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.
Mobuffo Nkele from the Nigerian Oil Ministry has discovered FR.
The description fits you well zot.
He sure will come in handy during fund raising time, especially if he ever gets his money out of Nigeria. We're working on it, though!
Later loser!
Hey! I like ozone. In fact ozone and me are great buddies! Fantastic chemical, staggering opportunity. Isn't capitalism grand?
Would that have anything to do with those Emails I've been getting? You know the ones about an Attorney in Nigeria that has Millions of dollars and needs your help in getting it out of country?
"THE DAY OUR GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL PARTIES CANNOT AFFORD OPEN QUESTIONING BY THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY IS THE DAY DEMOCRACY DIES."
So, you support Kerry signing his 180?
TARGET !, cease fire.
I know bed-wetting America-haters like you hate this, so...
USA!...USA!...USA!...USA!...USA!...USA!...USA!...USA!...
USA!...USA!...USA!...USA!...USA!...USA!...USA!...USA!...

...Paging Viking Kittens....Viking Kittens, you are needed on this threat STAT....Paging Viking Kittens...
Stop shouting! Turn the freaking CAPS LOCK off!
I've noticed the more articulate many people are, the bigger a moron they are. Have you?
....Maybe that's why the democratic party has so many people fooled.
You've certainly proven yourself to be an expert in this area.
I hope you stay around---you're wonderful comic relief.
LOL!
You and your party care nothing for America. You are not only unpatriotic...many of you are treasonous traitors. You drove Zell out of your party (along with many others including me) because you are a party of girlie-men losers who believe in nothing, stand for nothing and don't have the guts to defend this country in dangerous times...On November 2nd the verdict will be in...the Democratic Party and John Kerry will stand convicted of dereliciton of duty in the face of grave danger. The sentence imposed by the American people will be many years in the political wilderness until such time as Democrats learn how to be Americans again.
Oh, and the 'members of the world community' can take a long walk off a short pier for what I am concerned.
My commendations and kudos, by the way, on a successful insertion of the word 'jocularity' into a zot thread.
