As In Every Year Past, Obama's Elder Minions Urge Lesser Minions to Fight With Their Families At Thanksgiving Dinners
— Ace

It truly is insidious, I think, this devotion to cause such that one would seriously -- earnestly! -- urge others to fight with family in order to advance a political goal.

It's not just about the casual denigration of the family in favor of the Real Family, which is of course like-minded socialists in the Progressive Cult. It is that, but it's not just that.

Devoting our whole show on Wednesday to how to talk about politics, news with conservative family members. Should be fun!
— Christopher Hayes (@chrislhayes) November 25, 2013

It's also this idea that a person's highest aspiration is to be... A telemarketer. Or, as there's nothing "tele-" about picking fights with your family in face-to-face meetings, an epimarketer, then.

There is a terribly strange notion affecting the country, chiefly on the left but sometimes on the right, that man's highest calling is to be a Public Relations Account Manager.

But I'll put that aside to get to the funny stuff. Via @johnekdahl, enjoy this email from Organizing for America.

Do not read it hastily; the most magical sentence in the email is the second sentence.

Updated: I added Eekdahl's Chris Hayes tweet. This is coordinated, he says.

It's interesting-- why is this sort of thing not being discussed on the right? Why is it, apparently, only the left that has Daddy Issues and thus needs a Conversation Checklist when meeting with family?

Not to say that the right won't talk politics at family gatherings, but you don't see this weird combination of Advocacy Checklists, Comforting the Anxious, How to Deal With Dad, and so forth every year from the right.

Crikey. My ultra-leftist sister-in-law (she lives in Barry's old district) is coming to town for Thanksgiving. Might be a good time for me to get shitfaced rather than starting a nuclear war at dinner. Of course, since she cannot help talking about how much faith she has in Obama (her word: faith), I foresee a great disturbance in the Force, like a 50-year old man intentionally puking in someone's face.

25 "Chances are, folks at the dinner table probably look to you, mostly as a voice of reason on the subject."

Chances are, most of the folks at the dinner table look at you and silently wonder when you're going to take a bath, why you used your allowance on all those horrible tattoos, whether you'll ever shave off that stupid maggot-infested goatee, and when you're going to get your ass out on the street to look for a job.

49 Brilliant if you think about it. It serves two purposes, get the message and further put strains on and destroy the family. The liberal agenda only works without a strong famliy and this helps enforce the belief in the believer plus advances the goal of weakening the family by seeding disharmony. Even if Aunt Sue doesn't agree with the liberal cause she may sympathize with being tough on little Johnny because he is just a little misguided. Not sure what the counter is to this.

I've already warned my folks, if the lone Liberal in the family starts anything, there will be no civility, no politeness. I am going for the throat as hard, as fast, and as nastily as I can.

This person never called us racist, but has associated with the Left, who has done nothing BUT call anyone who disagrees racist.

Chances are, folks at the dinner table look to you with either dread or condescension, because they know you're a bloviating windbag who hasn't had an original thought since preschool and either they don't want to be bothered by your latest inarticulate brain fart or they want to hear what fresh stupidity your government masters have tattooed on your tongue so as to better mock you and your pitifully small penis and/or breasts.

Remember this Thanksgiving: there's a reason no one hugged you enough as a child, and yes, your mother really does hate you.

The more you know.

Well, what do you know. Team O set up a site with notes to prep the little darlings for the last Thanksgiving they'll ever be invited to:

www.barackobama.com/health-care-holidays

PLAN YOUR TALK
Take a moment to plan when, where, and how youÂ’ll talk to your family about health insurance.

PICK A TIME
Start early: DonÂ’t wait until the last minuteÂ—be sure to start the conversation early! Integrate the talk into family time: Take advantage of downtime after meals or between holiday activities to start your talk.

THINK ABOUT HOW YOUÂ’LL BRING IT UP
Make it personal: Be honest about your feelings and why this is important to you.

