The remarks of former Sen. Jack Danforth reveal a fractured Missouri Republican party still in mourning and plagued by vicious infighting.
This morning our blog community spoke of this and now it's new fact.
Take a look:
STL Post-Dispatch: Danforth, in eulogy, decries 'whispering campaign' against Schweich
Washington Post: Jack Danforth’s eulogy for Missouri’s late auditor is a powerful call to repair politics
ABC News: Danforth Cites Political Bullying in Schweich Eulogy
TPM: Ex-US Senator Calls Out Missouri GOP Leader During Funeral: 'Words Can Kill'
STL Post-Dispatch Full Text: Danforth's eulogy for Tom Schweich: 'Words do hurt. Words can kill.'
Here's the stunning conclusion:
"The campaign that led to the death of Tom Schweich was the low point of politics, and now it’s time to turn this around. So let’s make Tom’s death a turning point here in our state.
"Let’s decide that what may have been clever politics last week will work no longer. It will backfire. It will lose elections, not win them.
"Let’s pledge that we will not put up with any whisper of anti-Semitism. We will stand against it as Americans and because our own faith demands it. We will take the battle Tom wanted to fight as our own cause.
"We will see bullies for who they are. We will no longer let them hide behind their anonymous pseudo-committees. We will not accept their way as the way of politics. We will stand up to them and we will defeat them."
And before you even start . . . TKC is a blog community, not a committee and we were never really interested in Schweich until after he was dead or when we hoped he would audit the Water Dept. and our Free Speech Forum could no longer do him any harm. Also, it's worth noting here and then probably not again . . . There are a lot of people in our blog community who STILL don't believe this was a suicide.

I have no doubt that bad people will continue to slander and libel Katheryn Shields as she launches her political comeback. I hope the voters punish them.

ReplyDeleteLMAO!
It's not really a community. But we do enjoy annoying the hell out of people who deserve it.
ReplyDeleteWhat do the Sikh's think?
ReplyDeleteSo... There are anti-Semites in the world; therefore I shall kill myself. Hmmm. I haven't had these thoughts myself but, I guess, some have.
ReplyDeleteJohn Danforth, Dean of the Vatterott College of republicaneeze, even wore his bib. That just kills me.
ReplyDeleteThis is the end of the tea party. Koch
ReplyDeleteBrothers caught more that a fly in the ointment
i've always said that the only way for the Democrats to win is if the Republicans kill themselves. At least that's the case in MIssouri.
ReplyDeleteWorse case of suicide I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteDanforth is as irrelevant as Jimmy Carter and just about as conservative. Fuck this old RINO.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is why your Republican party is dying badly. Unless you're a rabid birther/teabagger/angry white buying into the Limbaugh talking points, you're not welcome. Thank Rush for narrowing the ideological definition of your party to only include assholes.
DeleteCouldn't have said it better myself, 4:50!
DeleteSure 4:50, keep licking the liberal ass. I will guess you got a check today, you are welcome.
ReplyDeleteHmm. Vulgarity, labels, rinse, repeat. Yawn.
DeleteAnd, by the way, thanks for so perfectly exemplifying the demographic I mentioned. :)
DeleteDon't worry, politicians are fucked up. They aren't going to Heaven. I fuck'em in the ass and send them to my pal Lucifer with my heavenly juice running out their ass so they can burn in hell forever.
ReplyDeleteFALLING STAR UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs called for in this blog comment space weeks ago, today The McClatchy Co., parent to the KC Star, reached our first target of $2.25 by closing Tuesday at $2.24/share.
The McClatchy Company (MNI)
-NYSE
2.24 Down 0.08(3.45%) 4:02PM EST
Our remaining target stands just below, at $2.13, the low from the week of April 28, 2013. Needless to say, if this level fails to provide support, then MNI could once again become a sub-$1.00 stock.
For a company that carries roughly ONE BILLION in debt, with a diminishing business model, with a falling stock price, and with the burden of the Star's Editorial Board.....things don't look bright!!!!!

ReplyDeleteDanforth is an ordained minister asshole
How do Roe, Paddock and the other trolls at Axiom sleep at night? Who but the Republican Party would have Sarah Palin in their line up of speakers? All she does is meanspirited sarcasm. Sad thing is tomorrow it's business as usual for the GOP.
ReplyDeleteDan Who?
