Full Transcript and Audio of Mitch McConnell Campaign's Meeting on Ashley Judd

Re: McConnell aides secretly taped ripping Ashley Judd

That's the thing: he wasn't. Conservatives actually believe rot like this.

Wow, were you exposed to radioactive material in order to develop those powers of telepathy?
 
Re: McConnell aides secretly taped ripping Ashley Judd

Just because it isnt the first, or the only time this has happened doesn't make it right. Are you going to pretend that any immoral activity is ok as long as enough people are doing it?

I don't see anything immoral here. What did they do that you find so abhorrent?
 
Re: McConnell aides secretly taped ripping Ashley Judd

Presenter: She's an open advocate as you can see. Anyhow I know this is sort of a sensitive subject but you know at least worth putting on your radar screen is that she is critical…[inaudible] sort of traditional Christianity. She sort of views it as sort of a vestige of patriarchy. She says Christianity gives a God like a man, presented and discussed exclusively with male imagery which legitimizes and seals male power, the intention to dominate even if that intention is nowhere visible.

And this is sort of an interview that sort of manifests this sort of I would say oddly syncretic approach to Christianity.

"A syncretic approach to Christianity" -- wow, that's a real issue for the American people. I'm glad McConnell is honing in on that and saving the nation from syncretism.

And Republicans wonder why nobody takes them seriously anymore except people who talk in tongues.

It's isn't immoral to discuss the quotes and statements made by your opponent in order to determine how to fight against them during an election...it's ****ing logic.
 
Re: McConnell aides secretly taped ripping Ashley Judd

Wow, were you exposed to radioactive material in order to develop those powers of telepathy?

No, I just actually listen to what conservatives say all the time. It's mostly freakish, like this stuff.

You DO realize McConnell is NOT "Presenter", right? You realize that SOMEBODY ELSE is presenting TO McConnell the information collected? And that the interpretation of that information is coming from the presenter, and NOT McConnell, right?

Or are we just ignoring facts in order to continue spewing partisan, hackish donkey dung?
 
Re: McConnell aides secretly taped ripping Ashley Judd

No, I just actually listen to what conservatives say all the time. It's mostly freakish, like this stuff.

I find this statement even more dishonest than your usual tripe.
 
She also is an open advocate of gay marriage. You can see this is what she tweeted after election night when Maryland approved same sex marriage. "It's okay to love whom you love." And then she talks about Maryland's bill.

Ah, and again. She's clearly, this sounds extreme, but she is emotionally unbalanced. I mean it's been documented. Jesse can go in chapter and verse from her autobiography about, you know, she's suffered some suicidal tendencies. She was hospitalized for 42 days when she had a mental breakdown in the '90s. Phil Maxson found this, which sort of I think is a pretty revealing interview.

When wedge issues fail (as the gay marriage issue is failing for the GOP), claim your opponent is insane.

Conservative politics at its finest!
 
Re: McConnell aides secretly taped ripping Ashley Judd

This type of crap.

McConnell and his aides considered assailing Judd for her past struggles with depression and for her religious views.

Like I said before, when you have to resort to smear tactics on your opponent it is because you dont have anything decent to run on and you don't belong in that type of position.

I find this tripe even more dishonest than your usual dishonesty.

But translated: you really can't rebut what I say. The weirdo in the room laugh at every comment, because they think it's a blast to say degrading things and they have actual contempt for the American public. Even their comment about the Southeast Christian [Mega]Church shows how cynical they are. They think religious Americans are stupid hicks.

Male voice: The people at Southeast Christian [Church] would take to the streets with pitchforks. [Laughter.]

Presenter: Brother…That's my favorite line so far. Absolute favorite one so far. [Laughter.]


Can you parse this laughter for us?

You honestly believe that your distorted views and lies need to be refuted?

I needed a laugh...so thank you.
 
somebody bugged the meeting, apparently. if you ever wondered what goes on in a strategy session, you'll find it interesting.

Another Watergate in the making? Could it be the Democrats have their own plummers? Where is G. Gordon Liddy when one needs him?

Regardless, this tape shows how both sides go about their opposition research. how they want to paint the other side a the devil reincarnated. It is our political system that is at fault, but thanks Mitch for bring this out in the open.

It's not ****ing logic, its ****ing dirty politics. If the man was worth having in office he should be able to get people to vote FOR him, rather it seems he knows noone will so he instead is focusing on how to get people to vote AGAINST his opponent. That is pathetic.
 
Hey, Mitch and his goons have discovered a "theme".

Oh the lack of substance that is conservatism:

And then Josh has sort of put this together. And this is, if you see a lot of footage of her, she definitely has a very sort of self-centered, sort of egotistical aspect. And Josh, this is just one of many that we put together. But she's very sort of a, sort of it's all about her, the theme that I would call this. And this is sort of an example about this. She uses her, likes in speeches, she'll frequently use herself in the third person.

Plummers? Those are guys looking to pick conservative fruit?

It's going to be hilarious when it comes out that one of McConnell's disgruntled staffers released the audio.
 
Re: McConnell aides secretly taped ripping Ashley Judd

I would have thought the [laughter] portion would have indicated that the presenter was being facetious. I mean, I get the inclination to be as dishonest as possible in hopes of convincing somebody that the opposition is evil, but when it's this blatant it's just pathetic, dude.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING stops HoJ from twisting things to suit his political agenda.

You should read what he says about the 2nd Amendment. It carries the same kind of distortion.

On a political forum! That's crazy!

That it would.
 
Sen. Mitch McConnell: If I could interject…I assume most of you have played the, the game Whac-A-Mole? [Laughter.] This is the Whac-A-Mole period of the campaign…when anybody sticks their head up, do them out, and we're even planning to do it with the Courier here shortly, so…

Conservative humor. You have to love it.
 
When your political strategy is to promote
yourself by crapping on your
opposition you shouldn't be in politics. If you are so bad yourself that you don't feel you can compete with your opponent based on your own strategies, beliefs, and policies you should probably just give up.

Thats a naive point of view honestly. No Democrat here anyway complained about the Mitt killed my Husband" add that was poisoning the airwaves prior to Captain Dumbsh*** re-election.

Maybe with the American people, but I can guarantee you that it would be an issue in Kentucky.
