They EAT their own, Democrats that is!

Democratic Congressman Brian Baird, Slashed and Trashed

 Democratic Congressman Brian Baird, an ardent opponent of the Iraq war, who recently traveled to Iraq and, surprisingly, came back saying that the "surge" is improving things there. This man has angered the Moveon crowd, as they have now taken out attack ads aiming at getting him out of office for the crime of thinking for himself! MoveOn doesn't aim to engage in debate, but to punish and silence Democrats who dare think for themselves. This has become typical of the farleft loons TO EAT THEIR OWN PEOPLE that do not follow lockstep the mantra, Bush bad, Iraq failure. Any Democrat that dares to think for themselves will be harassed and defamed by the Moveon people, these folk have no morals, no scruples and no ethics, their only desire in life is to turn America into some kind of European Model of Secular progressive Blather {GAG} Religion Bad! I do notice they believe in spreading the wealth of the nation helping those that cannot help themselves, as long as it's not their money!

The funding behind MoveOn comes from radical left-wing billionaires George Soros and Peter Lewis, from the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund which has assets of nearly $400 million, and from the ultra-liberal "Tides Foundation." MoveOn members also donate. In other words they have deep pockets and do not mind spending millions on the destruction of any member of the democratic party they see as betraying the CAUSE!

There is nothing on the right that compares with the tactics used by MoveOn and the reach it has purchased. These people have co-opted fanatical left mainstream media people at the New York Times and NBC News, among others, and can get their propaganda spread quickly. The far-right has little, if any, access to the mainstream media.

When good men like Senator Lieberman and Congressman Baird become targets of hate and defamation—and their own party doesn't stick up for them—you know something is very wrong. We all saw how quickly the left turned on Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut Primaries, the smear job done on him, the racist and bigoted anti-Semitic remarks spread by the moveon crowd trying to defeat Senator Lieberman and defeat him they did, in the primaries.. but in the general election Joe turned the tables on the moveon crowd and had a sweeping victory despite the millions of dollars poured into defeating him.

Ruh roh. Someone lost their kvetching license for a couple days! (!)

Seriously...nice article, and congrats on the feature.

An interesting contrast...while Ron Paul is NOT the GOP favorite, he has not been targetted by the GOP faithful for his opposition to the party line. Quite the contrary. While they disagree, they haven't made it as huge an issue.

While I am waiting for the Republicans to start playing 'dirty' I do not think they will stoop to the level of eating their own like the Democrats have done and will continue to do.

Just because the Republican candidates push the Bush plate away, doesn't mean that they will not go off the diet by January when their appetites to win will tear large chunks of the president's hide.

It is a misnomer to even call Lieberman an independent inasmuch as the Connecticut hard hat unions and Republicans voted for him. By the way, the "surge" is bogus. As if 21,000 troops made all the difference while the remaining 160,000 sat on their asses and weren't doing exactly the same thing all along:kissing the asses of one sect while supporting it to damage to the other. This cat and mouse game has been going on since late '03.

It's ironic, a democrat in office can get caught with bribe money, sleep with underage interns, refuse to return illegal campaign contributions, deny over 1,000 unlawfully cast ballots exist even with hard evidence, openly snub all military members on the White House staff... all these are defendable... but let a democrat think for themsevles while in office, that is just asking too much!

Telling, isn't it.

I think so too and stated it.\

What was Joe supposed to call himself? The democrats kicked him to the curb because he dared to think for himself.

The surge is working and it just must be tearing at your guts that America might walk away from this one a winner.

Telling but in today's Democratic party not surprising, not surprising at all.

Say you have a platooon. 14 men to make it nice.  You are guarding a fule depot.  It takes 10 to guard it.  So you send the other 4 home.  Some nasties attack the fuel depot.  You defend it, and drive them off, but cannot pursue because your primary purpose is to guard the fuel.  What do you do?

Bring the other 4 back ,and then have them pursue the attackers the next time it happens!  That is what the surge is doing. The 160k guarded and did their job.  Now they have 2 divisions to pursue and take out the clowns.

As for the democrats, this is not a new things.  Remember Casey?  That was when the only thing that separated the elite from the chaff in the DNC was Abortion.

In Order to be part of Today's Democratic party, you MUST CHECK YOUR BRAINS AT THE DOOR, check your balls if you are a male at the Ballroom, if female check what common sense you had at the ballroom too. Then you learn to spit while talking, never use facts because they can be refuted. use opinions disguised as facts. What ever is Good for the country you vote against, what the U.N. wants you vote for. The opinion of Botswana is more important to you than the opinion of American citizens, The opinion of Illegal Aliens carries more weight with you than American citizens opinions, The only time you pay any attention to American citizens is when you are up for election, then you lie your sorry ass off to get re-elected.

If you break any of the above standards the liberal loons with spend millions in attack ads demeaning you, your wife, your kids, your great grand parents, your dog, anything that will cause you pain and hopefully cause you to lose your election so they can install another robot in your old job.

I hate to tell you this but both parties play this game.  The Republican's are not above this kind of treatment at all.  Wasn't it Republicans who called voters to tell them that McCain had a "black" daughter during the primaries against GWB?  Yep, sir.  And Mitch McConnel certainly wasn't standing by Senator Craig.

No arguement there Amy.

I never heard of this, ever. I wonder if anyone else has?

And Mitch McConnel certainly wasn't standing by Senator Craig.

Again no arguement from me Amy.

McCain has an adopted daughter from Bangladesh.  I saw it in an interview with McCain's wife.  I will look it up.  Of course, as with most smear/whisper campaigns there was no official endorsement from an established Republican entity.  But this was part of the reason for McCain's defeat in S. carolina.  They said that his adopted daughter was really his black love child.

It's from "O Brother Where Art Thou?" when the opponent of the incumbent governor tries to get political headway by declaring that the Soggy Bottom Boys (who have won popular crowd approval, and, eventually, the governor's approval and pardon) are miscegenated. It's an obviously misfired attempt to make light of the whole ridiculous notion of using scandal for political advantage.

(sigh) when you have to explain it it loses its punch.

Nope, just the Republicans who voted in the primary.  Mabye they're not racist, maybe they just think it's morally wrong to have a "love child".  Not that either scenario was correct   Know one knows who "they" are.  "They" won't take responsbility.  It's called a whisper campaign for a reason.

Here is one article about the McCain South Carolina primary.


this 'ARTICLE' ha! is an opinion editorial better known as an op-ed piece, no where did he back up a single allegation with a fact, no where did he claim to even know someone that got one of these phone calls. In other words his article has LESS VERACITY THAN MY simple article has where at least I have real facts to back my premise up.

Like I said no one stands up and takes credit for a whisper campaign.  No one holds a press conference or puts out a press release.  It still happened.  Whispers of Karl Rove being responsible.

Pretty much defines how democrats operate.  It is not the evidence that matters (or lack thereof), but the seriousness of the charges.  Loca, you just did what you accuse republicans of doing.  No names, and a slur with no basis in fact.

maybe I will write an OP Ed piece detailing my intimate knowledge of how Hillary's campaign told the democrats of Obama's cross dressing antics.  Of course I cant mention any names or sources since it was told to me on the condition of anonymity.  But I am sure you have heard of it, right?  Everyone has.
