Lying Liberal Media
As an experiment, I wondered how the lying liberal media would have reacted if Republicans were to use their opponents’ rhetoric against them.
Actual Quote from Ted Kennedy: “This [Iraq war] was a fraud.”
Hypothetical Quote from, say, Senator Mitch McConnell: “Ted Kennedy is a fraud.”
Actual Quote from Howard Dean: “John Ashcroft is not a patriot.”
Hypothetical Quote from John Ashcroft: “Howard Dean is not a patriot.”
Actual Quote from John Kerry: “We have a fraudulent coalition, and I use the word fraud.”
Hypothetical Quote from GWB: “John Kerry’s vote authorizing the Iraq war was a fraud, and I use the word fraud.”
Actual Quote from Weasel Clark: “In 2000 the Repubs stole the election - now they’re trying to steal Patriotism.”
Hypothetical Quote from GWB: “In 1975 the Dems cut and ran from Vietnam - now they’re trying to cut and run from Iraq.”
Actual Quote from Dick Gephardt: “[Bush has] declared war on the American people.”
Hypothetical Quote from GWB: “Gephardt has declared war on the American people.”
Can you can imagine the outraged shrieks from the lying liberal media if Republicans had said those things? When Democrats say them, there isn’t even a whimper.
