So this guy is speaking at a Forum in NY, and:
Quote:
An LGF operative was present in the audience and happened to be recording as Rep. Hinchey launched into a barking moonbat conspiracy rant worthy of Democratic Underground, telling the audience he believed the fake CBS memos were planted by Karl Rove to discredit Dan Rather, and divert attention from President Bush’s “draft dodging.”
When our operative asked Hinchey if he had evidence for these charges, he first said, “Yes, I do,” but when asked a second time he admitted he did not.
Our operative pressed the issue, “Don’t you think it’s irresponsible to make charges like that?” Hinchey replied, “No, I don’t, I think it’s very important to make charges like that ... I think it’s very important to combat this kind of activity in every way that you can, and I’m willing, as most people are not, to step forward in situations like this and take risks.”
And the crowd burst into applause and cheering.

I mean he's not a party leader maybe, but "congressman" is one of the higher title the Dems still hold.
I really think the insane hatred for all things Bush helped push "on the fence" people our way- and really caused the Bush supporters to get way more active. Essentially, this branch of the Dems is saying the 40% or so of the country who strongly supported Bush is just a duped mass of idiots.
