The Party of the Impotent Cries Foul
Hello boys and girls, and welcome to my neighborhood. Can you say "hypocrisy" boys and girls? That's what's emanating from the Democrats, the Party of the Impotent, daily. I don't know why it continues to surprise me, but it does.
The latest example comes after White House adviser Karl Rove made some interesting comparisons in a speech.
Rove, Bush's chief political adviser, said in a speech Wednesday that "liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers." Conservatives, he said in the speech to the New York state Conservative Party just a few miles north of Ground Zero, "saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war."
Rove said the Democratic Party made the mistake of calling for "moderation and restraint" after the terrorist attacks.
Now the Impotents are crying out for a retraction AND an apology from Rove.
[New York Senator Charles] Schumer said Democrats were drafting a letter asking Rove to retract his remarks. Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., also called on President Bush to "immediately repudiate Karl Rove's offensive and outrageous comments."
Offensive? Outrageous?
Where was the Democrats outrage when Dickie Durbin compared our soldiers to Nazis, Stalinists and the Khmer Rouge? Have they been offended by Howard Dean's running at the mouth, calling Republicans lazy, evil, exclusionary white Christians? Golly, Gomer Pyle, I guess there's nothing offensive in those comments...if you're a Democrat, that is. Inflammatory speech is okay when it's directed toward the Republicans, but say anything remotely controversial about Democrats, and the Queen of Hearts runs around screaming, "Off with their heads!"
Queen of Hearts and New Yorker-by-political-convenience Hillary Clinton got into the fray, expecting New York governor George Pataki to denounce Rove's comments.
"I would call on anyone who was at that dinner who is a New Yorker who cares about the unity of not only New York City but of our country to say we may have disagreements about what the best way is to win the war against terror, but we have no disagreements about our unity and our resolve and the goals we seek," Clinton said.
Pataki refused to cave in to Clinton.
"I think it's a little hypocritical of Senator Clinton to call on me to repudiate a political figure's comments when she never asked Senator Durbin to repudiate his comments," Pataki said.
"Senator Clinton might think about her propensity to allow outrageous statements from the other side that are far beyond political dialogue -- insulting every Republican, comparing our soldiers to Nazis or Soviet gulag guards -- and never protesting when she serves with them," Pataki said.
Bravo, Mr. Pataki.
I feel like I'm back in elementary school. The Democrats can dish it out, but they can't take it, so they run crying to the teacher and tattle. "Free speech for me but not for thee" is their motto.
Grow up!
