Conservative leaders meeting in Washington
As such, I think it is more than a little, dare I say, biased of the Washington Post to call him a "conservative leader."
if this man was an Arab, could you imagine?
He'd already be in Guantanamo tonight and Gonzales would be holding a press conference.
This was a out-and-out threat. And Congressmen and Senate aides sat by and listened to it. Applauded it even.
DeLay was also there via videotape. He's a conservative leader. Phyllis Schafly is also a longstanding conservative leader. They need to be held accountable. It's pretty apparent by this that the "mainstream" Republicans go hand in hand with the loony-toons wing of their party.
What's more, what the article tells me is that I can meet with "conservative leaders" and advocate silencing or even killing members of the Supreme Court. This gets me a tongue-in-cheek article in the Washington Post.
Or I can wear an issue oriented T-shirt or sport a bumper sticker on my vehicle to a publicly advertised, publicly funded "town-hall style" meeting where the President addresses his constituents, and get manhandled or even arrested.
Fuck me with a spoon.
From Washington Times interview with DeLay:
Mr. Hurt: Have you ever crossed the line of ethical behavior in terms of dealing with lobbyists, your use of government authority or with fundraising?
Mr. DeLay: Ever is a very strong word.
