Monday, Dec. 5, 2005 11:43 p.m. EST Michael Reagan: Dean 'Should Be Hung'
Michael Reagan, son of the late President Ronald Reagan, is blasting Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean for declaring that the U.S. won't be able to win the war in Iraq, saying Dean ought to be "hung for treason."
"Howard Dean should be arrested and hung for treason or put in a hole until the end of the Iraq war!" Reagan told his Radio America audience on Monday.
Reagan was reacting to Dean's comments earlier in the day, when the top Democrat said that the "idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong."
In a Texas radio interview, Dean predicted a rerun of the Vietnam debacle, where U.S. forces had to withdraw after Congress voted to cut support for South Vietnam's government.
"This is the same situation we had in Vietnam," the top Democrat said. "Everybody then kept saying, 'just another year, just stay the course, we'll have a victory.' Well, we didn't have a victory, and this policy cost the lives of an additional 25,000 troops because we were too
stubborn to recognize what was happening."
Dean said he favored a plan to immediately withdraw National Guard and Reserve troops - with all military personnel slated to be out of Iraq within two years.
Right - Ron is the demo and Mike is Conservative...
I feel the same way about Bella Pelosi (quotation credit, Michael Savage). They make me mad, but they're such idiots that I know we could never get anybody as ineffectual in those jobs. Reid is the same way in the senate, now that I come to think about it. The only thing that worries me is that the enemy doesn't know they're clowns, they think they represent a serious portion of the population, and they draw courage from these kinds of statements. Saddam draws encouragement from them. So this I think is what Mike was getting at. These people really do need to be shut up so they stop getting our people killed. It's not a theoretical exercise that it might endanger the troops but "they have a right." It's about, to use their phrase, "our troops are dying every day" because of their seditionist talk. There simply have to be some limits set as to how far they can go.
BINGO!
Right. Another way to look at it is Michael is the straight one who was never a member of a ballet troupe.
Heh heh. Hank Hill's Father in King of the Hill: Ah give mah shins for mah country in Ko-rea, boy!
Or at the very least throw him in jail and forget where you put the key!
IF he were, he wouldn't have such a complex.
Guess that was your accomplice back there in the chipper.
American Heritage usage panel gives an OK to hung, meaning hung by the neck till dead, but preference to hanged.
I agree.
No way is that true.
Hope Reagan says more like that, every day.
That's because in today's USA, there's no such thing as a Declaration of War.
Sad ... the corruption of the English language continues.
Now, watch the MSM pile on Reagan for promoting violence and a specific violent crime against Dean. They will demand a Special Prosecutor - or at least a billion-dollar civil lawsuit - and meanwhile demand an apology from the RNC for fomenting political hate and vicious partisanship through Ken Mehlman's "intemperate statement" about Dean.
Then, sometime during the investigations and trials of the next three or four years, Michael Reagan's actual words might leak out into the media and get reported - somewhere in the 12th paragraph or as a 5 second voiced-over sound bite. Then, Dean's words will at last be made public by the "reputable" news organizations.
But, at least it's a start!
Dean is doing as much for the Democrat Party as Cardinal Law is doing for the Catholic Church.
Two major symbols of Pernicious minds at work.

AND that he looks like he's always on the verge of burping - didja all ever notice that??
