"Democrats routinely complain that President Bush and his political team call them unpatriotic for criticizing Bush on the war in Iraq," the Weekly Standard observes in an editorial by Fred Barnes.

However, a search of the records shows that nobody in the administration has ever even insinuated that Democratic congressional leaders or presidential candidates were unpatriotic, the magazine said.

"There is, however, one political figure who's been accused time and again of being unpatriotic: President Bush. The accusers? Democrats.

"[Florida Sen. Bob] Graham said Bush's Iraq policy is 'anti-patriotic at the core, because it's asking only one group of Americans, those soldiers in Iraq and their families, to pay the price of the occupation.'

"[Massachusetts Sen. John] Kerry was harsher. In a candidate debate last September, he said Bush 'lives out a creed of greed for he and his friends. I'm tired of seeing chief executives be permitted to take their millions or billions to Bermuda and leave the average American here at home stuck with the tax bill. You know what I call that? Unpatriotic.'

"Democratic presidential candidate Al Sharpton complained of Bush, 'Real patriots don't put troops in harm's way on a flawed policy.' And [Howard] Dean has questioned the patriotism of Bush's attorney general, John Ashcroft." WashTimes
