Comment from a wingnut/former Bush speechwriter (must read, from 10/28)

From Talking Points---what Josh Marshall refers to as a literary Columbine:

Friends, neighbors, and countrymen of the Left: I hate your lying guts

October 28, 2006 12:50 am

WHEN I WAS speechwrit- ing at the White House, one rule was enforced without exception. The president would not be given drafts that lowered him or The Office by responding to the articulations of hatred that drove so many of his critics.

This rule was especially relevant to remarks that concerned the central topic of our times, Iraq. Having left the White House more than a year ago, I conclude that the immunizing effect of that rule must have expired, because I now find that I am infected with a hatred for the very quarter that inspired the rule--the deranged, lying left.

I never used to feel hatred for people such as Cindy Sheehan, Harry Belafonte, Danny Glover, or other pop-culture notables who, for example, sing the praises of Central American dictators while calling President Bush the greatest terrorist on earth. I do now.

Snip...

I used to laugh these people off. Now I detest them as among the most loathsome people America has ever vomited up.

Snip...

I now hate Howard Dean, the elected leader of the Democrats, who, by repeatedly stating his conviction that we won't win in Iraq, bets his party's future on our nation's defeat.

I hate the Democrats who, in support of this strategy, spout lie after lie: that the president knew in advance there were no WMD in Iraq; that he lied to Congress to gain its support for military action; that he pushed for the democratization of Iraq only after the failure to find WMD; that he was a unilateralist and that the coalition was a fraud; that he shunned diplomacy in favor of war.

These lies, contradicted by reports, commissions, speeches, and public records, are too preposterous to mock, but too pervasive to rebut, especially when ignored by abetting media.

more...

I smell fear!

1. No hatred for Dems in any of Bush's speeches, eh? I notice that this

former speechwriter doesn't offer up a vision of what is "victory" in Iraq either, I guess we just take their word for it.

2. Blah, blah, blah.

So this guy isn't doesn't work in the White House anymore so now he come out of the closet with his hate?

I'm shocked, I tell you. Simply shocked.

Look for more of this after Bush leaves office. His former staffers won't be able to help themselves and will reveal themselves to the world.

3. so, did Hatey Haterson sign this tripe? Who wrote it?

4. Your grammar suggests he's a former wingnut.

I assure you that he's still practicing in that profession.

6. Here is a snippet, from this "enlightened" pariot

Second, no soldier dies in vain who goes to war by virtue of the Constitution he swears to defend. This willingness is called "duty," and it is a price of admission into the highest calling of any free nation--the profession of arms. We have suffered more than 2,300 combat deaths in Iraq so far. Not one was in vain. Not one.

So why is your leader, shredding the Constitution? Would they have gone and served and sacrificed, if they knew that their Commander in Chief was authorizing wire taps on their fellow citizens, granting the government the right to arrest them and hold them without trial by the whim of the president, to steal the mineral wealth of another nation, so that the industry friends of the president can grow fat for profits, to take a major SH** on fellow citizens whether they are vets coming home from war, people of New Orleans and the gulf coast, or their elderly relatives being raped by Medicare drug prices? There is not a hell hot enough for you and your leader.
