| Liberal Base Wild About Harry | |
| 2005-11-02 | |
(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Harry Reid's decision to force the Senate into a secret session has infuriated Republicans, but it has rallied the party's liberal base. Democrat websites are making it easy for liberals to send thank-you notes to Senate Minority Leader Reid, who forced the Senate into closed session on Tuesday to discuss the alleged manipulation of pre-war intelligence on Iraq. The Democratic National Committee urged visitors to its website to "make a special donation" to the party - then "send a note of thanks to Harry Reid asking him to keep up the fight.""

| #11 I was talking to my dear old mother the other night (the one who spent the war in hiding from the Nazis, except when she was running messages for the Dutch Underground). She told me that nowadays she doesn't believe anything she reads or sees on the television or in the newspapers. Rather, she gets all her news from me, and I get it from Rantburg. And my parents used to read the local paper all week, and the New York Times on Sunday. Newspaper circulation figures are continuing to fall, and apparently as a result advertising prices are being renegotiated downwards. The journalists are talking to the mirror, their audience has left and they haven't noticed, poor loudmouthed darlings. |

| #10 Nothing was accomplished, of course, which is partly why they're so happy. Now that, that was cold. |

| #9 Well it ain't funny. These folks don't care about nothing other than getting back in power, and the easiest way to do that is to turn the American public against the war. It worked in the late 60s and their idea folks (yeah - believe it or not they do have idea folks) came of age during that time. So they'll pound home a theme 1)Iraq is its own separate war; 2) started only because of a made-up fear of WMD; 3) the war created millions of suicidal, drooling, deranged radicals out of peaceful sand farmers; 4)it's all the fault of W and his henchmen; and 5) the only solution is an apology, withdrawal, and meditation about our collective guilt. But don't misunderstand these folks, they do support our troops. |

| #7 After having surfed Atrios, Kos and Washington Mnothly last night, I can tell you that the DU isn't alone: moonbats throughout the far left blogosphere are enthusiastic about this. Nothing was accomplished, of course, which is partly why they're so happy. |

| #6 Symbolism over Substance - I know it's Rush's take on the libs, I can't take credit, but how accurate is it. Proof again that the state of the Democratic Party is in a tailspin. They don't have anything to offer but obstructionism. They've all gotten to office on the abortion vote - that's it. No ideas, but keeping abortion legal. If I were Reid I'd hide too. When exposed to light you've shown the Democratic party to be empty. |

| #4 ..who forced the Senate into closed session on Tuesday to discuss the alleged manipulation of pre-war intelligence on Iraq. So instead of the alleged outing of a "covert agent" being the big deal, now it's "manipulation of pre-war intelligence"? Talk about grasping for straws.... |
