It’s humorous that the Senator uses his own manufactured truths to insult a President that he assaults on a daily basis.

We are so wickedly partisan.

Kerry sounded like a broken record on Imus. Poor Imus was begging from start to finish for Kerry to can it. Just what is Kerry’s obsession with Bush?

Oh, by the way, Rush didn’t say anything insulting about Michael J. Fox… He repeated something that Fox, himself had admitted in the past. He goes off his meds when he’s going to do a speech on his disease…for effect. Rush said he wondered if it was acting, or if he was off his meds. And totally shocking..that he’d muse on whether Fox was acting, given he’s a…what’s the word again? Oh yeah, ACTOR.

How many Republicans have done anything remotely this stupid and are still serving?

Just off the top of my head: Ted Stevens’ spectacular display of ignorance regarding the internet (which he regulates), or his pork project “bridge to nowhere.”

I wondered if this was true so I consulted the relevant textbook GOP Campaign Tactics for Republicans and to my surprise there it was, right on page 161:

“If Democrats slur and defame the military you should try to turn it into an opportunity for political gain.”

If only you were as outraged when a Republican does something stupid.

It pleases me no end that Olby’s intelligent, incisive commentary upsets the right so much that they’d prefer to watch a guy who gets off by sexually harassing his employees being brown-nosed on his own program.

How many Republicans have done anything remotely this stupid and are still serving? As to Olby, I guess the intelligent, incisive commentary is why his rating are so high. The man could reach his listeners more effiecently with a few phone calls.

Not everyone who uses the term is raaaacist, but the term can be construed, and has been for quite some time, as racist.

Just giving you a tip, it’s not the best term to use unless you want to sound like a paleoprog (paleoprogressive).

But, we’re completely off topic here…
Tony Snow is the best stuffed suit rightwing nutjob mouthpiece we could have!
There.

The credibility of the neocon war hawks, virtually all of them Jews,

Read your own reference. Just because these people– whoever they are– engage in race-baiting, it doesn’t redefine the term nor mean that anybody who uses it is racist…. sorry: “raaaaaacist.” Check the Wikipedia definition.

Even by the neocon’s own standards — which essentially amount to whatever is good for Israel is good, whatever is bad for Israel is bad — the invasion and occupation of Iraq has not been an unqualified success. The Iraqi resistance continues as strong as ever. The credibility of the neocon war hawks, virtually all of them Jews, and their nonexistent WMD excuse for war, has plummeted to near zero among the educated and well-informed — though the yahoos still believe the lies in large numbers.

See, they’re your buddies. Just because you and the New York Times made up a definition of the term doesn’t mean the white supremacists and neonazis haven’t co-opted the same term to describe the new-conservatives’ friendliness towards Israel.

Be careful who you bed down with…

Oh, do please explain.

No explanation needed. Reading almost any of your posts reveals your lack of research and knowledge.

We need a better troll. Where’s honora?

Knock off the anti-semitism. It’s not well received here. Go hang out with your buddies at the National Alliance if you want to spew that crap.

neo = new (not “Jew”)
con = conservative
Have you not heard the term before? It refers to those who call themselves conservatives but betray most of what conservatism stands for.

It would be excellent if Constantine was intellectually honest, but I suppose that’s too much to hope for.

Oh, do please explain.

The latest to do so? Hillary, who called them “inappropriate” earlier this morning

…let’s hope that the junior Senator from New York addresses the acts of the junior Senator from Massachusetts in more certain terms than she addressed the actions of her husband, upon whose coattails she’s achieved everything she now has.

…maybe if she married Kerry he’d amount to something….

It’s all about who gets the press. Rather disingenuous to claim pundits’ comments don’t matter as much (especially when the discussion is “political theater”) when so much page space is given to them here. You’re right, you can’t compare Rush’s comments to Kerry’s; Rush meant what he said, and it wasn’t an omission of a few words.

Respect is earned, Constantine, and from what I’ve seen from you, you do not deserve respect. That’s my problem with the bulk of the democratic party, actually. Intellectual dishonesty seems to be the very core value of most democrats.

//callin’ ‘em like I see ‘em

Now for some great political theater what we need is another big fat gaffe from the neocon side.

Knock off the anti-semitism. It’s not well received here. Go hang out with your buddies at the National Alliance if you want to spew that crap.

I loved Tony Snow’s question to the reporter (sloppy paraphrasing)
Reporter: Why don’t you understand Kerry’s joke?
TS: The real question is why are you trying to explain it for him? I don’t need to explain it for him. He can explain it himself.

Tony Snow nailed the whole thing right there. The press reaction to circle the wagons around Kerry just illuminates their bias. Why aren’t they calling for his resignation?
The thing about taking the moral high-ground as Republicans is that we don’t really need to do much these days when there is apparently no morality among the elected Democrats.

Sincerely, I’m beginning to think and worry about how a loss (or better – not a gain) of both branches would affect the Left and what reaction they might have. BDS has run its course. What would be next?

The expulsion of the far left ‘leadership’ that has repeatedly proved themselves feckless, impotent, and ineffective (not to mention openly traitorous).

The Democrats, (the sane ones get proper respect), have an excellent opportunity to take back their party which has been steadily spiraling toward a socialist/communist mindset.

C’mon Sane Democrats, do the patriotic thing and think about what’s best for your Country and kick the losers in your party out.

And we on the GOP side of things will do likewise. Believe me; we want some changes in our party as well. For the good of the country.

Constantine is still pouting because Rush did not defer to Michael J. Fox’s infallibility–and had the audacity to criticize him against liberals’ wishes. Yes, Constantine, Rush meant what he said: Fox is not above criticism and is wrong on the issues. And Kerry meant exactly what he said about his believing troops are uneducated and stupid. What is your point, exactly?
