WP: Tying Kerry to Terror Tests Rhetorical Limits

"President Bush and leading Republicans are increasingly charging that Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry and others in his party are giving comfort to terrorists and undermining the war in Iraq -- a line of attack that tests the conventional bounds of political rhetoric.

Appearing in the Rose Garden yesterday with Iraq's interim prime minister, Ayad Allawi, Bush said Kerry's statements about Iraq "can embolden an enemy." After Kerry criticized Allawi's speech to Congress, Vice President Cheney tore into the Democratic nominee, calling him "destructive" to the effort in Iraq and the struggle against terrorism."

------------------------------

As far as I'm concerned, the gloves are off now. The Democrats should state unequivocally that Bush and his band or draft dodgers are cynically sacrificing our American kids to divert attention from the fact that they couldn't capture Osama and that they're not really trying to catch him. They are sacrificing our kids to misdirect public attention from the fact that this administration has no coherent policies on how to run this country. Their only goal is to enrich the wealthy, screw the middle class, and give control of this country to multi-national corporations.

These people sicken me to the bottom of my gut!

1. Fascist to the core.

It's time for the disaffected and uninvolved to pay attention. Next they will be going after the 1st amendment in a substantive way, and the 2nd amendment will not be far behind.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
