NEW! Deconstructing Zell Miller: why john kerry is dangerous for America

MiaT, please accept my public apology for jumping to an erroneous conclusion!

Now you and IronClad are paying attention! (grin)

Now you and IronClad are paying attention! (grin)

That salt in the wound stings a little...
Deserve it! Sorry for the disruption in the work at hand! We must not allow Kerry and Company to steal this election. Our very freedom is at stake!

Now that you three have become buddies can we please get back to the
business of reelecting our President GEORGE W. BUSH!

...and if I may add, it was admirable, Knute & Ironclad, how you two seen your
error here, (an error anyone could've easily made) and made it right with Mia.
And kudos to you, T, for being the young lady you always are.

David Gergen has been staying busy trying to get Kerry elected.

If I may take this opportunity to make a reading recommendation-

This morning I picked up a copy of Hugh Hewitt's new book- "If It's Not Close They Can't Cheat" Between forays on the keyboard, I have made it to Page 100 already. Hewitt makes some very valid points- Among them- "Huge numbers of people who simply cannot read a sentence vote in elections". We need to engage our neighbors and coworkers on a daily basis about the issues of this campaign. I'm energized- I saw "W" in person in Milwaukee yesterday and have cleared my schedule of all frivolous events. We have two months to get the message to ALL the people. Glad to have y'all as partners!

We need to engage our neighbors and coworkers on a daily basis about the issues of this campaign.

Excellent point, Knute! I talk up Dubya to every man & woman I meet.

"The first thing that caught my eye was a comparison of Zell Miller to Lester Maddox. If I'm misinterpreting something, I stand corrected..."

Yes, well, It might have caught some of us off guard. - Mia was spoofing the Democrats' reaction to Zell Mille and their talking points.

uh.. Miller

Mia...It wasn't just a speech Senator Miller gave at the G.O.P. Convention...it was a definite clarion call.

bump to read later. Looks very interesting! and Zell hit this one out of the ballpark!

Zell's speech was courageous and historic.

I believe it is one of the best political speeches EVER. That goes for its content, its style, its delivery, its importance and its power.

no problem. :)

Help me; re: around posts 9-12 references to Knute's post and
and tang-soo posts to tang-soo and I can't find the original tang-soo post much less Knute's post: is there a parallel universe I'm missing? Remember, I'm from a red (wink wink nod nod) state.

Yes, you're right! On HARDBALL, after Gergen mentioned the Lester Maddox connection, he denied to Laura Ingraham that he was calling Zell Miller a racist. "then why did you say it, why did you say it?", Laura asked. She nailed him.

Susan Estrich and David Gergen must be on the same talking points email list. Or what do I know? Maybe they created this talking point.

It was an obvious down and dirty, mean, nasty attack, I have to think it will offend the intelligence of all but the most demented voter.

Gergen's discordant politics is captured perfectly by his incongruous and constant look of pained smugness. It's unclear which came first.

Zell Miller hit it right on the money. You know the speech was very effective by seeing the hysteric reactions from the media. He gave a powerful, in-your-face speech that drove liberals mad from coast to coast. He only said what many non-liberal Democrats have been feeling for years about the disturbing leftist tilt of that party, and the media knows it.

Now, while young Americans are dying in the sands of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan, our nation is being torn apart and made weaker because of the Democrat's manic obsession to bring down our Commander in Chief.
the left's jihad against America is killing our troops,
aiding + abetting the terrorists + imperiling all Americans

(viewing movie requires Flash Player 7, available HERE)

What has happened to the party I've spent my life working in?
I can remember when Democrats believed that it was the duty of America to fight for freedom over tyranny....
Time after time in our history, in the face of great danger, Democrats and Republicans worked together to ensure that freedom would not falter. But not today.
Motivated more by partisan politics than by national security, today's Democratic leaders see America as an occupier, not a liberator....
No one should dare to even think about being the Commander in Chief of this country if he doesn't believe with all his heart that our soldiers are liberators abroad and defenders of freedom at home.
But don't waste your breath telling that to the leaders of my party today. In their warped way of thinking America is the problem, not the solution.

