Here's a crazy idea, MEM.

If the Democrats don't want Republicans to point out that democrats say silly, defeatist, even dangerous, things about the war and the troops....


THEY SHOULD STOP SAYING SUCH THINGS!

Today's Democratic leadership (as opposed to guys like Lieberman) feel free to say anything they want about this war--including John Kerry's recent claims of war atrocities by the troops, and Howard Dean's feeling that the war is unwinnable--as long as they follow up with, "But I support the troops!"

Every time I hear them say they support the troops I think of that "Seinfeld" episode in which Jerry and George were suspected of being gay but would say, "Not that there's anything wrong with that!"

Both phrases ring hollow and insincere, calculated to give them coverage. Seinfeld's "coverage" was funny because you knew he didn't really mean it, and such is becoming the case with the Democrats.
