Too cowardly and, if past statements are any guide, too ill-informed to hold a substantive discussion on the merits of Democratic criticisms about the war in the Iraq, Sean Hannity substituted bullying character assassination while Michael Reagan advocated actual assassination of those practicing the democratic and American right of dissent. Alan Colmes did an exceptional job of countering such despicable behavior but so-called Democratic strategist Bob Beckel was obviously unprepared and caught off-guard by the onslaught. Isn't it time that the objects of these attacks - Howard Dean, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, to name a few - figure out a viable strategy to confront these un-American tactics that go on night after night on the most highly-rated news network?
