No Joke: Republicans Told Not To Attack Obama…
Someone needs to have the head examined at the RNC.
(Yahoo! News) — Republicans on a private Republican National Committee conference call with allies warned Tuesday that party surrogates should refrain from personal attacks against President Barack Obama, because such a strategy is too hazardous for the GOP.
“We’re hesitant to jump on board with heavy attacks” personally against President Obama, Nicholas Thompson, the vice president of polling firm the Tarrance Group, said on the call. “There’s a lot of people who feel sorry for him.”
Recent polling data indicates that while the president suffers from significantly low job approval ratings, voters still give “high approval” to Obama personally, Thompson said.
Voters “don’t think he’s an evil man who’s out to change the United States” for the worse — even though many of the same survey respondents agree that his policies have harmed the country, Thompson said. The upshot, Thompson stressed, is that Republicans should “exercise some caution” when talking about the president personally.
On the call — which Yahoo News was invited to attend because of a mistake by someone on the staff of the Republican National Committee — Ari Fleischer, the former press secretary for George W. Bush, encouraged Republicans to turn around Democratic attacks lobbed at the GOP presidential candidates (Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, for starters) for “flip-flopping.”

And I thought Michael Steel was a joke.
What’s the other order, NOT TO WIN?
To the RNC : DROP DEAD
Nimrodians…they are everywhere…PC deceives, denys, delays, destroys
These RINO’s have their lips firmly planted on Barry’s ass . Fuck them!
This and only this is why I want Newt, I really don’t see him backing down from slamming Barry every chance he gets.
I am so ready for a major smack down!
@Teacake:
Ok, I won’t refer to Oama as a SCOAMF. I won’t refer to him as a lying anti-American Marxist radical who promised to “fundamentally change” this country by undermining its foundational tenants. I won’t say he consorted and consorts with communists and terrorists. I won’t say he is arrogant, petulant, condescending, and rude. I won’t say he surrounds himself with corrupt manipulators who have robbed our treasury for personal gain while he feigns ignorance.
No, I’ll be polite.
President Barack Hussein Obama loves this country and is simply misguided.
WTF?
Over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No need to attack Obasterd, just tell the truth about the creep President Muzbuket. Oh ya, the truth can’t be told can it, so what’s left? PC wins again, we all lose.
2008 redux.
Oh, look- the rebubs think it’s a gentleman’s game…again. We’d sure hate to get a cold reception when we reach across the aisle to our good friends on the left. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
FUCK the RNC – DONT SEND THEM A DIME until they can muster up the balls to ATTACK obama!
Maybe george soros has bought the RNC off too!
Look at this scumball Ubama hack.

This type strategy work real well for John McCain in 2008. I truly think the the GOP is trying to sabotage 2012!
Call your local GOP offices and tell them bullshit!
Tell them Obama is destroying our country and that Boehner and Cantor and the rest of the pansies in the GOP will not tell us how to talk about Obama!
Please!
I did it this afternoon and they have to hear it en masse!
Says a lot doesn’t it, about how we got to our present nightmare. My Irish temper has just max out so have fun with this one ” Zippers.
Sorry ass bastards…
“There’s a lot of people who feel sorry for him.”
Who in HELL would that be?? Name one.
Would characterizing King O as a socialist determined to destroy America be considered an attack?
I agree (somewhat) that personal attacks are not effective, but when it comes to policies, Rs should use the heavy artillery against Obama as necessary.
A replay of the polite McCain campaign would be disastrous. But now Obama has a record, and he needs to be made accountable for the destruction he has caused.
This is a LEFTY article, designed to divide Conservatives… Otherwise, what do Liberals have? Over 78% of the US population already knows that Obama Admin is taking USA over a cliff…
What Conservatives really believe is: ‘Let the Far-left continue to bring themselves down by their own stupidity…. We should FOCUS on getting the country back on track.’
And this has definite reality, as Liberals are only driven only to counter Republicans… That is, they only want to win.
THE REST OF AMERICA WANTS TO SAVE THE NATION!
Is it okay to call him Hussien Obama? Or is that a no-no now?
Dear RNC, go stuff it up your skirts. So the “independents” don’t like being reminded that they put an communist into the White House? Tough noogies. Yeah, they made a huge (and avoidable) mistake and I, for one, think that they need to be shamed such that, in the future, they don’t wee their pants the next time a smooth talking charlatan comes along.
I heard this today, and I am now fully convinced that the RNC does not want to unseat Obama.
I believe they are more interested in preserving the notion of the two term President than in defeating him. That way, they figure the next two terms will be theirs.
