Washington, DC, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- The remembrance of Japan's 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor took on partisan political spin Tuesday with a Democrat leader using it to attack House Republicans.Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe, in a special Pearl Harbor Day statement, said national unity 63 years ago enabled Americans to go forward and defeat the country's enemies, but the same kind of unity needed now was being undermined by Republican disagreements over provisions of the yet-to-be-voted on intelligence reform bill.
"While we as a nation are united in this fight, there are clearly deep divisions within the Republican Party, divisions that are impeding our fight against terrorism," he said.
"Moving forward, it is my sincere hope that the Republicans running Washington will stop playing their political games and start fighting for the American people, just as our honored veterans did 63 years ago."

This from the Dims, who have taken over for Joseph Goebbels and Tokyo Rose with their anti-American propaganda.
The American public laugh at this remark. Terry, go away, you miserable failure!
Terry is working hard to appease the true believers in the DNC today.
So get with the program, Terry, and support Pres. Bush's policies!
I think we should all thank Terry for being so inept.
Those words mean so much coming from a professional extortionist.
That sounded particularly mean-sprited and divisive, coming from the Party of Tolerance©
Any 'Intelligence Bill' that Terry McAwful supports is *surely* not the best possible approach for America...
McAuliffe is a disgusting excuse of a man. The more he talks, the more he (and the DNC) loses. Keep talking Terry.
Stupid democrat liberial ranting.
Every day Terry M. stays on is a gift.
In other words, the country can only be truly unified when it is run by a big gov't Democrat, with the Democrats in control of the Senate, the House and the Supreme Court.
To paraphrase Harry Truman; 'McAwful knows as much about Pearl Harbor as a pig knows about sunday'.
I truly hope Terry changes his mind and stays as DNC chairman.
This is the same man that had big grin on his face in the primaries when almost all of the candidates (not Lieberman) where advocating pulling our troops out of Iraq.
Yeah, that would really pay tribute to the WWII vets, cut and run.
How can Terry actually say things like this with a straight face?
Exactly, and who is it who is standing in the way of national unity today? The minority Democrats who just can't get over that they lost.
This man is such a putz. Where does he conjure up the remarkable amount of idiocy, daily, to maintain this state of utter denial and inanity? I reckon it's a gift.
Good for you, Terry. It's good to have a skill.
It's music to my ears to hear McAwful have to utter this phrase.
Everybody knows the Democratic party was responsible for Pearl Harbor.
Aaaw, this special?
Terry McAuliffe exploting the Pearl Harbor remebrance by barfing up his imbecilic bile:
"[I] hope that the Republicans running Washington will stop playing their political games and start fighting for the American people, just as our honored veterans did 63 years ago."
Nothing is too inappropriate or tacky to the Democratic Party.
