Right Wing Watch - Dinesh D'Souza supports Cindy Sheehan's run

[bryant69]

Take this for what you will, D'Souza (who's latest book is entitled "The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11" to give you an idea of his mentality) has written an article supportive of Cindy Sheehan's run against Nancy Pelosi. http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/DineshDSouza/2007/07/10/run,_cindy_sheehan,_run!

"Now we hear that activist Cindy Sheehan is threatening to challenge Nancy Pelosi for her congressional seat. Sheehan says that if Pelosi doesn't begin impeachment proceedings against Bush very soon, she's going to run. “Democrats and Americans feel betrayed by the Democratic leadership,” Sheehan fumes. “We hired them to bring an end to the war.”

. . . Ordinarily I'd laugh off Cindy Sheehan's threat to take on Pelosi, but Pelosi represents the San Francisco area and there are just enough kooks in that district who might make Sheehan a serious candidate. I'd like to see Sheehan use some of her trademark bile on Pelosi. It's my favorite kind of brawl: the left vs. the far left. Run, Cindy, run!"

He also references the noble run of Ralph Nader in 2000 as an example of the Far Left screwing things up for the Left (his terms).

1. Randi Rhodes had Cindy as a guest during the 2nd hr yesterday. What is

Randi's take on this situation?--anyone.


I listened to first half of show but had to go to work.----so I missed the interview.

[bryant69]

5. I'd be curious about that too.

[Buzz Clik]

2. Anything that potentially splits the Dems would be a good thing for him

[blondeatlast]

3. D'Souza has changed his pants 8 times since her announcement.

Her announcement, sincere as it is, is the RRRepublican machine'swet dream.

4. I Seriously Doubt Ms. Pelosi Is In Trouble Back Home

eom

[greenman3610]

6. that's right. if Pelosi's not perfect, then I want a fascist republican to win.

gotta love that logic.

[bryant69]

7. I doubt that district will give power to a fascist republican n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. The GOPU Would Probably Run A Moderate Republican In The District

eom

[bryant69]

23. You're probably right.

9. I find that calling people in S.F. and her district kooks very obnoxious..

[mitchum]

10. Gunga Dim has a talent for this...remember HE was the first one...

who brought up the notion that the 9/11 hijackers were not cowards on that notorious episode of "Politically Incorrect" Maher then took the bait and as a result ABC canceled the show.
He's an insidious little bastard.

11. That Was A Dumb Episode In American Life

Whatever the "evildoers" are they aren't cowards...

[BlooInBloo]

12. Anything to break the deathgrip of "the party of slavery".

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. You're Upset Because You Don't Own One

SARCASM

[BlooInBloo]

16. heh!

[bryant69]

14. Really? n/t

[BlooInBloo]

15. According to Sheehan.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. I Like The "Dems=War Starters" Meme

Bob Dole used that chestnut on Walter Mondale in the 1976 vice presidential elections...

I have no personal animus toward Ms. Sheehan and appreciate the enormity of loss but she has pretty much turned into a caricature of herself now...

[brentspeak]

18. No surprise. There's already plenty of D'Souza types on DU, stirring up trouble on behalf of Sheehan

[bryant69]

19. You mean people who are frusterated at the laid back approach our

Congress seems to be taking towards resisting the Bush Presidency?

Bryant

[BlooInBloo]

20. Yah - the ones who call us "the party of slavery" - those people.

[bryant69]

22. OK calling us the party of Slavery is clearly over the top.

I'm not going to deny that; on the other hand we need to grapple with why such arguments seem to make sense to a certain percent of our membership, and by extension the liberals in America.

21. Somebody From Our Board Is Running Against Speaker Pelosi

Who

[Warren DeMontague]

24. Point One: Don't get too excited, Dinesh. Pelosi's seat is safe. Point Two: WHY isn't it okay to ask

what motivates "them" to hate us if we're talking about, say, support for autocratic regimes or exploitation of natural resources (i.e. oil) ... but it's okay for Dinesh D'Souza to rail against porn, pot smoking, equal rights for gays and other "cultural degeneracy" as the reason "they" hate us?

Hey D'Souza- we need MORE porn, more pot-smokin' hippies, more equal rights for gays, more naked breasts on satellite TV.... to drive the mullahs and repressed fundy nutjobs up the wall. If not, the terrorists WIN!

[getmeouttahere]

25. Yes, it's a good idea to remind everyone....

that the amerkin fundies and radical muslims are of the same mind-set, an unholy alliance if you will. I'm definitely up for driving them all nuts!

[Marrah_G]

26. Hey I think that guy posts here !!!

[Emit]

27. Well, I wouldn't exactly call that "support." n/t
