DNC = DOUBLE FLUSHER

Democrat party officials are struggling to contain the amount of anti-Bush and anti-war comments to be delivered this week during the convention in Boston, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
DNC chair Terry McAuliffe has expressed concern that nonstop Bush bashing from the podium could quickly spiral out of control and backfire.
DNC staffers have also been told to be on the lookout for "unreasonable" Bush bashing signs held by delegates on the convention floor which could be highlighted on television.
"We are not Michael Moore," McAuliffe has told his top staffers, according to a well-placed source. "Let's tell the voters what we stand for, not only what we stand against."
McAuliffe has reportedly given orders to senior staff that hard-core Bush bashing should be saved for other forums and surrogates.
"Of course there will be a fair amount of pointing out the president's record," a top party source explained from Boston.
Top Kerry strategist Bob Shrum is also warning not to turn the convention into a default Hate Bush rally.
But the temptation to rip Bush without mercy is proving to be too much for many of the speakers.
Kerry operatives are editing convention speeches, sources say, with only Al Gore and Ted Kennedy believed to be off-limits.
[The move is reminiscent of Nixon at the 1968 convention in Miami, when the campaign edited out anti-war liberal Republicans.]
Developing...
Those two nutcases are speaking Tuesday night, the only night that ABCCBSNBC aren't airing any coverage of the convention. Funny that.
Forget Dean, Gore is the one who will have a nuclear meltdown.
If something big happens in the news during the convention, they will show their true colors. They will blame whatever breaking news there is on President Bush. Let's hope something breaks soon. ;o)
It won't be too long before the 'rats just implode. I can hardly wait;)
I couldnt say why the dems do what they do.
Dumbass Franken just spilled his drink all over himself on live national tv. Perfect a**hole.
Here's my take.
They've built their whole campaign on ABB (anybody but Bush).
They've called him a liar, a thief, Hitler, a murderer, a criminal, etc.
The DNC (encouraged by McAuliffe) has allowed this, even praised the behavior.
And now they say they aren't going to Bush bashing this week.
Well, as a parent, if you allow your kid's bad behavior to become a habit, and then expect them to behave because Grandma's come to your house to visit for the week, it's not going to work.
They've created a monster...a hate monster...and it will consume them in the end.
I didnt realize who the groups were.
Thanks for the details
AHhhhh..
Even reading those brings back chills.....
I guess they were Michael Moore before they weren't???
The war protestors (peaceniks) are already fist fighting outside.
LOL~~~~~~~~~~~JERKS
Oh thats funny
How come those "protesters" arn't in that cage thing, oh they were Comrad Kerry supporters so they get to run free and beat people up.
Me thinks he doth protest too much. 
Frankly I hope they bash him day in and day out.
The dems should get a good dose of what their choices are this year.
Conversely, I'd like to see the Republicas act like it was something akin to getting their teeth pulled when they put his past peers on stage to explain their message, if they do.
The Bush team should methodically from point a to point z explain the war, conservative values (but don't label them), and what drives our side.
Here we see John Kerry packing a bowl.....
