WTF??? MSNBC: "Democrats take fire at Rumsfeld"

Once you finish snickering at the stupidity of the headline writers from MSNBC and AP, (Take aim? Fire at?) notice how the America Last crowd rises up as one and takes some pot shots at Rummy. It is obvious the SecDef hit the America Lasters where they live when he compared them to 1930's appeasers of Hitler.

WASHINGTON - Democrats chastised Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld Wednesday for questioning the historical grasp of Bush administration war critics, accusing him of engaging in "dangerous business."

Oooooooh!

Several members of Congress had been urging Rumsfeld's resignation before he asserted to the American Legion that opponents displayed the kind of thinking that delayed military action against Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany.

They got off light. I would compare them to Hitler himself.

Rumsfeld said the world faces "a new type of fascism." And he warned against repeating the pre-World War II mistake of appeasement.

Actually, we face old-fashioned mohammedism, which has been an enemy of Christendom and Western Civilization since its inception. I suspect Mr. Rumsfeld knows this but cannot say it in public for political reasons.

Rumsfeld's speech in Salt Lake City Tuesday, in which he also said that administration critics suffered from "moral confusion," prompted angry reactions from Democrats hoping to win back the majority in Congress.

Moral confusion from The Party of Blasphemy, Buggery, and 'Bortion? Nope. They detest morals and hate those who have them.

Respect or vilification

"It is a dangerous business to accuse those who disagree with you of moral and intellectual confusion," said Rep. Ike Skelton of Missouri, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee. "Debate in our democracy is based upon respect, not vilification."

Unless those who disagree with you are left-fascist totalitarian thugs with no morals, Ike.

Said House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi: "If Mr. Rumsfeld is so concerned with comparisons to World War II, he should explain why our troops have now been fighting in Iraq longer than it took our forces to defeat the Nazis in Europe."

Because of ignorant cows like you, Nancy.

Rumsfeld said it "was apparent that many have still not learned history's lessons." Aides later said he was not accusing the administration's critics of trying to appease the terrorists but was cautioning against a repeat of errors made in earlier eras.

Fighting words

Nevertheless, Rumsfeld's remarks were seen by many Democrats in Congress as fighting words.

I am sure Rumsfeld could take out any Democrass America Laster in a fair fight.

Sen. Jack Reed, a member of the Armed Services Committee, said Rumsfeld has been "substituting sloganing for strategy" and delivered a "calculated political argument" to make people believe that to support a war against terror requires support of the administration's policies.

What would you do to defeat the enemy we face in this war, Jack? I must have missed the numberless tomes you have written on the subject.

"I think the analogy is very, very weak," Reed, D-R.I., said of Rumsfeld's comparison of Iraq to World War II.

Wake up, numbskull. Even Neville Chamberlain did. Eventually.

Rumsfeld resignation sought

It is time Rumsfeld "should be departing" the Pentagon, Reed added. Reed, Pelosi and other Democrats have been calling for the defense secretary's resignation for more than a year.

Sen. Charles E. Schumer of New York called Rumsfeld's portrayal of Democrats a "strawman" and said Americans need answers on how to deal with a looming civil war in Iraq.

The Real Junior Senator From New York does know straw. It is what is between his ears.

Also Wednesday, a New York Democratic House candidate accused Rumsfeld of lying about progress in Iraq.

"After 21 months of trying to find something I can agree with Secretary Rumsfeld on, it is true: the American people are being lied to and I totally agree with Secretary Rumsfeld," Eric Massa, a Navy veteran, said in a conference call with reporters.

Who?

"What I disagree with is the fact that he's the one doing the lying," he said.

Massa, who is challenging one-term Republican Rep. Randy Kuhl, said he was outraged by Rumsfeld's comments and faulted him for blaming the media for his own misstatements and missteps. He (? - F.G.) said the Bush administration has no effective plan to secure the country.

"This thing has disintegrated," Walz said of Iraq. "On the macro level, there's an absolute failure."

Ooooooh! The "macro level"! Let's confuse the masses with something that sounds scientific. Let's use phrases that cannot be penetrated because they have no meaning!

Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said the Democratic candidates' strategy is to criticize Republican efforts to win the war on terror, while elected Democrats are "committed to a strategy that will weaken our ability to defend America and make us less safe at home and abroad."
