Is this why Dems have closed the Ellison event to the press?

Pat Powers

A new video from America Rising shows a Democratic Party, led by DNC Chairman Tom Perez, that’s increasingly desperate for attention. Out of power, and engulfed in an ideological civil war, Perez has been reduced to cursing to get attention, putting him at odds with former First Lady Michelle Obama:

Is this why South Dakota Democrats have closed off the Ellison event to the press? Because Democrats are reduced to podium profanity to get attention?

  1. Instead of George McGovern’s Come Home America speech Tomorrows SDDP dinner speech will be calling for Larry Kurtz and Porter Lansing to get your *&^%$#@! home! We need your type of !@#$%^&*

  2. ” Perez has been reduced to cursing to get attention,”– I didn’t hear you people whining when “glorious leader” did it..

    2. Trump had better ideas so he got some slack; Perez and the Demo party have crappy ideas which is why they should at least speak with some semblance of self-control. Socialism doesn’t work so I guess Perez and Dems have to go with volume instead of substance.

  3. Meanwhile, the Republican-Ied government in DC has accomplished … nothing. Wait, they did accomplish not repealing the ACA. That was classic.

  4. Is that little nearly bald arm-waving ranting speed talking foul-mouthed maniac in that movie the fellow that the Democrat party are having speak at their lunch?

    1. Grudz does Tom Perez chair of the DNC remind you of having breakfast with your old friends Bob and Lar at Talleys?

      1. Lar’s a bit of a leathered old fellow with a salty tongue but he doesn’t eat well in public and prefers the Campbell Street Cafe, but yes, Mr. Perez does remind me of Lar.

        Bob, on the other hand, does like Talleys but is a bit smoother and dresses a lot spiffier than Lar and Mr. Perez.

        I miss them both, having them banned from the blogs and exiled to Newer Mexico and Fall River County is probably a big detriment to a Democratic Party that could use some of their oomph and arm waving right now.

  5. Meh.

    The profanity of Perez and several other leading Dems is purely, coldly, calculated. It’s not that they can’t control themselves, it’s that they’ve got research indicating that the Dem base and hard-to-reach millenials react positively to coarser language – apparently there are plenty of studies indicating that some salty words sprinkled into your speech increase attention span and make the speaker seem more ‘genuine’ to many constituents.

    This is the ‘long game’ – it’s apparent (well, to me at least) that the Dems have largely written off the church-going baby boomers and are instead shifting focus to Gen X on down. So cover your ears, old man. I think our political discourse is gonna get a heck of a lot saltier going forward… for better, (or more probably) for worse.
