OT: The Democrats' 'Toughness Gap' |
The Democrats' 'Toughness Gap'
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5853704/site/newsweek/
The GOP throws 'red meat.' The PC Dems are loath to offend
By Jonathan Alter
Newsweek
Sept. 6 issue - Shortly before the 1992 election, a World War II
veteran approached NEWSWEEK and other major media outlets with an
unsubstantiated story about how he said he saw President George H.W.
Bush strafing unarmed Japanese fishermen in the Pacific when both men
were young Navy fliers. None of us published or broadcast the
explosive allegations until after the election, and if we had, Bill
Clinton's campaign indicated it would have denounced them. The same
thing happened in 2000, when a book called "Fortunate Son" alleged
youthful illegal activities by George W. Bush. No one from Al Gore's
campaign would touch the story until later, and the book was withdrawn
by the publisher.

Yes, and it pisses me off royally. I just sent more money to the DNC with a
note to cut the ***** and go on an all out frontal attack.
They think, because of Iowa, that the public will get sick of Bush's attacks
and the swing voters will be turned off by them and turn to the nice
Democrats. I say horsehit ---- attack the lying, destructive,
conscienceless ***** Bush.
Write to the DNC - tell them to attack - just tell the truth about what Bush
has done - they don't need to lie like the Republicans.
