DNC Dispatch:The Angry Party
Sep 2, 2004 ::
The angry party

http://www.democrats.org/blog/display/00010945.html

Last night, the Republican Party proved once and for all that it has nothing to offer the American people. The vice president couldn't articulate his president's vision for the future — because there isn't one. A Republican Senator who perversely likes to call himself a Democrat lied over and over and over again to the American people while revealing the inexplicable rage that motivates him.

On a night where the theme was "Land of Opportunity," we learned that Republicans aren't the least bit interested in making America a better place. All they have to offer are anger, fear, and despair. But don't take my word for it. Look at the headlines this morning from around the Web:

Cheney, Miller hammer Kerry — CNN
Cheney and G.O.P. Mount Vigorous Assault on Kerry — New York Times
Cheney Calls Kerry Unfit; Democrat Joins Barrage — Washington Post
GOP Fires Rhetorical Barrage at Kerry — LA Times
Cheney blasts Kerry on national security — MSNBC
GOP Puts Kerry On The Spit — CBS News
'America Sees Two John Kerrys' — Fox News
Cheney hits Kerry on national security — Washington Times
Every single one — including the conservative Fox News and Washington Times — includes "Kerry."

Everyone knows what last night was about. It wasn't about optimism. It wasn't about vision. It wasn't about the future. It was about tearing down John Kerry, because that is the only hope Republicans have to win this election.

After the jump: the face of the Republican Party:

1. I like this one:
"A Republican Senator who perversely likes to call himself a Democrat lied over and over and over again to the American people while revealing the inexplicable rage that motivates him."

5. "This isn't gong to be a Bush-bashing, is it?"
Edited on Thu Sep-02-04 11:44 AM by Flubadubya
That question rings in my ears as the all the media strumpets trumpeted it over, and over, and over again before and during the Democratic National Convention. They were acting as unofficial "speech police", and when one renegade here or there (e.g. Sharpton, Dean) strayed from "the message", they nearly busted a gasket accusing the DNC organizers of misrepresenting the convention and wrongfully slandering their darling Shrub!

Oh these GD Hypocrites! Not a single word about "Kerry-bashing" came from a single "journalist's" mouth nor pen. It's OK for them to bash Kerry to a bloody pulp, but let one disaparaging word be said about Smirk or his nasty Snarler, and the media creeps' heads explode.

Could we have a double standard here folks? :puke:
