A Bit of Fun - In Praise of Civil Debate ;)

Inspired by the poem posted here recently.. a bit of fun.

A recent speech by a Republican leader:

"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I want to speak this evening about how I see the political landscape. Let me jump right in. The struggle between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party is a struggle between good and evil–and we’re the good. I hate Democrats. Let’s face it, they have never made an honest living in their lives. Who are they, really, but people who are intent on abusing power, destroying the United States Senate and undermining our Constitution? They have no shame.

But why would they? They have never been acquainted with the truth. You ever been to a Democratic fundraiser? They all look the same. They all behave the same. They have a dictatorship, and suffer from zeal so extreme they think they have a direct line to heaven. But what would you expect when you have a far left extremist base? We cannot afford more of their leadership. I call on you to help me defeat them!”

Sound familiar? :p Think the media would be friendly to, say Bill Frist or President Bush if he had given this speech?

From polipundit.com, which I recommend.

Sorry if this is the third time you've seen this.. if it's your first, try and match which lines are Hillary Clinton's and which are Governor Dean's. ;)

Oh man! This trumps almost anything I have ever seen on these forums in terms of partisanship! Did Hillary really say all this?

Nah, that's mostly Dean.. the "speech" is Hillary and Dean marbled together.. the original Polipundit post had it color-coded.. I woulda posted it that way if it were possible.

Edit: Hillary is the dictatorship/extremist base/destroying the Senate bit, mainly.

Wow... any bets on how many people will take this speech seriously and try to defend it, ending up utterly confused in this thread? ;)
