AFTER ZEL MILLER'S SPEECH AT THE CONVENTION, HE HAD SEVERAL INTERVIEWS. ONE OF THESE WAS WITH CHRIS MATTHEWS HOST OF MSNBC'S "HARDBALL". MR. MILLER HAD STATED IN HIS SPEECH THAT JOHN KERRY WOULD USE "SPITBALLS" AS WEAPONS IN THE "WAR ON TERROR". MR. MATTHEWS QUESTIONED MILLER'S USE OF THE TERM AND ASKED MR. MILLER IF HE TRULY BELIEVED MR. KERRY WOULD USE "SPITBALLS" AS WEAPONS.
MR. MILLER INFORMED MR. MATTHEWS THAT HE WAS USING A METAPHOR. FURTHER QUESTIONING AND SOFT PROBING OF MR. MILLER'S SPEECH RESULTED IN AN UNBELIEVABLY ANGRY RANT BY MR. MILLER. MR. MILLER WENT TO THE POINT OF SAYING HE WISHED DUELLING WAS STILL LEGAL SO HE COULD CHALLENGE MR. MATTHEWS TO A DUEL AND - BY UINDENIABLE IMPLICATION - DO HIS BEST TO KILL MR. MATTHEWS.
IS THIS ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL FIBERS OF THE CORE OF THE CURRENT REPUBLICAN PARTY? WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE, DOES THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BELIEVE THAT CHALLENGES THEY DO NOT LIKE CAN BE STOPPED BY KILLING THE CHALLENGERS? ZEL MILLER EXPRESSED WITH UNDENIABLE CLARITY THE PENALTY HE THOUGHT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR MR. MATTHEWS WHEN HE, IN EFFECT, SAID HE WISHED HE COULD SHOOT HIM.
SUCH SELF-RIGHTEOUS POMPOSITY IS ALWAYS ONE OF THE PRIMARY ARTERIES DRIVING THE HEART OF ALL DICTITORIAL REGIMES. NEVER OPEN TO REVIEW, CRITISM, OR QUESTIONING BY ANY - EVER; TO DO SO IS TO INVITE DEATH. WHAT HAPPENED HERE? ARE MR. MILLER'S VIEWS THE VIEWS OF THE MAJORITY OF ALL REPUBLICANS? IS MR. MILLER ON THE FRINGE? ARE THE CORE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAMMERING HOME A SENS OF "PATRIOTIC" NATIONALISM SO STRONG THAT IT CANNOT BEAR SCRUTINY OR REVIEW? THE DAY OUR GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL PARTIES CANNOT AFFORD OPEN QUESTIONING BY THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY IS THE DAY DEMOCRACY DIES. IS THIS THE DIRECTION WE WANT TO GO? IS THIS THE DIRECTION THE CORE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE LEADING US? I WOULD THINK NOT; HOWEVER, AFTER LISTENING TO THE SEETHING ANGER AND BLATHERING RAGE OF MR. MILLER I MUST CONFESS I AM CONCERNED. CONCERNED NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF, BUT CONCERNED FOR AMERICANS, AMERICA, AND THE REST OF THE MEMBERS OF THE WORLD COMMUNITY.
Did Zell Miller really imply that he wanted to duel with Mr. Matthews???
No, he did not. He said he wished he still lived in a time when a person COULD challenge someone to a duel. (paraphrased, of course)
Spitballs at twenty paces.

NEVER, EVER get a Marine mad - especially when they get mad enough to go into the "in your face - you are scum stance" of a DI.
And if you hear emotion in there voices, you had just better back off and pray you survive...
DON'T mess with the USMC!
P.S. I like the poem.
"NEVER OPEN TO REVIEW, CRITISM, OR QUESTIONING BY ANY - EVER..."
Besides having atrocious spelling and grammar, you neglect to remember that it is John Kerry and his comedic crowd who want to stifle free speech and in case you don't know this, that's part of the First Amendment. In case you don't know what that is just find an encyclopedia and read up on it - try Constitution. It's not hard to find unless you can't read...
Please do not attribute rat methods to others.
I can't
HEAR
you...
WHAT A PUSSY!
Be Gentle.
ROFL!
Zell Miller still believes in the concept of HONOR, a virtue that is lost by you little Marxist slimeballs. He was defending not only his own honor, but that of a young LADY whom Chrissie had trashed.
Duty, Honor, Country, Soap, Work -- foreign concepts to you and your leftist brethren.
Those b*st*rds! lol!
You guys are getting better with practice.
Geeze. I can't read that cr*p. All caps from a troll makes my eyes bleed. If I did try to read it, I'm sure my head would explode, as well. I hope you enjoyed your "Zot" experience.
Nein, Herr Doktor Goebbels, BIG LIES AND STRAWMEN are the primary arteries of DICTATORIAL regimes (not sure about bad spelling).
Dang, now my ears are hurting. Can anyone track this guy down so I can hire John Edwards to sue him?
BAHAHAHA, my roomies are now concerned about my menta well-being! i just laughed so loud at that!
You got that right
