Zell says Kerry's a "National Security Threat"

[AntiCoup2K4]

Geezus, I'm not Kerry's biggest fan by any means, but this senile old bastard really shouldn't skip his medication......

In the most scathing attack yet against Sen. John Kerry delivered by one of his peers, Sen. Zell Miller warned yesterday that the likely Democratic presidential nominee would be a threat to U.S. national security if elected.

Reacting to claims by Kerry ally Sen. Ted Kennedy that "Saddam's torture chambers have reopened under U.S. management," Miller told radio host Sean Hannity:dunce:

"Those twin senators from Massachusetts are the co-chairmen of the Handwringers of America - the HWA. And they continued to bash this country.

"Both of them," Miller said, "voted against every major weapons system that won the Cold War. And Senator Kerry has made it very clear that his national security policy is to vacillate and retreat and hand over the leadership to the United Nations."

The Georgia Democrat :eyes: warned that the prospect of Kerry's election posed such a serious threat to U.S. national security that it could ultimately cost the U.S. its freedom.

HaHa, I got to be first this time!

[Hippo_Tron]

55. I hope he gets one of those 4 hour erections...

That would make such a great headline.

[Renew Deal]

2. That's a joke.

Just like Zell.

[elperromagico]

4. How has Zell gone from being a progressive Georgia governor,

to the maniac we now see splayed before us in every conservative rag on earth?

Has he been bought off? Or are his disagreements legitimate? I think the Kerry campaign has pointed out his praise for Kerry in the past - why has Zell changed so very much? Surely Bush is not this inspiring to him!

[SharonAnn]

13. I observed the same thing with one friend and one relative.

Their thinking just seemed to get so right-wing and they were so "black and white" about their thinking. It was a noticeable difference form their previous behavior.

Within 2 years both had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

I've never seen anything in medical reports about a connection but it makes sense that when otherwise wide-ranging thinkers become narrow and judgmental, something is going on.

Read with patience ...

[denverbill]

5. If so, he should be arrested, right you fucking senile moron?

If you don't want to arrest someone who is a 'national security threat' then clearly, you yourself are a threat to national security, because you are soft on terrorists.

I truly can't believe that shithead. No one pisses me off more than a fake traitor. Zell was never a Democrat. The only reason he posed as one was because it was the only way to get elected. He's a fake.

[davidinalameda]

6. whatever Zell

he does make a pretty good shrill for Bushie

:puke:

[WilliamPitt]

8. Douuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuchebag...Douuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuchebag...

Sorry. I thought I was in Fenway for a sec.

[billybob537]

23. lol>

[4_Legs_Good]

9. How many seats are we going to have to take in 2004

to regain the Senate and protect against this guy and Lieberman defecting?

david

[WilliamPitt]

11. Lieberman won't defect

He'd lose in Connecticut if he did, and in a number of ways, he is a good Democrat. He's a flaming asshole in many ways, of course, but his liberal rating overall is fairly high.

Zell could switch parties and cause hardly a ripple in GA.

[4_Legs_Good]

14. I think you're right

on Lieberman, probably. I know a few people in Connecticut, and I guess they kinda match him politically.

Hmmmmmmm...

david

[pacifictiger]

Zell is one of the few

good old southern white boys that hasn't quite completed his republican morph transformation yet. Don't let the name fool you, if it walks and talks like a duck...........

[drfemoe]

43. yikes!! SHIVERS

"republican morph" .. did you have to say that??

[Spinzonner]

10. Who cares what he thinks

... to paraphrase somebody

[Gothmog]

12. Zell is an idiot

Thank G-D he is retiring.

[4_Legs_Good]

15. He's retiring?

Ahhh, that's good news.

Any chance of a Dem replacement?

david

[Hippo_Tron]

56. I think Georgia and SC are our worst bets for dem senators...

But I think there's still a shot.

[Jim Sagle]

16. Is this a signal that Kerry should be tossed into Gitmo?

:mad:

[TheBlob]

17. How can this guy possibly have any friends

in the Democratic Party?

(outside of Lieberman and Ed Koch of course)

[truebrit71]

18. Terry McAuliffe needs to tell Zell to step off...

..fuck all that noise about being the party of the big tent, rule number ONE is that ALL elected Democrats need to stand behind the nominee...

He is a fucking disgrace to the Democratic party and he needs to BOOTED THE FUCK OUT!!!

With 'Democrats' like Zell and Lieberman who the hell needs rethuglicans??

[Sparkly]

22. That would help!

Can people really be booted out of the party? If so, it ought to happen in this case.

[Chicken George]

20. My hurried email to Senator Daschle re: the bastard

Senator Daschle, why has this embarrassment to the Democrat Party not been tossed out of the Party on his ear yet? I ask you since you are our leader and both my Senators are Republicans and they can do nothing about what is OUR problem. I am sure that you will have the backing of all rational Democrats if you would remove him from the Party, the Caucus and/or publicly admonish him. Please do something about this loose cannon.

[newyawker99]

48. Hi Chicken George!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Chicken George]

50. Thanks newyawker99

...and cheers from a displaced Bronxite...Go Yankees.

[eileen from OH]

24. If you look at it from the "other" side. . .

I know that the Republicans thought that Jeffords was a traitor. But at least he had the FREAKIN' BALLS to change parties. He put up with the shit storm, he had to lay it on the line, he had to deal with the publicity, which was even WORSE because his defection cost the Republicans the Senate.

