Corporate-funded, right-wing Republican smear site ShiftWA has a post up titled “5 ways Kitzhaber reminds us of Inslee.” (Hint: Washington State Governor Jay Inslee and Oregon’s disgraced governor both have strong environmental records. Horrors!)
Huh. Well, two can play at this bullshit random-association buzzfeedification of Washington politics game:
5 ways ShiftWA reminds us of Hitler
- They both have the letters “h,” “i,” and “t” in their name. (Spooky!)
- They both have ties to the Bush family.
- They both hate gay people.
- They both are funded by the Koch brothers.
- They both are shameless, lying propagandists.
I could have gone on and on. But, you know, this is the Internet, and attention spans are short.

I was just noticing that the names Goldstein and Godwin have a lot of letters in common. Five, in fact.

@1 I just noticed there’s only a 1-letter difference between “Bob” and “Boob.”

@1 (continued) Goldy’s comment has substance; yours does not. Guilt-by-association is an ancient and worn-out rightwing trick. It’s a tactic conservatives use to demonizes their political competitors because they can’t defend their ideas. You? Just an empty-headed blatherer who doesn’t even understand the implications of what he posts. Goldy is way smarter than you.*
* I used to believe that doctors and lawyers are smart people, but I’ve met too many dumb doctors and lawyers to believe that anymore. Yes, it’s possible for a head-up-his-ass moron to get through medical or law school if he has memorization skills.

Goldy – I’ve been having great fun over at SnitWAaaaah! ever since some hack at the dying (u)SP alerted me to it’s existence. Joel Connelly told us the site was owned by two Republican consultants from Mercer Island. Do you have a link for the site’s connections to the Koch Bros.?
(Also, I was planning to write a comment there, “Five Ways ShiftWA reminds us liberals of unSound Politics.” Last point, of course, would be, “doomed to collapsing into irrelevance.”)

Goldy, you’re the last person I would have thought would Godwin a discussion.

There must be fifty ways to compare Uncle Ruckus to that allegedly black guy that trolls all the threads here

Uncle Ruckus could speak in coherent sentences.

The oldest koch brother was 10 in 1945, so I’m wondering what kind of third Reich funding you are referring to.
Goldy spews:
@4, @5, @8 If you have to explain a joke…

That “angry pool of tar” has a name, and it’s Armus. I always thought he sounded like McCain, actually.
