"BAGHDAD JIM" MCDERMOTT SPONSORS RESOLUTION TO RESCIND AUTHORIZATION FOR WAR

Our very own Congressman, "Baghdad Jim" McDermott had a rough evening. A substantial group of Patriotic Americans (Spurred on by KVI's John Carlson) crashed his scheduled appearance outside the Federal Building in Downtown Seattle last night. A surprisingly small crowd of about 250 Anti-America demonstrators were suddenly inundated by about 150 Pro-America demonstrators just minutes before McDermott took the podium.

McDermott seemed to be taken aback by the boisterous crowd holding We Support Our Troops signs and chanting USA!...USA! McDermott stated that the Anti-America movement was actually pro-troops because they don't want our soldiers to get hurt, while the insensitive pro-America crowd callously advocates sending our troops into harm's way. Using that logic, perhaps we should keep our police officers at the police station, after all one could get hurt stopping a robbery. Responding to the boos and taunts of the crowd, McDermott finally blurted out "If you hypocrites really support this war you should go straight down to the recruiting office and sign up for duty!"

So we have a congressman who believes that only those in the military have the right to advocate on foreign policy matters, if only it were so. Nonetheless, Mcdermott's insinuation that only those who serve in the military have the right to comment on matters of war effectively disenfranchises the other 99% of us who are not in the armed services.

As a stunned McDermott left the rally, one of his constituents greeted him "Thanks for coming, Traitor!" What a great moment in American History.

Last week McDermott again brought honor to our state by voting no on a congressional resolution supporting our troops, the resolution passed by an overwhelming 392-11. McDermott is at it again today, co-authoring a resolution to rescind authorization for the war in which we are currently engaged. Shouldn't McDermott's photo be placed in the dictionary right next to the word despicable?

whatever happened to executing traitors?

"since his district voted like 75% for Gore, but aren't there any non-traitorous Democrats who could run against him in the primary?"

A: No. In the center of his district, Pro-Iraq bumper stickers are common. A pro-American Democrat would be defeated in Seattle. Recall that McDermott achieved 74% of the vote AFTER visiting Baghdad.

What ever happened to electing responsible politicians whith character and backbone?

[CyberAnt]

Like Rush said, the DNC will use these people to spawn their idiot stuff - beecause of 2 reasons - first, the guy's seat is safe from the 2004 election (I'm presuming that's true of this guy), and second - it allows Hitlery and her goons to remain above it all - moderate doncha know!!

Howdy

I am heartily pleased that a diehard saddamocrat, arch hater of America, and determined leftist hostile to the foundations of western society, endorses the legitimacy of our effort to free innocent Americans from the tender mercies of the butcher of Baghdad.

By advancing an effort to remove the President's legal authority to conclude this twelve year struggle against a virulent and growing evil, Baghdad Jim McDermott tacitly acknowledges that the communist rent-a-mob saddamites in our streets are protesting against a legally sanctioned, legitimate exercise in the self defense of American sons and daughters, in short, they are full of it, a truth enshrined for posterity in the actions of none other than Baghdad Jim himself.

Thank you for further delegitimizing the demonstrations, and also, Jimbo, thank you for demonstrating that you are a blithering idiot, destructive even to the diseased hate America agenda which owns your allegiance.

Remember Hillarys health care package? Democrats LIKE dictatorships!

[zerosix]

One can only hope that the constituents of McDermott as well as the other anti-American, Jim Moron, "show them the door 2004."

[breakem]

He's a character alright, he just doesn't have the backbone. LOL!

[droberts]

Now I'm confused, I thought people were against the war precisely because American servicemen would get hurt.

[breakem]

sadly true

What makes this even more disgraceful, disgusting and despicable is that one of his House colleagues has just been activated and deployed to the war.

[PetroniDE]

How about we pass a resolution that RESCINDS McDermott's election to the Senate ?

[ohioman]

Well, if Americans had thought that way in the past, we would be speaking German now. Cowards and America haters are against this war.

[droberts]

Hang on a minute, I think it's pretty unlikely that Iraq was going to invade the U.S. (more likely North Korea will invade with nukes I would have thought).
