More Democratic Name Calling
I am really sick and tired of the Democrats getting away with calling Republicans Nazis, racists, and the like.
Now one of them is comparing Vice President Dick Cheney to Saddam Hussein.
As Cheney prepares to go on a "campaign" trip to drum up support for President Bush's plan for Social Security reform, Senator John Corzine (D-NJ) had this to say:
"He's certainly not being sent on the road to convince Democrats, moderates or Baby Boomers."
Okay, so far so good...just the usual political pandering. Then, apparently:
In a conference call with reporters Monday, Sen. John Corzine, D-NJ, one of the leading opponents of the president's plan, said Cheney had "a virtual career of disdain for Social Security," and compared his appearances to sending Saddam Hussein to campaign for democracy in Iraq.
What is it about the Democrats that they think they can compare Republicans with every two-bit dictator who has roamed the Earth?
Republicans could compare someone like Barbara Boxer to...oh, say Che Guevara. But likely as not, it would be taken as a compliment.
The Right would never get away with calling someone on the Left a Nazi or Saddam Hussein...as well they shouldn't. So why the h*ll do Democrats keep getting a free pass?
