From "Wolf Blitzer Reports" staff CNN Thursday, September 2, 2004 Posted: 5:26 PM EDT (2126 GMT) NEW YORK (CNN) -- Talking about his own party Thursday night, Democrat Zell Miller said, "Our nation is being torn apart and made weaker because of the Democrats' manic obsession to bring down our commander in chief." Talking about Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, Miller said, "This is the man who wants to be the commander in chief of our U.S. Armed Forces? U.S. Forces armed with what? Spit balls?" Miller's keynote address to the Republican National Convention was a passionate and pointed attack. "Motivated more by partisan politics than by national security, today's Democratic leaders see America as an occupier, not a liberator. And nothing makes this Marine madder than someone calling American troops occupiers rather than liberators," Miller said. His remarks came in sharp contrast to earlier convention speeches from moderate Republicans like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rudy Giuliani.

You know what's funny about this? Yea, like people don't like fiery speeches. So ridiculous. Notice the two articles about the backfire theory were from CNN and MSNBC.

Hey, why not lie about what night he spoke as well.

There is absolutely nothing true in this lame propaganda at all.

Wishful thinking it is. Everyone I talked with today about the speach thought it was incredible and devastating to Kerry.

Doesn't matter if it could have. Bush's speech is now the overriding factor.

But Zell's speech didn't backfire. It brought out a lot of things forcefully. Sure, it was hard hitting and may have made some folks uncomfortable, but they now know things they didn't know about or may not have thought of.
