These people have some nerve, especially given the following:
Quote:
A Democrat Congressman says the Bush administration is taking America "into a snake pit of fascism."
Getting former astronaut and Democrat Senator John Glenn to trot out the Hitler comparison.
Three liberal protestors tried to disrupt Bush's convention speech (funny, I didn't see any conservatives trying to disrupt Kerry's speech to the DNC convention).
A featured speaker at a NOW rally says Bush "savagely raped " women "over and over."
Zillionaires like George Soros trying to buy the election for Kerry through the 527 loophole, of which Democrats have made far greater use than the GOP.
Unions using members' dues to fund political activities that almost uniformly support Democrats.
When a state police union bucks the tide by considering supporting Bush, Democrat legislators threaten retaliation.
Democrat operatives working overtime to keep Ralph Nader off the ballot, thus besmirching the very name of their party.
The Democrat's media allies planning a 60 Minutes smear of Bush's National Guard service.
Kitty Kelley's book smearing Bush that will be released as a last-minute October surprise.
Michael Moore's fantasies turned into a feature-length campaign ad.
Bruce Springsteen getting around campaign finance laws by organizing an anti-Bush concert.
Free advertising for the left at nearly every Hollywood awards show where one or more acceptance speechs attack Bush.
The incredible media bias towards Democrats, which Newsweek editor Evan Thomas says is worth "maybe 15 points" for Kerry.
