For Your Disapproval

From the ad placed in a Florida newspaper by the St. Petersburg Democratic Club:

Senator Edward Kennedy is absolutely right when he called Iraq "Bush's Vietnam." But isn't not only Bush, it's his whole damned Bunch--Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld, Rice, Rove, and Ridge.

They've tried to blame the Iraq war on bad intelligence, on Al Quaida, on terrorists, on foreigners from Iran and Syria. Bush doesn't even know who in the hell we're fighting. The Bush Bunch calls the Iraqis insurgents. Did you know that Britain called the American revolutionaries insurgents and traitors? The Iraqis aren't insurgents. They're Iraqi patriates (sic) who want us the hell out of their country, and we should get the hell out of their country now!

We have Marines and soldiers being killed by the dozen with many more wounded. How many have to be killed before the Bush Bunch is satisfied? How many burial services of our Iraq dead has Bush attended? Any? How many military hospitals has Bush visited to talk to our wounded who have lost arms, or legs, or their eye sight, or combination of these--how many?

And then there's Rumsfeld who said of Iraq "We have our good days and our bad days." We should put this S.O.B. up against a wall and say "This is one of our bad days," and pull the trigger. Do you want to salvage our country? Be a savior of our country? Then vote for John Kerry and get rid of the whole Bush Bunch.

I'll be charitable and assume that this is the work of a handful of wing nuts, and not the view of most Democrats. I'll be charitable and assume that this is the case; I hope that my left-leaning friends don't let me down and let this disgusting display go unremarked.

From the Unblogger.

(I've typed this in from a scanned copy of the ad. Typos, except where noted, are mine.)

I think that there a lot on the left who might think this sort of thing, but they're at least partly sane and they would never say such a thing out loud or actually do it.

...they would never say such a thing out loud or actually do it.

At least, not until somebody gets elected to office who has been saying it out loud.

Fair enough.

I find it amazing that no one ever discusses the fact the JFK, the godfather of modern Democrats (or so they claim) is the father of Vietnam, one of the most disputed wars the US ever engaged in. Kennedy has the gall to point one finger at GWB when he has three pointing right back at himself?