I wrote to the RNC and told them to go fuck themselves.
info@GOP.com
On second thought I’ll keep calling him the fucking fag President.
By-the-way, ZIP… You are always right-on….
Republicans delivery may have been poor; but I suspect that it’s just more “Liberal Media” who RED-HANDEDLY “cherry-pick” interview data; & then control and falsify content; purely for the purpose of the Obama Re-election Campaign….
This was the kind of weak-kneed responses routinely coming from the RNC that caused me to stop being supportive. Democrats routinely are out for blood and republicans are out for danish.
not a bad idea Rufus
With this news I am now just a matter of centimeters from completely believing there REALLY WON’T be ANY Presidential elections when 2012 season arrives!
It’s that or now things are being shifted (entirely) to the Tea Party to charge forward with holding the USA together in a semblance of Democracy.
Like boxing the opponent, the ref, the ring announcer and now…your own manager all at once.
Dear RNC,
Let me explain this to you… the polls show that a lot of people still have a favorable view of Obama. People with a favorable view of him will vote for him. So attacking him and letting these people know the truth about him IS EXACTLY WHAT CANDIDATES SHOULD DO. How the hell do you think you’re going to get their votes, by painting him as a figure of pathos?
Mccain lost the race in 2008 in part due to the fact that he refused to attack oBama. He ran one of the worst, if not the worst campaigns in our history .
what’s all the fuss? it’s simple. republicans=democrats
it’s newt and pelosi sitting on a sofa. it’s romneycare and obamacare. republicans and demoncraps voting for tarp and bailouts, it’s republicans not willing to look into obama’s birth certificate….so what’s the surprise? nothing new. it’s the republicrat party.
Dear RNC:
“Voters “don’t think he’s an evil man who’s out to change the United States” for the worse — even though many of the same survey respondents agree that his policies have harmed the country, Thompson said. The upshot, Thompson stressed, is that Republicans should “exercise some caution” when talking about the president personally.”
Uh. Yea. I’m a lifelong recovering demonrat, and I saw what this piece of turd did to Hillary, this man is an arrogant ignorant incompetnent who hates the US constitution, hates the very foundations of this country. Intitially, I chalked it up to incomptence, but after a certain time, its pretty clear, its not incompetence but deliberate. No wonder Mccain lost.
There is no need for personal attacks. It should be enough for the candidates to point at Barry’s record, things he has said, and things that he has done. Barry has provided enough material over the past 3 years to completely disqualify him for a second term, all without name calling.
Of course, any attempt to use his record against him is considered racist or a personal attack. Maybe the GOP should grow a pair and treat Barry the same way they would treat any other candidate..
Isn’t that what mcloser said last election too?
WTF
They are following the lead of the democrats who held a meeting and decided not to personally attack Cain
NOT!
All good things come to an end. America is no exception.
SCOAMF in a toilet bowl … again.
My wallet was slammed shut to the RNC back in 2008. Appears it’s going to be shut this time too. I contributed to individual candidates I supported but not to the national organization. Over at Michelle Malkin’s in 2008 site we all contributed the various forms of requests for money and our reasons why they could stuff it. I mailed back several in their postage paid envelopes to the RNC – then those miraculously disappeared. I’m done with the RNC. They do not have conservative values associated with their fundraising efforts. It seems to be whose turn it is – thus we lost because of McNasty and his ‘ethics’ about campaigning. I only gave to his campaign because Sarah Palin made a hell of a lot more sense to me than he did.
SCREWBALLS,NUTCASES,NUMBSKULLS Obama is americas all time worst president ever
So,we are still allowed to comment on that bag of fat that is married to him,right?I need my dose of zippy fun after working to support these ass wipes.
Just more proof that it is nothing more than a big game to keep the insiders in power, and the outsiders outside paying more and more to pay for the insiders luxurious pensions and benefits. Not to mention their junkets to exotic locations paid for by us simpletons.
Did somebody say third party?
I am going long on tar and feathers!
… This underscores the fact that they’re in it together.
McCain was offered to “shoo in” Obama.
And they the Rs want us to regard them as an alternative.
I hate to say it, but the Ds have more audacity and balls than the Rs -far more.
They defend their position and objectives with fanatical zeal and fervor.
Which makes it look like they believe what they advocate, while the Rs look like they’re afraid to stand behind what they advocate.
Where’s that got us…? Oh yeah, here.
… Obviously, we need people who will speak the ugly truth with confidence and without apology.
… The Rs need to go… but the Ds need to go more.
We REALLY need a second political party -a “Conservative Constitutional Party”.
