NEW YORK - Out on the street with protesters, there are environmentalists, pacifists, even some capitalists - selling anti-Bush T-shirts, of course.
But to Republicans here, the great unwashed sweating in and blocking the streets, are defined in one word: Democrats.
``Frankly it reminds me of why I left the Democratic Party,'' said former Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer. ``I used to be a Democrat and I turned instead to Ronald Reagan's upbeat optimism instead of the negativity and the liberalism and the protest movement of the Democratic Party. It wasn't my cup of tea.''
Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie has continuously referred to the protesters as Democrats, saying if they are anti-Bush they must be Democrats.
Of course, Democrats deny they're behind the protests or rallies.
``Republicans for political reasons, for political tactics, were going to try and foist that storyline to the press and to the public, but that dog just won't hunt,'' said Democratic National Committee spokesman Jano Cabrera.
``We don't have any problem with anyone exercising their constitutional right. But we do not want these protesters to serve as a disruption to the Republican National Convention,'' Cabrera said.
The suggestion doesn't exactly sit well with protesters either, many of whom protested John Kerry's convention in Boston, back independent Ralph Nader or just hate all of the above.
If it waddles like a Democrat, talks like a Democrat and smells like a Democrat...
And yet they refuse to believe that Bush isn't behind the Swifties. Psychological projection, perhaps?
Ah but of course the Swifties are tied to Bush.
Thanks Jano, that dog will hunt just fine now that we know you're running from it.
You lay down with the dogs you wake up with fleas
John F-Is-For-Frankenstein Kerry has lost control of his monster...
Soooooo, the Swifties who oppose Kerry are all Republican operatives, but the protesters who oppose Bush are NOT Democrats . . . . . Now I get it.
The difference is they are honest and Bush is a liar.
I'm surprised the MSM isn't running with:
"The demonstrators are mainly moderate Republicans excluded from the Big Tent by undercover Halliburton operatives and savage theocrats."
This things over.
Yeah, right. Consistently paint Republicans as devils incarnate who hate everybody, indoctrinate young people to that ideology from kindergarten through college, and now try to wash your hands of any responsibility for mindless hatred and violence on display in New York's streets.
Try again.
Hey. Considering the Libs' rantings on sex, that suggests a come-back to any Democrat/Liberal crazy assertion: "That dog won't hump."
You just can't get a good rent-a-mob these days.
They had to sit on their hands for the DNC 'bait-and-switch' but now they can show their true colors.
Well, there are more protestors here than in Boston.
After all this a Bush 10 point victory really wouldn't suprise me.
" The suggestion doesn't exactly sit well with protesters either, many of whom protested John Kerry's convention in Boston"
I didn't see it. Just like they protested Kosovo (I didn't see that) or disagreed with Clinton when impeached (I didn't see that) or ....
These are democrats who are full of hate, which explains it all.
I doubt old Jano, or for that matter, any of these limp-wristed femme dems, knows anything about hunting dogs.
