that even if she did vote for Romney, she cannot say it; nor, can she change sides, as it would likely end her employability.
This woman may be a Democrat, but I think she’s one of “us”. “Us” being someone who is genuinely concerned about her country, and the people’s wellbeing; unlike her peers, who have evil in their hearts, and socialism on their minds. There are still a few good Democrats left. JMO
They have to be sensitive and intolerant.
Their arguments are ultimately indefensible, so they have to resist going to discussion mode at any cost.
Better to stick fingers in ears, close eyes and repeat “na-na-na-na-na-na”…
Paraphrase – it’s better to avoid discussion and be thought a fool, than to engage in discussion and remove all doubt.
This is news?
The mark of a good liberal, is their intellectual barrenness.
Hypocrisy is their name.
The profound wisdom of liberals, is called blather by productive people, and is ignored.
Liberals assume silence to be agreement, good manners as fear and are incapable of seeing that even a coin has two sides.
Which is why they go into shock, horror and fear when called on their BS.
The name calling that is their signature feature is a throwback to when our ancestors used to throw faeces.
Fortunately for human civilization, most children grow up and abandon the fallacies of youth.
One way to deal with this Captcha, is to hit preview until I can read the symbols.
I have no idea who Kirsten Powers is or what makes her left of center.
I do know that most liberals I meet p!ss me off one way or another.
well duh…
Indiana Homez, I have noticed that also. I also suspect that she is not alone in being disconcerted by the radical left agenda that has taken hold in Washington.
But on the other hand, I piss off every liberal that I meet one way or another. I call them on their BS and use facts , logic, and reason to argue my points. It usually ends with them having a tantrum and name calling. Most of them claim to be tolerant but are really only tolerant to terrorists, welfare bums, and other assorted useless human garbage. If you are responsible, self reliant, and employed full time the left will hate you for some illogical, ideological reason. Just confirms that most of them are mentally ill.
Robert L, you use Facts & Logic to debate a Leftist? Wow, you have more energy than most of us do!
I hope you have a “I’m not a racist just because I might disagree with you!” t-shirt on while you’re talking with such oxygen-deprived “braniacs”!
Yeah, they are usually very short debates. Especially if I’m talking to an in-your-face militant vegan.
And the truth comes out!
Yes, leftist/liberals are thin-skinned and monopolise not just the popular press but practically anything else. Who doesn’t like an echo chamber? It relates to their self-worth. If they think everyone agrees with them, they can live happily and gradually take over people’s lives.
Yeah, and with Clinton in the bullpen, America is about to be squeezed for every ounce of life, and every red cent it’s got.
NEO-CON is a term coined by the liberal democraps of yesteryear to describe a democrat such as Powers. Years ago many democrats were to the rite of many of Canada’s (progressive) conservatives, now the democrat party has been hijacked by the like of Harry (mormon) Ried, Nancy (catholic) Pelosi, and such mentally unstable idiots!!!
Kristan was getting the little weiner in her relationsahip with
Anthony Weiner. She now feels vulnerable. Where are the pictures?

Logic does work on lefties….sometimes even in multiples…though they seem to rely on numbers.
The reason they tolerate terrorists is simple…fear.
I encountered a large loud one at the doctor’s office….doing the brow-beating “everyone believes crap”….I appealed to his logic….I quietly told him it was easier to walk with knees….he went and sat down quietly like a good lil’ boy.
Like I say….lefties don’t enlist in the infantry.

Lefties love to dismiss the right’s point of view by saying things like “if you thin like that you’re outside main-stream America”. Like “most folks don’t think that way”. Another thing they do – and this is what really pisses me off – when right thinkers comment about “African Americans” or “hispanics”, without fail, out comes the race card.
They use these tactics to stiffle legitimate political debate. Many Black folks in Congress are especially adepth at using the race card. The main-stream media not lets them get away with it – it actually take part in that whole narative. What they don’t seems to get is that it is the Democratic party that practices the “racism of low expectations”.
In her defense, pretty much everyone is close minded and intolerant. (Including me)
