Seriously...since when are Republicans "constantly berating liberals" for crying?
usarugulaJan 31, 2011
To be fair, quirk, Republicans are too busy berating liberals for things that *aren't* real - like death panels, FEMA camps, costs of trips to India, the removal of "In God We trust" from coins, Socialist takeovers, Muslims living in the White House, Sharia Law, Kenyan citizenships, tax hikes, Michelle Obama "whitey" tapes, and rampant left wing violence.
jdenzerJan 31, 2011
"Seriously...since when are Republicans "constantly berating liberals" for crying?"
When Hillary teared up in the 08 elections. The GOP attacked her for that. Calling the act unpresidential. Saying it was a sign of weakness. Saying that it would show weakness among our enemies, etc.
ultimisJan 31, 2011
@jdenzer
I recall the Obama camp doing that. I'm sure a few Hillary haters also pointed it out (and there are many).
jdenzerJan 31, 2011
@ultimis
How does that exempt the right attacking her? So your logic is the Obama camp criticized her, so that makes it ok for Hannity, Rush, and Fox News to call her weak and unpresidential?
ultimisFeb 1, 2011
I'm saying mostly is the the democrats who were doing it. And a quite a few Hillary haters on the republican side. And your example falls as the two circumstances are different. One is Hillary who really has never shed a tear in public until she was running for office, and the other is a person who has shed tears many times in public (and isn't running for office). Obama's camp rightly pointed out that it was a political stunt during the election. Which it was. How is Boehner pulling a political stunt on this?Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
jdenzerFeb 1, 2011
So crying to give Billions of tax dollar to banks (TARP) is genuine. And then months later saying it was wrong and blaming it on Obama. Is no way a political stunt. You want to talk about stunts. Remember Boehner was the one on the House floor giving out checks to lobbyists. So spare me the Hillary does it for political stunts and Boehner is genuine. Please don't be foolish and insult my intelligence.

I guess you only consider it "spin" when it's something you don't like? That says more about you, I think, then it does the subject at hand.
I'm not aware of him "constantly sobbing"--didn't look like he was crying during the interview, for example. Perhaps you mean "frequent sobbing"? He didn't have much to say about that as near as I could tell, though I've seen other interviews in which his friends have all said this is something he's done for as long as they've known him.

So you would never criticize a liberal for crying? And you totally agree that it was unfair to attack Hillary for crying in the 08 elections. And Hannity, Rush, and Fox news were completely out of line for attacking her. It was wrong to say she showed weakness and that she was unprsidential?

Beyond my other comment up the thread in response to you. Hillary cried as a political stunt. Boehner is more similar to Glenn Beck who apparently gets emotional and tears up often.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
jdenzerJan 31, 2011
Are you sure you want to make that comparison? You might want to think about that again. I don't even think the die hard conservatives on digg would back you up. You do realize that Beck is an entertainer and cries solely for ratings? Somehow I don't think you want to say that Boehner cries for political gain, b/c that is what you are basically saying.
Plus Hillary's crying is debatable, you can't prove she did it for political gain. Unlike Boehner who cried for TARP. He was sobbing on the House floor to give billions to the banks. And 6 months later when Obama became POTUS, he acted like TARP was the worse thing ever and tried to put the entire blame on Obama. So explain to me how any of that could not be for political gain?
ultimisFeb 1, 2011
First off No. If you know any history behind Glenn Beck (which you obviously don't) it is well recorded his emotional out bursts (tears). He didn't just recently, when his show went national, start crying in public.
Secondly you dodged my point of a consistent emotional baggage. Where Hillary had none. I can't prove? Find me a video of her crying at a public event before the democratic primaries. It doesn't exist for a reason.
Lastly you are just pointing out when he has cried. He has gotten emotional THROUGHOUT his public career. Mostly his only audience during these periods is other politicians. I doubt they were swayed by his unmanly tears over random issues.
You are wrong. There is no comparison. Drop it.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

jdenzerJan 31, 2011
The reason why it is just a 'big deal' is b/c unlike Hillary who teared up once, Boehner does it on numerous times and on cue.
No one on the left is trying to judge him as less a man for crying. With the exception of those who want cheap laughs. We are simple pointing out the hypocrisy of the right who now thinks, crying is a good things and 'no big deal' Even though they feel it's ok to cry for tarp, cry when becoming speaker, etc. It has gotten to the point where Boehner is a joke.
Plus let's not forget who brought it up, the man himself. If he would have left it alone, nobody would be talking about it. It would get old.
Let's not forget that those on the right pounce on Hillary's crying during the 08 elections. They tried to portray her as weak and unpresidential. When she didn't even tear up like Boehner has. And she hasn't done it since. And now you want to act like it isn't?

