“The Democratic candidates continued their patter of political hate speech. These kinds of harsh, bitter personal attacks are unprecedented in the history of presidential politics.”
Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie, quoted by ABC News, Sept. 10, well in advance of “Talk Like a Pirate Day.”
Ed Gillespie says his blood starts boilin’ when he hears Dick Gephardt call Bush “a miserable failure.”
“Shiver me timbers, Dick Gephardt!” thinks Ed Gillespie. “That’s way out o’ bounds in presidential politics. Can ye’ picture Republicans spewin’ such scurvy charges against Bill Clinton?”
Meanwhile, “liberals”* at the DNC posted a
pile of Republican abuse goin’ all the way back to the first Bush and Willie Horton. But the DNC (just like Mr. Gillespie) can’t recall one cross word anyone aimed at Bill or Hillary Clinton.**
Arrrr, ye blisterin’ bunghole “Democrats”! Do ye think yer pretendin’ ye never knew Bill Clinton will win ye one vote from the “We-hate-Clinton” brigade? ‘Tis the same fool strategy Al Gore tried–remember?
Arrrr, the whole lot o’ those National Committees be scurvy dogs. Run up Jolly Roger, boys–let ’em walk the plank!
* “Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of America’s self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant. Fifty years of treason hasn’t slowed them down.”
Ann Coulter, enthusiastically quoted by the Conservative Book Service website.
** Googling “Hitlery + Clinton” turns up 3030 pages of courteous political deep thought. I admit I’m still wondering about the apparent contradiction between being a lesbian and having sex with Vince Foster (before she murdered him, of course). And how did they persuade the former First Lady to pose for so many different obscene photos?
Good news for Ed Gillespie!