106 The left thinks it civil to call you names and make false accusations against you, and uncivil for you to fight back. That's what "civil" means to them. Every frickin' day. And a lot of you, me often included, ignore them instead of slamming them because you don't want to make it worse for everyone else. It's a strategy that sacrifices the long term for the short term and I admit to using it, sadly, because it's also part of their strategy to break up social relations over ideology and make everything suck to they can ride to the rescue and purge the Kulaks.

Offer to walk them through it: Â“Would you like to take some time with me to sign up right now?Â”

Ask them to make a plan, and commit to it: Â“When do you plan on signing up?Â”

DonÂ’t forget to follow up: Â“Have you signed up yet?Â”

I've got one of those little liberal Bush Hating, Obama Loving nephews. His mom sent him off to NYU to get a degree in drama --and now at 45 or so he can't find a job that's "suitable" for him and so sponges off his mother or his occasional girlfriend. Oh he had some jobs--as a bellhop in a San Francisco hotel and as an assistant manager at a Kinkos--but none of those were "right for him". In some ways it's not his fault--he grew up in San Francisco and was always worried that someone would nuke a gay whale.

Anyway the useless little twerp came over to a Thanksgiving dinner one time a few years back and laid a load of his Obama lovin' on another guest--an older woman who's grown up in Eastern Europe. I don't mind if he simply irritates his relatives--but insulting a non family guest is over the line. So I've not let the little twerp back in my house for four or five years now. Don't think that will change--ever.

Misconception: Insurance will be too expensive for me.

Tell them: There are a variety of plans available in the new health insurance marketplace, so you can pick one that fits your budget. ThereÂ’s also financial assistance available based on how much you make. In fact, almost 6 in 10 uninsured Americans may be able to get coverage for $100 a month or less.

I mentioned a friend of my husband's father, an active man in his 70s who rarely used the system in his youth -- They told him 8 years! Because he just had surgery two years ago, and his hip was giving out again. So, this friend says, "Well, you just go down to Detroit..." I cut him off and said, "Not any more, buddy."

178 BCBS? Is that a public agency? Maybe she won't be so happy to learn that her benefits will be considered income and she will be taxed on it. Tell her it is for TEH CHILDREN.

Blue Cross Blue Shield.

I know she knows how health insurance works. She's not been having the best of luck with employment in recent years, and I feel sorry for her about that. She and my wife don't have the greatest of sisterly relationships either, and so I don't even know if she has a job right now either.

I don't want to hear anything about how great the dems and o-care is this week or I will have to choke a bitch.

PLAN YOUR TALK
Take a moment to plan when, where, and how youÂ’ll talk to your family about health insurance.

Because nothing says "relaxing, friendly family get-together" like planned communist propaganda.

PICK A TIME

Start early: DonÂ’t wait until the last minuteÂ—be sure to start the
conversation early!

That will give the rest of your family plenty of time to plan where to hide your body when they "accidentally" bludgeon you with a can of cranberry sauce mid-meal!

Integrate the talk into family time: Take advantage
of downtime after meals or between holiday activities to start your
talk.

Because your family hates you anyway, so why not make them hate you that little bit more?

THINK ABOUT HOW YOUÂ’LL BRING IT UP
Make it personal: Be honest about your feelings and why this is important to you.

And when your family is honest with you about how much of a fucktwaddle you are for believing Obammy's bullshit, remember: it's okay to cry.

(But cry in private, or else Cousin Emily will give you another atomic wedgie like she did last year when you were yammering on and on about "green shoots." And this year'll be worst: she's SIX.)

207 "Remember to mention Abortion is a right! to be paid for by Everyone else!" Willow, you can't judge a woman's choice until you have walked in her shoes. When my sister was just 27, she found herself faced with an unplanned pregnancy. Although she and her husband seriously considered keeping the twins, his bonus was slightly less than anticipated. Their highly decision to terminate at 22 weeks was highly personal. A long scheduled and well-deserved vacation had to be delayed for nearly three days because of the procedure. Had their insurance not covered it, they might have had to reschedule their flight for a week.

