Sensenbrenner attacks Howard Dean (calls him "delusional")

[wicket]

This is the guy who shut down the Patriot Act hearings this morning, pathetic! Who the hell is this guy to be lecturing those on respectful political debate after the stunt he pulled this morning??

http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=48545

Dear Dr. Dean:

I was extremely disappointed to hear of your latest outrageous political assault this morning on The Today Show. You accused me by name of "attacking immigrants" and having "incredible anti- immigrant legislation," an apparent reference to the REAL ID legislation that enjoyed strong bipartisan support in the House and Senate as well as by the Bush Administration. By implication, the 42 House Democrats who voted for the REAL ID Act and Senate Democrats like Senator Byrd who proved invaluable in moving this antiterrorism legislation through the Senate are also guilty of "attacking immigrants."

The REAL ID legislation was in response to the 9/11 Commission's work and recommendations regarding securing our borders and improving identity document standards. Are 9/11 Commission members also guilty of attacking immigrants? Are the overwhelming majority of law-abiding Americans who want us to get some control of our porous borders also guilty of attacking immigrants?

In recent days, your delusional outbursts have forced senior members of your own party to distance themselves from your comments. While I agree with your acknowledgment that you're "not very dignified," I sincerely hope you refrain from further personal attacks. These attacks are contrary to the passionate - but respectful - political debate the public deserves.

Sincerely,

F. JAMES SENSENBRENNER, JR

Chairman

1. Oh, cry me a river. Go home to momma Jimmy boy

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

2. This man needs to be returned...

To the private sector. He is the most dangerous Wisconsonian since Tailgunner Joe.

[gratuitous]

3. Kitchen getting a bit hot, Mr. Senselessbrenner?

Maybe you should get out, then.

[shraby]

6. A hypocrit of the first order.

I'll give him an A+ in that department.

[killbotfactory]

4. baby need a nap?

since when is criticizing legislation a "personal attack"?

[dogday]

5. Wanting To Make A Name For Yourself -NoSensenbrenner

Trying to make a name for himself. This is talking points, whatever Dean does and says, the Republicans and MSM will be all over his ass. Bring up The Downing Street Minutes Howard-Say we want to Impeach Bush.... Let them talk about that for a while....

[Gabi Hayes]

32. how about.....NonSensenbrenner?

[Sparkly]

43. SenselessSpinner? n/t

[DesEtoiles]

7. I say keep attacking. They're pissed off and we are getting to them.

[gratuitous]

16. I believe your analysis is correct

The louder they squawk, the more direct the hit. I don't want to say anything bad about Terry McAuliffe (his strengths ran in a different direction), but when was the last time you heard so much about the chairman of the DNC in a non-election year? Getting the message out has a value and a worth all its own. Go Howard, Go!

[acmejack]

8. Once a demagogue, always a mealy mouthed weasel

And sincerely? The man doesn't have a sincere bone in his body.

[dweller]

9. hey, Senselessbrenner....

go %#Cheney*! yourself.

dp

[LightningFlash]

28. Cheney was out of town.

[sinkingfeeling]

10. And was Sensebrenner 'respectful' of the debate the public

deserved when he shut down the committee hearings this morning?

[Ikonoklast]

11. But , but, but, you you said

those mean mean things!! You.....you are a doody-head! I'm tellin'!! I can't believe these Retardlicans/idiots. One direct hit from Howard and they are all running like hell.....wait a minute, they're all chickenhawks, anyway. Nevermind.

[denverbill]

12. Republicans want a 'respectful' political debate?

Jesus, when the fuck did THAT happen?

Last thing I remember they were calling all Democrats traitors.

[Blue_In_AK]

13. What a crybaby...

Dr. Dean must be doing something right. These guys obviously aren't accustomed to hearing the truth.

[DoYouEverWonder]

14. I love the smell of Repugs

freaking out in the morning.

[Todd B]

15. Boy, won't he be disappointed!

Boy, won't Mr. Sensenbrenner be disappointed to learn that since the so-called "delusional outbursts", Gov. Dean has had a flood of support from average Americans which has resulted in over $20,000 (plus) worth of donations.

Such a shame, isn't it? :)

[Rex]

17. F. JAMES SENSENBRENNER, JR. = FASCIST ASSHOLE

I don't like you, I'm taking my toys and going home! :eyes:

[firefox]

18. Well, that's a start - nt

[Pithy Cherub]

19. Irony Alert: defcon 2

Nonsensenbrenner is a hypocrite in need of deprogramming. Dr. Dean is medically qualified to refer him to the appropriately needed medical facility with soothing voices and IV drips of prozac. Sensenbrenner's irony immune system needs adjustment... :rofl:

[reality based]

20. Yeah, when you're standing in a long, slow line for a driver's license

with your four documents of identification, remember this guy is responsible for the Real ID law, and was an impeachment manager as well.

[PassingFair]

21. Wow, he talks just like an elected

Dem Senator!

Where's the old quote where Dean rightfully characterizes the senate as bugs that will scurry from the light of day?

[progressivebydesign]

22. Dear Ed Gillespie and Ken Mehlmann:

I find your outrageous accusations and insults about Democrats very disturbing. I have heard your inflammatory comments for years about the Democrats, and feel it's time to write. If the media had actually reported the things you have said and one in the same breathless fashion in which they have villified Howard Dean, then I'm certain more than 3 people would also be outraged.

