Zell's speech is a major reason Bush got such a big bounce. That's why the liberal media has moved Zell to the top of its hit list. The media's venomous personal attacks on Zell reveal how petty and childish these self-styled intellectuals in the media really are. The L.A. Times called his speech "vile." I don't remember them using that word to describe the demagogic speeches of Ted Kennedy, Al Sharpton, and, of course, Al Gore. For some reason, listing Kerry's votes against various weapons systems is "vile," but saying Bush "betrayed America" is not.
I couldn't agree more.
Clarity with the thump and fervor of 'Ol Time Religion, Zell spoke with an honesty long unheard in the county where political correctness has tried to snub it out. Where the McCain-Feingold fiasco tried to silence freedom of speech for all but the media; where John Kerry tried to silence the chorus of fellow Veterans who find him unfit to command Zell Miller laid all that had to be said, on the table we can only hope more such honesty will be heard in the land in these next few weeks. If terrorism isnt stopped, all other issues will be meaningless.
I actually heard one of the Dem talking heads saying that there was nothing angry in their convention and that they only talked about the issues. What nerve!
I'M MAD AS ZELL, AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!
Just went to Apple to dowload the Zell speech, and guess what the top five searches are today (9/4)?
Hot Searches:
1. Hurricane Frances
2. President Bush
3. SETI
4. Zell Miller
5. Serena Williams
It was particularly good because of the DETAIL. He didn't just said "Kerry voted to cut defense," Zell said "He voted against the F-15 that flew protective missions over this city on 9/11," or, "He voted against the B-1 bomber that delivered 80% of the ordinance against Tora Bora." He only had ONE reference amidst all the weapons systems to things used in IRAQ, and everything else was the Gulf War, Afghanistan, or 9/11. Very powerful stuff.
Zell also made it clear that nothing was done about it during Clinton terms, that Americans had been murdered by terrorists for years listing each atrocity.
