Dem Senator: “Negotiating With Republicans Is Almost Like Negotiating With Terrorists” (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, December 3, 2010, 4:32 PM
That’s weird.
Democrats love negotiating with evil dictators and terrorists.
Now their comparing negotiations with Republicans to negotiations with terrorists? They hate Republicans.
It’s so confusing.
Lib Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) said negotiating with Republicans is almost like negotiating with terrorists.
The Note reported:
ABC News’ Jonathan Karl reports: Did Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) just compare Republicans to terrorists?
Well, not really. But he did compare negotiating with Republicans to negotiating with terrorists.
At a press conference with fellow Democrats, Menendez lashed out at Republicans for opposing Democratic efforts to extend the Bush tax cuts for the middle class while allowing the tax cuts for the wealthy to expire.
He accused the Republicans of holding middle class tax cuts “hostage” to tax cuts for the wealthy. That’s a common Democratic line, but Menendez took the analogy a step further.
Asked if Democrats have a responsibility to move forward with a bill that can become law – in other words, a bill Republicans will support and not block– here’s what Menendez said:
“Do you allow yourself to be held hostage and get something done for the sake of getting something done, when in fact it might be perverse in its ultimate results? It’s almost like the question of do you negotiate with terrorists.”
Republicans are crying foul.
“It’s astounding that Senators from New York and New Jersey would compare people who want to prevent a tax increase to terrorists.” said Brad Dayspring, spokesperson for incoming House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. “. In the 10 seconds it took to utter the phrase, they effectively revealed why people don’t trust Democrats on issues of fiscal or national security. They just don’t get it.”

Menendez is slipping in his old age. He forgot to call them Nazis, too.
Lindsey Lohan commented:
So if Progressives stay true to form, then after Republicans are done negotiating with them they’ll get everything they want, including glowing reviews and writeups in all the Lefty newspapers. Maybe even a speaking or book tour for the most aggressive Republicans.
TXPatriot commented:
But I thought they WANTED bipartisanship. What changed?
Perspectives commented:
Yeah, but Senator Menendez’s daughter’s mouth gives me a woody
when she speaks. Somehow, he deserves some credit for that.
Jim commented:
I am actually surprised, yes surprised, by the complete and utter anger, hatred, and ferocity of the left’s attacks since arriving back from their break. Liberals best be careful about their rhetoric and their actions. And Menendez, since you’re now so experienced perhaps we can ship you to the NW Paki frontier so you can negotiate with terrorists. I’m sure it’s easier for you.
BigAlSouth commented:
Ahhhh Senator. Only if . . . .
tommy mc donnell commented:
” its about giving every working american a tax break.” i guess if yiu make a million dollars yopu don’t work.
Raul Bosque commented:
So I guess they are thrilled to talk to Republicans then right?
Ed commented:
The funny thing here is that a democrat is trying to tell us that they know how to negotiate with terrorists! is that why Obama got punked by a fake taliban leader?
here’s the truth, don’t ever negotiate with democrats…to negotiate with them simply means to give them what they want.
PaleRyder commented:
This perfectly sums up the entire democrat population in this nation. The American public just overwhelmingly trashed the dems and installed the reps. in charge in DC. What else should we expect from the hate and contempt and loathing for America that defines the democrat party???
marsouin commented:
What are the Democrats complaining about, they have a lot of practice negotiating with terrorists – PLO, Hamas, Iran, North Korea, Soviet Russia …. And conservatives/libertarians should play the Dems for morons like terrorists have done.

These people are just revolting. They aren’t real Americans. I think they are all mentally ill.
Ice commented:
No, that can’t be a true conclusion because the Democrats have given terrorists everything they want….geez, they don’t even call them ‘terrorists’ anymore.
Can the Democrats give us an example of a ‘terrorist’ that they actually ever really negotiated with instead of just surrendering?
And now after that comment by Democrats, just how is the Bi-partisian process suppose to be taken seriously.
JD commented:
Didn’t Chris Christie make fun of this loser earlier in the week? Why, yes, I think he did.
Bobby M. better be careful. NJ may decide on a republican senator when tough guy Menendez is up for re-election.
Valerie commented:
Oh, so they’re going to be nice and conciliatory, like this administration has been toward Iran?

Yeah, I know.

