This is an except from a moveon.org member's e-mail to Dean Barnett at Hughhewitt.com.
"It
was the Right that resorted to unbelievable vitriol and sliming in the
Clinton administration and haven't stopped since. How different is the
MoveOn ad from The Swift Boat campaign against Kerry? And have you
heard Ann Coulter lately? I mean if you strip away the content, the
insulting, demeaning and ad hominem attacks are certainly not limited
to the left. But because we have no voice in the media (yeah, yeah, I
know, but the MSM is actually very mainstream and resolutely corporate
and representative of those interests) our tactics need to respond
accordingly. Such is that way of a robust democracy, which thank
goodness we still are."
This is delusional. The Swift Boat ads
were completely accurate. The vast majority of the men in the company
that Kerry served in supported them. He received three Purple Hearts
and didnt spend one day in the hospital. No one, American or VC, was
killed or wounded in these 'battles'. Kerry was apparently the only
casualty. After his tour of duty was cut short by his three Purple
Hearts he returned to testify to the Senate about the bloodthirsty
animals, reminding one of Genghis Khan! that he was forced to serve
with. Senator Kerry has never responded to the charges made and refuses
to release his military records.
General Petraeus is not a traitor
as alleged in the ad ; the Swift Boat ads were accurate and
MoveOn.Org's canard against the leader of our army on the field of
battle is a vicious lie.
The Right never called Clinton a Nazi or a
retard or any of the thousand other epithets that are daily hurled at
President Bush. Happening to notice Bill Clinton's many departures from
the truth, his association with criminals and foreign intelligence
services, the fact that he committed perjury under oath on national TV
in an especially disgusting sexual harassment case ( where the
complainant was described by minion James Carville as "What you get
when you drag a twenty-dollar bill through a trailer park on the end of
a fishline.") and disagreeing with his big government philosophy are
not sliming or vitriol. There is no 'Right Wing' War Room, that concept
was invented by the Clintons. The idea that they are helpless victims
of irrational anger, and that the left has no voice in the national
media when they ARE the national media is laughable. The Clinton's have
used their close association and ideological brotherhood with the media
to avoid answering any questions about their activities.
Poor James
Carville, Lonnie Davis and Sid Blumenthal. Such nice people and those
vicious Right-Wingers made up such terrible things about them. History
will show the honesty, sincerity and dignity of the Clinton
Administration. While us hate-filled ideologues were wringing slime and
insults from our fevered brows the other side was turning the other
cheek, with a tear in their eye for their misguided brethren. Yes, the
left did offer some helpful, mild and constructive criticism of
President Bush but if paranoid neocons want to take respectful terms such
as Nazi lying babykiller fascist pig murderer as negative than what can
a rational person do? An 'effective' full-page ad calling the leader,
successful leader, of our troops in the field against a dangerous enemy
a traitor was only to help make him a better general.
Sometimes I
prefer the left to foam with invective. Its more true to who they are.
They are trying to destroy this country. The Clinton Administration was
the most corrupt in American history. Although they weren't the most
incompetent its only because they had a Republican congress to turn
aside their most errant follies. In foreign policy they were a total
disaster.
Now someone from a website which has been proud to run the
most vile anti-semitic slurs and actually advocates policies that would
lead to the death of millions of Jews in Israel is presenting himself
and his ilk as ill-used victims. He denies that they are
anti-capitalist (or does he?) and states that they're just plain folks.
Fine. So are we.