Really, the Tea Party should become a formal political party, running/campaigning on:
(A) limited Constitutional government;
(B) fiscal responsibility -including a balanced budget amendment and an amendment requiring separation of state and economics;
(C) adherence (in particular) to the 9th & 10 Amendments;
(D) getting us out of the U.N. and the IMF; and
(E) getting rid of muslims and sharia.
(And of course, ending union influence and getting rid of government schools -which corrupt children and turn them into future statists.)
The Republicans didn’t push the truth last election because they were afraid of being accused of being racists. You can bet it’s the same old thing now.
No one pushed on Jeremiah Wright, no one push the Resko deal, no one pushed the terrorist (..senior moment…forgot his name). No one pushed his citizenship, no one pushed his college degree, or his college papers, no one questioned his social security card, no one pushed for any information on him, and I do mean ANY!! He is still a stranger..we still have no idea who he is, where he was really born, what he really has done in his life… NOTHING!! And these stupid Republicans are following the same thing that got his elected the first time.!!!!
@nana – William Ayers, also his ghostwriter of Nightmares of baby daddy.
It certainly worked for President McCain’s campaign.
/sarc for the hard of sarc-ing
Thanks Dapandico, appreciate it.
What are the Republicans these days. The 6th column. Of course they won’t attack opinko.
Vote them all out before it’s to late.
This is getting sick.
God help us when the dollar crashes.
The military will be roaming the streets.
The FEMA camps will be at full of patriotic fighting American try to preserve the Constitution.
Know very well the opinkos daughters fine even after America falls.
The National Defense Authorization Act passed by the Senate.
Read#13 at the end. Then You tell me. What the definition of a belligerent act?
Communist are known for throwing people in jail because of something they said or wrote.

And another thing RNC:
Why not run anyone at all? Just give the fuck up now and save all this hassle.
Oh wait, let’s nominate McCain AGAIN! yeah, that’s the ticket! He won’t attack someone stabbing his daughter standing next to him..
I hear a lot of this crap–we need to go after the moderate voters, being critical of Bo won’t work etc etc.. BS. Reagan didn’t kiss up to the moderates or the Rinos. He stood fast on his values, and he nailed Carter to the wall. Both these things gave him 2 landslides. Screw the cowardly moderates. Reagan’s values brought the moderates to him and also the Reagan Democrats. We don’t need to go to them, they need to change. To hell with the RNC cowards.
This is what Rush went absolutely ballistic on today, I didn’t get to hear all of it, but he was raising hell.
Thanks Zip!
Newt is ahead because he is slapping o-hole around.
Anyone who coddles zero or handles him with the respect that he does not deserve, is a weakling and a fool.
The more zero is attacked personally and for his disastrous policies, the more inspired and confident voters will be. If we want to rally this country to stop zero, we need to call him on his shit, put him on the spot, shine a light on him and rip him up for doing everything he has done to destroy America.
This communist thug is evil and a grave danger to all we hold dear.
Pound him and his regime relentlessly.
They changed their tune after hearing Rush. Heh.

Chickadee Agree 100%
Michael Savage awhile back said that the national Republicans want Obama to win and are purposely setting themselves up to lose this election. You hear that and think, “Savage is nuts.” Then you read a story like this and realize you must give his opinion some serious consideration. 2008 Redux?
This is just completely crazy.. It’s like they are all in this together and want America to fail.. what difference does it make to them.. They’ve made their Millions and know,just like obama their kids and family are well taken care of if America fails.
Obama just told us what’s going to happen and does anyone call him out on it?
No, I mean Hell No….
I want all these fuckers out of office and our of the GOP.
We need a deep cleaning of Conservatives..
AKA Obama is a total fraud who fails eVerify, uses multiple fake SSNs, has committed tax fraud, used multiple names, has no documents. We don’t even know who the hell he is. The Mossad has always stated he is the son of Malcolm X, but the point is, whatever docs he has shown are forgeries, his historic pix are all photoshopped, and this entire thing is a scam.
Even taking him at who he says he is, he’s not a natural born citizen and is thus constitutionally ineligible to hold office as the Supreme Court has already multiply ruled (see Minor v. Happersett for example).
Blago, Rezko, Jesse Jr.
Really ..What the fuck is wrong with these people????
How do you people not get this?? If a candidate holds Obama’s feet to the fire for bad economic, social and foreign policy by citing facts and figures, voters will respond. If they start talking about him being a Marxist Muslim attempting to install Sharia law while bringing down America, we assume that the candidate is off his meds and should be locked away to protect himself, because he should be.
“you people”
As opposed to “other people”? Just by being all inclusive you are disqualified of being of any importance.
