The decision by the abortion rights group NARAL Pro-Choice America to pull an incendiary ad attacking President Bush's nominee to the Supreme Court has produced a fresh round of recriminations within the Democratic Party and a return to a nagging question: Has the opposition lost its nerve?
....some choice pieces:
"Republicans don't mind running an ad that's entirely false, but Democrats have never learned, and I'm not sure many of them want to learn, how to play that kind of politics," said Robert Shrum, an adviser to several Democratic presidential campaigns. NARAL had to pull the ad, he said, because "they weren't getting support from any substantial quarter."
Democratic strategist Chris Lehane, who like Shrum favors hardball politics, protested that "we Democrats bring a well-thumbed copy of Marquess of Queensberry Rules while the other side unsheaths their bloody knives, with a predictable outcome." Lehane said the NARAL ad "was great, and exactly the type of offensive that breaks through in the modern age."
More confirmation that they've lost their mind. Using the Marquess of Queensberry rules? BBBBWWWAAAAAAAAHHHHAAAAAA !!
Its kinda sad, and kinda fun to watch :-)
Both pot and kettle. A twofer.
Naw, Democrats aren't elitists....
...what in the heck does this even mean, anyway?
/Oil the Oiled?
Demwits get there Butts kicked again.
since when?
/Stalin and gang
Don't you wonder sometimes how a party that is so out of touch with reality even survives as well as it does? I swear, you have to have deep-seated emotional problems to be a Rat these days.
Where are the examples of Republican ads that are entirely false, Shrum?
It means that we are better at it than they are. And they keep getting caught lying.
And most Democrats are nodding their heads in agreement upon reading this, no doubt.
It is rediculous to compare the two.
In fact, given the amount of lawyers in the Dem party, the GOP cannot get away with the level of slander that the Rats get away with on a daily basis.
"Democrats Conflicted on Playing Rough"
But the Democrats are in full agreement in playing with themselves.
We ain't seen nothin' yet. Wait til they sense how threatening the Gorelick thing is for their Party. Gorelick's wall doomed all.
Lies, half-truths, contradictions, malevolence, obfuscation -- Mau-Mauing in other words. The only way to deflect the flak.
The usual leftist shenanigans. Expect heavy outpouring from the MSM's Democrat activists until the public is sick of it. Republicans to bail out first, I bet.
Cue the families who blame Bush for 9/11 -- off to join Ms Sheehan at Crawford. Opening soon, Michael Moore's "disAble Danger". This is serious. Hillary could be exposed. (Relax! Not literally exposed, I meant. . . .)
Robert Shrum is Monica to the KKK (Jack, Bobby, Teddy) and a failure as a democrat strategist.
This from the party that hoaxed negative National Guard memos and the media establishment that promoted the story without mentioning the controversy of the authenticity for a week.
This from the party that destroyed National Security documents from the National Archives before an investigation into the failures in procedure that permitted the 9-11 attacks to occur and the media establishment that downplayed the scandal.
This from the party that pushed the lie that President Bush was behind legislation to draft young Americans into "his" wars even though the only legislation in the House and Senate was authored by hard left Democrats and the story was pushed 24-7 (especially on Viacommie/SeeBS' MTV) by the media establishment.
Can't these fools just **** off?
