President Bush: "Democrats are Traitors"

Well, near enough.

""However they put it, the Democrat approach in Iraq comes down to this: The terrorists win and America loses," Bush told a raucous crowd of about 5,000 GOP partisans packed in an arena at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, one of his stops Monday. "That's what's at stake in this election. The Democrat goal is to get out of Iraq. The Republican goal is to win in Iraq.""

Now, it's been blatant in the screeds from the folks like Limbaugh, Hannity, pretty much the entirety of Right Blogistan, etc, that they consider all liberals/Democrats/Not Them one step above traitors, at best. But this is the President, even if he doesn't deserve to be. He's the head of the Republican Party. And he's saying this in campaign speeches now. And one of his former speechwriters has written whack-job screed called "Friends, neighbors, and countrymen of the Left: I hate your lying guts."

Of course, in his column, he talks about people "singing the praises of Central American Dictators," and I think he's referring to Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. Which is in...err... South America. What kind of speeches did he used to write? Oh. "PAUL BURGESS of Spotsylvania County was director of foreign-policy speechwriting at the White House from October 2003 to July 2005." Sigh. Republicans, your leaders are a disgrace. Plz boot, kthx?
