Begala: "Democrats Should Attack Bush, Not MoveOn-Mr. Bush is a coward and a bully"

Democrats Should Attack Bush, Not MoveOn
Posted September 20, 2007


Before a single Democrat condemns MoveOn's ad, they should insist that George W. Bush and the Republican Party repudiate the anti-military smears on war heroes that have been the hallmark of Mr. Bush's political career.


Too many Democrats still think Mr. Bush's presidency is on the level. Let's be clear. Mr. Bush is not leading a serious, sober discussion about public discourse during a war. He wants to divide progressives and score political points. We should not let him. Throughout his career he's been willing to tolerate and benefit from vicious lies about military men. We should not concede that he is legitimately angry now.

.........

Mr. Bush is a coward and a bully. He knows he'll never be the kind of hero his father was. He knows he lacks the heroism of John Kerry or Max Cleland, so he overcompensates with bluster and bravado. In fact, he told bloggers recently that he wishes he were fighting in Iraq. The Washington Post's Dan Froomkin reported that Bush told a blogger in Iraq that he'd like to be carrying a 50-pound pack and an M-16, but, "One, I'm too old to be out there. And, two, they'd notice me."


So Mr. Bush is too old to fight in Iraq, and he was too rich and well-connected to fight in Vietnam. But he's itchin' for a fight with a progressive interest group. Does anyone believe he'd have the same outrage if a right-wing group were attacking war heroes? Of course not.

used to say he really liked Bush, but he didn't like some of his policies? So the ass kisser is changing his stripes a day late and and election short.

thanks a lot, Paulie. a lot of good you and your pal Jimmy have done lately, not.

It's so transparent.

you never know what'll come out of Begala's mouth. Yeah, Bush was a good guy, his friend even. Tucker Carlson was a good guy. Ari Fleischer was a good guy. The guys Dean managed to put on the ground in under-represented states before the last election were however, "nosepickers." He's just another near worthless beltway hack.

As are so many nowadays....

coward & bully

Republican.

Begala, OTOH, told a stupid anecdote about Carville's driving a speeding car with his kid inside.

Thanks, Paul.

this story ALL about MoveOn, rather than focusing on the substance of the story, doing the bidding of the fascist party once again.

give Begala credit for trying to put the onus on the warmongers, rather than those who bring attention to the massive construct of lies necessary to keep this illegal war going on forever

We've always been at war with Iraq