Rupaula:
All they have to do is show how he fails eVerify, the badly photoshopped pictures, the badly forged BCs, his bogus Rezko real estate dealings…these are out in the open.
As far as the musloid stuff, he’s openly anti Christian and pro-musloid anyway, and he’s done more to fundamentally dismantle the USA than any enemy.
Sharia? Like suing Illinois schools over a teacher abandoning her students to go the haj, which she could go to any time? (DOJ) Or imposing halal food laws (Illinois)?
OK then let’s focus on the fact that he fails article II and is just a usurper, because the Supreme Court has already ruled on that, it’s a slam dunk. Obama is not a natural born citizen (born of 2 US Citizen parents on US soil) as ruled in Minor and others.
Only a racist will say “you people”.
Yes, “you people.” When you give a speech or a presentation, do you address the audience in front of you or everybody in the world?
@Rubepaula – No we use Youse Guys.
The RNC – gonad free!
Hussein is using the Alinsky book – isolate, vilify and destroy – but the RINONC wants to play nice because Barry is popular. You drive up his negatives by attacking him for what he has done you don’t stand in awestruck wonder. You make him less popular. That pollster must have the brain of a deceased flea.
Grow some balls for Christ’s sake, even if they are only little deep fried arugula balls.
What a bunch on wimps, the RNC makes Little Orpan Annie look like Attila the Hun.
We know the media is paid off, now the RNC folks. Wonder where the money came from to pay them off? Or what promises were made?
SOP: Ignore all commands from RNC and do as desired and as needed.
I no longer donate to the RNC – they are idiots.
Individuals is the only way to go.

God help me, I agree with Rubella and I’ll tell you why: we’re not in this fight for our vote, we’re in it to convince independents and moderate dems. Personal attacks and opinions aren’t going to help sway anyone. We have to use irrefutable facts and figures.
Now I feel dirty.
The candidates must keep hitting Obama. The more personal attacks and Obama will melt down. His ego can’t handle it.
The Repubs who don’t want the Stuttering Clusterfuck of a Miserable Failure attacked are as bad as mush brain McCain. Voters do think Obama is evil because he is!!
Seriously when the RNC has a chairman with the name of Reince Priebus everybody in the right mind should expect this shit.
I’ll remember this when the Republicans call me looking for $$.
Their senatorial committee, congressional committee and the RNC.
Fork ‘em.
I’m putting my money with my local TEA party folks.
Dear RNC:
H A V E Y O U L O S T Y O U R F O O K I N G M I N D S ? Obama IS evil. He IS the enemy. He IS NOT likeable. H E M U S T B E D E F E A T E D.
Sincerely, a former republican.
explains why neither the media nor mccain ever vetted the bastard –
newt to the rescue?
He needs to be subjected to a nonstop, everyday informational artillery preparation using nothing but truth and fact and failure. Wouldn’t require anything difficult at all as he has provided the ammuntion. You can bet that the Soros propaganda machine will step up their activities even without any effort from the right. Looks like the RNC has developed a mental condition that needs to be attended to immediately. Preposterously stupid!
Right or left , the elites are in serious trouble . The boy king must be exposed by any means necessary . If America is to be saved this marxist muslim must be defeated . It’s time for every conservative in office to step up to the plate and hammer obama’s ass to the wall . Our country can no longer afford to be run by metro sexual pussies on both sides of the isle . They know who they are and we know who they are . It’s time they pay for the damage they have caused . Terminate ! .
I don’t think Newt is listening to the RNC. He’ll do it his way come hell or high water…
How about we replace RNC head with Ari Fleischer! He seems to have some balls. I am not about to roll over for the DNC, enough already. No more playing nicey nice while getting smacked over and over again.
Start by contrasting the zer0 demand for civility and his union/ows useful idiots in full battle cry. How much easier can it be. Even for a Potomac Fevered Rethug.
Savage is right.
The fix is in.
I agree with Savage. I do think someone is paying major money to keep this fraud in office. I bet we call all list the potential names. I think they are afraid of losing their inner circle control of DC. I sent the RNC a rather ugly email. I’m done messing with them. If I have to write in a name, I will do that rather than vote for a Cocktail Republican.
[Howdy, Weasel... Love your blog. Here is what I found on the www!]
OBAMAS FULFILLING THE BIBLE
Emperor and Empress Obama (professional vacationers) can be found in the Old Testament! Read on:
Proverbs 19:10 (NIV): “It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury – how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!”
Also Proverbs 30:22 (NIV) which says that the earth cannot bear up under “a servant who becomes king.”
