A Trinity of Racists

Howard Dean said Republicans are race-baiting when they question Obama's judgment about his associates when they bring up the fact he sat in the pews of Trinity United Chuch for 20 years. Really, Mr. Dean?! You say the REPUBLICANS are race-baiting for raising questions of judgment on a candidate who happens to be black? Well, let's see what your side had to say in defense of this outrage:

Dole-ing Out the Punches

Bob Dole gave Scott McClellan his two cents on McClellan's opportunistic and traitorous book. McClellan deserves the criticism. If he had a problem with the Bush Administration, it is his duty to speak out or resign. By looking back on this as retrospect makes him highly uncredible. He makes sweeping accusations, but provides no facts to back up his charges. He complains of the politics of old in the preface, but uses the same style politics in the book. Of McClellan, Dole said: "There are miserable creatures like you in every administration who don’t have the guts to speak up or quit if there are disagreements with the boss or colleagues," Dole wrote in a message sent yesterday morning. "No, your type soaks up the benefits of power, revels in the limelight for years, then quits and, spurred on by greed, cashes in with a scathing critique." He went on to say: "In my nearly 36 years of public service I've known of a few like you," Dole writes, recounting his years representing Kansas in the House and Senate. "No doubt you will 'clean up' as the liberal anti-Bush press will promote your belated concerns with wild enthusiasm. When the money starts rolling in you should donate it to a worthy cause, something like, 'Biting The Hand That Fed Me.' Another thought is to weasel your way back into the White House if a Democrat is elected. "That would provide a good set up for a second book deal in a few years" That would have taken integrity and courage but then you would have had credibility and your complaints could have been aired objectively," Dole concludes. "You’re a hot ticket now, but don’t you, deep down, feel like a total ingrate?" Dole is absolutely right. People who complain about things they were a part of after the fact, and doing the exact things they are complaining about later are despicable. He as of last April defended the War in Iraq. He wasn't there for the military ramp-up before the war, so had would he know that the Bush Administration lied for political expediency to go to war? Especially considering the CIA, and most of our allies and the UN Security Council all said that Saddam had WMD's. McClellan is a disgrace. He's either to whimpy to speak for himself and has no courage of his convictions, or is a weasel in it to make a buck. Either way, he deserves no respect from anyone.