We on the left acclaim John McCain when he doesn't tow the party line. We love a maverick, so why don't we love Zell, if we think he's really speaking his conscience?

Why? Because he's a coward. Forget senile - he's a coward.

McCain criticizes, but he does so honestly, and never pretends to be anything less than a loyal supporter. Issues, yes, he'll speak out -but he won't hurt his own party. Miller is so chicken-shit that he can't even face the fact that he is no longer a member of the Party that supported and helped to elected him.

I don't care what side of the aisle you are on, I respect any man/woman who will speak honestly and if they can't do it from within their own party, they leave and FACE the consequences, instead of blaming them what brought you to the dance in the first place.

eileen from OH

[zulchzulu]

39. Correct! Zell is too much of a pussy to switch parties.

I give him a couple years before the sorry bastard takes a dirtnap, so I guess he can leave this World with the legacy of being a confused, senile neocon with the mental skills of a flunky former bartender like Hannity.

Pity the fool.

[BootinUp]

25. So outrageous its hard to believe

and he's my Senator too. Hey I didn't vote for him though ;)

[ulysses]

26. uly says Miller's a "dickweed"

"Then again," said the citizen from Georgia, "I've been saying that he was a dickweed since long before he endorsed Shrubulus."

[MikeG]

28. ZELL'S A PECKERWOOD!!!

[VelmaD]

29. It is time for Zell to go

If there isn't already a process to kick him out of the Party...then we need to make one up. :evilgrin:

[yellowcanine]

30. Zell shiould go piss on an electric fence.

.

[surfermaw]

31. Wonder what Bush is twisting Zell's arm with?

[union_maid]

32. That's kind of funny

If it's not clear by now that the biggest threat to our national security is the incompetent fool now occupying the WH, I shudder to think just what will make it any plainer.

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. I wonder if Wes Clark

is a National Security threat? I DON'T THINK SO! Go Wes! If Clark is on the ticket, National Security/Foreign Policy is OWNED by the Democrats! The repukes will be SCREWED!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!! Go Wes!!!!

[Leilani]

34. Zell Miller is pond scum!!

Even if he does not like John Kerry, he is really hitting below the belt. He does not need to do this; he just wants to be a prick.

The last time the Repugs started the Kerry is bad for national security, McCain came out & refuted it.

Like Zell Miller would know anything about security...this has me really angry. Pathetic thing to say!!!

He REALLY should be kicked out of the party.

[BootinUp]

It going to be so much fun when

We kick Bush's butt! Up yours Zell you bastard! :7

[JohnLocke]

35. JohnLocke says Miller is 'moronic sellout,' 'not a Democrat.'

Time to give Zell the award. Complete with spit on his sorry face. What a disgusting traitor and completely unAmerican fuckhead.

44. I love a good hypocrite...

"Both of them," Miller said, "voted against every major weapons system that won the Cold War. And Senator Kerry has made it very clear that his national security policy is to vacillate and retreat and hand over the leadership to the United Nations."

In the eighties conservatives claimed that communism would ultimately bring down the Soviet Union. They argued that Communism was by its very nature repressive and self-destructive, but unrestrained Capitalism was destined to succeed. They claimed that the death of Communism would be a victory for freedom and capitalism. And they claimed that our objective was to stop oppressive, military dictatorships from spreading across the world.

But less than twenty years later this story has changed. They now say it was deficit spending on WMD, Big Government, and obedient citizens that defeated the Soviet Union. If you ask them whether Communism brought down the U.S.S.R they act shocked and announce that without the Godlike guidance of Reagan and Bush, Communism would now dominant the world. Are they attempting to prove that Communism is better than Capitalism or that massive government spending stopped the Cold War? Most interesting is how they can defend the use of our tax dollars to fund oppression in the name of morality and Patriotism. Twenty years ago the neocons revived their feeble movement on the principle of questioning any need for Big Government. Today that movement is centered on never questioning the Government and labeling any who do so as "a serious threat to U.S. national security."

45. He's a super freak

super freak, super freak... he's super freaky now.

What a maroon!

47. What a worthless fvcking POS.

The guy must get hundreds of lettters every week to "PLEASE, Please SWITCH PARTIES!" We don't WANT YOU!"

[otakuboy T]

49. Can't the Dems kick some oneout of the party?

Really, why not?

[Ridley Park 704]

51. F this Georgia punk

Zell is a shitstain that is très disloyal to his party. His rants go beyond standard criticism. We might as well have Nikita Khrushchev in his senate seat.

And the same goes for you, Ed Koch.

53. These are the same attacks Kerry and Lieberman used on Dean

Did anyone not see this coming?

54. Sad, sad old man.

a sad way to spend your life, imo.

professional backstabber...

[struggle4progress]

57. As I remember it, it wasn't just Democrats but Democracy itself ...

that ZM is having trouble with nowadays:

Zell Miller: Voters should not choose senators
April 28, 2004
Miller's maverick tendencies as a U.S. senator reached an all-time high Wednesday when he proposed eliminating the U.S. Constitution's 17th Amendment and going back to the days when senators were appointed by legislatures rather than elected by voters.
<more>
http://www.athensnewspapers.com/stories/042904/new_20040429066.shtml

Of course, if he hadn't been APPOINTED in the first place, he might never have been elected, so this might make sense from his point of view.

[GOPBasher]

58. This just in: Zell's a piece of crap.

[Arkana]

59. In the words of Bender from Futurama:

"Bite my shiny metal ass."

Zell is a miserable vomitous mass who is a Repuke in Democratic clothing.
