We in the conservative movement are used to having the words of Robert Gibbs lobbed at us like grenades on a battlefield.
Gibbs has called conservatives “crazy.” He has called us “birthers.” He has said, “I’m almost positive that no argument is somehow going to dissuade [them].”
But now he isn’t firing only at conservatives. His utter frustration in the job has him targeting his guns at the Left. He even used the same word in describing the left-wing critics of Obama. He called them “crazy.”
In an interview with The Hill newspaper, Gibbs said of attacks on the administration from liberal Democrats: “I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested,” Gibbs said. “I mean, it’s crazy.”
Obama’s press secretary wasn’t through. He went on to dismiss the “professional Left” saying, “They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon. That’s not reality.”
Ironically, we have wanted these same critics of George W. Bush drug tested for years. Finally, Robert Gibbs and we share some common ground.
Seriously, his behavior is paranoid. Webster’s defines paranoid as “characterized by suspiciousness, persecutory trends, or megalomania.”
This pretty much captures the modus operandi of the Obama administration: never talk about your opponents’ arguments, just demonize them.
As the popularity of the “Messiah-in-Chief” continues to fall, White House staff is getting desperate to defend itself. They are lashing out at more people and voting groups. This is not the healthiest reaction when the country is teetering on the brink of a depression and mired in an endless war. Charges of incompetence made by radicals on the Left or us conservatives on the Right are accurate and appropriate.
Gibbs’ statements were quickly ripped to shreds by the left-wing blogs.
Glenn Greenwald at Salon called the comments, “one of the most petulant, self-pitying outbursts seen from a top political official in recent memory, half derived from a paranoid Richard Nixon rant and the other half from a Sean Hannity/Sarah Palin caricature of The Far Left.”
Chris Bowers of the OpenLeft blog responded in a post headlined “Dear swing voters, you suck. Love, The White House.” He wrote, “If the White House really doesn’t think it has any problems among self-identified liberals or progressives, and that all the complaints are coming from a grasstop elite, it needs to look at the data again.”
All I have to say to these new left-wing opponents of Obama is, “Welcome to the cause.” I’m glad you agree with us now. Why don’t you join us in the impeachment effort, so we can end this nightmare called the Obama administration a few years early.

"Why don’t you join us in the impeachment effort…"
Uh, maybe because those of us on the left, however dissatisfied we may be with Obama and his staffers, recognize that impeachment must be based on things like, you know, facts and credible evidence.
JAMES,
REALLY!
YOU ARE SO SIMPLE MINDED!
OBAMA WILL NOT BE IMPEACHED!
LET ME REPEAT THIS SO YOU GET IT OK!
OBAMA WILL NOT BE IMPEACHED!
THE GAY BOY MESSIAH OBAMA WILL BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE IN DISGRACE & BE TRIED FOR HIGH CRIMES & MISDEMEANORS & EVENTULAYY IMPRISIONED FOR THESE CRIMES AS WELL AS THOSE WHO ARE ACCOMPLICES AS WELL.
NOW I AM DONE WITH YOU SIMPLETON!
GO BACK TO THE BASEMENT WITH THE OTHER VERMIN THERE FROM WHICH YOU HAVE COME.
JAMES!
I FORGOT TO ASK AGAIN!
ARE YOU BI OR GAY AS YOUR MESSIAH OBAMA IS?
JUST CURIOUS!
I BET A FRIEND THAT YOU WERE BI?
I agree with you that he won't be impeached, and if you'd actually read my comment it's obviousl that I never said he would be–it was Floyd Brown or Caleb (it's not clear in the original post) who brought up the issue of impeachment.
James,
LOL! You are so slow!
I never stated that you brought up the issue about impeachment.
Now go back to the basement! I am done with you….
P.S.
You never answered my question as to whether you are Bi or Gay?
As a 72 year old, who has been in the service & had several jobs on the outside, I have met several idiots like you. To sum it up, you are a wimp, an ass kisser, & a complete Moron. That is exactle what the peopl on the Left are all about.
Let's see, you're responding to a comment from 17 weeks ago with something completely irrelevant to what I said. So have you always been such a deep thinker, or is that a symptom of your 72 years of age?
I have read your stupid remarks several times before, & you even listed your stats, which you think qualifies you to be the only one with the right answers. You think you are more intelligent then everyone else, but you are not. You remind me of our politicians, most of whom are college educated, lawyers, who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. One of these days, hopefully, you & people like you will wake up, although in your case, that would be a miracle,
I think you're confused, again. I didn't list my stats–somebody else did. I hadn't even noticed until then that they were they, and don't think they matter in the least. The people with the highest stats have radically different views, indicating that they have nothing to do with any "right answers."