This is a funny bunch of comments. Republicans are bastardizing everything the congress stands for and people whine about Dems.
Obama has given the terrorists everything they want? How interesting. I guess thats why we are still spending billions to complete a mass murderers handiwork. You guys are funny! I may come back here, I will call it the message board of old tired republican talking and useless points
gus commented:
Winslow. Go fukk yourself.
ar05075 commented:
Well, the left considers most of Americans, terrorists– so maybe the repubs are on the right track.
Ginger commented:
Gus
He can’t he likes to be fisted!
gus commented:
These same motherfukkers rammed bill after bill down the publics throat. We’ve said NO. They still don’t get it. Bob Menedez is a hack and a piece of sh1t. If he doesn’t like it, he too can fukk himself. LIBTARDS time is up.
Ed commented:
when I saw winslow’s post I thought to myself that somewhere a village is missing their idiot.
gmsc commented:
Democrats think negotiating with Republicans is like negotiating with terrorists?
Good – then they’ll give into every Republican demand, demand one-way tolerance for us, and have 0bama bow before every Republican!
Chisum commented:
I guess Menendez didn’t get the memo.
They’re not terrorists, they are “Man-Caused Disaster-ers”.
Bad liberal. No cookie for you.
Militant Conservative commented:
Come on down here and I’ll show you terrorist. You accused me of this already.
I detest the leadership at present, bunch of wimps. come to the real America you fly over and ask the silly questions, even your former Democrat supporters will hand you your ass.
The question has become God and Country or party and self.
Democrats have shown America your not for God nor the Country. Your for your self.
That is why your getting handed your ass in the elections and it looks like this is not going to change. Socialists, you just don’t learn you always have to hide your spots.
You outted yourselves and America was awake when you did it. LOL
powder is dry and I remind the masses every day. Printed proof and videos too.
i’m a journalist dont cha know. LOL technology is wonderful hammer.

VeryConcerned commented:
Negotiating with dims IS negotiating with terrorist. It’s their sole goal in life and their job to try to use the constitution as toilet paper as often as possible. If it’s the un-American thing to do, you will have a dimocrat backing it, if it’s more regulation and less freedom, you will have a dimocrat backing it, if it’s using minorities and certain groups as props and acting like you care when they are just the purpose to justify a means, you will have a dimocrat backing it, if it’s bigger government and more bureaucrats between you and prosperity, you will have a dimocrat backing it, it’s less freedom for you the American citizen and more freedom for illegals and terrorist, you will have a dimocrat backing it, if it’s about taking from the people who carry the water and who produce and giving it to the people who drank the water and consume solely on your labor, it will be backed by a dimocrat. The Dims are the long term terrorist aka multiple generation terrorist, the terror that continues on to your grand-kids type of terrorist! That’s right, I said it!
Btw, apparently Dimslow is a drone and sympathizer to the terrorist cause.
CT commented:
How does the Senator think it feels to live in a state represented in the Senate by a cadaver and a Spanish speaking Marxist dictator? Get over yourself Menendez the resistance wants you gone yesterday.

Eddie Kovacs commented:
Oh, so we’re like terrorists when you’re negotiating with us, eh, Dems? Well, you’ve negotiated with terrorists before, so you know what you’ve got to do, right?
That’s right: APPEASE US!!! KNEEL BEFORE YOUR MASTERS, you infidels, and APPEASE US!!!
Opaobie commented:
Put his claim to the test. Parachute him into the middle of any Taliban or Al Qa’ida stronghold and let him “negotiate” with them for a while and see if it’s the same experience as negotiating with Republicans. No wonder they use a Jackass as their symbol.
Old Fan commented:
What a fine loser.
So, is this evidence the Democrats did not learn a thing from the Midterms?
Do they actually have brains? Or are they simply being swayed by a blind tunnel of Partisan denial?
What a joke.
Utter disaster.
A Visionary commented:
Well, I, for one, think that Senator Bob Mendendez’s sexy daughter, Aliciia, often seen on Bill O’Reilly’s program, makes an excellent case for establishing detente with certainly all sexy, liberal babes, if not with their batty fathers. I could overlook Alicia’s politics and her family.
Horndog commented:
I agree, Visionary. Alicia is Bob’s one and perhaps his only redeeming asset.
Also, you know, us horndogs could unite Republicans and Democrats.
Fellow horndog, Bill Clinton, had that vision, too. But he was into skanks.
gastorgrab commented:
If the Democrats actually believed that the GOP were terrorists, the Dems would be defending them.
Who was it that said; “One persons terrorist is another persons freedom fighter”?
.
Larkin commented:
O.K. Listen up! Here’s how this is gonna go.
You democrat losers…you all act like winners now.
You republican winners…you all roll over and play loser.
It’s the way we do things around here.

There are only 2 Cuban communists in Congress – Menendez in the senate & his buddy Albio Sires in the House. Both are products of Hudson Co. party machine – NJ equivalent of Cook County. Local politicians over there have 50/50 chance of being locked up for corruption.
Menendez has no problem with terrorists: when he was a mayor of Union City he saved from foreclosure with a timely money grant no other than that wacky imam who plans to build WTC mosque. Imam still owns some dilapidated property in that town. Also, Menendez, while speaking to some Hispanic audience had promised to work on healthcare “reform” because Hispanic kids were deserving of good healthcare than white ones. Naturally, it got no play in the media.
Expect a big fight between Christie & Menendez next year. Christie nearly derailed lil’ Bobby’s appointment to the senate 4 years ago with several timely arrests of Dem politicians connected to Menendez. They both know there’s no room for both of them in NJ.
