If the White House is to be believed, the majority of Americans are now in the "extreme liberal wing of the Democratic Party." Heh.
As usual, the White House responds to criticism with mafia-like efforts to swiftboat the messenger. In the latest battle, the Bushies hoped to discredit former Marine colonel, Rep. John Murtha by charging that he is in the Michael Moore camp.
The always-sick Rovian tactics have finally become so absurd that they serve as yet more nails in the Republican coffin.
CBS News:
"Our troops have become the primary target of the insurgency. They are united against U.S. forces and we have become a catalyst for violence. The war in Iraq is not going as advertised. It is a flawed policy wrapped in illusion.
Our military has accomplished its mission and done its duty. It's time to bring them home."Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa)
"It is baffling that [Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa)] is endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the extreme liberal wing of the Democratic Party."Scott McClellan, White House
With Bush's poll numbers in the 30's and 52% of the public saying that we should get out of Iraq fast, the White House is effectively admitting that the majority of Americans are in the Michael Moore camp.
Michael Moore responds:
Dear Mr. Bush:
I would like to extend my hand and invite you to join us, the mainstream American majority. We, the people -- that's the majority of the people -- share these majority opinions:
1. Going to war was a mistake -- a big mistake.
2. You and your administration misled us into this war.
3. We want the war ended and our troops brought home.
4. We don't trust you. . . .
But hey, why not cut out the name-calling and the smearing and just do the obvious thing: Come join the majority! Be one of us, your fellow Americans! Is it really that hard? Is there really any other choice? George, take a walk on the wild side!
Your loyal representative from the majority,
Michael Moore
