Nutroots blame Coulter for attempted SCOTUS poisoning

Aengus, this isn’t just my opinion.

It is the opinions of former democrats like Zell Miller and Bob Just. Miller referred to the actions of Rockefeller and Durbin in that leaked October 2003 memo that described how there were going to inject politics into the war to deliberately weaken the Bush Administration with calls for congretional investigations, as if not treason, the 1st cousin to it. Miller said:

What has happened to the Party I’ve spent my life working in?

I can remember when Democrats believed it was the duty of America to fight for freedom over tyranny.

It was Democratic President Harry Truman who pushed the Red Army out of Iran, who came to the aid of Greece when Communists threatened to overthrow it, who stared down the Soviet blockade of West Berlin by flying in supplies and saving the city.

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.

In his book A National Party No More: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat, Miller takes his party to task for the many of the same reasons that Bob Just does: the “gotcha’s” the leaks, the spin doctors and the extremist positions that are the hallmark of the modern Democratic Party, not the party of Truman and FDR.

Bob Just wrote an article back in 2000 titled Fascism, corruption and my ‘Democratic’ Party, where he describes how the party he grew up in became fixated on winning at ANY cost, to the detriment of patriotism and fair play.

For example, he describes a plot by two Democratic activists who hired a prostitute to claim that a Republican office holder raped her, in an attempt to knock him out of the race for all intents and purposes.

He describes how the New York State Democratic Party, in their 2000 state convention, spit on the flag and called the Albany police color guard “Nazis.”

He writes:

When I read about people spitting on the Honor Guard at the New York State Democratic Convention May 16, I started to understand what has happened to my party over the last few years. I still can’t get over the fact that Democrats attending a formal convention would so insult the American flag, but it happened. As an Honor Guard of Albany police officers entered the convention hall – with band playing and lights shining – they were spit on and called “Nazis” by a number of people on the delegate floor. On top of that, no Democrat nearby stopped the “spitters,” or even reported them. And the Democratic leadership expressed no public outrage.

I was so outraged at my party’s lack of outrage that I started a reward fund to find the “spitters.” But I soon realized that I needed to address the larger issue of what I had come to understand. I direct this commentary to the mainstream elected officials of my party – the “adults” as the media often calls them. Whether you are still in office or retired, you can have a profound effect in waking up the party and the public. I see clearly now that the path the party is taking will eventually lead to its destruction and to the destruction of liberty in America. It is practically mathematical. And it won’t take very long in years if nothing is done to stop it.

And he added:

…I am ashamed to be a Democrat. More than that, I have come to fear my own party. Hatred and corruption – the roots of fascism – are on the march in America as they have never been before, and leading this march is the Democratic Party.

What we are dealing with here has nothing to do with American politics. In fact, I worry that as the Democrats increasingly adopt fascist tactics they will cease being a genuine political party, focused on honest debate and decision by fair ballot. They could become one day something more related to the fascists of 1930s Germany. The SA “brown shirts” were not interested in debate and civil rule; they wanted power in order to force the democratic nation to accept their Nazi agenda. If I am right about the fanatical direction my party is taking, then America has never faced a danger like this, and real Democrats who stand by and watch will be as guilty before history as the actual leaders of this corruption movement….

…Carried to its extreme, this corruption movement will destroy us all. It is compulsive in its lust for power. It is an anti-establishment lobby that is vast and very powerful. Right now the specific labels don’t matter, and there are too many to name here, from corporate greed to union greed to organized crime to “special interest” causes. It is a long list. However, the core desire of this group, conscious or unconscious, is to tear down everything traditional and decent in this country. Full of personal anger and a desire for radical change at whatever cost, these people wish to “re-imagine” an America they have never understood.

The Party uber alles
Fueled by anger, the New Fascists have completely adopted the radical ’60s notion of the “honest con.” In other words, they think that because they are “correct in their beliefs” and because in their minds what they fight is so “evil,” just about any act can be committed for the sake of victory – and certainly, lying is no problem. Loyalty to “the cause” is at the heart of this mindset.

Subsiquent to this article being written, at the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles, on the Thursday that Gore was to make his acceptance speech, a group of Eagle Scouts were asked to participate in the color guard — and THEY WERE BOO-ED OFF THE STAGE by the delegates.

In the 2004 election, Michelle amply documents the VIOLENT behavior of Democratic activists in her book “Unhinged.”

It got so bad in 2004, that Democrat activists were firing guns into Republican offices, and were also staging take-over invasions by Union members, and breaking in and stealing the Republican desktop computers.

The SON of a DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN slashed the tires of a Republican party leased vehicle

Aengus, when they ACT LIKE BROWNSHIRT NAZIS, I am going to call them Brownshirt Nazis. It is NOT “demonization” when it is true!

We have just lived through an election where the party that won did so throught outright lies (both their own and those of their media allies) desigend to sabotage the war, and you think that calling them on their tactics and labeling them as what they are is unfair?

Their treatment of Lieberman, including photoshopping his picture into a charature of a man in “blackface”, their treatment of Michael Steele (also photoshopped) by calling him an OREO, and the words of their “leaders” (for example, Cindy Sheehan) blaming America’s participation in the war on terrorism as some kind of ZIONIST Jewish plot, was exactly the kind of tactics that the 1933 Brownshirts did to grab and maintain power.

So, the shoe fits. They are the “brownshirt party” not because of demonizaton, but because of their behavior.