"Typical Liberal response--pretend like it wasn't a big deal back when one of your guys did it "
So you're saying it was a big deal when Hillary cried during 08 elections? And she deserved to be attacked by the right and called weak and unpresidential?
And now Boehner who has cried more times than all the Speakers combined in the last 30 years, should be left alone, b/c it is no Big Deal? Hillary 'cries' ones and Boehner cries several times. And she is the one who deserves to be criticized? Yeah that makes sense.
Tell me would you offer the same defend to Pelosi if she cried as much as Boehner, what about Obama?
My guess is not.
Like I said we are pointing out the hypocrisy of the right and not the saying that Boehner is less of a man for crying. Although crying for tarp is a little creepy.
atomheartmotherJan 31, 2011
I remember people from Obama's camp attacking her for crying during the election as well. And most Republicans I know were and are more inclined to support Hillary than they were Obama, seeing her as the lesser of two evils. I don't subscribe to that view, but it's there.

I don't mind our leaders showing emotion, except in Boehner's case, it seems incredibly fake and contrived, the same way Glenn Beck constantly tears up for his audience. Genuine emotion is great. Fake emotion just to get sympathy is a load of bulls**t.

I'm a liberal, so I feel things. I don't mind if people feel things and show emotion...except for Boehner. He's a Republican...so, if he shows emotion...it's terrible. He's probably an alcoholic. I'm betting because he's Republican that he's banging an aide.

Oh just FACE it...if he was a liberal...all you liberals would be saying, "Hey...he FEELS things, man... you can tell." I kind of admire him for showing that side of him...because I'm a right-wing conservative and yeah, part of the deal is that you suck it up and forge ahead. I'm still a girl. Crying ALL the time is completely unproductive...but crying in a big emotional moment is no shame.
I'll tell you what. Last Jan 4, I got a call that my mom was dead early in the morning and I didn't wake up for the phone. She was dead two miles from me in her assisted living facility. They left a message, but I woke up. My grandma left another message on my phone. Then I woke up and called my grandma before checking messages and she told me, "Your mom is dead."
Then I called the assisted living facility and said I was coming. They said, "You need to get here as quickly as you can." I said, "Why? She's dead, right?" They said..."Well...we..." and I said, "I'm going to be there in ten minutes, but she's dead, right?"
They said yes. I had two brothers who were also called and one of them beat me there. One was calling me and I had to tell him mom was dead.
Now...as a Republican. Am I allowed to cry about that?
Should my brothers have been allowed to cry? We're Republicans, you see.
None of us cried.
The nurses at the place were worried about me coming into mom's room...because it was SO bad.
And I said, "It's ok. I'm ok. I worked in the ER. I know what I'm going to see."
Do you want to know what I saw? And do you want to know how it smelled?
Are you crying yet? Should you cry?
Should I have cried?
Should I have cried when I won on Jeopardy and my father wasn't there to see it?
If I have a child...or meet the man of my dreams....should I cry?
What should I cry about?
And if I enjoy a cigarette....should I cry?
Good grief America....
GOOD GRIEF AMERICA....
MAYBE some of you should CRY more often.
You pussies playing video games.
You asswipes posting on the internet.
You cultural bullies.
Maybe you, like I did, can take a moment....MINE...it was in private.
Once I had dealt with the coroner who was a work colleague of mine and he told me, "This is the way nurses WANT to die...."
Once I had given the funeral home an outfit that I had bought for my mom a week earlier and I had answered their questions and forked over my credit card so that my mom would have an OBITUARY...so that my grandma could at least, read it in the paper.
ONCE I did all that.... I went home and I cried. I cried until I fell asleep.
If you want to judge Boehner for crying.... well, maybe he has more to teach you MEN than you know.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

I suppose there is some sort of biological explanation, though, perhaps an overactive sense of empathy or sympathy.

This is not about the right to express one's emotions. This is about a supposed national leader who cannot control his emotions in public. That is a recipe for disaster.

It took 30 hours at minimum wage to pay for a course, books and all. Could a student do that today?)
