Gangsters

There's no moral equivalent on the Democratic side for such coordinated Republican thuggery as was initiated by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)'s office against the child who spoke in opposition to Mr. Bush on the SCHIP bill and the child's family.

There's is no Democratic response organ like it's very own TV network filled with willing executioners like Malkin who consider the homes of such citizens as fair targets for their minions. Per Paul Krugman:

All in all, the Graeme Frost case is a perfect illustration of the modern right-wing political machine at work, and in particular its routine reliance on character assassination in place of honest debate. If service members oppose a Republican war, they’re “phony soldiers”; if Michael J. Fox opposes Bush policy on stem cells, he’s faking his Parkinson’s symptoms; if an injured 12-year-old child makes the case for a government health insurance program, he’s a fraud.

Meanwhile, leading conservative politicians, far from trying to distance themselves from these smears, rush to embrace them. And some people in the news media are still willing to be used as patsies.

These gangsters also like to rough up companies that won't play along with their extra-Constitutional ball and reach down from the White House itself to manipulate justice in order to win an election in Alabama.

Maybe I'd feel better about it all if I were perfect.
