In his radio appeal, Schumer sought to draw Bush more directly into the fray by urging the president to denounce some conservatives who have used harsh language to criticize the Democrats.

"I am making a heartfelt plea to you, Mr. President. When you came to Washington, you said you wanted to change the climate in D.C.," Schumer said. "Those stating these abhorrent views count themselves as your political allies. One word from you will bring a halt to these un-American statements. That would be a way to strengthen democracy here at home."

The senator referred generally to some activists comparing judges to the Ku Klux Klan and terrorists.

Schumer charged a small group of conservatives have "tremendous influence over the Republican Party and seems to be dictating its politics and policy" on the judges issue.

1. Chuck Schumer is a normal person...

a New Yorker, a normal, logical-thinking person, not a right-wing nut Job like Tom DeLay, for example, a stupid Texan. I apologize to every Dem in Texas for this and the last comment-but I wonder how many cows DeLay has screwed in his lifetime to become such a moron?
