#1 Look in the mirror, Sen Daschle. And by the way - that mean looking fellow behind you is the man who will defeat you, Mr Thune.

#2 This is the Dasshole who cheers on the rants of SHIT SPEWING MONGRELS like Teddy Kennedy, Robert C. Byrd, Al Gore and the ten FOAMING-AT-THE-MOUTH lunatics who ran for the dem presidential nomination. Dasshole is also a gawddamned LIAR among other loathsome verminous things. Max Cleland was NEVER compared to Usama. The ad in question started with a screen divided into four parts flashing pictures of the war on terrorism including terrorists, troops, fighter jets and aircraft carriers. Was Max in its wheelchair compared to an aircraft carrier too? Hell no! Max Cleland lost its election due to the Senator going along with Dasshole in stalling creation of the Department of Homeland Security on behalf of government union thugs. Max Cleland -- a dem I once had some respect for -- has devolved into a PATHETIC, PUKING, MEWLING CRYBABY allowing himself to be wheeled out on stage to have his tear stained cheek tissued by creeps like John Kerry and Tommy Dasshole who are in search of hoped for political advantage. Pray God the easily duped imbeciles in the dem party in South Dakota do not outnumber people with a conscience and self-respect come November. South Dakotans deserve better than Dasshole. Always have....

#3 
Tom Daschle decried Monday what he called the "startling meanness" of American politics
What, he looked in a mirror?

Bet it cracked into a thousand pieces.

#5 SouthDakotaPolitics, an excellent blog, sez: "Tom Daschle has frequently engaged in "Sopranos-style intimidation tactics" here in South Dakota, as Jeff Gannon, resident DC expert on South Dakota politics, has reported."

See also Daschle vs Thune blog. If you really want this "deeply disappointed" asshat out of Congress, donate some $ to Thune's campaign to unseat him, I did.

#6 Daschle is right.
"There are things that matter more than political parties" Like winning the WoT.

"There are lines we should not cross regardless of the advantage we think it may give our party at times" Like playing politics with the lives of our soldiers by undermining the war effort and helping the bad guys.

"America has real enemies in the world"
Including the "regain power by helping the Islamists" wing of the Democratic party.

"Creating false enemies among us to score political points does not make us safer, it makes us more vulnerable. And trying to bully and intimidate others into silence or compliance does not lead to progress. It leads to increased polarization and eventually paralysis."
Daschle knows they are crossing the line, and he feels a little guilty, but Daschle and others do it every day. Politics is politics.

#7 One quibble with your analysis, Sam. Daschle, Kennedy, Pelosi, and others of their ilks never feel guilty about anything.

They're annointed, after all.
