4/04/2003 12:26:00 AM | Timothy Astroturf McCarthyism And here I was thinking the 'you can't criticize the President in a time of war' claim was becoming less frequent since the days after 9/11. Atrios has this release to TeamGOP 'letter to the editor' grassroots writers: Yesterday, John Kerry shocked many Americans when he called for "regime change" right here in the U.S. By comparing our commander-in-chief to Saddam Hussein's brutal regime at a time of war, Kerry showed just what he is willing to say to appeal to liberal Democrat primary voters. RNC, Chairman Marc Racicot quickly responded saying, "Senator Kerry crossed a grave line when he dared to suggest the replacement of America's commander-in- chief at a time when America is at war. Critical analysis offered in the best interests of the country is part of a healthy democracy. But this use of self- serving rhetoric designed to further Senator Kerry's political ambitions at a time when the lives of America's sons and daughters are at stake reflects a complete lack of judgment."But I don't want to be a mindless partisan by saying the GOP is full of mindless partisans. They know exactly what they are doing here. perma link |