And Ecclesiastes 5:2-3 (KJV) advises: “let thy words be few…a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.”
Although Obama is not descended from slaves, he may feel that he’s destined to become a black-slavery avenger.
Or maybe an enslaver of all free citizens!
For some stunning info on Pres. Obama and his fellow traitors, Google “Imam Bloomberg’s Sharia Mosque,” “Michelle Obama’s Allah-day,” “Obama Supports Public Depravity,” “David Letterman’s Hate Etc.,” “Un-Americans Fight Franklin Graham” and also “Sandra Bernhard, Larry David, Kathy Griffin, Bill Maher, Joan Rivers, Sarah Silverman.” Also Google “Prof. F. N. Lee’s ISLAM IN THE BIBLE [PDF].”
PS – Since Christians are commanded to ask God to send severe judgment on persons who commit and support the worst forms of evil (see I Cor. 5 and note “taken away”), Christians everywhere should constantly pray that the Lord will soon “take away” or at least overthrow all US leaders (including subversive, America-hating, Jesus-bashing Hollywood shmucks) who continue to sear their conscience, who dangle every unspeakably filthy vice before young people, and who arrogantly trample the God-given rights of the majority including the rights of the unborn. Do we need a second American Revolution?
PPS – For a rare look at the 181-year-old endtime belief which has long neutralized millions of American patriots by promising them an “imminent rapture” off earth – which has diverted them away from being prepared to stand against all enemies, domestic as well as foreign – Google “Pretrib Rapture Politics,” “Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty,” “Pretrib Rapture Diehards,” “Edward Irving is Unnerving,” “Pretrib Rapture Secrecy,” and “Pretrib Rapture – Hidden Facts” – all by the author of the bestselling nonfiction book “The Rapture Plot” (the most accurate and highly endorsed documentation on the pretrib rapture’s long-covered-up-but-now-revealed beginnings in Britain in 1830 – see Armageddon Books).
(not my typical time to be online, but thought I’d share this info)
@Buddy: “….has diverted them away from being prepared to stand against all enemies…..” In my opinion I would think this would be all the more an actual driving force to do THAT VERY THING, instead of be diverted.
######################################################
info for reading rapture:
. We have that in the 20th chapter, in its own proper place, and including all these several separate classes of the redeemed. I have seen it put forth by an otherwise creditable writer, and upon the authority of the vision now before us, that there is no such thing as a rapture of the Church before the great tribulation; that these palm-bearers show us the Church in final salvation; and that they all pass under the great tribulation, and only come to glory through it. But he is sadly mistaken in every point of this statement. Where do the gold-crowned Elders and Living ones come from, if there is no rapture of the Church before the great tribulation? They are glorified saints, clearly identified as such, in chapters 4 and 5; and they are glorified and crowned before the great judgment tribulation begins, being saved from that “hour of trial.” And where is the proof that these palm-bearers represent the Church at all? They are not called the Church, or any part of it. The Church—the Ecclesia—in its proper New Testament acceptation, ends its earthly course with what was represented by “the seven churches,” and is never heard of again in all the Apocalypse, after the third chapter, except as it appears in the Elders and Living ones in glory. There still are believers, saints, and witnesses for God, who subsequently attain to high and glorious places in the Divine Kingdom; but they are not “the Church of the firstborn,”—the only proper Church,—which receives its judgment, and whose true members are apportioned their heavenly dignities, before a single seal is broken, and hence some time before this palm-bearing multitude appears before the throne.
Besides, if there is no rapture of the Church until the final termination of the judgment troubles, and all the saints together only then are introduced into glory, how shall we account for John’s mental questionings and uncertainties with reference to these palm-bearers? If they represent the finally complete Church, did he not know that the Church was to be thus exalted and glorified? Was he so ignorant of the character and destiny of that chosen body of which he was an apostle and a chief, as not to know it, or whence it came, upon encountering it in heaven? Would it not be a sorry impeachment of his apostolic character and enlightenment, besides very stupid and unreasonable, to proceed on such an assumption, or on anything which involves it? The manifest fact that he was perplexed and in doubt with reference to these palm-bearers, and that the Elder interfered to solve his questionings, proves that they are not the Church proper, but the Church of the after-born, if of the Church at all; that is, a body of saved ones, with a history and place peculiarly their own, and not as yet exactly understood by the apostle.
Still further, it is a false gloss upon the Elder’s words, to understand them as if these palm-bearers had passed through the entire duration of the judgment troubles before reaching the position in which John beholds them. The language corresponds with the order of succession in these several visions, and suggests, if it does not imply, that these palm-bearers cease to be in
