DNC Spokesman Claims Democrats Never Used 'Extreme Rhetoric' Against Bush Mark Hemingway January 31, 2012 1:45 PM
Via Real Clear Politics, Democratic party spokesman Brad Woodhouse makes a bizarre assertion in response to Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus comparing Obama to the captain of a wrecked Italian cruise ship:
"Many Republicans will say didn't Democrats attack George Bush in exactly the same way. what's your response to that?," Bashir asked Woodhouse.
"I don't remember anything that equates from official Democratic Party. I mean, of course there are interest groups and people have their say, but I don't remember anything coming from Democratic Party about George W. Bush being equated to a terrorist or George W. Bush being equated to somebody who has been accused of manslaughter. I don't remember anybody questioning some of the things about George W. Bush that have been questioned about the president. I don't remember an opposing Governor wagging his or her finger in president George W. Bush's face," Woodhouse said.
"The truth is, is that the Republican Party starts from a core of extreme positions and it seems that leads to extreme rhetoric when things don't work out for them with the voters," he said.
Now, I'm not sure Priebus's comments about Obama are anybody's idea of elevating the discourse. That said, are Democrats really going to try and claim the high ground here? Let me jog Woodhouse's memory a bit—here's former Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean drawing an implicit comparison between Bush and the president of Iran back in 2006. Here's a DNC memo from 2008 that says Bush administration criticism of labor unions is tantamount to questioning the patriotism of the heroes of 9/11. And that's just from a quick Google. I'm sure many more examples abound, to say nothing of current DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz's recent suggestions that the Tea Party is responsible for the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords.
I understand party spokesmen are inclined to gild the lily, but this attempt at spin is disconnected from reality.
Yes, and the earth is square too.
ROFLOL!!
In other words, please stop trying to prevent our ongoing slow-motion revolution and subversion of the constitution with your tiresome references to truth.
Would say get a grip on reality, this revolution is OVAH !!
Unreal. Are they forgetting that this is from the past decade, and not ancient history no one remembers?
Let’s suggest we run GWB for a third term then - see how they react...
Democrat politicians and hacks are becoming more and more comfortable employing lies as their first resort.
The really sad part?
He actually believes this!
Was looking for what the DNC did bloviate and found this in relation to the pipe line oZero stopped from 2007 http://www.allamericanpatriots.com/48725513_george_w_bush_dnc_bush_republican_energy_policy_just_more_same_old_song : ““For the last six years, the Bush Administration and its Republican allies have allowed our nation’s energy policy to be guided by its special interest cronies and the result has been greater dependence on foreign oil and record high gas prices at the pump,” said Democratic National Committee Press Secretary Stacie Paxton. “Now, as Democrats work to make America energy independent, President Bush and the GOP presidential hopefuls continue to offer nothing more than the same old failed policies.”
“Democratic party spokesman Brad Woodhouse............”
There’s one not to worry about pickin’ his brains.
And how many dem reps said Bush was hitler? Didn’t Haary REiD call Bus a liar?
I am tired of the other side creating false perceptions and framing just about every issue on the face of the earth ..... somebody needs to take these liars out to the proverbial woodshed a few times. The public needs to be shown and thus see the proof via the media that these people are nothing more than an amorphic tribe of hypocrites
Conservatives are constantly having to be on the defense and very rarely on the offense....... so why can't that change? We don't always have to meekly turn the other cheek ...... sometimes we just might need to stand up and fight ...... especially when the nations survival is at stake!
It's time to grow some brass ones folks. There's only a few months before we go to the poles.
I can remember Pelosi calling certain Republicans members of the Taliban Wing of the Republican Party.......
Hows that for a kneeslapper?
Conservatives are so vile and awful, that NO amount of vitriol or hate rhetoric is ever “extreme”! There are those (especially Judeo-Christian conservatives and libertarians) who are so vile and abhorrent they are just NOT worthy of “free” speech or tolerance! Such is the slammed shut and locked leftist mind. Exhibit A being Debbie “blabbermouth”-Shultz, most of the legacy media and all of MSNBC.
wow.
You lie.
