Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 08:01 PM by Just Me
About Democrats "cowering"?
:wow:
On edit: he was just reading emails about Democrats running and hiding everytime the "war on terror" is mentioned!!! A part of me is saying, "awesome" while another part is thinking, "ohhhh shit".

3. Sorry. I edited to include some details. People are pissed that,... |
|
,...Democrats are "running and hiding" from the "war on terror" rhetoric rather than backing Feingold's censure for illegal behavior.
I was,...shocked,...yet, rather pleased that Jack kinda' *giggle* put the fire directly under the asses of our reps.
I just, don't know what to think.

I took it the same way you did and was rather pleased myself. I didn't think Cafferty was ragging on Dems, just trying to light a fire. Sometimes the truth hurts. When they grow 'some' they will have earned the praise. I use to hate Cafferty then suddenly it seemed like someone took away his koolaide.

2. That's just wrong - mediaspin is out of control on this story. |
|
All the Bush mediawhores are spinning against Dems, when Feingold is getting censure into committee and censure is GATHERING support. Kerry, Harkin, and Boxer support and Harkin signed as co-sponsor. More will follow as judiciary committee Dems like Kennedy discuss it in committee with Feingold.
The breathless reporting attacking Dems is pure media spin.

4. He was reading letters from people like us; DUers could have |
|
written them. It's apparent there's a lot of anger out there at Dems in general.

15. Nope, because most everyone |

with the exception of Harkin, Kerry, and Boxer, are remaining mum so far.

18. Media not reporting it correctly, at all. Feingold was on Ed Schultz today |
|
and said it's moving. and he's happy it's in committee, and that now they have more time to work it through.
It was GOPs trying to rush a vote to control the story.
The mediawhores are spinning against the Dems so even the Dems buy into it. Feingold probably shouldn't have said Dems were cowering to FOX.
I don't think Kerry said one word against any judiciary committee Dem who held off leading a filibuster which forced him to take it up.

13. Actually, that is not right. |
|
Cafferty was questioning the lack of support from Russ Feingold fellow Democrats, regarding the censure measure.

20. No - the mediaspin is driving the story - Cafferty is caught up in spin |
|
no differently than many here on DU.
Cafferty is not a newsman, but a commentator who observes the news. It's the WaPo whore Milbank's article that is causing alot of the fury.

11. Welllll, I dunno' about that. Jack seemed rather supportive of Feingold. |
|
That's the thing!!! Jack was challenging those who failed to suppport Feingold's pressure to hold this pResident responsible/accountable.
I can't figure if,...his challenge was,...bad.
Instinctively, I FEEL it was GREAT. Politically? :shrug: I like my instincts better on this one because I NEED a vibrant, passionate goshdamned opposition party to these abusive, exploitative assholes.
So, I don't know.

21. It's the slam on Dems based on Milbank's bad reporting that I refer to. |
|
I just think Cafferty got caught up in the spin just like many on DU have.

But instead of the media discussing the merits of the censure (which should be impeachment far as I'm concerned = beaucoup merits) they are dissing the Dems some more! Distract, distract, distract from the real issue as always. I realize that the Dems running with their skirts up as though they just saw a mouse doesn't help a lot.....but the media always got to pile on and forget about the real issue.....
Gawd How I hate the fucked up whore media! :mad:

14. But, Jack was "pulling" Democrats into supporting Feingold. |
|
That's the thing.
It was almost as though he was sending a message, "DON'T BE SO GADDAMNED FEARFUL, YOUSE GOT SUPPORT!!!!"
I dunno' what to make of it except he invited people to send a clear message,...AND THEY DID!!!

17. Exactly! Cafferty is just as fed up as we are |
|
& he's holding a mirror up for them to see themselves.
With 34% approval ratings for the "president", they should be hopping to action!

25. BASED on Milbank's descriptions of Dems? |
|
Sorry, but at least half of Milbank's article attacking Dems was lies.

19. They NEED to take noble and, yes, "righteous" risks, without fear. |
|
They HAVE to BEEEEE LEADERS if they want to maintain their political positions and to sincerely serve our interests.
FUCK!!!! They don't even have to be liars or sociopaths or power-mongers to exert their interest in our Republic. What's their problem? They are facing an amoral, abusive and barbaric opposition.
FUCK!!!!