Fuck you and your minions very much,

ProgressiveByDesign

p.s. Your pal Sensebrenner seems a bit... well.. kinda stressed.

[cornermouse]

23. He could be trying to draw fire and attention.

I wonder if something's going on elsewhere. This attack on Dean seems a little excessive or overdone.

[wicket]

24. interesting

Hadn't thought of that but it would be interesting to find out!

[LightningFlash]

33. DeLay tactics.

[LightningFlash]

45. VVPB is being mandated all through wisconsin. Sensenbrenner will be out.

[DemonFighterLives]

25. From a professional delusional puke

This really mean something. Dean must stop now! :sarcasm:

I think he ought to check his porous head.
:grr:

[LightningFlash]

26. Ahhh Sensenbrenner, seems like you should follow your own advice.....

Your latest law would force people to turn eachother's neighbors in, no matter what, if they were doing drugs. Also, your pseudo-fascist christian values are exactly what Dean was pointing to.

The truth hurts, doesn't it? Can you still come back to sanity sensenbrenner, and abandon this insane religious-right belief system?

Are you as beyond hope as Senator Bill Frist?

Because in the first place, NO CHRISTIAN IN THEIR RIGHT MIND, follows an extreme agenda that requires all to lock step in line....

And in the second place, to talk of public political discourse, YOU JUST SHUT DOWN A PUBLIC HEARING OF OPEN FREE SPEECH, and in effect of that, decided no more hearings should be held. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

You are afraid of Howard Dean? Get in line. The truth stings badly, and it will set us all free........

Keep it up Dean!!! :thumbsup:

[FreedomAngel82]

27. You can't handle the truth!

[Guaranteed]

29. Alright, Doc. Hit him back. Hard. nt

31. This MFr is a 1st class Nazi... He stopped Dem hearing re testimonials

if people who had been imprisoned under the patriot act for no apparent reason other than alleged terrorist, with allegations that turned out not to be true, whose releases were won. C Span was so confused when they were ordered to turn off microphones...it was pitiful! He is a disgusting excuse for a human!

[Eloriel]

34. This letter is an object lesson.

With two parts:

1. What havoc Dems wreak when they vote the wrong way on extremist legislation, legislation often designed to open up those wedges or trap us in other ways, perhaps:

Dear Dr. Dean:

I was extremely disappointed to hear of your latest outrageous political assault this morning on The Today Show. You accused me by name of "attacking immigrants" and having "incredible anti- immigrant legislation," an apparent reference to the REAL ID legislation that enjoyed strong bipartisan support in the House and Senate as well as by the Bush Administration. By implication, the 42 House Democrats who voted for the REAL ID Act and Senate Democrats like Senator Byrd who proved invaluable in moving this antiterrorism legislation through the Senate are also guilty of "attacking immigrants."

Well, maybe they are indeed!


2. Not sticking together or sticking up for one another can carry a very steep long-term price.

In recent days, your DELUSIONAL outbursts have forced senior members of your own party to distance themselves from your comments. While I agree with your acknowledgment that you're "not very dignified," I sincerely hope you refrain from further personal attacks. These attacks are contrary to the passionate - but respectful - political debate the public deserves.


That letter is so bad it's actually abusive. He dumped all over Dean, and had a lot of Democratic support in the form of stupid votes and stupid non-unity.

We've got a LOT of housecleaning to do, folks.

[Guaranteed]

40. Yup. That's the lesson to be learned.

Yet the DLC whores seem to just refuse to learn it.

[Jose Diablo]

35. Is there some way the Governor of a state can

recall a representative, or maybe have a recall vote.

You know, I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside when I realize the main result of the 9-11 investigation was the Real ID Act. I wonder how this came about.

I have heard that the hijackers on 9-11 actually were here with valid visa's, the 15 Saudi's having obtained theirs from the American Embassy in Saudi Arabia using a 'expedited' process set-up by the state department. So why the need for Real ID?

Strange how a republican packed commission would come-up with the Real ID Act as a solution to a state department screw-up in dealing with foriegn nationals.

Edit: I think I figured it out. The republicans are not fearful of foriegn nationals, they are fearful of American citizens, thus they think there is a need for 'internal passports'.

[LightningFlash]

36. Didn't you hear about Jeb's flight school?

If they were trained in the U.S.A, why in the world would any ID act be needed?

[Jose Diablo]

37. Thats what I mean

I keep getting a disconnect when I try to figure out how forcing American citizens to obtain an 'internal passport' will have any effect whatsoever on a state department screw-up in allowing 'expedited' processing of visa's from a country with known enemies of the USA walking freely about. Real ID is not gonna stop anybody, it just makes it easier for government intrusion on Americans.

This guy Sensewhatever, who elected this dope?

[LightningFlash]

38. Wisconsin's Diebold machines did. He's head of WI.

[Jose Diablo]

39. That explains it then

The guy wasn't elected, Wally got him in.

[Sparkly]

41. "Respectful political debate"?!?!?

Coming from this Fascist Asshat?!? :wtf:

[seabeyond]

42. dean cant call them white christians, but they can call him delusional

isnt that funny. in all his delusion he called this guy a white christian

[wicket]

44. kick

:kick:

[CTLawGuy]

46. I like that guy's name

It conveys a sentiment I agree with:

F. James Sensenbrenner!
