"That's how guilt-by-association works. Make a charge and then — once your attack is out there — pretend that your words have been misinterpreted"


Now that the nice Liberal from the Seattle Times has made his statement, and of course we believe him because he is so wise, sagacious, and a Liberal - then let's apply the nasty Modus Operandi to Senator Durbin.

Gotcha, ya nasty lil Liberals!

It turned out that McCarthy was right.

Please define what you call a "Judaic sacrament."

Where was the outrage for Moveon.org and 527s? Oh, it's like Palestinians after 911, they all cheered, except here they cheer at their own death. Liberals are no therapuists nor mere traitors, they are the suicidal employees butt k$$ers of the terrorists.

McCarthism would be an honor persecution to grand for them, their stupidity warrants no such considerations.

Christ said He came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. The word sacrament derives from the Latin word 'sacramentum' originally meaning 'an oath of allegiance.' The Latin word sacramentum was used in translating the Greek word 'mysterion' (mystery) in the Latin New testament. I don't think the Jews use the word "sacrament" although some people equate that with "sacrifice." If that is what you meant, Christ did not "reject" Jewish sacrifices at all. Jesus is God Himself, and gave the sacrifices to the Jewish people as a means of atoning for sins.

By His coming to earth and becoming the sacrifice for all of humanity (the lamb of God), Christ fulfilled the law.

What the Liberals would like is for the Republicans to get in the mud with them and join them in their insanity. As much as we like to rip Republicans for their spineless responses, by staying above the fray and responding to their insanity with reason, the contrast becomes that more apparent between us.

We take away the enemies charge that Republicans are hatemongers by killing them with kindness. At the same time skewering their hate filled diatribes by holding a mirror up to their behavior.

I have been finding myself filled with rage against their treason. Instead of rage, our energy needs to be used to find the center of balance to use their own rage against them to make them look even more foolish.
(If that is possible)

This is exactly what Carl Rove accomplished. He didn't scream, he didn't yell he wasn't angry but his words were devastating judging from the squeals from the Liberals.

Throughout this entire screed, you'll notice Dionne never denies the truth of the charges made either by McCarthy or Rove. He simply attacks the bearers by changing the subject, innuendo, accusations of malicious intent, and garish attacks on their personal character and intentions.

He never claims the charges are false.

He can't.

In the 1950s, the right wing attacked liberals for being communists.

In the 2000s, the left wing attacked Pres. Bush for being Hitler.

What's the difference between McCarthy and Dionne? At least McCarthy was right about something.

"In the 1950s, the right wing attacked liberals for being communists"

Should read, "In the 50s, the right wing attacked Soviet-infiltrated communists working in the US government. The Kremlin files documented that McCarthy was actually correct in some cases.

"Respectable opinion treats Rove's speech as just another partisan flap. It's much more. It's the reincarnation of a style of politics that turns political opponents into traitors or dupes who are soft on the nation's enemies."

Opinion considered "respectable" by whom? Only the ill-informed or disingenuous would "treat Rove's speech as just another partisan flap." It is much more. It's a clever use of truthful information to cause those who are, or act as though they are, "traitors or dupes who are soft on the nation's enemies" to reveal themselves, or to recognize themselves for what they are, as well as helping others to recognize them for what they are. Karl Rove turned no one into a traitor or a dupe - they made those choices for themselves long before Karl Rove's speech.

E.J. Dumbass still belives Alger Hess was a patriotic American.

Can someone tell me if Tucker Carlson is really E.J.'s adopted son?

Stalinism by the liberals is much more devastating than McCarthyism.
