Dem Strategist: Obama Needs to Start ‘Bashing’ Republicans With a Baseball Bat

Even when Ed Schultz is gone, the civility just continues to pour out on his radio show.

While filling in for Schultz last Friday, host Jeff Santos invited Democratic strategist, and former Carter Administration official, Earl Bender on the show. Santos started talking about budget battles and what needs to be done in order for Obama to get his way. Bender had an idea: take a baseball bat and bash the Republicans over the head. You know, just to knock some “common sense” into them. Santos agreed, as long as it’s a wooden bat:

    Well Obama did just that in his speech yesterday. Not only did he bash those addressing the deficit, but he bashed America. He is slowly destroying this country by ignoring our growing deficit problem…America better wake up before this bat-bashing president destroys our great country.

    USE OUR TAX MONEY TO TRY TO BUY VOTES

    That’s all these fools know. WE are now on to their game. PATRIOTS will win. THIS IS AMERICA not some ‘up for grabs” 3rd WORLD slum (where OBAMA grew up)

      If you don‘t find someone to run for president besides RINO’s – you won’t beat the hell out of anyone anywhere. Barry has a better, probably 70% chance of winning again. Trump can’t beat him, Romney the sleeze can’t, neither can my friend Newt from GA (I like the guy, but he is a loser too). Pawlenty maybe a chance, Michelle B won’t run (we need her as speaker of the House), Christie says he isn’t running. I sort of keep hoping that the RINO Crist from Florida will run as an independent or even run as a dem after the white house refused to support him in his re-election bid as governor.

      Actually, if the Dems would come up with a decent candidate, I’d support them – problem is finding any decent person in either party.

    Evil is in front of our eyes people. Evil claims hate in order to profess hate. Conservatives have to realize that these Progressives are not like us. They truly hate. They hate the way we think. And to make themselves feel good they have to claim that it’s those Conservatives, out there spouting hate and intolerance. Look at the world, a world of I can preach hate and violence, commit violence,loot and burn all in the name of your intolerance. That is why the facts prove the above. They truly hate all those that don’t believe like them.The hate we expect from religious differences is now justifiable for political,economic or social issue differences.

      2. The only way to get the Democrat Liberals ANGRIER is to ignore them and RISE ABOVE them by behaving like normal humans. They are trying to “get us” with their stupid comments. Don’t fall into their trap, we are on a higher level

      3. I am going to keep saying this until someone takes it seriously: We need to focus on the conspirators behind Obama and take them out. He is obviously way out of his league. His merely their mouthpiece with a teleprompter. The “Community Organizer” who never held a 9-5 job in his life (that’s a fact) knows zip about running a country

      Well, they can have the baseball bats, but they have not the brains to use them properly anyway! communist scumbags is what the lot of them are now, it is all out in the open, they have their eyes wide shut…we can open them with truth and fact, but I’m afraid it won;t do any good, the damage has been done!

      I have never seen this country so divided. Wasn’t electing a black man supposed to end racial divide and bring us all closer?

      Time for the good old white men to take back the country and put everyone back in their placed.

      In the words of Gandhi: “I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.” No baseball bat, handgun, poison, or other means of coercion will make me go to your side, Democrats.
