He's Bipartisan! (Democrat Chariman Caught Masquerading As Republican In Letter To Editor)
wsj Best Of The Web ^ | September 15, 2008 | JAMES TARANTO

Posted on 09/16/2008 7:56:18 AM PDT by lowbridge

The Lebanon (Pa.) Daily News carries a letter to the editor from Christopher Tarsa, who makes the case for crossing party lines to support Barack Obama:

"As a Republican and strong McCain supporter in 2000, I was disappointed and saddened in 2004 when McCain permanently traded in his maverick credentials and sold out his principles to support George W. Bush."

-snip

But the paper appends a tagline that rather undercuts Tarsa's claim to speak "as a Republican": "Tarsa is chairman of the Lebanon County Democratic Committee."

Yet they chose to publish the letter anyway. Fake but accurate, I guess.

Anytime you read the words “lifetime Republican” in a liberal publication you can assume the person is a hack for the ‘Rats.

They use the same words when calling Rush too. You know when they start out with those words, a democrat is on the line.

Man, you really have to parse the words of a Dimocrat carefully.

A close re-read shows that the guy is saying he was a Republican and a McCain supporter in 2000, but he's not saying he's a pubbie now.

The DNC must give training classes in how to write like that.

My wife sees them in her seniors club

Buttons that say Republicans for Kerry ( in 2004 )

Yeah right —they are lifelong democrats

Never dawns on them if they had truth on their side they wouldn’t have to lie

More like a one-line fisking, if you think about it.

How transparent is a "Republican" who is supporting Brawk Hussein Obama?

I know these idiots will never stop trying this stale act, but just because they are stupid, they shouldn't assume that we are.

Someone who is a "Republican" you would have to assume has some semblance of conservative values...and for that person to say they are supporting the most liberal Senator in the entire US Senate is preposterous beyond comprehension
