Proof that the Left hates Bush more than the Right hated Clinton (#37):

“America, under Bush, is a danger to the world,” Soros said. Then he smiled: “And I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is.”

Soros believes a “supremacist ideology” guides this White House. He hears echoes in its rhetoric of his childhood in occupied Hungary. “When I hear Bush say, ‘You’re either with us or against us,’ it reminds me of the Germans.” It conjures up memories, he said, of Nazi slogans on the walls, Der Feind Hort mit (“The enemy is listening”): “My experiences under Nazi and Soviet rule have sensitized me,” he said in a soft Hungarian accent.


Does the Left ever think that the equating of a sitting president to the most fiendish mass-murderer (with the exception of Stalin) of all time may backfire on them? Let's hash this out for a second. The historic base of the Democratic Party has been, minorities (in particular Blacks), unions, Catholics, and Jews. I think in the privacy of the voting booth, union members vote what they feel not what they've been told to. I also think that the minority vote is not quite the given it once was. Blacks are not the most prevalent minority anymore, Hispanics are. The Hispanic vote is not a given, as we witnessed by the crashing of Bustamante in California. The Catholic vote is still pretty solidly in the Dem camp, but the opposition to the partial-birth abortion ban could sway some of that bloc.

That leaves the Jewish vote. The Jews have watched the Democratic Party, which once was the only party they'd vote for, turn on them. Not the Zell Miller types, but the more liberal ones. The Left is so anti-Israel that they seethe at any reference to Sharon or building a security wall. They support the "Palestinian Cause" which targets children on a regular basis. Does the left really think that the Jewish vote will be with them as before given they are equating POTUS with Hitler and supporting Arafat? I think not.
