Biden Claims a GOP 'Blitzkrieg'
June 30, 2010
By Michael McAuliff
Vice President Biden is out with an alarmed e-mail cash appeal warning that the GOP will mount a “blitzkrieg” against Democrats in the fall.
Comparing GOP tactics to the fast-striking forces of Nazi Germany, Biden warns in a message sent by the DCCC today: “As things heat up, you can expect House Democrats will be hit with a GOP blitzkrieg of vicious Swift-Boat-style attack ads, Karl Rove-inspired knockout tactics, thinly veiled attempts at character assassination and tea party disruptions.”
And while the GOP is mounting a blitzkrieg, Democrats are the allies.
“Our Democratic allies in the House need your help, and the President and I hope we can count on you to come to their defense so we can hold onto our Democratic Majority and continue moving American forward in a new direction,” Biden writes in the appeal.
Subtle? Not so much.
Update: Republicans were not amused by the implications of the e-mail.
Kevin Smith, spokesman for Minority Leader John Boehner, e-mailed a comment that seems sure to get under Democrats’ skins: “When will Democrats learn that invoking the Nazis’ crimes against humanity in a political debate is simply inappropriate?”

What is just as interesting as Biden attacking Republicans - their values, their patriotism, their faith ... is how often this occurs.
If you follow the link, the comments will tell another side to the story - that Democrats argue the Republicans called them names first, and worse.
What should be done, is each party choose a date where they will begin the argument from. Democrats could select 2001, Republicans would select ... but why not select 1998 as the base year. Democrats can start off with the vicious attacks on Clinton, the name calling, the undermining of the Constitution and the Presidency, the coup d'etat ... while Republicans can start with the abuse of power, the lies, the political cowardice of many Democrats, the cover-up, the hypocrisy of ignoring lies by a president but latching on to individual Republican Congressmen about their infidelity or sexual transgressions and never letting go ... it can move into criticism of Bill's wife, and the innuendo's of her preferences, and Democrats would have valid arguments. Republicans would be able to counter that Bill was shredding the military, weakening the United States, tarnishing the image of the presidency around the world, and placing the United States at greater risk of attack by the weakening of our intelligence and political system. We could move into 2000 and the election of Bush - and Democrats would argue he stole the election, he was chosen Bush had 50,456,002 or 47.87% of the vote and Gore had 50,999,897 or 48.38% of the vote -a difference of less than 550,000 - that Bush was never elected, he lost. And worse, that he was born with a silver spoon in his nose, he was a drunk and a drug addict.
The Republicans would remind Democrats that in November 1960, Kennedy received 34,220,984 and Nixon received 34,108,157. The difference was 112,827 ... yet Republicans did not challenge his legitimacy, even though the dead voted many times in Louisiana and Chicago. Instead, the Republicans quitely stood up and accepted the vote ... in part because they had equally as much corruption going on as the Democrats, although not as many dead voted for the Republicans.
Yet it is always the Republicans who are bad, corrupt ... I don't recall a Republican Congressman with $90,000 in cash in his freezer, and then to stand up and howl about his right to privacy being violated by the FBI, or the fact he was a sitting Congressman and should be privileged. It is amazing. How Harry Reid made so much money off land deals, or Hillary made more than a $100,000 off futures in the commodities market - one she had never played before nor has she ever again.
The Democratic Big Sis Homeland Security informed employees of the TSA that certain websites were off limits ... illegal to visit. Among these, any which promoted anti-government or angry militant opposition to the government. Not Republicans, Democrats. You know, the ones who care about rights and freedoms.
The hypocrisy is drowning in that party. In the Republican party, it is simply the retardican way. They couldn't get it right if God Himself gave them the special code to all truth - they'd lose the code and then would look silly trying to explain why they needed it to begin with.