What they do have in common is a tendancy among the posters to use their own names rather than fake ones–regardless of how "high-powered" those psuedonyms may be.
And take heart–we're approaching Christmas, a sign that miracles do occur.
Well then if facts and credible evidence are required before the process of impeachment begins what the heck is the process for? If you look at the rules for beginning an impeachment it only requires suspicion. That any evidence may be considered not just "credible and factual" which is actually determined at trial in the senate. Do not be an armchair judge. What we know right now as fact is Obama has not produced evidence to support his claim that he is eligible to hold office. The senate investigated McCain and found that he was born of TWO American citizens who were only off the sovereign soil for duties in service to the nation. You can read all about that but the key is that even BO signed the senate bill. That means he is fully aware of the rules set in the constitution. An impeachment would uncover the details and it can then be tried in the senate for fact and be recorded as evidence which may result in prosecution for other criminal acts where the federal courts hold jurisdiction.
Bottom line, Perkins Coie law firm has been paid to deny the constitution satisfaction. A lead atty for that firm is in the WH NOW. Ask yourself if there isn't anything fishy there.
Floyd, BHO cannot be impeached because he is a Constitutionally ineligible USURPER! He can and should be arrested, tried and prosecuted for fraud and treason. Same thing goes for his co-conspirators!
Hallelujah!! White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told the truth about the "professional Left" (Obama's Liberal Democrats) in today's press briefing, when he made remarks such as, "They're crazy," and "These people ought to be tested for drugs," and "They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we've eliminated the Pentagon. That's not reality."
Gibbs must have suddenly been hit with a bad case of "foot-in-the-mouth" disease when he made the above statements. He evidently thought he was talking about the far right conservative Republicans, when he really was talking about the far left Liberal Democrats! These statements ares priceless, and they should be saved for posterity!
Osama obama has no alliegance this country or to anyone except islam . The liberals are finding out real quick that obama is going to throw them and this country under the bus . At least we conservatives wont suffer as much as they will , because we read them like a book that they are , a horror story that ends with death and distruction . We are ready and prepared for the sh*t to hit the fan , and most of us are looking forward to that day. Only the strong will survive
The realization of just how funny this is and strange is like "man bites dog" only this is a rabid leftist man and he chawing on the buttocks of the Un-Credentialed and Bobby Gibbs is as startled as one can be and strictly in the defensive mode.
Think of it this way, not only is this half breed America transforming boob going to cost his Deemer party both houses, the leftist, unions and suck-ups are going to let his boat take on even more water. The new Real Republican Party is going to be piling into those chairs and the newly appointed AG is going to be filing more charges than a paper shredder can handle….it ain't like he don't deserve this, "So long B.O."
ONTIME….YOU ARE RIGHT ON TIME Annoy a liberal……work…be successful…be happy
Gibbs, is a big fat Twinkie puppet lap doggie that blows smoke as he is told to do by his NWO masters what would anyone really expect of him. I mean really.
Is it just me, or does Gibbs remind you of Bagdad Bob (Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf) who was Saddams PR guy during to start of the Iraq war. He would lie about the facts while the tanks were actually driving through town!!
Oh, yeah, Baghdad Bob .. Bobby Gibbs' twin brother. What more can I say .. GIBBS IS JUST A GOOFY GUY. Keep him there; he's almost ready to pop .. maybe he'll blurt out the truth that Obama is ineligible. I can feel it coming on.
Gibbs is a mental midget. I suspect his IQ rivals that of a pencil eraser. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if he "flunked sandbox" in his educational endeavor. Further, someone should ask him from which mental facility he escaped from.
Gibbs needs to give a DNA sample because he and Biden has to have the same blood line!! Two idiots from the same family. James you are so full of crap you are brain dead!! Hot Cougar, I am with you. I want to see the trial for TREASON against this slime bag and those corrupt b-s-a-ds that are covering for him. He is an American hater and so is the ugly varminnt (she/he) he lives with. Angel when small children snuggle on someones lap they aften put their thumb in their mouth and suck!! SMILE.
Gibbs looks and acts exactly like the typical"Pasty faced Soviet Apparatchik" of the cold war days, He would have fit right in on that particular scenario and he shows he sure knows the ropes!
Shucks i feel so bad, all along i was giving some credit to Obammy boy and i have said he has some brains, but i have to take it back because he is so stupid to put this idiot Gibbs in front of the TV every day. and every day Gibbs puts his foot in his mouth. this joke of a man can be read like a book and he has no idea of how to lie properly, liitle kids do it better than he could ever imagine. don't get rid of him please as he is helping we conservatives to convince even the liberal democrats that CHANGE is coming in the next elections.
Gibbs is an idiot. He never speaks as tho he's well prepared. Grade F
