Rush: Dems Against Anything Good for America

Rush Limbaugh claims:

". . . I think the Democrats are telling us exactly who they are.

They are anti-war. They are anti-military, anti-victory, and anything good that happens in this country, folks, is not going to help them the way they've positioned themselves. I mean, how would you...? Who is the brain that put this party in this position? If you were in politics, how would you like this position? The only way that you benefit is if the country is in misery. The only way you benefit is if we lose in Iraq, we lose everywhere we go, we have soup lines, constant national disasters, natural disasters, everything going to hell in a hand basket. That's what it takes for you to win. Who is the wizard that constructed this party in this way? They're all doing it together because that's how they view the future. They look at things and see doom and gloom. In fact, liberalism is a doom and gloom PsyOps operation. The media is their propaganda arm. Their whole outlook is doom and gloom.

They have a PsyOps operation they've been running on this country for 50 years. Psychological operations to convince everybody that there's nothing ahead but doom and gloom, utter misery and despair, and they've got their propaganda arm, the mainstream press, to plant the stories every day. But it has resulted not in what they figured. Their triumphant return to power. In fact, they are now marginalizing themselves with people actually questioning their patriotism, not just their judgment. Questioning their sanity, questioning their real intentions."

What about the Republicans?: "They still remain their optimistic and cheerful selves."

Coulter Calls Dems "Gutless Cowards"

In an article entitled: "New Idea for the Abortion Party: Aid the Enemy," Ann Coulter wrote:

"The Democrats are giving aid and comfort to the enemy for no purpose other than giving aid and comfort to the enemy. There is no plausible explanation for the Democrats' behavior other than that they long to see U.S. troops shot, humiliated, and driven from the field of battle. They fill the airwaves with treason, but when called to vote on withdrawing troops, disavow their own public statements. These people are not only traitors, they are gutless traitors."

Murtha the "Coward'?

The uproar arose Friday as the House debated a resolution calling for an immediate withdrawal of forces from Iraq.In scheduling the vote, Republicans were trying to embarrass Democratic critics of the war, forcing them to dissociate themselves from a call earlier in the week for a slower but still definite withdrawal. That call came from Representative John P. Murtha, Democrat of Pennsylvania, a Vietnam combat veteran who spent 37 years in the Marines and is one of the most respected military authorities in the House.In attacking the Democrats' position, Ms. Schmidt, the newest member of Congress, said she had received a call from a Marine colonel, who "asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message: that cowards cut and run, Marines never do.

The House exploded in catcalls and jeers among outraged Democrats. When debate resumed, Ms. Schmidt retracted her comments and said, "I did not intend to suggest they applied to any member," especially Mr. Murtha. Ms. Schmidt could not be reached for comment on Saturday, with voice mailboxes full at all three of her offices.
