CNN.com - Democratic senator under fire for 'lynching' comment - Nov. 14, 2003: "'The Democrats in this chamber refuse to stand and let her do it. They're standing in the doorway, and they've got a sign: Conservative African-American women need not apply. And if you have the temerity to do so your reputation will be shattered and your dignity will be shredded. Gal, you will be lynched,' Miller said. "

This from Zell Miller, Democrat from Georgia, who has endorsed Bush for re-election. That is right, disagreeing with a black judge is the same thing as hanging someone from a tree. Miller says that Thomas Sowell wrote it first and he liked it. Great. Another conservative jerk was an ass first.

Miller also wrote book chastizing the Democratic party. Here he talks about it on the 700 Club: "Right now, we have these [Democratic presidential candidates], I call them "the naive nine," going around and talking about that we’ve got to increase taxes. Every single one of them are for some kind of tax increase. Some want to increase taxes a trillion dollars. And others only a $100 billion. But they want to increase taxes. And we’ve got others talking about that we’ve got to get out of Iraq. And we knew that if you don’t fight that battle in Iraq, we'll have to someday fight it on the streets of America. And we can't let that happen. They have adopted the worst feature of the Mondale campaign, raising taxes, and worst feature of the McGovern campaign, cut and run, and it’s taking the Democratic Party down a rat hole."

This is typically Republican rhetoric, acting as if Dems are raising taxes if they call for halting or reversing tax cuts for the wealthy. Is that technically a tax increase? Perhaps. But this is not accurate. In addition, most of the candidates I hear talking about Iraq, including Dean and Clark (the front runners) are critical of the way we got into the war, but both say we have to do the job right.
