Rush should send Daschle a box of cigars for all the free advertisement.

I just wish he had mentioned Free Republic too.

[Sweet Hour of Prayer]

"You know, somebody says something, and then it becomes a little more shrill the next time, and then more shrill the next time, and pretty soon it's a foment that becomes physical in addition to just verbal. And that's happening in this country. And I worry about where, over the course of the next decade, this is all going to go."

If he were talking about the aggressiveness of the gay lobbyists I'd agree with him wholeheartedly. Mr. Daschle if Rush Limbaugh said this about the militant gays he'd be accused of a hate crime.

Terrorists are a threat to FREEDOM, criminals are a threat to FREEDOM, the snipers were a threat to FREEDOM...but a serial lying politician like yourself Tom, may be the biggest threat to FREEDOM. You are doomed against people everywhere that love and understand FREEDOM.

Let's try this on for size:

Little Tommy was talking to some "experts" and they said,

McAuliffe: "Hey! After OK City, Clinton was able to turn the tables on the Republicans by blaming it all on Rush Limbaugh. Of course it was all BS, but the fools out there in flyover country--huh? Oh stuff it. You think they're fools too. After all, they elected you didn't they--heh-heh, easy, Tom, just kidding. But they swallowed it hook, line, and sinker before and they'll swallow it again."

"Why don't you go out and make a statement about the new round of "right-wing hate"--religious fundamentalism would be a good angle, smear the Christians in the process by tying them to the Islamic maniacs."

"Yes, I know Rush has no use for religious fundamentalism but the average schmuck in the Party doesn't know that-- so just go out there and tell the world about all the death threats you're getting now--oh yeah, and do the Gore thing, throw your wife and kids in too-- because of Rush--"

"No? Well hell, just make it up--that's what Clinton did and it worked for him for years. Beside, the media will repeat it as written for them, you know that--no one will ask you any hard questions about actual facts or specific threats or anything."

"This will get you even, too, by the way, for that thrashing Limbaugh gave you last week when he busted you wide open on his show!"

Daschle: "Yeah...death threats...from Limbaugh listeners...yeah...that's the ticket! Peter, Dan and Tom will eat it up! Chris Matthews will go nuts! Thanks, Dick, you're a genius!"

Asked if he thought there was a direct link between the talk radio criticism and the threats to his personal security, he answered: "I do. Oh, absolutely."

Asked if he thought there was a direct link to the violence in Rap Music, Movies, Videos, MTV, and the acting out of this violence by young people, he answered: "Oh! No! Absolutely not."

A caller on Howie Carr made the point that Daschle had just insulted him personally, and about 20 million other Americans.

re post #46...

I actually watched and listened to Daschle's speech --- not just sound bytes. I could write pages as to what I thought of Dachle's speech; however, to be brief, Daschle was out to lunch on a rant.

He owes America an apology. His speech was beyond politics. Daschle proved today, no question about it - he is a lifetime card-carrying member of the LooNey Left.

[gabby hayes]

Some blatant lunacy by the storm troopers of the left at a Berkeley would do wonders now. Maybe ANWAR will provide the catalyst. The times, they are a changing. It's beyond wonderful to see the lefties on the defensive.

[wcbtinman]

If any true conservatives were really a threat to Dashole, he'd be dead already.

[Izzy Dunne]

Sounds like you have an exciting future as a democratic political consultant!
Hang by the phone, OK?
That call wil come any day now...

You posted, "Now that Hillary has been given spokesperson status, Pelosi is minority leader and Tommy continues his mental self-destruction, I am truly convinced that God has a wonderful sense of humor.

These three shrill and vile left wing maggots are in the process of turning the DemonicRat party into the Donner Party.

We haven't seen how self destructive they can be. Wait until about the week before the new Congress is sworn in and watch them go ballistic and then start devouring each other after the new congress is sworn in.

The new congress and GW will hit them with so many reversals of their left wing bravo sierra socialism of the past 40 years, they will wander around like the guys with the sandwich board that says, "The world is ending!"

[Grampa Dave]

Hey, traitor Da$$hole here is our level of sympathy for you and your rat party as you become the Donner Party:

I've already got the popcorn ready, will stock up the fun cabinet and put all the local pizza joints on ready status.

THIS ONE IS GONNA BE FUN TO WATCH.

Dasshole's phone must have rung off the hook Monday after Rush gave his *What have YOU done for the war on terror, Senator Dasshole* speech.....that's the only thing that I can think of....it may have incited a few to call his office...but death threats, who knows?

[RWG]

who are then so energized to go out and hurt somebody...like union thugs in Philadelphia?

[retiredtexan]

Probably as many times as posters want.

[Calvin Locke]

What gets me is the "third party" voice: "We were told..."

By who? The seminar callers you recruit? The taxpayer funded aides you assigned to listen to talk show hosts not on the talking points memos distribution list?

The average Joe Democrat?

Pray tell, Tom, just "who" is telling you? Ellen Goodman? Maureen Dowd? Howell Raines? Babs? Dead Indians that even register when dead, let alone vote? WHO?

[Grampa Dave]

Having plenty of popcorn and pizza available while watching the Rats become the Donner Party is appropriate!
