I am becoming increasingly dismayed with the tone of the Democratic primary campaign. Charges of racism are being hurled. Charges of corruption are being hurled. And the insults flying back and forth on DKos between supporters of the various Democratic candidates have been sickening and depressing. Well, I don't think I'm alone among the 147,000+ members of the site in saying: ENOUGH! Have we forgotten who our political enemies really are? A little reminder from a pissed off Yosef.
- Our enemy is Mike Huckabee saying that we have to get the U.S. Constitution in line with "God's will" (that will presumably being ascertained by Huckabee himself) and who defends the banner of racism and treason, the so-called "Confederate battle flag". Huckabee's connections with the Dominionist and Christian Reconstruction radicals are frightening, as are his associations with racist groups.
- Our enemy is Mitt Romney who calls for a doubling of Guantanamo. Romney is also the Prince of the Leveraged Buyout, a man who was wantonly destroyed American jobs left and right. He's also the phoniest, most two-faced son of a bitch on the planet.
- Our enemy is John McCain who promises to keep us in Iraq for "10,000 years" if necessary and who has now become an obedient apostle of supply side economics. McCain has also folded on his opposition to torture, meekly getting in line with Bush's war criminals on the issue, despite his rhetoric to the contrary.
- Our enemy is Rudy Giuliani, who is as close to an outright Fascist as anyone who has ever contested a major party nomination.
- Our enemies are Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, Drudge, Gibson, Malkin, O' Reilly and all the other right-wing scum that have been calling us traitors for daring to oppose the Boy King's atrocities. Our enemies are Redstate, Free Republic, and Little Green Footballs, who compete with each other in throwing filth on our faces.
- Our enemies are the neo-confederates, the Neocons, the Radical Religious Right (and its chief goons Robertson and Dobson), the racists, the Chickenhawk war mongers in general, and the Republican "base" which is dragging this country to disaster. OUR ENEMIES ARE NOT EACH OTHER.
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, or John Edwards would be light years ahead anyone the Republicans have. I want our candidates to ATTACK THE REPUBLICANS. I want DKos's loyal progressives to ATTACK THE REPUBLICANS. The level of ugliness on our side of the debate has to stop. I've said it before, I'll say it again: I will go 100% all out for anyone we nominate. Anyone on this site who says otherwise doesn't really belong here.
My enemies are the Republicans. How about you?
