Good grief. bookmarking

[Junior_G]

Very interesting observation.

[Vigilantcitizen]

I hope and pray that the guy who wrote up this ad "resists arrest."

Seconded.

[Poohbah]

Unrelated random thought: Does anyone think it's significant that the Republicans are holding their convention in the city that was most affected by the events of 9/11, while the Democrats are holding theirs in the city where the attacks originated from?

I'm sure it's just a Freudian slip on the Democrats' part.

[KellyAdmirer]

I think things started going off the tracks for the Democrats after the Kennedy assassination, like that sent them even harder left as if to prove that something like that couldn't stop their agenda. Johnson immediately started doing uncharacteristic (for him) Great Society things, and that worked for a while as the baby boomers pulled the whole country that way. The Democrats have stayed there even after that whole fad ended, though.

The wonder to me is how they stayed in power so long, probably because they were so effective at making Republicans seem "uncool" and it took a Reagan to turn that around.

I'm glad the paper published it. Now those who were unsure of what kind of loons are actulally in the Dem party are no longer wondering.

What has happened to our country?

[dirtboy]

I'm going to counsel caution about this teaser from Drudge. So far, we can't see the ad. We don't know what paper they're talking about. It's just a headline, with no supporting information.

Yep, it's always good to remember the Danny Williams fiasco.

[KOZ.]

ha, some day the guys advocating an 'armed struggle' and gun control, will realize that they will lose.

[Petronski]

I find this very hard to believe.

[Brytani]

I'm in S. Florida, if and when Drudge posts which paper this ad ran in I'll try to get ahold of it, scan and post on here.

Someone please ping me if this info comes available and I miss it. Having a hectic day in these parts.

[Poohbah]

The baptism scene in the original GodFather movie comes to mind...but we won't go there.

Put on "Nessum Dorma" from Puccini's Turandot.

(That was the song playing at the end of The Sum of All Fears, when the American and Russian Presidents are signing the treaties...and their security services are whacking the bad guys :o)

[RetiredArmy]

To you and me and most readers on FR this is an out rage. The rest of America will ignore it. They do not care.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Drudge is way into sensationalism, so I agree with you - but if this is what it appears to be (a big IF), I've got three words for the leftist freaks: BRING IT ON.

They will regret even THINKING of this.

[Savage Beast]

"Just when you think the Dim's couldn't slip lower....."

There is no depth to which contemporary Democrats will not sink.

My parents, grandparents, and great grandparents were all Democrats. If they were alive today, they would repudiate the Democrat Party in no uncertain terms and abandon it immediately! My children are all Republicans.

[Maceman]

Just when you think the Dim's couldn't slip lower.....

Personally, I learned a long time ago that there is no point so low that a Democrat can't find a way to get even lower. Their capacity for engaging in contemptuous behavior is truly bottomless.

[areafiftyone]

This is outragious. I have never seen such hatred. The democreeps are totally out of control.

[oh8eleven]

But something happened to the Dems around 1968...
It's usually called socialism, aka progressivism. In reality it's communism.
Semper Fi ...

CAMPAIGN RAGE: FLORIDA DEMOCRATS PLACE NEWSPAPER AD CALLING FOR RUMSFELD HIT; FUNDRAISING FOR KERRY

Campaign 2004 turns extreme in Florida with the placement of a newspaper ad calling for physical retribution against Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld!

"We should put this S.O.B. up against a wall and say 'This is one of our bad days,' and pull the trigger," the ad reads.

MORE

The call-to-arms fundraising ad, placed by the St. Petersburg Democratic Club in the current issue of the GABBER, a local St. Petersburg paper, asks readers to make an urgent donation to the John Kerry campaign.

Club Vice President Edna McCall told the DRUDGE REPORT Tuesday morning: "We want to get our country back. In Iraq, we're in deep trouble. If we don't try to get this situation cleared up, we are finished."

When asked if the ad was a challenge to inflict violence on Rumsfeld, McCall explained: "'Pull the trigger' means let Rumsfeld know where we stand, not to shoot him!"

"We are getting raped, and they are planning to steal the election again."

McCall said her club is in direct contact with John Kerry campaign.

"We're all working together."

The publisher of the GABBER says running the ad with the passage "pull the trigger" was a mistake that "slipped through" during the editing of this week's edition.

Developing...

~~What has happened to our country?~~

We have gotten soft and too far to the left. Newtons law: a body in motion will continue in motion (with same vector) until a force of equal and opposite direction acts upon it. Translated: An act that will make 9/11 look like look harmless in comparison. At that point the libs, ACLU, PETA, Ted Kennnedy's, and the like will all but fade from existance. IMO
