Daschle Demands Apology by President Over Statement

The New York Times ^ | 09/26/2002 | CARL HULSE and TODD S. PURDUM

This is the equal to the subliminal accusation. It is pure fiction. Something from nothing and then a BIG BANG! and voila! Scandal.

[TheBattman]

Hey, somebody tell Daschle that sometimes - THE TRUTH HURTS. I'm just glad GW had the balls to tell the truth.

Americans Die - Democrats dither

[PhiKapMom]

I worked for the AF for 13 years -- virtually impossible to get rid of anyone. I think I will take my chances with office politics over unions!

[SCHROLL]

Mr, and I do use the term very loosely, Daschle, as to the subject of your want of an apology, I'll quote a much wiser and braver man than you. As General McAuliffe said to the Germans while surrounded by the Germans "Nuts"

[tomball]

He added, his voice growing raspy: "You tell those who fought in Vietnam and World War II they are not interested in the security of the American people," because they are Democrats. "That is outrageous."

What is more outrageous is the rantings of Mr. Daschle and others who have a problem with taxpayers paying him for a defense that he is unwilling to fund. Is Mr. Daschle outraged over the outrageous?

So are are a whole lot of taxpayers.

It is outrageous that the Clinton Democrats thought it was OK to look the other way when the WTC was bombed the first time -- almost ten years ago.

It was outrageous when the Democrats looked the other way when our soldiers (on a UN peace keeping mission) were being dragged through the streets of Sudan by terrorists -- it was more outrageous that those soldiers requested help, and never got it.

It was outrageous that the Democrats would not take seriously the claims of middle east groups who may have participated in the OKC bombing (remember - the press was told to quash all stories of muslim extremists who claimed involvement - it was politically easier to pin it all on one man than to investigate a group of people who may have had a bad case of Gulf War Retaliation Syndrom) -

It was outrageous for the Democratic White House to bomb an aspirin factory to distract the fact that the president was about to be impeached, and to not demand enhanced security when the USS Cole was bombed -

It is outrageous that the Democrats think so little of their fellow Americans that they would further jeopardize their security by not investigating why the INS (Ted Kennedy is in charge of that agency) allowed terrorists into America for the past ten years.

It is even more outrageous that this agency still has no means of knowing who it let in the country, whose visas are expired, or where these people are. (Yes, this is the agency that extended suicide bombers visas months after 911).

It is outrageous that the Democrats permitted an impeached president to further jeopardize the US by pardoning convicted terrorists (that includes economic terrorists such as Rich) for the sole purpose of funding elections.

Waco was outrageous, so was Ruby Ridge, so was the Elian Gonzalez Raid, the "Bubble Economy," and much, much more. Outrageous? You bet.

Today's Democrats would rather be courting third world countries (Indonesia), Bhuddist temples, union thugs, environmental extremists, and every other fringe group to fund elections, further political egos, and enhance socialist agendas. Mr. Daschle, the Democrats you pointed out who served our country, are not the same noble men who fought in Viet Nam or WWII - those were the men with the guts to put America first before their political party.

IMHO DASCHLE HAS PMS.

Pre-Minority Syndrome?

[rockfish59]

If he would have started yelling 'LICK ME, LICK ME', then the men in white should have tackled him!
LOL!

[Post Toasties]

What do you expect from a state where the state bird is a mosquito?

[Post Toasties]

Of course they'd elect a pea brained midget blood sucker to the Senate.

[rockfish59]

Yeah Tom, I'm calling you a TURD!

[rockfish59]

From piss ants? =0)

[rockfish59]

'I WAS AT NORMANDY..........
last year!'
LOL!

[BUSHdude2000]

After Daschle takes responsibility for the Left's destruction of our security: http://www.yaf.org/speakers/books/horowitz.pdf - then maybe Bush can apologize.

[Lizard_King]

I think Napoleon is a more apt example (not that I am a big fan of the French, you understand, but objectively speaking he was a pretty good general). Sheridan's record, to my understanding, is something of a mixed bag, especially when compared to the tactical prowess of his opponents. His record on civilians (due to the Grant scorched earth policy) is interesting to say the least.

[Lizard_King]

All that aside, I think in Daschle's case his body remains too large for his character, which is petty and small.
Personally, I would be interested to see what role Daschle would play on the ground. Perhaps we could strap him to the front of a tank to protect that expensive metal frame.
