The Tom DeLay Cheerleading Squad |
Of course, you won't be surprised to learn that there are plenty of
Republicans out there who, now that DeLay has been indicted, are
perfectly willing to "close our eyes to the potential lawbreaking,
forgive and forget, move on and tear an unfixable hole in our legal
system."
First up is - oddly enough - Tom DeLay himself, who immediately
launched into a personal attack on the prosecutor who brought the
indictments, District Attorney Ronnie Earle.
DeLay called Earle a "partisan fanatic" and an "unabashed partisan
zealot," which was a meme that the conservative media were all too
happy to bandy about.
DeLay's lawyer subsequently popped up on every television news program
he could find to trash Ronnie Earle as a left-wing agitator who had no
case whatsoever.
The charge of Earle's liberal zealotry was repeated on all three cable
news networks and unsurprisingly by every single right-wing media
shill out there, from Rush Limbaugh to Sean Hannity to Ann Coulter and
all their little buddies in between.
Waaah!
Ronnie Earle makes Noam Chomsky look like Benito Mussolini!
This is clearly a partisan power-grab designed to blah blah blah, he
has a long history of prosecuting Republicans yada yada yada...
The truth is that Ronnie Earle is - yes - a Democrat (which these days
is a crime immediately punishable by brutal swift-boating).
But guess what?
Of the fifteen elected officials he has prosecuted during his career,
only three were Republicans.
Of course, if you're a conservative media shill it's never a good idea
to let the facts get in the way of your rhetoric.

There was no law broken.
But notice how the left destroys our system of justice to engage in a witch
hunt.
So now after we observe the democrats abuse the system and indict Delay, why
should we even recognize the law anymore. We may as just do what ever we
want.

Maybe yes, and maybe no. So you're privy to inside information on this
case now?
But notice how the left destroys our system of justice to engage in a witch

I seen Tom Delay in the cornfield... he was-a cavortin' with Beelzibub!
Burn him at the stake.
So now after we observe the democrats abuse the system and indict Delay,
Famous Dana-style straw man.

Sure thing, killer.
Since you're such an expert on legal matters, why don't you right this
wrong by getting a gun and blowing away Ronnie Earle? There would be
one less 'liberal fascist'[lol] to worry about.
