DNC’s false draft story
Yesterday I talked about the travesty of Kerry and the DNC making false accusations about Bush having a “secret plan” to reinstate the draft; So I am heartened to see that Wizbang is all over this story as well. Or course in light of the plummeting Democratic ethics revealed here, I suppose it can be explained away as par for the course. A couple of choice snippets:
Lie, cheat, twist, slant, forge -- whatever it takes. Bush must be stopped. So today's Democrats seem to believe. Law professor Susan Estrich -- her law school ethics classes apparently but a distant memory -- expressed the sentiment when she offered fellow Dems this election advice: "You have to fight fire with fire, mud with mud, dirt with dirt." Lie about anything and everything, because "lies move numbers." Time Magazine's Joe Klein agrees. He defends John Kerry's tendency to play loose with facts as a matter of entitlement. "Kerry has a right to exaggerate with impunity," he writes, overlooking the public's right to scorn serial liars. His advice to Kerry and implicitly to all Dems is "to do much more of that."
With standards like these, it ought to be no surprise to see the Democrats attempting to perpetrate such a shameless and irresponsible lie on an unsuspecting public. But the sheer gall and audacity to suggest that it is the Repbulicans who want to reinstate the draft, when it reality all of the efforts to date to reinstate the draft have been sponsored by Democrats, is maddening indeed...
