Pathetic, loser RNC declares war on conservative grassroots, eager to remove them from GOP landscape

Good! Keep talking.

4/4/13, "RNC Declares War on Conservative Grassroots," Breitbart, Michael Patrick Leahy

"At a meeting of the Ripon Society held in Washington, D.C.'s exclusive Capitol Hill Club on Tuesday, new Republican National Committee Chief of Staff Mike Shields effectively declared war on the conservative grassroots. In a strong attack, Shields coined a new derogatory term, "the professional right," to refer to groups that have publicly criticized the recent RNC "Autopsy" report.

"It's a term I'll be using often in the coming months," he told the crowd of about 40 Ripon Society members, RNC insiders, and Capitol Hill staffers. But Reagan biographer Craig Shirley, who was not one of those in attendance at the meeting, was quick to note that Shields's new term had already backfired. “As opposed to what, unprofessional Republicans?" he shot back.

"These attacks on conservatism by the Establishment GOP are reminiscent of those made against Reagan all through the 1960’s and 70’s and even into his presidency,” Shirley added.

Shields, five weeks into his new job as RNC Chief of Staff, applauded the RNC on its "courage" in publicizing its own "Autopsy" report. According to the source, Shields "gloated that not even the Democratic National Committee was critical of the report, while only the 'professional right' pounced on it."

When questioned about his eagerness to offend the “professional right” even as he was reaching out to other groups, Mr. Shields fairly bristled.  According to our source, Shields stated that he is totally eager and willing to remove "the professional right" from the GOP.  “They won’t come to us and ask. They just send out lies and ask for money. I have to tear up mailings at my own parents’ house and tell them which emails to delete,” he said, according to the source.

According to the source, Shields lumped “grassroots supporters” into the same lot as the “professional right," and displayed an equal distaste for both groups. 

Reagan biographer Shirley told Breitbart News that “[i]f this was said, it was a mistake that will come back to haunt the RNC, just as so many other mistakes are now haunting the RNC.”

Breitbart News reached out Thursday late morning to the RNC for comment and clarification of Shields's remarks. As of publication, we have not received a response."

Commenter received call from RNC who lamely said they have to win the Senate back in 2014. Their guy Karl Rove lost 10 Senate races for them in 2012. Not only is loser Karl Rove still their guy, they even send Rove to the House to tell congressmen what to do.

the guy from the RNC said that he understands me and that he's also a conservative first and then a Republican (blah-blah-blah), but that we need to win the Senate back in 2014, etc. and I told him that this is exactly why I support the conservative candidates directly - the RNC is on the side of the RINOs and that's not worth one penny of my money."

""Republican strategist Karl Rove huddled with a group of House GOP leaders in the office Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy Thursday morning to discuss the party's messaging efforts, Republicans familiar with the meeting said.

Details of Rove's presentation to a group of McCarthy's "whip team" — a subset of the broader conference tasked with educating the rank and file, rounding up votes on key bills and generally enforcing discipline within Republican ranks.

Following the meeting, several lawmakers could be heard instructing staff to setup meetings with Rove."...

Rush Limbaugh explains the GOP establishment after the historic Nov. 2010 elections. They weren't happy about all the new people we gave them:

"The ruling class of the Republican Party doesn't want conservatives having any kind of a foothold, any success or any leadership in the party. ...(item half way down page)....So it appears to me they're (GOP) perfectly happy being in the minority if it means not supporting conservatives.

Apparently the
