Mehlman Accepts the Challenge

The Republican faithful always complain that Republican leaders have no spine, that they cave
before egregious Democratic attacks and run for cover. But it looks as though the GOP is ready
for a rumble on the Karl Rove flap, in which Democrats everywhere are expressing outrage at
Karl Rove when he said:

Conservatives saw the savagery of 9-11 and the attacks and prepared for war;
liberals saw the savagery of the 9-11 attacks and wanted to
prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.

Says
Ken Mehlman on the Democratic reaction:

It’s outrageous that the same Democrats who stood by Dick Durbin’s libeling of our
military are now expressing faux outrage over Karl Rove’s statement of historical fact.
George Soros, Michael Moore, MoveOn and the hard left were wrong after 9/11, just as it
was wrong for Democrat leaders to stand by
and remain silent after Dick Durbin made his deplorable comments.

And then he backs it up with pages of quotes from liberals and Democratic angel George Soros recommending
a restrained therapeutic response to the 9/11 attacks.

What would the Democratic Party be like if its activists were all falling over each other to recommend
a therapeutic response to the rise of the dreaded religious right?
