Daily Kos & Media Matters- Joking Not Allowed

Daily Kos & Media Matters decided to get offended today because Rep. Gregg Harper (R-MS) made a joke. Not even a bad joke, or an offensive one. A tiny little joke in an interview with Politico. Below is the question and answer these bastions?of the?far left?are upset over:

Politico: “What in the world does the Congressional Sportsmen?s Caucus do?”????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Harper: “We hunt liberal, tree-hugging Democrats, although it does seem like a waste of good ammunition.”

That’s it. Remember, this is the same Daily Kos that has an ad for a site supporting Representative Alan Grayson?(D-FL), the Congressman who said the Republican health care plan is for people to not get sick BUT, if they do get sick, to die quickly. He said it?on the floor of the House of Representatives. (I paraphrased Grayson’s talking points, but?the full speech?can be seen in full here.) Unlike Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC), who inappropriately yelled “You lie” at President Obama during his joint address to Congress and subsequently apologized to the White House for his inappropriate behavior…Grayson “apologized” by taking a few more shots at Republicans?and blaming them for 45,000 American deaths per year due to a lack of insurance. (Side note: there is no censor against Grayson forthcoming by House leadership.) The ad is prominently displayed on Daily Kos’ main page.

To be fair, Media Matters’ Matt Finkelstein?quoted Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE), who last February (nothing like up-to-date information)?supported the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus as bipartisan: “Unlike some of the other activities in Washington, Republicans and Democrats reach across the aisle?and join hands to work together, not as Republican or Democrat, but as sportsmen and women.” However, this bit of friendly behavior by a Democrat is too much for?Daily Kos poster David Waldman: “But what does it say about Sen. Ben Nelson as a judge of character? I guess you’d have to give him the benefit of the doubt, at least for a while. He probably has no idea who Harper is, so there’s really now way of knowing that he’s going to turn out to be one of those gun-as-substitute-for-johnson types. Hope Nelson speaks up and has something to say about this. Or at least privately thinks to himself, “Maybe bipartisanship isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. And Harper’s a loser.”" Ah, the open-minded liberal. Can we find one somewhere?

Hey, Waldman?and Finkelstein…grow up. Laugh a little. Here, watch Jon Stewart rip apart Fox News. It’s really funny. Now watch him rip apart President Obama. It’s okay- nobody will find out.
