Kucinich electrifies convention arena

Kevin Flynn Tue Aug 26, 7:12 PM ET

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, erstwhile presidential candidate and strident opponent of the Bush administration, gave the most spirited speech of the session Tuesday condemning the war, the economy and the Republicans

Short in stature, the Ohio congressman leaped up onto his tip toes time and again, thrusting his arms out and up, (just like Hitler!) getting the crowd to roar so loudly he had to yell into the microphone to be heard.

...

Then he launched into a “Wake Up” litany:

...

With each refrain, the delegates grew more frenzied. (because you know, those libbies don't get "excited", they get whipped into a baby-aborting LGBT-loving, peacenik hippie collectivist "frenzy"!)

...

1. I read this article last night,
and thought it was very positive.

2. Overall, it was okay, but I thought the description of his arm-thrusting and the "frenzy"
...were "interesting" choices of words.

Somehow, I imagine that if it was some ultra-right-wing nazi fuck at the GOP convention, "Kevin Flynn" would have described the nazi fuck's speech as "stirring" and the crowd's reaction as "enthusiastic" or "excited", not "frenzied".

5. Yahoo left out the classic Nazi slogan, "Erwacht Deutschland!"
Edited on Wed Aug-27-08 09:15 AM by no_hypocrisy
(translated, Wake Up Germany!) to further needlessly denigrate Kucinich.

The media will attack speakers and ignore the message every time.
