I laughed when I read this. From Yahoo! News:
The US media needs a modern-day "Deep Throat" within the administration of President George W. Bush to reveal how America was "misled" on Iraq, former presidential contender George McGovern said. ...
"I wish there were somebody of the Deep Throat time in this administration who are aware of what's going on," McGovern told Fox News Radio. ...
McGovern said Nixon was undoubtedly "tricky," but said of Bush: "This man claims to be Christian, following the will of God, and then he misleads the whole nation on a totally fraudulent enterprise in Iraq that we should have never been attached to."
So we have another Democrat wishing to see the demise of President Bush; no suprises here (the "misled" term is right in line with Senator Ted Kennedy calling President Bush a "liar" about Iraq). My question is this: Do Dems embrace these comments? I want to know if the Democrats are really supporting individuals that call the President a "liar", that he "misled" us, that call the President a "loser", that mock others in the Republican party (such as Dean mocking Limbaugh's drug dependency). The list goes on and on. Rather than attempt to entice open, honest, and intellectually stimulating debate, the Democratic party leadership simply resorts to attacking the President's plans (rather than come up with new ideas) and stimulating the myths.
My biggest issue with McGovern's comments is that he resorted to attacking the President personally by questioning his religious beliefs. I think it is absolutely unjustfied for anybody to be attacked personally. Does McGovern still wonder why South Dakota voted against him when he ran for president? I think the answer is obvious: he's still out of touch with South Dakotans.
