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.
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.

Keynote Address, 2004 Republican National Convention

"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..."

KERRY-DNC TALKING POINTS
(served with a dollop of plausible deniability/faux objectivity)
Hardball with Chris Matthews

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?)
- (1) Zell Miller is a racist by association.
- The Kerry-DNC talking-points argument:
- Lester Maddox mentored Zell Miller
Lester Maddox was a segregationist
Therefore, Zell Miller is a segregationist.
- NOTE TO THE LEFT: Try replaying your little syllogism (silly-gism!), substituting Lester Maddox with, say, William Fulbright or Al Gore, senior, and substituting Zell Miller with bill clinton or algore, respectively.
-
- (2) 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.
-
- (3) 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.
