Hatch accuses Kerry of undermining U.S. troops

[Rose Siding]

snip>
Hatch, speaking during an interview on the Fox News Channel, said terrorists could be expected to do all they can in the coming months to topple Bush and get Kerry elected.
“We just have to hold firm, stand strong and quit bad-mouthing what's going on over there so that our young men and women who are serving don't lose their faith and heart,” Hatch said.
When asked if he believes that Kerry's challenge of the Bush administration's policy in Iraq amounted to not supporting soldiers, Hatch responded: “That's exactly what's happening here.
“If you look at what they're saying on the other side of this equation and this presidential race, they're consistently saying things that I think undermine our young men and women who are serving over there.”
The Democratic National Committee, in response, sent out a statement from Nita Martin, a Pennsylvania mother and registered Republican whose two sons have served in Iraq........MORE....

[drscm]

2. How dare that meanie Kerry contest the boy king's war conduct

during an election year. Traitorous Democrats! (/sarcam off)

[trogdor]

22. How dare the DNC even run a candidate against Bush?

I mean, he's the spiritual and intellectual equal of Jesus Christ himself, right? I mean really, fomenting mutiny amongst the 'murkan people while there's a war on - the NERVE! /sarcasm off

3. No one outside of Utah takes this flake seriously

[Media_Lies_Daily]

20. I doubt that too many people INSIDE Utah take him seriously either.

[jkshaw]

32. Agreed ...

34. Howdy Joan, and welcome home.

I went to school in Logan in the late 40's. Beautiful country!

35. Doesn't matter...

he will be in office till he quits or dies. If he dies they will reelect his corpse on the chance that God will correct the error and resurrect the bastard.

[trogdor]

41. So how does he manage to stay in the Senate?

Obviously there are a significant number of crazy fools who do take him seriously. I mean, in a rational world, people like that would never get the time of day, but we don't live in a rational world, so we have to endure people like Hatch, Tom DeLay, Bill Frist, George W. Bush, and so on and on and on...

[grytpype]

4. Yeah... the troops wouldn't know what a quagmire they are

in unless Kerry tells them. And it is a big secret, they might get discouraged if they found out the truth.

Kerry: The candidate of Al Qaeda.

5. Hatch also.....

said in 1999 that terrorism in the USA was a fony issue that Clinton is wasting his time with....fuck you Hatchman!

[Rose Siding]

8. That would make a great LTTE

Incorporating that Hatch quote, I mean.

6. How dare we plan a democratic election during wartime?

Hatch is an unAmerican radical extremist.

7. Orin Hatch is a Douche n/t

[yellowcanine]

9. Shut up Orrin. Go make another record with John Asshat or something.

And take that rod out of your ass while you are at it.

[Cocoa]

12. Hatch DID shut up

Nina Martin shut him up:

“Before one of my sons left, he went online to buy himself a helmet that would better protect him than the one which was issued to him by the U.S. military,” she said. “If anybody doesn't support the troops it's George W. Bush. He sent my sons to war with no plan. They were ill-prepared and the result is more and more casualties every day.”

Martin said one of her sons is a reservist who was in the first wave into Iraq. The other is a career Marine who was deployed more than a year after Bush spoke on the USS Lincoln in front of a banner that read “Mission Accomplished.”

Hatch's spokesman declined to respond to Martin's criticism.

10. Wasn't it Orrin?

Wasn't it Orrin who couldn't get in front of a camera fast enough to let everyone know what an insider he is just after the September 11 attacks? He shot his fool mouth off about how the U.S. knew the culprit was Al Qaeda, because as a member of the Intelligence Committee, he was privy to the information that the U.S. was monitoring Al Qaeda's cell phone conversations. Right after that, Al Qaeda quit using cell phones.

Thanks, Orrin. You're a charter member of Douchebags for Liberty.

[Supersedeas]

29. Orin believes in the future of Orin and the Republican Party

The rest, including civil debate and democracy, be damned.

[speedoo]

13. shut up Orrin, you fucking chickenhawk.

Unless you want to truthfully explain your criminal involvement with BCCI, that is.

