(Please note addition of Sunday afternoon UPDATE below.)
Thursday of last week, Democratic Representative Corinne Brown assailed Republican Representatives on the floor of the U.S. House:
"I come from Florida, where you and others participated in what I call the United States coup d'etat. We need to make sure that it doesn't happen again. Over and over again after the election when you stole the election, you came back here and said get over it. No we're not going to get over it and we want verification from the world."After seeing her quote, I wondered if the Democratic National Convention--which arrives next week--would churn out barking moonbat speeches on the order of Brown’s recent outburst.
Silly me; I shouldn’t have had to wonder.
Recent news of Howard Dean teaming up on the podium with Michael Moore only confirms suspicions that “Bushitler Lied, People Died” will be a dominant theme at the Fleet Center in Boston.
Massachusetts Democratic Party spokeswoman Jane Lane raves,
“[H]aving Michael Moore in Boston to enjoy the events just adds a lot of excitement to everything else going on … .”“I think that every Democrat in Massachusetts will be thrilled.''
Moore—that loathsome, disgusting butterball—has become the cult favorite of the Democratic party, which itself says volumes of the depths to which the Party has sunk even since Howard Dean’s primal scream therapy only scant months ago.
With speakers like Dean, Gore, and Moore, next week’s Convention promises to be a leftist freak show.
UPDATE (Sunday afternoon):
Drudge reports that already infighting has begun among Democratic organizers over how much to bushitlerize the rhetoric at the Democratic Convention.
Already Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry 'McAwful' is trying to avoid a Convention meltdown by asserting,
"We are not Michael Moore"
That the Chairman Spinner of the DNC has to voice this disclaimer speaks volumes to the deep, inevitable, and perhaps irreversible Moorization that has already occurred in the Party. The full moon has already risen upon the Party; can its Chairman be heard above the howls of the gathering pack?
A little too little and too late, McAwful—the Moveon.org, Deaniac underbelly of your party has sewn the Butterball, and the Butterball it must reap. Moore's 'FraudNHate 9/11' remains the battle cry of the hardcore party faithful, who have themselves become identified with its extremism.
It will be a fascinating to watch the power struggle unfold at the Democratic National Convention this week, and see if pragmatist McAwful can keep the rabid party faithful from spinning the Convention out of control. Unless McAwful can quash the looming Hate-Fest, the Kerry Anti-Bush Campaign may be dead by the end of the week.
A Friend of Ours is Coming In from Boston Tomorrow
He said it was not worth the hassle to try to get to work next week with the Democrat Convention basically shutting down the town. I told him that I would be leaving town too if the Democrats were taking it over.
Of course, Moore's stupid movie provides the script for this bizarre leftist lovefest and I can only hope that they forget the fact that they only win by pretending to be the "moderate middle." Hoping that they forget that they are supposed to be "moderates;" let them start obsessing over the 2000 election and perhaps they'll succeed in making total asses of themselves as they forget to put forth any sensible ideas!
Let them wallow in their belief that losing in 2000 was a greater crisis than the attacks of September 11, 2001. Sooner or later, most sensible people will realize that that is the kind of thing you are supposed to get over and "move on."
Posted by: rs at July 24, 2004 04:55 AM (Permalink)Clark's reliance on puerile name-calling suggests that he's the one who's become unhinged.
Posted by: m.croche at July 24, 2004 09:59 AM (Permalink)By the way, Clark is also a liar.
He writes: "Moore—that loathsome, disgusting butterball—has become the cult favorite of the Democratic party."
Yet the very newspaper article he cites (with the title "Farenheit 7/26: Michael Moore: I will crash Kerry's party") observes: " Kerry, whose campaign has gone out of its way to avoid Moore and his movie's controversial claims, wouldn't comment on his appearances. "
Moore is clearly not the "cult favorite" of the Democratic presidential nominee.
Posted by: m.croche at July 24, 2004 10:06 AM (Permalink)The statement you make at the end doesn't quite refute the one you made at the beginning...
But that's why we put up with you- you have a constant ability to miss the point/
Posted by: The Angry Clam at July 25, 2004 07:54 AM (Permalink)rs, I agree with you completely.
Your following point is well taken:
they only win by pretending to be the "moderate middle."
The only question is whether they can play-pretend for an entire week at being "moderate" after having become so radicalized since their primaries.
It will be interesting to see how it plays out in their Convention now almost ready to begin.
m.croche,
puerile name-calling
Whether you realize it (or can admit it) or not, I am being most kind and temperate in my language when I refer to Michael Moore as a “loathsome, disgusting butterball.”
Were this not a family-oriented blog (and where I one given to the free use of Kerryesque expletives [just ask the Rolling Stone, or his Secret Service detail]), you would have been treated to a far more bombastic—therefore accurate—description of Moore than I was able to give through my comparatively tame language.
