RETURN OF THE REPUBLICAN SLIME MACHINE - Altercation

[dArKeR]

How scared are the Republicans of Wesley Clark? You can judge by how dirty their tactics become. Remember Mike Dukakis’ alleged history of mental illness? That one had the Republicans working on a rumor circulated by supporters of Lyndon LaRouche. Remember John McCain’s out-of-wedlock black child? His breakdown under torture in Vietnam? What about Bill Clinton’s out-of-wedlock black child? The gun-running/drug deals and murders he caused at Mena airport in Arkansas? And Al Gore was the serial liar. Yeah, right. Get ready, General.

George Will began it weeks ago. (Here’s the original.) Now check out this op-ed by Ralph Peters in Murdoch’s New York Post. There’s also a cartoon on Page Six, which is not online, that depicts the Democrats in straightjackets. (Meanwhile, my buddy Richard Cohen addresses this issue rather more sensibly this morning, but still edges a little close to the Republican trap for my taste.) Anyway, I sure would like to see Clark kick a little ass on the use of these tactics. Democrats have rolled over for too long.

1. He needs a defense team...

like Dean has. They smack down every smear coming his way. Please Clarkies, get your man a good counterspin team!

2. You mean it ever went away?

They've never stopped down here, lying on television constantly about the record of our Governor. They really bring out the big guns when it comes to Presidential candidates.

Considering all he cost them, Jim Jeffords must have a totally impeccable record or they would have paid him back for his sins long ago.

3. So much for...

False Witness. Good Christians one and all.

When do they put the 10 Commandments monument up and worship it?
