Democrats Demand Rove, Rumsfeld Resign

Eager to change the subject of Senator Durtbag Durbin's act of throwing gasoline on the flames of anti-American hatred around the world, Democrats as usual are stooping to pluck at any straw if they think they can make hay (what a metaphor!)

So when Karl Rove said the following, Democrats pounced:

"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."

Did these remarks incite violence or hated by Islamo-fascists? No... only outrage by Democrats who apparently are willing to concede they are all liberals (they're still denying that the foundation of their liberal beliefs is socialism, but that's another story).

Hillary Clinton was out front demanding Karl Rove's apology or resignation. She also insisted that New York Governor George Pataki repudiate the remarks. Pataki was present at the New York Conservative Party dinner where Rove spoke.

Apparently, Pataki isn't in the mood to placate Madame Hillary and he had this to say:

From Newsmax: I think it's a little hypocritical for Sen. Clinton to call on me to repudiate a political figure's comment, when she never asked Sen. Durbin to repudiate his comments. She never responded when asked to respond [about Durbin]. She never responded to Howard Dean's insult to every single Republican, saying that they never earned an honest day's living. She never responded to Senator Reid's unfair criticism of the president - he called the president a loser and a liar. He's never apologized - she never requested that. She never called for an apology or clarification when Moveon.org called for moderation and restraint in response to the terrorist attacks. Senator Clinton might think about her propensity to allow outrageous statements from the other side that are far beyond political dialogue - insulting every Republican, comparing our soldiers to Nazis or Soviet gulag guards - and never protesting when she serves with them." Pataki concluded: "So, when she does that, I'll be glad to listen to her call for me to ask someone to apologize."

WHACK! Way to go George... I didn't know you had it in you!

Hugh Hewitt had this interesting observation:

The Senate Democrats' #2 compares the American military to Nazis, Stalinists, and Pol Pot's killer, and the story never gets near to the cover of the Washington Post. Karl Rove makes a valid assertion about the behavior of liberals, backed by evidence, and the fake outrage of those Senate Democrats makes page 1, but in a story without the pointed reply of George Pataki which happens to pivot on Durbin's slander. At least the New York Times included a portion of the Pataki quote, which has now vanished from the original Newsday article.

Can you say MEDIA BIAS?

Now, on to Rumsfeld:

You would have thought that Senator Kennedy might have been chastened by his remarks the week before the incredible Iraqi election that "we are losing the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people." But the outpouring of eight million people risking death, dancing in the streets with purple stained fingers didn't make a dent in the Senator's determination to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

On Wednesday, good ole Teddy was at it again. This time blaming Defense Secretary Rumsfeld for every bad thing that's happend in Iraq (I'm surprised he didn't blame the weather on the Defense Secretary). At the end of Kennedy's hysterical tirade he said:

I'm talking about misjudgments, gross errors and mistakes. Those are on your watch. Isn't it time for you to resign?"

Well let's mull that over shall we? If the Senator demands a resignation because of "misjudments, gross errors and mistakes" which happened on "your watch" consider the following:

On July 18 1969 Senator Kennedy and six of his buddies attended a party without their wives with six single young women in Chappaquidick, Massachusetts. Later that evening, Senator Kennedy was apparently giving one of the women, Mary Jo Kopechne, a ride back to her hotel when the car went off a bridge. Kopechne died under circumstances that are unclear to this day. Kennedy failed to report the accident and was later given a slap on the wrist.

So when Senator Kennedy wants to tell us what really happend that night, and take resposibility for his actions, maybe we'll listen to his complaints about Rumsfeld.

Democrats Show No Accountability, No Responsibility, No Shame and No Class!
