"Do you suffer from winger flatulence?"
Yep, Le Comte de Bugville, Tom "Don't Call Me French!" DéLay is at it again.
0. Let me take a moment to laugh hysterically at the party that wants to destroy FDR's legacy, a social safety net, laying claim to his heritage; that's one for Leah's Hall of Shamelessness.
[Pause for helpless laughter, followed by sound of head banging on desk.]
OK, I'm done now.
1. And let me try not to laugh at the People of the Lie claiming to have moral clarity about anything, especially the Iraqi war they lied their way into (and asked our troops to give their lives for these lies).
2. And now we come to "extremist appeasement," which must have been brewed up down in the RNC basement labs for Winger Meme Development (ooh, nice acronym). I can hear Herr Rove saying, "Fax that puppy!"
I suppose "moderate appeasement" would be OK? Who is being appeased? AQ? They're laughing in their caves, saying "Mission accomplished!" Kim Il Sung? I don't think so; now that we're bogged down in Iraq. The only extremists I see here are DéLay's troops, and appeasing them never does a bit of good (ask Max Cleland).
3. "Are we at war or not?" Yes, Tom, you idiot, you winger spawn, we're at war, and we know it. A war the Rovelicans got us into through lies, and with no plan to win the peace. A war whose ill-framed declaration was delayed for partisan purposes until just before the 2000 elections. A war that is part of a larger war against Rovelican opponents, the constitution, and democracy itself. A war that started with the slow-moving, media-fuelled VRWC coup against Clinton, continued through Florida 2000, and continues today in the recall and redistricting battles.
It's all one war, and yes, you moron, you bat-winged avatar of hubris and deceit, we know we are in it. Aux duck pits, citoyens!
4. Downwind, boy!
The Democrat leaders must finally decide: Are they going to be the party of Franklin Roosevelt's moral clarity, or the party of Ted Kennedy's extremist appeasement," the Texas Republican said in a speech at the Heritage Foundation.
"Our critics can try to change the subject, but the debate will come down to one question: Are we at war or not? One choice, one vote."
