Outcry Against Dianne Feinstein for saying something “nice” about Bush
She dared to call him warm and caring. Does it get any worse than that?
The left is atwitter again because Dianne Feinstein dared to say something nice about President George Bush.
Bush invited Sen. Dianne Feinstein to join him on Air Force One during his trip. It may not have been coincidence that less than 24 hours earlier, Feinstein played a pivotal role in allowing Judge Leslie Southwick, a target of liberal groups, to be confirmed to an appeals court when she voted to block a filibuster and support the president’s nomination.
With a 7:40 a.m. Thursday departure from Andrews Air Force Base, Feinstein found herself seated in the rear of the plane with a handful of Southern California congressional representatives.
After a breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage and French toast, Bush popped back for what the senator described as a frank two-hour conversation, mostly about foreign policy.
“I found the discussion extraordinarily positive,” Feinstein said. “I came away with a very different view about him.”
As for the president’s performance on the ground?
“It was a wonderful thing to see, to be candid,” Feinstein said. “I saw a warm, caring human being.”
HOW DARE HER???????????????????????????????
Betrayal. Traitor.
Enough to make eyes bleed dammit!!! Bush charmed her. One idiot actually said the words “schoolgirl crush behavior”.
These people are hysterical. I liked the title to this one. Is Diane Feinstein drinking from Joe Lieberman’s Cup?
What started this hysteria against Dianne Feinstein from the far left, before she dared issue a nice word about Bush, was her voting to confirm Judge Leslie Southwick, a nominee to the Fifth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals.
In her statement before the committee, Sen. Feinstein said: “I don’t believe he’s a racist…I believe he’s a good person. … Judicial nominees are not just a collection of prior writings or prior judicial opinions. … My hope is that we can put these days behind us, and that we can give people a fair hearing, and that we can move them on.”
(Note: The full Senate confirmed Southwick, 62-35 on October 24, 2007)
The far left, liberal unhinged portion of the Democratic party, not to be mistaken with the moderate Democrats, cannot separate themselves from issues and address them one by one.
If a Democratic politician votes on anything that the unhinged portion of their party does not agree with, then that politician is then the enemy on all issues.
Democratic politicians are not allowed to have a mind of their own, their supporters do not understand the difference between a Democracy and a Republic (which we are) and we vote our representatives in to do what they think is best and to use their judgment. If the voter is unhappy with the majority of those decisions, they can speak again at the next election.
That isn’t good enough for the far left, liberal unhinged… nope. They want little robotic lapdogs that will do what they are told whether they agree with it or not or whether it is the right thing to do or not.
This is not the first time the far left liberals have made this their policy either.
When Brian Baird, an opponent of the Iraq war since the beginning, recently came back from Iraq, after having seen tremendous progress, he caught hell for saying the surge and the troops deserve more time.
The unhinged portion of the party went nuts and “targeted him“.
When the Blue Dog Democrats, the moderates of the Democratic politicians, cast a vote that the far left does not like, they target them, calling them the “Bush” Dog Democrats. They are actively campaigning against their own politicians and saving the GOP the time and trouble of having to do it themselves. We are talking dozens and dozens of Blue Dogs here.
I have more on this campaign to eat their own here and here.
The battle between the Democratic party from within, between the moderates and the outer fringes, shows a party that is imploding from the inside.
Amusing to watch such a spectacle.

This is something that’s bugged me, a reformed Democrat, for a few years now. I wrote on my own blog a couple of weeks ago about the ideological totalitarianism of the Democrats:
http://thepoolbar.blogspot.com/2007/10/ware-dembots.html
I take some perverse satisfaction in seeing the Dembots eat their own, but if I’m to be honest, it’s not good for the country. But then, neither are the Dembots.
Great piece Eric, thanks for showing it.
It amuses me because they have this ability to shoot themselves in the foot, then take the gun and shoot the other foot. They harm themselves and they do it with such zest.
It is this “eat your own” mentality that is likely to generate a third party LIB candidate once Hillary gets the nomination. I’m not sure who it will be (e.g., Ralph Nader) or someone else, but the dems are primed for a split between Dems that want to win a national election and the NutRoots represented here.
dung.
To have been a fly on the wall on AF1. I wonder what the President said. Whatever it was, he should use it in his next foreign policy speech. I’d like to know exactly what Nancy finds so agreeable and positive about the President’s plans.
The left is going to shrivel up and die when Bush and Cheney leave office. There will be no reason to exist, no target for their hate to keep them breathing. They will be Don Quixotes in a world without windmills.
I am shocked at this, I really am. A lot of Feinsteins funding comes from moveon.org which is led by George Soros, a known Socialist.
Before we get warm and fuzzy with Feinstein, let us not forget her tacit attacks and assaults on our 2nd amendment rights ala The Brady Bill. And let us not forget she is a socialist, and has a voting record to support that.
On the other hand, its heart warming to see leftists all up in arms over her saying this.
It doesnt surprise me though, it IS getting close to an election year, and she has to present herself as moderate to make sure she stays in office.
Nuff said
When liberals fight as vigorously to defend the rights of unborn babies as they do for criminals and terrorists, I will begin to give them some credibility
I am not big on Feinstein, those comments I quoted not withstanding…BUT, I do find it amusing that she isn’t “allowed” to say anything nice about Bush without it making her a traitor to the Democratic party.
What ever happened to individual thought being a good thing?
I often disagree with Bush, that doesn’t make me bash him nor hate him, it just shows that you can be a Republican and still be able to think for yourself.
The Democrats don’t think that is a good idea.
LOL
Dianne Feinstein is a right wing ideologue, that’s why she is hanging with Bush. And your blog rails on about people with absolutely zero attribution, a total waste of time.
I enjoy how you continue to make this an “us vs. them issue”. It’s well known, by intelligent people, that the terms “liberal” and “conservative” are words used by people unable to see the world in the larger and more complex state that it is. While I understand you are busy waving your american flag and defecating on civil liberties and gays, in the name of American freedom and justice, might I warn you when stepping into waters you know nothing about. Having a blog does not entitle you to be ignorant, however, having a brain demands that you to use common sense and thought. Stop buying in to the propaganda and the hype. This is the oldest game in the history of politics. Have them hating each other, so they’re too busy to see what we are doing behind the curtains. How does it feel to know your lack of courage and strength rides along the same intellectual fodder that caused the holocaust and the Spanish inquisition? Wake up and fight for the freedoms of ALL people EVERYWHERE. Not just Americans and Christians.