14. U.S. Army soldiers take cover in a building after their Bradley

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=858219

Hatch is responsible for this and Kerry is trying to save our children's lives. That is what Kerry should directy say to Hatch.

[bluedeminredstate]

15. I think they got the headline wrong.

Instead of "Hatch accuses Kerry of undermining U.S. troops" it should read:

"Hatch undermines United States Constitution; calls for limiting free speech"

These republicans are getting bolder about stating that a vote for Kerry is a vote for Al Queda - I've heard it more and more the last week or so. It needs to be answered each and every time they say it, naming the anti-American asshole who said it, and questioning their commitment to their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. By publically saying such an outrageous thing they are trying to influence the election - the very thing they accuse OBL of doing and that point should be made clearly.

:grr:

[LSK]

16. what do you want Hatch, to cancel the election???????

[The Stranger]

17. Orrin Hatch is a danger to the U.S.

He needs to be removed from office.

[DinahMoeHum]

18. Bawk, bawk, bawwwwwk! I smell chickenhawk! Bawk bawk bawwwk!

:evilgrin:

[arwalden]

19. Such Tactics Are Non-Responsive...

when they cannot address the criticism, they declare that it's "demoralizing" or "sending mixed signals" or "unpatriotic" or "undermining the troops".

Bull Fucking Shit

[Career Prole]

21. Anybody have this squawking chickenhawks e-mail address handy?

The douchebag's got a flamin' coming. :grr:

[The Chronicler]

23. The Chronicler accuses Hatch of being a fruitcake (nm)

[Toby109]

24. I was wondering which Bush surrogate

was going to start with this. These kind of unAmerican accusations have been a staple of the Repubs for years and it has been escalating rapidly since 9/11.

Expect more of the same from DeLay, Santorum, et.al.

I'm reasonably sure that U.S. soldiers in Iraq realize the clusterfuck they find themselves in. They don't need to be told.

[goodboy]

25. fear mongering...nothing new...eom

26. When are the gay Republicans getting OUTED. I'm TIRED of waiting.

27. Hatch guilty in the deaths of more than 80 Americans

Senator, His Son Get Boosts From Makers of Ephedra
Orrin Hatch has kept regulators at bay and benefited via campaign
donations. Lobbyists linked to his son have received $2 million.

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-ephedra5mar05,1,3791109.story?coll=la%2Dhome%2Dheadlines

WASHINGTON -- For more than a decade, the dietary supplements industry
has counted on Sen. Orrin G. Hatch to fend off tighter regulation of
products such as ephedra, the controversial stimulant linked to more
than 80 deaths - most recently a young Baltimore Orioles baseball
player.

[Sequoia]

28. Tar and feather that traitor Hatch

He's the one who wants OUR CONSTITUTION changed so Ahnold can run for president. Why...because the Rupubs have nothing but old geezers no one would ever vote for. So they want to prop up a Nazi boy. NEVER. I don't want anyone running for president that wasn't born here.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

30. "HITLER HATCH"

He deserves this title if he thinks we should NOT have a Democratic Election.

[MallRat]

31. Senator Hatch, you are an anti-democratic, unamerican motherfucker.

And I mean that in the nicest way possible.

[0007]

33. Psssst Hatch, the world knows the difference between your boy junior

and the Honorable John Kerry. Whoever buys into to your lies eat shit and barks at the moon.

[dolstein]

36. I accuse Hatch of undermining America

NT

[truthisfreedom]

37. let the man speak. who cares what they say anymore. he's going backwards

to their old "wrap the rethugs in the flag" politics... nobody freaking cares.

[The_Casual_Observer]

38. Well then, we ought to cancel the whole election process too!

Seems like any sort of debate or discussion would be dangerous and counterproductive to our endless "war on Terror". That would suit hatch just fine I'm sure.

[Octafish]

39. Orrin Hatch Carried Terrorist's Water during BCCI

Hatch is a turd. The guy did all he could to defend the bigwig crooks and the bank they loved.

[goforit]

40. No ...Widdle Hatchet,..You n your repug brothers did it all by your selves

roflmao!!!!

They can't even see past their own smoke screen.
