The Real Reason
Congresspersons Pelosi and Rangel came out and bashed Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez this week, not out of respect for President Bush, but to cover themselves. It's good politics.
When a crazed America hater echos the same commentary of America's political left it makes people stop and say, "hey... there might not be that much difference...."

Okay, write this date down, I am going to leap to the defense of Reps. Pelosi and Rangel. (September 24,2006, it was sunny out, a Sunday as I recall...)
Contra the cartoon, I find it appropriate that opposition party members criticize the president, yet find it admirable that they objected to Chavez's rhetoric. Try agreeing with your friend when he is running down his wife or sister.
I say bravo to Ms. Pelosi (sept 24) and was especially touched by the eloquence of "Old Chollie" with whom I can barely agree on the color of the sky. "You don't come into my Congressional District and insult my President." That's good stuff, baby. Good politics, yeah, but good stuff.
I'll save my disapprobation for Senator Harkin who didn't quite grasp the difference between an American citizen's criticism of a president he/she had the opportunity to vote for or against, and a foreign leader.
Lest the love fest get out of control, “Old Chollie,” who would Chair the Ways and Means committee in a Democratic 110th, has promised that he would roll back ALL the Bush tax cuts. Child credits, lowering the bottom rate from 15 to 10%, cap gains, dividends, they all gotta go.
Sure was great what he said about the president, though.

Posted by: jk at September 24, 2006 3:54 PMYes, the loyal opposition should criticize the president's POLICIES whenever they'd like. When it comes to personal ad hominems, however, there is no difference between those of Hugo Chavez or Howard Dean. When Hugo Chavez does it we fairly conclude that he hates America. What do we conclude when Dean does it? That he opposes tax cuts and prescription drug benefits?
