We have been too nice. We have been too polite. So says long time DNC strategist Ann Lewis in talking about the lack of a coherent message to run against the Democrats personal devil, George W. Bush. Lewis and the DNC, who post a weblog titled kicking ass on the home page of the DNC website as something to be proud of, are just part of a surging liberal enterprise clawing its way to the forefront of the American political scene.
Feeling minimized and unheard, the strident liberalism of the late 1960s is reborn today with a vengeance. The resurgence of the hard left has nothing to do with a clash of ideas inasmuch as a grasp for power. Instead, it is the blind rage the left shows with such consummate detail for President Bush that drives the candidacy of Howard Dean, and exposes the long knives in the liberal establishment.

SO SO SO SO SO sorry for excerpting... but this was an "exclusive" article and I didn't want to chance it.
It's well worth clicking on, though!

Yes, well worth it.
The more they hate us, the more they lose. Centrists are put off by rage somehow and can sense it and vote against it. It's good for conservatives when the left starts sputtering in hate-filled syllables.
To: MegaSilver
"too nice"? These strident lefties have been fulminating vitriol and calumny since the days of Ronald Reagan, in fact really since the notorious 1964 "daisy commercial" of the Johnson versus Goldwater campaign.

Good info, but I think this article sets an all-time record for spelling and grammatical errors. Proof readers must be expensive these days.

It's a well known truth that when peoples' minds become controlled by anger, they lose their intelligence - they lose their power of discrimination and the ability to make reasoned choices. There's a reason why the word "mad" means both angry
and crazy!
HEH HEH HEH!
(So sorry, I just can't stop laughing and smiling - nothing puts me in such a cheery good mood as leftists gnashing their teeth in uncontolled rage! The smell of frying leftists is so invigorating!)

US Lt. Col. Steven Russell, commmander of the 1st Battalion, 22nd Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division sprays over anti-American graffiti which reads 'We will kill every American soldier', while on patrol in Tikrit, Iraq (news - web sites), late Sunday night, Dec. 14, 2003.
To: MegaSilver
Actually, the Right has been too nice. It's long past due to take the gloves off.
The last straw for me was the Leftists trying to trash the Military vote.

"We have been too nice. We have been too polite. These people are truly insane. Totally psychotic. But this is yet another good sign from them. If they are going to ratchet up their foaming at the mouth ranting they are going to push themselves so far too the left and out of the mainstream it would take the Hubble telescope to find them on the politcal scene. Go Dems Go! Show us all how mad as hell you are and that you're not going to take it anymore. hahahahahahahah

Too nice, eh? If I posted all the hate-filled, contorted faces we've seen the radical left put on this past year, I'd bog down the server.
To: Davea
Take a minute or two over at DU and see how totally freaked they are.
The DUnderheads have lost any pretense of rationality.

After this is over, we should write a book. You Decide 2004: The Year the Left's Rage Proved its Signature Color to be Red.

The way democrats are running political discourse and their party into the ground, its a wonder one of them has not kneecapped George Bush.This would have been a perfect quote were it not for the horrible stylistic/grammatical technique in the second clause.
To: MegaSilver
Somebody please tell me the demonrats are using funny numbers and they really don't have two million members in moveon.org.
It's very discouraging to see how well they can organize when we have so much trouble with it. I'm wondering if it is not because we are so very into being rugged individualists while they are of a hive/herd mentality.
I know we are fairly new to this activist thing, but we need to play catch up real fast.

I still have a towel on the my head after a thorough shower. The DUmmies are soooo humorous. The lurking is incredible. Capturing Sad Ham Insane was the best early Christmas gift ever! Bless our troops and President George W. Bush!

Check out the official DNC Blog:
Kicking Ass.
It's as if they admit defeat... for the ass WILL be kicked come next November, and they are only bending themselves over with their insipid psychobabble.
To: Davea
I would not be surprised to eventually see a return to the New Left of the '60s with bombings, kidnappings and all.

They are really split. The 40% or so that have some sanity left can't believe their party is going to nominate Howard the Coward.

That's horrible. I was talking about American leftists. But come to think of it, in their heart of hearts are supporting ex-Saddam and his henchmen.
I was being rather flippant, and I take it back.