Kerry, whose campaign has gone out of its way to avoid Moore and his movie's controversial claims, wouldn't comment on his appearances
Is it any wonder Kerry has not personally been involved in the Democratic Party’s sickening kissy-face with the thoroughly repellant Moore? Moore’s presence at the Democratic Convention is a necessary—albeit degrading—evil needed to energize the radicalized leftist Democratic base. Kerry has been thus far wise enough not to publicly connect himself with Moore, though not altogether free from his taint.
Moore is clearly not the “cult favorite” of the Democratic presidential nominee.
Kerry has thus far been mum regarding his “cult favorite,” so upon that point we can merely speculate.
In my post I referred to the “Democratic Party,” not the “Democratic presidential nominee.” Please get the terms of the debate right when attempting to refute my assertions.
The Democratic Party’s base, which makes up the balance of the delegates attending the Convention, unquestionably view Moore as a hero, political soul-mate, and—yes—a cult favorite. Sickening? Yes. But sickening is what has become of the Democratic Party.
Leading off with Carter and Clinton and Kerry is supposed to be the crescendo, I guess? Even supposing they hide Moore in a very dark place, bring back the "misery index!"
Yes, Carter did not exactly inspire a nation to aspire. The vacuum he created was nothing less than a gift to Reagan, the man of purpose and vision.
And Elvis, I remember when the wise Democrat distanced himself from Clinton in order to win the election.
So far I do not see anyone who presents a great vision for the free people of the world.
I can see ole' Ann Richards leading the Bush bashing now. So far "there is nothing new under the sun!"
So let's hope that 'W' will not only hang tough, but taking his cue from the great Reagan, he will continue to articulate a vision for America that will rise far above the braying of asses we can expect this week.
If Carter's legacy was Habitat for Humanity, Reagan's was creating an economy where more people could buy a home at market value than ever before. We need to hang tough and continue to remind people of that.
Reagan proved one thing: the more we stay focused on our positive vision, the more apparent is the left's looniness. I have high hopes for that happening again!

Clinton certainly felt obligated to spew forth the usual "we unify, they divide" twattle. I'm sure the controlled Bush bashing will be punctuated soon enough by the "FearandHate" bit (I love that line, clark). You must always remember; these people REALLY BELIEVE that losing the election in 2000 was a greater disaster than the attacks of September 2001, the Cole and the Beruit Marine Barracks bombing combined! Sooner or later that will come to the surface... and the country will be better off for it.
Gag me with the rings of Saturn … Carter lectured America on foreign policy! Now all we need is Clinton to come back to lecture America on marital fidelity.
Part of Carter’s speech included this gem:
Let us not forget that the Soviets lost the Cold War because the American people combined the exercise of power with adherence to basic principles, based on sustained bipartisan support.
Uh, Hate to break it to you, Jimmy boy, but the Soviets were on the way to winning the Cold War under your tenure. The Soviets lost the Cold War because the American people threw you out on your incompetent keister, and replaced you with a man who in eight years turned around your malaise and built up our military to the point that Communism fell before the end of the decade.
Jimmy boy, go back to building Houses for Humanity. It’s the only decent thing you’ve done with your life since you first entered politics.
"Let us not forget that the Soviets lost the Cold War because the American people combined the exercise of power with adherence to basic principles, based on sustained bipartisan support." Yeah Jimmy, Reagan WAS brilliant, and you guys are all to ready to try to share the credit!
...or should I say SNARE the credit!
Actually, I'm not so sure I'd trust Jimmy Carter for advice on sheetrock right now.

Can you imagine the thought of Jimmy serving on a submarine as a young man?!
If I were the sub's Captain, I'd be following Jimmy around from dawn 'til dusk, bellowing, "Don't touch that! ... Don't TOUCH that!!!" whenever he went near something. :-O
I wouldn't feel safe sharing a dinghy with ol' Jimmy, let alone a submarine!
"Tale of the Torsk"
a tragicomedy, available on dvd
Clark, you're scaring me!
Actually it would have made quite a sitcom... kind of like "McCale's Navy" with say, Don Knotts as young Jimmy. The skipper could be Andy Griffith or Gene Hackman, take your pick!
My hypothetical "Tale of the Torsk" does probably provide some insight into how they returned safely. Remember, Andy ALWAYS made Barney keep his bullet in his pocket!
Posted by: rs at July 28, 2004 08:15 AM (Permalink)Clark, you're scaring me!
Yeah, imagine Jimmy wandering toward the torpedo room. :-O
Jimmy, sitting down among the buttons and levers ... fascinated.
SCARY!
The skipper could be Andy Griffith or Gene Hackman, take your pick!
Don't forget Alan Hale Jr. ... "Giligaaaaaaan!"
