How did I miss this?
Steve Gillard at the NEWS BLOG did a post about the Congressman from the 9th District several days ago, and I missed it until I was told about it today. Please read it, as well as the comments, one of which refers to Junior as a "Vichy Democrat". Those of you who are of the WWII Generation know what that means...

I worked in the Gore 2000 race, did you? Stick Nader up your ass, pal.
Harold Ford, Senior is someone who grew up in South Memphis, never once forgetting where he came from. He was the best congressman I have ever had, even if I didn't always agree.
Harold ford Junior grew up around the children of privilege, and he apparently hasn't forgotten it, either.
He is an elitist who has sold out to the Beltway willingly; it's the only life he's known. If you are correct and he is the nominee of the party, he will lose 93 of 95 counties.
If you're willing to let him take the party down with him, you're not much of a Democrat. You;re the one that needs to go back to the Republicans, not me.
rusty,
Is the Ford campaign paying you to go around and visit various blogs making inflammatory remarks about Senator Kurita?
I've seen you everywhere...
You make these outrageous claims and fail to back them up with any evidence.
Kurita is in. She's in today, she'll be in tomorrow, she'll be in in August.
And come November, she'll be the next U.S. Senator from Tennessee!
I'm sure that Beth Harwell is proud of both of you for working to ensure that this Senate seat remains in GOP hands, as it will if Ford wins the nomination.
Maybe Rusty should take Kimberly Wood's word for it in the Lebanon Democrat ... "I knew when I started I might not be here for the long haul. I had a job to do, I did it."
Or maybe he should look to the October disclosures.
Or maybe he should consider Ford's "have it both ways" position on Iraq.
Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!
Ken Neill a Republican, eh? There's sure a lot of cranial-rectal inversion coming to this board on behalf of the Man Who Would Be Senator.
Obama, now he's just a memory...
Well, I meant to say remember when Ford was Obama before Obama, but now he's just a memory to national politics.
Oy, never mind!
Here comes Rusty! Republican rabbit.
If ind Rusty's use of catch phrases interesting.
1) Liberal elite- no democrat calls another democrat liberal elite. (Please use inside the beltway, DLCer's, Vichy Democrats, or republican-lites. Terminology is important.)
2) Estate tax helps small farmers-Now that's just a republican myth. A professor at the University of Missouri has documented how no family farm has been lost to estate taxes.
3) Party of FDR. Yes real democrats get hot in the pants for any mention of FDR, but I think it is pretty well documented Ford has not voted in the interest of working class men and women. As for banks and wall street, that's a different story and everyone knows how banks and Wall Street just loved FDR.
4) Kurds and Turkomen subject to genocide. Yes they were, in 1991 when Bush the first told them to revolt and then left them handing. They have had an autonomous region since 1992. Remember no-fly zones. If you don't believe it, just ask a Kurd. Why do you think they demand regional autonomy in the constitutional negotiations.
Rusty, try to get better at posing as a democrat. I know the RNC talking points has been drilled into people's heads and it's hard to break behavior patterns, so go back and tell Ken Mehlman to train his shock troops better.
The AFL-CIO supports private prisons, and remember, that's where the money is in Tennessee right now. If the AFL-CIO values money over issues, their endorsement of Uncle Junior isn't worth a bucket of birdshit to me.
Rusty is a troll who, if I am not mistaken, posts on Peggy's blog from time to time. At least Rusty and Peggy's troll have the same ISP and blogging habits. They make the same typos, too.
If a Republican is trolling for Uncle Junior, and I am 90% sure the he is, what does that say about Kurita? Who is the trojan horse here? Remember what they did to Howard Dean.
This is going to be an easy primary fight if people like Rusty are all we have to deal with. Just think of the bumper stickers we can make.
Vote Kurita, because she has held a job!
Vote Kurita, because she is an adult!
Vote Kurita, because she is a Democrat!
You can't say any of that about Uncle Junior. Remember, LWC, that votes win primaries, not money. If we can beat the Ford GOTV machine, we win the primary. We need to get together in person and talk about organization.
