Bush Links Democrats To Code Pink/MoveOn.org?
In an article about Hillary’s reaction to Bush’s speech in which he compared the Democrats’ stance on the war on terror to the world ignoring Lenin’s push for communist revolution in Russia, and Hitler’s threats against the world in Germany, CNN also accused the President of “linking” Democrats to Code Pink and MoveOn.org.
In the same speech, Bush also linked Congressional Democrats to the liberal group MoveOn.org and the anti-war group Code Pink.
“When it comes to funding our troops, some in Washington should spend more time responding to the warnings of terrorists like Osama bin Laden and the requests of our commanders on the ground,” Bush said, “and less time responding to the demands of MoveOn.org bloggers and Code Pink protesters.”
The thing is that it isn’t the President who linked the Democrats to Code Pink and MoveOn.org. It’s the Democrats themselves who did that by having daily strategy and coordination meetings with MoveOn and giving Code Pink protesters to government events (like the President’s inauguration and State of the Union speeches) so they can disrupt.
It’s not like the President is casting baseless aspersions at the Democrats. Their links with MoveOn and Code Pink are extensive and well-documented, and there’s nothing wrong with the President pointing those things out. That liberals are apparently embarrassed by that fact is both telling and irrelevant.