(a) the "uncles" likely have jobs that don't involve politics;

(b) they've likely been married and had children and had responsibilities for taking their kids to the emergency room, or helping their sick or dying parents and all the other life experiences that 20-somethings haven't had;

(d) as older people, they've likely had much more experience as consumers of healthcare (can you say colonoscopy?) than the 20-something;

236 Tips for talking to your conservative family members this holiday season:

1. Ask them to only knock you unconscious and not outright murder you for trying to bring up the Affordable Care Act at the dinner table.

2. Have a 20 second escape plan if things go pear-shaped.

3. Any injuries should be covered, so there's no need for bickering about who killed who.

237 They aren't actually hoping to get people to sign up. If they sign up, the "affordable" bullshit is done - the jig is up.

They are hoping to get people to believe the affordability myth. They know at this point that most still have employer based coverage and won't need to sign up.

I'd love to see the scenario where the rabid leftist offers to help sign someone up who isn't eligible for a subsidy, and gets one of those disgusting premiums/deductibles.

254 Posted by: Comanche Voter at November 25, 2013 03:18 PM (dtuXM) A friend of mine has a "boyfriend" like that. He was an art dealer, but his side gig as a pot dealer interfered with him keeping his serious job. Of course, he was a bad dealer and got high on his own supply. But the only job that he felt was worthy of him was Famous Layabout Wastoid Painter. My friend supported this. Btw Remember how Pee Lousy said young people could pursue their dreams while they stayed on their parents plans until they were 26, like this isn't the case with Obama's base already? Long story short, the boyfriend asked my friend to help him move into his new apt on Christmas Day. Then right after the van was unloaded, he dumped her. She still took him back, and he fucked another girl in her bed while she was at work. She came home early. And she still got back together with him! They're in their 30s living with her mother while she rents out her apt on AirB&B. But I knew he was no good when I was staying with her as a houseguest for a couple days. (I was living in Canada and had to come to NYC to line up an apt.) She had him stay with her and make out all gross and obnoxiously. I went to church on Easter and told her I'd be back late, because I was going to volunteer at the soup kitchen afterward and see a movie / have drinks with a friend. He went into a tirade about religion and how much he hates Jesus in particular and Christians are phonies. I knew then that this guy did not like holidays. Loves Obama, though. They have that in common.

If they start up, hold up a hand to shut them up, then hold out that same hand and say, "You want to talk about fairness, you can go ahead and pay me for that meal you're about to eat/have already eaten. It took me X-hours to prepare, plust the time it took to earn the money to buy the ingredients. Since you believe in fairness I assume you believe in a mandatory minimum wage of $10 or more. Let's go with that. So, that plate of turkey, mashed potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, stuffing, dinner rolls and butter, and gravy comes to... oh... approximately $200 all told. You can pay me now, cash only.

"Oh, you don't have $200? Then you can go hungry.

"Oh, and you might want to think about selling that Prius if you want some pie. Pumpkins don't ripen overnight you know."

Well, have you bought your Obamacare Insurance yet? SON: .....Uhhh, no. I'm not 26. You can carry me on your insurance till I'm 26. DAD: Yeah, but Obamacare- SON: It's the Affordable Care Act, Dad. DAD: Yeah, but Obamacare made everything so affordable now, you can get your own insurance. SON: But....but I can't afford that right now...and... DAD: Wait. What? Medical insurance isn't affordable for you under the Affordable Healthcare Act? Why...why it's almost as if this Obama fellow lied about everything. SON: He didn't lie, Daaaaaaad. It's just....He just.... DAD: So, you will be able to buy your own health insurance? Great! Let's eat. Pass the turkey, please. SON: ........ DAD: You want stuffing? SON: Screw you, Dad.

