Democrats Identify the Enemy
American Spectator ^ | October 3, 2006 | Jeffrey Lord

Thank you Paul Begala.

America is at war. Just in the last few months Islamic fascists tried to climb on American jetliners in London and blow them up over the Atlantic. They are killing Americans on the streets of Iraq and Afghanistan, killing Jews in Israel, bombing and murdering their way through swaths of countries separated by half the globe. They have struck New York (twice) Washington DC, Pennsylvania, Madrid, London, Bali, Tel Aviv, Riyadh, Amman, Nairobi and Beirut among other places.

And you, Mr. Begala, have now bluntly stated the core fear of the once proud Democratic Party: Fox News.

Never has a former political aide to a President of the United States so unintentionally illustrated what has gone wrong with his own political party. The New York Times quotes you directly as follows:

"I think you're seeing the beginning of an alternative Democratic approach," a desire to strike back hard, said Mr. Begala, a former Clinton adviser.

"Clinton tapped into something in the Democratic zeitgeist," Mr. Begala said. "We're really tired of being bullied by Fox."

Concluding snip:

So thanks Mr. Begala. You and your friends have managed to so discredit your party on national security issues in the last five decades that even when you win you lose. There is not a Democratic victory in sight that won't mean a push to cut and run somewhere, somehow. And as always, it will backfire with a certainty that even Wile E. Coyote would be able to understand.

Begala is such a feckless crapweasel. The enemy is Fox. Fox flew the planes into the World Trade Center. Fox detonated bombs in Madrid, London and Bali. Fox wanted to use liquid bombs to blow American airliners out of the sky. Begala is such a friggin idiot.

Even more encouraging is the fact that this crapweasel and Howard Dean are the best the Democrats have to offer. Oh, I forgot the handsome and charismatic James Carville.

"We're really tired of being bullied by Fox."

A network that didn't even exist 25 years ago is now in the position to "bully?"

Well, Mr. Begala, we are tired of being bullied by EVERY OTHER MSM NETWORK. One network isn't on the plantation and you cry like a little girl.

Is it just me or does Carville look like Gollum in Lord of the Rings? Or am I insulting Gollum?

Well, it's a small step up for them from "The enemy is Bush".

I have no doubt that during WWII, there were some people who thought that FDR was the real enemy and if he had just left Hitler and Tojo alone, the US wouldn't be stuck in a "quagmire" overseas. The difference is, back then their fellow citizens would have likely beaten them to a pulp for expressing such stupid ideas in public - now their heirs get prime time MSM coverage and royal treatment from the opinion-making elite.
