I have no problem criticizing the administration, recently I have thought they have performed in very assine ways. Yet, there still is no comparison with what the Democrats manage to do, day after day. Just a few days ago, Dickie Durbin went stark raving mad in the Senate regarding respect for our military, then blames the people for 'misinterpreting' his 'real feelings' of respect for the troops. Yeah, right.
Now we have Conyers holding 'play' congressional meetings and passing out anti-semetic literature in the name of the DNC, even Howard Dean knows that is an act of stupidity:
See this for the 'role playing of committee meeting' by a 'real' member of Congress:

Dean Condemns 'Anti-Semitic Literature'
Dean Slams 'Anti-Semitic Literature' Distributed at Democratic National Committee Headquarters
The Associated Press
Jun. 18, 2005 - A handful of people at Democratic National Headquarters distributed material critical of Israel during a public forum questioning the Bush administration's Iraq policy, drawing an angry response and charges of anti-Semitism from party chairman Howard Dean on Friday.
"We disavow the anti-Semitic literature, and the Democratic National Committee stands in absolute disagreement with and condemns the allegations," Dean said in a statement posted on the DNC Web site.
Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, organized the forum on Thursday at the Capitol to publicize and discuss the so-called Downing Street memo. That document suggests that the Bush administration believed that war with Iraq was inevitable and that the administration was determined to use intelligence about weapons of mass destruction to justify the ouster of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
The Sunday Times of London has reported that the prewar document, which recounts a meeting of Prime Minister Tony Blair's national security team, was leaked from inside the British government. The White House has rejected the memo's assertions.
Conyers' event occurred in a small Capitol meeting room, and an overflow crowd watched witnesses on television in a conference room at DNC headquarters. According to Dean, some material distributed within the DNC conference room implied that Israel was involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
One witness, former intelligence analyst Ray McGovern, told Conyers and other House Democrats that the war was part of an effort to allow the United States and Israel to "dominate that part of the world," a statement Dean also condemned.
"As for any inferences that the United States went to war so Israel could 'dominate' the Middle East or that Israel was in any way behind the horrific September 11th attacks on America, let me say unequivocally that such statements are nothing but vile, anti-Semitic rhetoric," Dean said.
"The inferences are destructive and counterproductive, and have taken away from the true purpose of the Judiciary Committee members' meeting," he said. "The entire Democratic Party remains committed to fighting against such bigotry."
