what digby says...

This is a long rant, which includes a youtube clip of the Dixie Chicks on Letterman (worth the clicky if you haven't seen this) singing "Not Ready To Make Nice," along with the song's lyrics. Digby's thoughts on the song are simple:

Amen.

Did they think we were going to take their shit forever?

Don't lose your nerve Democrats. I know you hate to be "unseemly" and loathe the idea that anyone will think you are "unreasonable." I understand that having Rush say you are in thrall to the lunatic left fringe brings on a 60's flashback that leaves you dripping in a cold sweat. But get a grip on your subconscious fear of being a feeling and breathing human being and recognize that this is a good and necessary thing for your country. (You might even come to "kinda like it" like those Dixie Chicks have.) You don't have to be neutered farm animals anymore. If you're ready to take it to them we're here to get your backs.

F'sure, as we say in New Orleans. But I'd like to carry it a step further and encourage Democrats to not only stand up to the likes of the Vulgar Pigboy, but also to the "lunatic left fringe" themselves. You know, the ones who really don't care whether or not Dems screw it all up this November. They are as much a threat to a change in control of Congress in November as the Vulgar Pigbly, O'Really, Coulter, and all the other Republican surrogates out there. Stopping these madmen is important, and don't let anyone tell you that it's OK to have more years of total Republican control of our government. It's time we all feel like we "kinda like it," like the Chicks.
