| Mickey Kaus calls Kerry "a terrible candidate" |
| 2004-05-14 |
| "I’ve always thought Kerry was a terrible candidate," [Slate.com Commentator Mickey] Kaus, a Democrat, said in an interview. "I think he is proving that ... now. Democrats are definitely panicking." (from an interview in USA Today, quoted by the Republican National Committee) I think this is more than just a startling outburst of clarity from a notable pop-left propaganda shill. The extreme left; ANSWERist blackshirts, DUpers, Indymedia, Chomskyites, jihad collaborators, ad nauseum; have been gearing up to depose Kerry for some time. Several weeks ago, an article in the moonbat element’s journal of record, the Village Voice, called for an open Democratic convention. DU, which had no compunction about purging Naderists, continues to tolerate other far-left attacks on Kerry ("Bush-lite" etc). The far left’s blackshirt street-thug forces are making elaborate plans to disrupt the Democrat as well as the Republican conventions. As noted many times here, they are whipping themselves into a violent frenzy with increasingly strident and inflammatory rhetoric. The 1968 Chicago convention riots have iconic status with the far left. The 1968 convention’s abject surrender in the face of a violent assault is a lesson not lost on today’s would-be revolutionaries. What is going on here? The extreme leftists apparently believe that it is within their power to replace Kerry with a candidate who will adhere more openly to the pro-jihad totalitarian line, including unconditional surrender in Iraq and Afghanistan, abandonment of Israel, unconditional release of Saddam Hussein, handover of US sovereignty to the UN, Stalin-style kangaroo-court trials for Bush and others, and any number of the other treasonous crackpot demands that actually reflect a significant body of opinion among media and academic elites. Bush has shown weakness by not cracking down on outright treason and by making concessions to PC tactics and hostile media propaganda in fighting the war. The lords of the pop-left are smelling blood and they are likely to see this as their best opportunity in decades, but Kerry is in the way. Needless to say, these are demonic forces and they must be defeated by any means necessary. Someone here is fond of saying "civil war in 10 years." I give it seven weeks. |

| #5 Courts Martials go fast because there are no change of venue motions, ridiculous appeals or lawyers with conflicting court dates - also the jury is all on salary and can be sequestered in any manner of ways. |

| #4 he's saying "moving too fast" because he hasn't yet figured out how to get poll points out of this, although his advisors assure him they're there. Bush's admin is handling this exactly as they should. Let the Dems and Media rant and rave...the timely ocurrence of Berg's video has shown them for the shills they are, willing to lose the WOT, if needed, to defeat the evil Bushitler |

| #3 I watched the interview with Mr. Kerry on Hannity and Colmes last night. Would you believe it? He flipped again. Two weeks ago he was criticizing the Bush Administration for moving too slow on the prisoner abuse issue. Last night he said the Bush Administration was moving way too fast on the Courts Martial of the gaurds. He again made it very clear he intends to base his foreign policy on what Europe will approve of. I hope the Democrats dump him. There has to be someone better out there. This man is not stupid but he acts dumber than a bucket of hair. |

| #1 Mickey Kaus is not a pop-left propaganda shill. He's a neolib who has always had it in for Kerry. Reporting that he wants Kerry off the ticket is rather like reporting that Al Franken disapproves of Fox News - something of a given. |
