Democratic hysteria on display:

-------------------------
A Helpful Roundup of the Democrats New Tone During the Debt Debate (Updated) John on July 28, 2011 at 5:11 pm

One can always find unhinged rhetoric in the fever swamps of Huff Post or the Democratic Underground. But in the last week or so, progressive politicians and their top media allies have really brought it to a new level. I decided it was time to put together a little list:

  • Rep. Nancy Pelosi – “We’re trying to save life on this planet as we know it today.”
  • Rep. Nancy Pelosi – “They want to destroy your rights.”
  • Sen. Harry Reid – “The time for ideological extremism should end.”
  • Rep. Rangel – “These people don’t care about our country.”
  • Comm. Director Dan Pfeiffer – “…could potentially put us towards a depression because House Republicans…are unwilling to compromise.”
  • DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz – “This is almost like dictatorship.”
  • Rep. Garamendi (D-CA) – “They basically want to terminate the American Dream.”
  • Rachel Maddow Show – “shameless, craven, unprincipled, partisan hackery”
  • Tom Friedman – “If sane Republicans do not stand up to this Hezbollah faction in their midst, the Tea Party will take the G.O.P. on a suicide mission.”
  • Rep. Hoyer – “They want to shoot every bullet they have at the president.”
  • Van Jones – “They want to repeal the 20th century. They want to smash down every American institution our grandparents fought for…”
  • Joe Klein in Time – “Osama bin Laden, if he were still alive, could not have come up with a more clever strategy for strangling our nation.”
  • Steve Rattner on MSNBC – “It’s a form of economic terrorism…These Tea Party guys are like strapped with dynamite standing in the middle of Times Square at rush hour saying either you do it my way or we’re going to blow you up, ourselves up, and the whole country with us.”
  • Paul Krugman in NY Times – “Republicans have, in effect, taken America hostage…”
  • William Yeomans at Politico – “they have now become full-blown terrorists. They have joined the villains of American history who have been sufficiently craven to inflict massive harm on innocent victims to achieve their political goals.”
These are all in the last week. I’m sure I’ve missed a few. Leave me a hint in the comments and I’ll add them.
