Pandering, Yes, and Proud of It! Email Print

Yesterday afternoon, we were alerted via the Drudge Report to the latest GOP "Democrats are traitors and surrender monkeys" attack, aka the "White Flag" campaign:

The DRUDGE REPORT has learned from a top GOP operative that the Republican National Committee will provide state parties with a web video prior to release tomorrow afternoon that shows a white flag waving over images of Democrat leaders making anti-war remarks.

Nothing surprising here, I grant you. Just the "unpatriotic, cowardly" smear we've all come to know and love. But something struck me in a quote from this story:

A Democratic strategist who had the web ad described to her said, "This is way over the top but we have no one to blame but Dean, Kerry and others who continue to pander to the anti-war activists within our party."

And if you believe a "Democratic strategist" said that, I've got a bridge to sell you. This is pure GOP talking point material. And I have a proposal.

Wait... There's more! (9 comments, 617 words in story)
