Recall that the Swimmer's father was a defeatist going into WWII....

Good to know Ted can still shrug off his DTs long enough to issue a statement. But someone needs to remind him that when the head of the DNC, and other critics of the war, say we cannot win, that is defeatism and they are defeatists.

You hit the nail on the head, now all they need is a battle flag. I suggest a white flag with a Jackass in the middle.

"He's right. They should be labeled "TRAITORS"................"

The United States had problems with Peace Democrats back during the Civil War. Back then they were called Copperheads.

Contrary to Senator Ted ("Brando") Kennedy's assertion, labeling him and other Democrats as "defeatists" does not "silence" them. Ted remains free to waddle up to any microphone and say anything he wishes. The label only suggests that he is either a liar, a fool, or both on the Iraq War.

Less and less people may listen to Ted as time goes by. But that means his quarrel is with the people, who find him increasingly useless and irrelevant, not with the President who has labeled him "defeatist."

Did I miss anything?

Proper headline: In a news conference today, immediately after saying, "'We quit! Don't hurt us!' Kennedy said Bush was wrong to label critics "'defeatists'"

Take another drink, Teddy. Hopefully you'll give us all a great Christmas present by making your liver explode.

As for the two senators from Massachusetts, Kennedy could be labeled an unindicted murderer, an untreated alcoholic, an untreated sex addict, and an out-of-control glutton. Kerry could be labeled a pathological liar, an unindicted traitor, and a shameless gold digger.

Since Kennedy had no exit strategy for Mary Jo, he has no right to criticize our President.

Once again a Democrat Slimeball leader is lying about what the President said. President Bush welcomed constructive criticism, but condemmed defeatist attitudes. Kennedy, along with all of his Dem leaders (Dean, Pelosi, Reed, Durbin, etc.) offer no constructive suggestions, only retreat and defeat. They are fully invested in American defeat and can't imagine actually helping the cause of victory by making useful suggestions.

All DEM leaders are liars- just a fact!

I don't think he's trying to silence you, you lying, murdering bastard. Au Contrair I think he's incouraging you and the rest of the brain dead left, especially that intellectual vacuum known as Nancy Stretch Pelosi to keep on talking. Each time one of you traitors opens your mouth more and more average Americans can see what you really are.

This Elephant never forgets the Orca,.....

Let me tell ya'll a story. 'bout a man named Ted,

He drove off the bridge leavin' MaryJo for dead,

The very next day the lecherous inebriated fool,

Was busy wipe-in'. up his dirty guilty drool,

Cruel, that is,

Murder they say........
