Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) slammed Fox News host Glenn Beck's planned rally in the nation's capital this weekend as "blatantly political."

The head of Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee also predicted that "outrageous rhetoric on the right" will prove a turnoff to swing voters this fall.

"Let's call it what it is," Van Hollen said of the rally during an appearance at the National Press Club Friday. "It's a blatant political effort."

The Democratic campaign chief said for the past 15 months, Beck and other conservative talk hosts have offered nothing more than "a constant tirade against the president, against Democratic efforts to get the economy turned around."

1. More like this, please

Gee, a Democratic elected official and campaign operative who is taking on the real adversaries instead of punching the hippies. I like that very much. There is indeed "outrageous rhetoric on the right," and it helps a great deal to hear this from Democratic insiders, instead of just the usual suspects who can be summarily (if not airily) dismissed by the Villagers.

2. WOW! I wonder where he got THAT idea! I wonder if he can convince the

Administration that they should start talking back to the GOPers, too!
Wow! We might actually win this election if that would happen!

Mr. Obama, listen up!

(No more republicans in congress, OK?)
