Fury in Dem-Land: Bloggers Want Kerry to Hit Back By Susan Jones CNSNews.com Morning Editor September 02, 2004
(CNSNews.com) - Democrats on Thursday described Republicans as the "angry party," but rank-and-file Democrats were the ones venting their fury on Republicans -- via a Democrat-sponsored blog, calling "Kicking A**."
Many of the people posting comments on the "daily dispatches" website said it's time for Kerry to fight back. What's he waiting for, they asked.
"Last night, the Republican Party proved once and for all that it has nothing to offer the American people," says the Democratic National Committee's Kicking A** website.
"The vice president couldn't articulate his president's vision for the future -- because there isn't one. A Republican Senator who perversely likes to call himself a Democrat lied over and over and over again to the American people while revealing the inexplicable rage that motivates him.
"On a night where the theme was 'Land of Opportunity,' we learned that Republicans aren't the least bit interested in making America a better place. All they have to offer are anger, fear, and despair..."
Responding to the posting, one presumed Democrat wrote, "We are losing folks."
\ldblquote We need an ad campaign on TV comprised of close-ups of the bitter divisive anger of Schwarzeneggar, Miller, Delay, Bush, Buchanan, Hannity, North, Rumsfeld, and more, along with the voiceover of their rage," said another reader.
"Take off the kid gloves, John Kerry! Let's get down in the dirt and bare-knuckle 'em," said someone else.
"Hey wake up DNC! We need Kerry to come up with a strong recognizable slogan that sums up the failures of the Bush administration," said yet another responder.
Here are some of the other comments from frustrated -- and angry -- Democrats:
"If we lose because we don't hit back harder than they do, we deserve what we get. I am tired of Kerry getting beat up and feeling like I'm taking the hits."
"WHAT THE HELL IS KERRY WAITING FOR???? WHAT THE HELL IS MARYBETH [Cahill] WAITING FOR? Now is NOT the time to be polite ... it's time to FIGHT!"
"Why can't we be angry too? I sure am. It's time to start hitting back hard. God knows they don't have any restraint. It would be sad to lose because we're too civilized."
'General election sprint' begins
The Kerry-Edwards campaign announced on Thursday that it was beginning the "general election sprint" with two new ads that will highlight the fundamental choice in this election.
According to the Kerry people, that choice boils down to "four more years of an administration that puts the interests of the few ahead of middle-class families, or the Kerry-Edwards plan that understands a stronger America begins at home with good paying jobs, affordable health care, energy independence and a stronger, safer country."
Wasting no time, Sens. Kerry, Edwards and their wives planned to hold a midnight rally in Springfield, Ohio, Thursday -- after President Bush addresses the Republican National Convention -- then split up for four separate tours of battleground states.
Also on Thursday, Kerry supporters were holding a conference call to "preview" President Bush's Thursday-night speech to the Republican National Convention.
"Regardless of which issues Bush discusses -- Social Security reform, Health Savings Accounts, or tax reforms -- one thing that is constant: all of these are failed plans for middle class families that will move America in the wrong direction," the Kerry campaign said in a press release.
I think it is going to get worse. It probably will get very personal. Kerry will have to directly attack the character of the Bush team to stop their recent gains.
I had no idea the Party Of Love And Tolerance is spewing so much anger and screeching for the need to hit back hard. I guess liberals overcome understanding and pacificism when the enemy are Republicans. Its ironic to see Democrats growing a pair of balls when they have conservatives in their gunsights. Mind you, these are the same people who say we need to hold hands with the French and try hard to understand Osama Bin Laden.
Don't forget the famous midnight rally tonight in Springfield, Ohio. (laughing)
Actually, the correct response to this will be, "Well, there you go again." (check tagline)
LOL! Love the accent. Can you just picture "Mr. Trial Lawyer" in the vice presidential debate? That's going to be the best political theater of the season.
Well, if we're giving a complete persona it seems to me it would have to include foul-mouthed, because although it is true that you can judge the level of their agitation by the volume of the obscenities, they view their "right" to be foul in public as sacred as their "right" to kill unborn babies.
Ouch! It hurts just to look at that sorry mug. Flip, flop! Flip, flop! Flip, flop! Flip, flop! Flip, flop! Flip, flop! Flip, flop!
If they're throwing a tizzy over Zell Miller, what are they gonna do when Bush rakes 'em over tonight in his acceptance speech?!
But will the Kerry 4 way TOUR now take questions as per Kerrys now OUTTED Phoney Medals!
Yep, can't wait for the debates! I think GWB should bring a proper lasso and loop it over the podium just to give JFK something to think about.
But the Breck Girl's hair is so "shiny and manageable"--doesn't that count? LOLOLOL
Pray for W and The Truth
Probably so, but it will be will similar to shooting one's self in the foot with a machine gun.
With what? Spitballs??
Nope. With Teraaayza's purse (since his own is empty).
