Transcript of Sept. 3 show is not yet available, but reporter Larry O'Donnell kept calling Zell Miller a 'psychopath' because of his remarks at the Republican Convention.
Does anyone see the irony here? They level personal attacks with hateful speech against anyone who doesn't agree with their views.
In my book, Zell Miller is an old-fashioned patriot and a Marine who called John "Waffle" Kerry out and tells it like it is.
They can't stand the heat Zell put under their butts and will try to counter it by slimy personal attacks.
Why do the Dems wonder why they have lost the South?
The regional predjudice is astonishing.
.....prejudice
If you haven't already read it, read:
Speeches such as Miller's don't play well in certain sophisticated circles. He's got that funny accent, after all. And, in the vernacular of his native South, t'weren't nothin' nuanced about Miller's speech. However, there's nothing nuanced about terrorists who hijack airplanes and plow them into buildings; who blow up buses filled with children; who sever the heads of kidnap victims for prime-time recruiting films.
What such times call for are the qualities and strategies Miller colorfully described: "No matter what spider hole they may hide in or what rock they crawl under, George Bush wants to grab terrorists by the throat and not let them go to get a better grip."

The guy is a sissy.
The double-standard is one of the modern Democratic Party's basic "rights".
I think the funniest contradiction is their mantra, on one hand, that Democrats are the party of inclusion and tolerance. On the other hand, they insist that there's no room in their party for Zell. "He should just become a Republican". No, he's more useful to us right where he is!
O'Donnell is about as much a reporter as Lanny Davis.
So Larrry thinks that patriotism = hate.
Says more about this Larry fellow than anything else.
The mantra was sure different when Jim Jeffords left the republican party and became an independent, He was called intellectual, visionary, free thinking, and blah blah blah.
But Zell is a "nut".
***It's only because Zell has a Southern accent that they call it hate ***
they sure didn't mind Zell's Southern accent in '92 (or Slick's for that matter) when he lambasted 41.
Haw, haw, haw!!!
Isn't it interesting that the democrats had a psychopath, bigot, segragationist, lying, dementia ridden, anti-democrat, homophobe give the stump speech for Clinton?
All I can say is, reporters should beware of "psychopaths" carrying concealed copies of the congressional record.
I think Zell has alot to do with the "bounce". He is the stuff that our forfathers were made of! He stirred the soul of America. HE OVERSHADOWED POLITICS. He with Bush and the other speakers have reached people. Kerry is beginning to be pathatic. The MSM is wounded. Hate is all they have left!
Zell Miller gave perhaps the greatest speech thus far in this new century. It was truly amazing.
You know it was a good speech if the Democrats resort to name calling, because the simple truth of the matter is they can't dispute any of the facts contained in the speech.
That's where we have to get to in the next several weeks. The SwiftBoat Vets were great because they got the discourse going. But, it is a false path, all it does is focus the debate on how much of a hero Kerry was.
We must emphasize that Kerry, like Benedict Arnold, after heroism on behalf of the US, turned traitor and worked against the interests of our nation. "But, he is a Senator!" He is still a traitor!
Kerry is playing another clever word game. He holds up his Nam service and complains, "They are questioning my patriotism!" No, we are questioning your patriotism because of your treason and consorting with the enemy and 20 years of Senatorial efforts to try to weaken the US and put it's strength in the hands of those who have other objectives.
You are damn right I question Kerry's patriotism!! He is a traitor!! Let's get to that!!
BTW, Zell is on C-SPAN at 12:45 est.
Amen!
What's interesting, the word "psychopath" has pretty much been expunged from the lexicon, at least when applied towards personalities that truly merit the adjective. But notice that Sen. Miller has been identified as "hateful" for merely pointing out the obvious. In the old Soviet Union, he'd be a prime candidate for a public re-education, an examination of his opinions, which aren't in keeping with the group-think mentality. When the right people start whining, you can tell he must really be on to something.
Does anyone see the irony here?

