WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Democrats demanded Thursday that President Bush order a halt to personal attacks on the party's leader, Sen. Harry Reid, and expressed regret that they had failed to mount a stronger defense for his defeated predecessor.
``This is a new Democratic Party,'' Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said at a news conference called to release a letter telling Bush to muzzle his ``political operatives.''
``It says to the president, `You will not intimidate us','' said Schumer, who likened the attacks on Reid to political knee-cappings.
The letter itself was written in milder terms. ``We urge you to keep your word about being a uniter and publicly halt these counterproductive attacks so that we are able to work together in a bipartisan manner and debate issues on the merits,'' it says.
Bush and the White House have denied responsibility for the attacks.
But Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate after Reid, ridiculed that assertion, as Reid did earlier in the week.

Bush is not attacking Reid. Reid, however, is attacking Bush. Tell the Democrats to muzzle Reid. And by the way, while they are at it, they should shut up as well.
To the RATS, accurately quoting them and listing their voting record is an "attack."
Aww, shucks, folks, we'd better just shut up now. THey really mean it this time!
/Sarcasm
Part of the phrase "...and the white horse you rode in on" comes to mind while contemplating an answer to the party of jihadist collaborators..
STOP TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT MY VOTING RECORD!!!
Memo to Democrats: When you stop your attacks on the president, we'll stop posting the viscious voting record of Reid.
Harry Reid seems to think that politics is like a debutante ball. Lady Reid needs to stop being so prissy if he expects anyone besides his partisan posies to take him seriously.
How many times will this get posted? Until the lie becomes the truth.
"This is a new Democratic Party,'' Sen. Chuck Schumer..."
No, it's the same old turd with a new coat of gold paint.
Bla bla blablabla, bla blabla bla.
Hey! Mr. Reid! Hello? How about stopping the attacks by you and Ms. Pelosi against the President? No?
Ths usual dem tactic.....attack, attack, lie, lie, and then accuse republicans of the same behavior and worse. Yawn.
These people must be doing some bad LSD.
They savage Condi Rice and then want the Republicans to play nice? The democrats are just crazy.
