Have the Democrats Lost Their Collectivist Minds?

Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., who earned headlines across the globe last year for criticizing President Bush while in Baghdad, is enmeshed in a new controversy over remarks he made about the capture of Saddam Hussein.
In an interview Monday with a Seattle radio station, McDermott said the U.S. military could have found the former Iraqi dictator “a long time ago if they wanted.”

Asked if he thought the weekend capture was timed to help Bush, McDermott chuckled and said, “Yeah. Oh, yeah.”

I’d say Yes.

Chris Vance, the GOP state chair for Washington reads it as I do:

“Calling on him to apologize is useless, but I call on other Democrats to let the public know if they agree with McDermott — and Howard Dean, who recently said he thought it was possible that President Bush had advance knowledge about 9/11. The voters deserve to know if the entire Democratic Party believes in these sorts of bitter, paranoid conspiracy theories.”

The Democrats are in a tight spot; they can’t distance themselves from such remarks given what we’ve been seeing on DU… the rank and file think this way, too.  The isolation of the Democrats continues….