Zell said the safety of his family, and the security of our country, is more important than loyalty to his party. Yeah, that sure is hateful.
Blankley sat there with a Blankley look on his face.
Buchanan didn't say much. By the way, he was on Tavis Whatisname on PBS show touting his book last night and really tore into Bush on Iraq. As Tavis said, he didn't have to do much criticizing of Bush since Buchanan was doing it. Buchanan said he still supported Bush for other reasons--but he was wrong on Iraq.
Clift was screaming as usual but about Zell.
McLaughlin has become a liberal Democrat. Wait until you seee the transcripts or look at some of his past ones.
I think Zell may have played as too hot and tempermental to baby boomers. I think the surprise will be that younger people will appreciate Zell's no bull**** attitude and authenticity.
the only way things are going to get better in the print media is if we have more than the wall street journal.
the washington times ought to go NATIONAL!
Lawrence O'Donnell is not a reporter. He's a dem consultant so is expected to hurl baseless insults when confronted with the truth.
Nonsense. His being from the south has nothing to do with it.
They are squealing like stuck hogs because one of their own has come out swinging against them and has the gall to endorse their enemy. They don't like turncoats. He'd get the same reaction if he were from Pennsylvania.
Laura Ingram had a call in poll as to the best line of the convention. Zell's line about spitballs was the overwhelming winner. Some liked Arnold's "economic girliemen" (that was my favorite) but most felt it was Miller time.
Correct. I also note that when the leftists in the media give Kerry and easy ride right up to the DNC, those same jerks become quite perturbed when Kerry's voting record, anti-Military pattern and leftist radicalism finally come under scrutiny. I am surprised that Zell did not also highlight Kerry was against the M-1 tank and the AH64.... I know, the list is too long and he didn't have enough time... (which is actually true). Imagine being in the armored cav and you only have a sheet metal pickup truck as "armor" or worse yet, a camel?

From 1993 through 1995, O’Donnell was the Democratic Chief of Staff of the United States Senate Committee on Finance. The Committee has jurisdiction over legislation involving taxation, international trade, health care, Social Security, welfare, and other income security programs. In 1992, he was Chief of Staff of the United States Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.
From 1989 until 1992, O’Donnell served as Senior Advisor to Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. He began his professional association with Senator Moynihan as Director of Communications in the Senator’s 1988 re-election campaign.

He escaped Abu Graib? (hehehe)
I have a better idea. Have all the Freepers start a major national "daily" and get the word out (minus any leftist/liberal editing). Despite our scrapes, occasional ad hominem attacks and "sibling rivalries", I think that this is possible. There is a pretty broad spectrum of similar-minded individuals on here, yet with different ideas and approaches about the same problems. I bet we could give the liberal press hell, and backup the other patriotic Americans trying to take a stand... I can see it now on every street corner "The Freerepublic" ... (under careful guard from leftist vandalism of course)
Its really pathetic that the media "journalists" won't delve into Kerry's voting record with the same unbrideled enthusiasm they have when dig into Bush's past. The hypocracy is amazing, but at least there's now widespread skepticism in the general public about the media's credibility.
O'Donnell is an agent for the far left Liberals. The only shows that will have him on is Hardball and Scarborough, and both of them are at the bottom of the charts for listeners. He's a bigger idiot than Chris Matthews. And what is going on with Scarborough? He used to be a Republican and now he is in love with Ron Reagan the pansy.
Being an avid fan of self-expression, I'd love to run into this guy, so I could 'pop him.'
Bump for later.
By stating his OPINION, he ceases to be a "reporter," and becomes an editorialist.
Of course, that fact will appear nowhere in print.
FoxNews' total domination of the ratings marks the beginning of the end of this style of journalism.
He sure is....wish he'd stay in the senate through the Bush Presidency....since we all now know Bush will win bigtime in November.
You weren't listening. Miller did highlight the Apache.
BTTT
I was flipping thru the channels last night and on PBS I caught Bill Moyers calling Zell a "demagogue." Interesting comment considering the source.
The truth is irrelevant to bowel movements like O'Donnell and Clift. John McLaughlin should be ashamed of himself for letting the crap that those two lying hacks spew to continue.
One of Pope John Paul IIs best decisions was forcing McLaughlin to choose between the Priesthood and politics.
I bet you are 100% right. I had to zip into the bathroom a few times, and the kitch. (came back as quickly as possible) I bet I missed that part (probably while I had to briefly relieve myself, I still tried to listen, even had 2 TVs on so I wouldn't miss much from room to room). I will examine the full text of his speech. It is significant, as it is rare for a Democrat to admit that his Party is wrong. Thanks for the correction. Glad to hear he mentioned the AH64. This is one of the assets he voted against that directly impact our guys at the individual level.
