Collection of Despair. Democrat Hopes for Americas failing.

Various | self

[lepton]

If we don't already have one, I think we need a thread demonstrating the breadth of the Democrats and their allies hopes against America.

There have been many scattered quotes through FR of posters from DU and other sites, as well as comments by members of the media despairing that the U.S. is succeeding in Iraq, and that the economy is growing. Please help out and post links and brief (documentable/documented) quotes here.

Yep! Yesterday Bill Mahr was on Larry King and you could see the fear in his and King's eyes when they were discussing the possibility that Bin Laden maybe hidden somewhere by Bush Administration, and they would bring him out near Convention time....

Albright: Bin Laden Comments Were 'Tongue-in-Cheek'

"She said, 'Do you suppose that the Bush administration has Usama bin Laden hidden away somewhere and will bring him out before the election?'" said Fox News analyst and Roll Call executive editor Mort Kondracke. "She was not smiling."

The Campaign of Hate and Fear - Orson Scott Card

We are being lied to and "spun," and not in a trivial way. The kind of dishonest vitriolic hate campaign that in 2000 was conducted only before black audiences is now being played on the national stage; and the national media, instead of holding the liars' and haters' feet to the fire (as they do when the liars and haters are Republicans or conservatives), are cooperating in building up a false image of a failing economy and a lost war, when the truth is more nearly the exact opposite.

Please post documentable examples or links to examples to Dem hysteria over Hussein capture and other good news for America.

SADDAMFREUDE WATCH - Andrew Sullivan

Looking at the way the Dems are self-destructing, it shouldn't take too long to come up with new examples....altho the next holiday week or 2 will probably keep political news at a minimum.

Tonite's Special Report has a long segment near the beginning of Dean's speech today.

It's full of examples, and I'll provide at least one or 2 tomorrow.

Catch the repeat if you can later.

Later the panel dissects the speech to Dean's great disadvantage.

You might want to read JimRob's position on vanity posts.

They've gone mad (Ollie North on the RATS)

Media coverage of the capture has been as surreal as the Democrats' conspiracy conjectures. After watching jubilant Iraqis celebrating Saddam's apprehension, ABC anchor Peter Jennings saw only sadness and morosely concluded, "There's not a good deal for Iraqis to be happy about at the moment." Jennings "informed" the American public that life for Iraqi citizens is "very chaotic ... beset by violence ... (and) not as stable for them as it was when Saddam Hussein was in power."

This is no vanity post, but a thread collecting Dems' actual words of ill will toward the U.S.

lepton, here's what Dean said yesterday in Manchester:

"We are no safer today than we were when terrorists struck the WTC."

Now that was even too much for liberal Jeff Birnbaum, who questioned the candidate's judgment and seriousness.

Presumably Mara Liaisson, if she had been part of the Fox panel last night, would have found a way to excuse or explain away this nonsense.

Political satire

It is a strange state of affairs when U.N. diplomats, displaying an imperious non-accountability that pretty much went out of style with the divine right of Bourbons, are to be congratulated, sort of, just for acknowledging the existence of facts that need accounting for. That is, in refusing to pin blame, point fingers or comment on the past, they have in fact admitted there is something in the past upon which to pin blame, point fingers and comment. Even this implicit admission, it turns out, is something. Or so it seems after absorbing some of the weirder, practically extraterrestrial exercises in denial of another, even more palpable fact — the capture of Saddam Hussein.
