Hypocrisy on Parade

Democrats are attacking President Bush again this week. His offense? Telling the truth about liberals. In a speech to Israel's Parliament, the Knesset, President Bush told the law-makers, "Some seem to believe that we can negotiate with terrorists, and by some ingenious argument, they will be persuaded they were wrong." He pointed out that as German forces began invading Poland in World War II, a United States senator prayed, "Oh God, if only I could have talked to Hitler, I could have talked him out of it." It's typical liberal arrogance that leads one to believe that someone with a special skill and the will to do so, can negotiate with people who are bent on evil, and talk them out of murdering innocent people.

Although the president singled-out no one, Barack Obama chose to be offended, and condemned the president's remarks as "an unprecedented political attack." The trouble is that earlier this year, during one of the Democrat party presidential debates, Obama did say that he would negotiate with terrorists like Iranian President, Ahmadinejab or Syria's President Assad without pre-conditions. There is nothing to be gained and much to be lost, by any United States president negotiating with such militant thugs. Obama was roundly criticized for his reckless and nave remarks. But now, Obama denies that he ever made the statement, and Democrats began defending him by attacking President Bush.

I find it interesting that when the truth is told about Democrat politicians, they call it an attack. But because the mainline media is in bed with the Democrat party, no one calls them to task for maligning President Bush by comparing him to Hitler. No one in the media speaks out against John Kerry who accused our military troops of "killing innocent women and children in the dark of night." The hypocrisy on the left is stupefying.

Now, Delaware Senator Joe Biden has piled on, criticizing the president for making political speeches overseas, saying that "politics stops at the border." Really? President Bush named no one, but simply criticized negotiation with terrorists as reckless and ignorant. But former President Jimmy Carter has been in the middle east and in Europe denouncing President Bush by name. Former President Bill Clinton, and former VP Al Gore, have both berated President Bush and America in Europe. Within weeks after he lost the 2004 election, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry went to Europe to condemn President Bush. No one in the Democrat
