Open letter to John Kline
Rep. Kline. Surely you're ready to denounce this:
Let's acknowledge the truth, the whole truth: (1) Germany's Jews did not lose World War I for Germany, but the Nazis blamed them anyway and it was a clever, albeit contemptible, political tactic; and (2) former FEMA Director Michael D. Brown became the scapegoat for Hurricane Katrina virtually by acclamation, because scapegoating fulfills a simplistic, shameful human need; scapegoating is much easier and less disconcerting than ascertaining the whole truth; making Mr. Brown the scapegoat fit perfectry into the Democrats' constant campaign to depict the Bush Administration and Congressional Republicans not only as corrupt but also as incompetent; the Democrats and their leftist major media allies preferred to target a white, conservative, Christian, Republican male instead of a plethora of Louisianans who had not prepared properly for what was readily predictable, especially a weak female governor (Kathleen Blanco), a temperamental black male mayor (Ray Nagin) and Louisiana's senior United States Senator and the daughter of former New Orleans Mayor Moon Landrieu (Mary Landrieu), Democrats all; and the Bush administration preferred to have Mr. Brown resign (as he had planned to do BEFORE Hurricane Katrina formed in the Caribbean) and not tell very embarrassing truths that reflect badly on the Bush administration.
The author, Michael Gaynor, is clearly comparing Democratic scapegoating of Michael Brown with Nazi scapegoating of Jews. We know how comparisons to fictional Nazis upsets you: surely this comparison to real Nazis upsets you even more.
Sadly, I had to read this tripe because it was the opening for an article that goes on to mention Sen. Smilin' Norm Coleman (R-MN):
Mr. Brown reminded Senator Coleman that he had acknowledged some mistakes long ago and challenged the Senator to specify what more there was for which the Senator wanted him to apologize. Startedly, the Senator said his time was up, left and then did not appear for the second round of questioning.
Game, set and match, Mr. Brown. (Senator Coleman should stick to trying to expose that scurrilous British member of Parliament and Saddamite as a liar instead of harassing Mr. Brown.)
Much more on Smilin' Norm's pitiful performance later today and all this week. (And, no, "startedly" and "perfectry" are not words.)
