| Mark Levin: modern Dems are "Vichy French" |
| 2006-08-09 |
| A lovely example of invective--and not a swearword in there. The know-nothing, empty-suit, blue-blood Ned Lamont is now the Democrat party's poster boy. He's sort of a John Kerry, but without the Purple Hearts (and he actually inherited most of his fortune from his own family). Don't hold back, tell us what you really think of him. Lamont follows in the great tradition of his uncle, Corliss Lamont, who was a courageous pacifist during the rise of the Nazis, just as Little Neddy has been heroic in his adamant appeasement of the Islamo-Nazis. And it was impossible to miss some of the Jew-baiters standing behind Little Neddy at the podium last night as he celebrated his landslide (4 percent) victory over a prominent senator of Jewish heritage, e.g., Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson and Al "Interloper" Sharpton. There's something very French about the modern Democrat party ... or is that Vichy French? It's the party of Jim Moran; John Dingel; the late, great Cynthia McKinney; Robert Byrd ("the Conscience of the Senate"); former elder statesmen Fritz Hollings; and, of course, Joe Kennedy Sr. The party of Harry Truman — strong on defense and the first to recognize Israel — is dead. It's now the party of Henry Wallace. Blue-bloods have replaced blue-collars. And Lamonts have replaced Liebermans. Republicans should be ecstatic. The Democrat presidential field was already running left. Now it will run at sprint-speed. The 2008 presidential election is shaping up to be a 1972 rerun. Even Hillary Clinton, former counsel to the Black Panthers, doesn't measure up. "Oh, the times, they are a changin ...." |

| #2 The Vichy were forced by circumstances to cooperate... BS. The French were offered union with Britain -- so that the French colonies could stay in the fight, and that the French navy could join with the British. They opted out, and in fact made it quite clear they preferred the Nazi boot to "getting too close" to the Brits. |

| #1 Not Vichy, Copperheads. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copperheads The Vichy were forced by circumstances to cooperate, but the Copperheads believed in supporting slavery and the other precepts of the Confederacy. Even when the label was applied to them, like the modern left, they wear it proudly. |