They don't believe there is any real danger in the world except that which America brings upon itself through our clumsy and misguided foreign policy.

It is not their patriotism - it is their judgment that has been so sorely lacking.

They claimed Carter's pacifism would lead to peace.
They were wrong.
They claimed Reagan's defense buildup would lead to war.
They were wrong.
And, no pair has been more wrong, more loudly, more often than the two Senators from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.

Zell Miller
Keynote Address, 2004 Republican National Convention
September 1, 2004

"Zell Miller's speech was a speech of hate, it was a speech of venom. This is a man who started his political career with Lester Maddox and last night he imitated Lester Maddox. Lester Maddox, as we all know, was a segregationist but he was a man of hate. Zell Miller is not a segregationist, not that at all....
There are lines in politics and that speech went over the line. It's one thing as Dick Cheney did, I thought, well within the bounds of political discourse to go after John Kerry on his Senate record. It is quite another thing, in my judgment, to in effect come, he came very close to saying the Democrats were a treasonous party..."
David Gergen
Hardball with Chris Matthews
September 2, 2004

here is a difference between hate speech and the awful truth, between irrational anger and righteous indignation, between a Ted Kennedy or a Howard Dean or an Al Gore or a Nancy Pelosi or a John Kerry or a clinton (either, one for the price of two, I say)... and a Zell Miller. But listening to the Kerry-DNC talking points today, one would never know it.

In his keynote address to the Republican National Convention last night, a righteously indignant Zell Miller told the awful truth.

He told the awful truth about his party, the Democratic Party.

He told the awful truth about his party's presidential candidate, John Kerry.

He told the awful truth that goes to the core of John Kerry's and the Democratic Party's utter unfitness to lead America, especially now, in these perilous and determinative times.

And he backed up the awful truth with reams of facts and rational argument.

ZELL'S ZUGZWANG

John Kerry and the Left responded not with facts and rational argument, but with the only move they know, the only move left to them. Character assassination. They had to discredit Zell Miller... and fast.

Media lackeys from Pinch to Chris big-mouthed the following Kerry-DNC talking points before the Kerry corpse was even coifed. (Strike that metaphor. The problem, as we now, (post-Cristophe, post-botox, post-eyework) see, was never "haggard." "Haggard" is electable. (See LBJ.) "Cadaveric" is not, at least not outside of Hawaii. And Kerry's dissonant new "do," like the mortician's careful coif, only enhanced the funereal gloom. One has to wonder if Shrum was brought in (dispatched?) to praise Kerry... or to bury him....)

Anyway, back to the matter at hand, the Kerry-DNC talking points. They are listed below in ascending order of rectitude of intention. (Et tu, Brute?)

Zell Miller is a racist by association.

Lester Maddox mentored Zell Miller
Lester Maddox was a segregationist
Therefore, Zell Miller is a segregationist.

NOTE TO THE LEFT: Try replaying the syllogism, substituting Lester Maddox with, say, William Fulbright or Al Gore, senior, and substituting Zell Miller with bill clinton or algore, respectively.
Zell Miller is a racist by virtue of his stem-winder Southern oratory style.

NOTE TO THE LEFT: If Southern cadence a racist makes, I guess that's it for Byrd. Southern cadence will accomplish what KKK Kleaglery never managed to pull off.

Zell Miller is accusing the Left of treason.

NOTE TO THE LEFT: Zell Miller explicitly stated that he was questioning your judgment and ability to protect America against the post-9/11 realities, not your patriotism. But it's undestandable that you would prefer to demagogue phantom charges of sedition rather than defend real charges of cluelessness.

NOTE TO EVERYONE ELSE:

By conflating the two charges--judgment and patriotism-- John Kerry and the Left expose their guilty knowledge of same. And it doesn't matter whether it was done with Machiavellian calculation or out of simple naiveté.

Seditious rhetoric and expressions of legitimate differences of opinion are not mutually exclusive constructs, David Gergen notwithstanding. But because the Left's wartime rhetoric about Bush is abusive, undermining, irrational, and ultimately empty, it can only be sedition.