286 Last week HuffPo had a guide to discussing ACA at Thanksgiving, featuring Uncle Hank, who is a little bit racist (yes, they had to throw that in), being set straight by niece Emily. The funny thing was, Uncle Hank's talking points were factual. Emily's talking points were OFA spin. I'm extremely lucky in my family we are all on the same page., except for my husband's brother and sister in law. We don't talk politics with them though. They are very sweet, and they are blessed with two wonderful daughters who grew up to be extremely conservative. Haha--that's the best revenge.

343 Sorry, fellas, my health insurance premium just tripled. This year's feast will be cooked SPAM formed into the shape of a turkey. Spam?! Luxury!

344 That ad basically screams, "Dear Miss Fool, we expect all girls to act like sluts. So here are some free pills paid for by your shocked and prudish parents via taxes."

345 Detective, "So sir how did your son choke on the turkey drumstick?"

Father, "He started to talk about how affordable this new health care is."

Detective closes notebook, looks at partner, then back to the father. "We will write this up as justifiable self defense."

346 from the "Truth Team" the other day:

"This fight has always had one goal: providing all Americans with better health care at more affordable prices."

so the point is that they failed on both accounts.

347 Things are not looking so good on Obama. I went by an underpass yesterday that had a graffiti sign on it, "Impeach Obama." If the people who engage in graffiti are putting up such signs it means even the stalwarts are defecting.

348 Maoist are big on destroying family relations. Yeah, funny how ratting out your parents for acts that are subversive to the state can have that effect on the nuclear family.

356 Any of you notice how Lefties are now sarcastically saying, "Thanks, Obama!" the way we used to say, "But Buuuush!"?

It's illegal for us to slap them. Sometimes America stinks.

Father, "He started to talk about how affordable this new health care is."

EDIT:

*Detective closes notebook, looks at partner, then back to father*

Detective: Affordable, huh? If you walk into your family's Thanksgiving celebration and try to defend that shit, there's no way you expect to walk out alive.

Partner: You said it, buddy. Damn suicide by talk.

359 It truly is insidious, I think, this devotion to cause such that one would seriously -- earnestly! -- urge others to fight with family in order to advance a political goal. I'm assuming this Hayes guy never got his ass kicked up and down the street for anything he ever said or started.

That's delicous. Wait until next year. Would love to be a fly on the wall in the dems camp -- their internal polls must have them defecating bricks.

368 Passed an Eco-box both ways with a truly revolting BS:

"Obama. Signed. Sealed. Delivering."

Yeah, 5 years of the Second Great Depression. No jobs. Real Estate still dead. The "economy" flatlined. The middle class impoverished, health care wrecked, and Israel sold out. Going from "post racial to most racial."

Heck of a job, Barky....

I mouthed "Idiot" at the fool driving as I went by.

371 Honey, I love you but Obama's a lying asshole and your his dimly obnoxious ignorant little chump and I'll happily throw your stupid ass out into the cold winds of the real world if you don't keep that weasel kool-aid shit to yourself over the holiday. Nobody appreciates canned disingenuous suasion from a dumb ass over the holidays and nobody here is going to put up that with kind of shit to win your approval, which frankly isn't worth much dear.

373 The HIGHEST calling is Public Policy grad school. The second highest calling is Public Relations Account Manager. I went to graduate school (right after the Spanish American war) and studied public administration. I talked to one of my children's friends yesterday who is studying Public Policy at some jackoff university in DC. Her parents are mucho richo. I asked her what courses she is taking and it is legislative crap (that I took in undergraduate school) and PR. I asked her when she takes macro economics which I had to have six hours graduate level to get a masters. Oh none of that she said. And she was a music major in under graduate. She cannot balance her own bank account. Haha. She is a sweet, slightly homely, idiot girl who will soon be working for our government. My daughter is inspecting ports for a multinational insurance company to write re-insurance reports and they are the same age! They both terrify me.
