The Dems civil rights abuse fantasy

The Washington Times:

"More Democrats are charging that President Bush and the Republicans are using the war on terrorism as an excuse to deprive Americans of civil rights and civil liberties, the latest development in a series of attacks aimed at the president's pursuit of war in Iraq.

"'They have taken us much farther down the road toward an intrusive, 'Big Brother'-style government — toward the dangers prophesied by George Orwell in his book '1984' — than anyone ever thought would be possible in the United States of America,' Mr. Gore said Sunday in a speech sponsored by MoveOn.org and the American Constitution Society.

"..."They have taken us much farther down the road toward an intrusive, 'Big Brother'-style government — toward the dangers prophesied by George Orwell in his book '1984' — than anyone ever thought would be possible in the United States of America," Mr. Gore said Sunday in a speech sponsored by MoveOn.org and the American Constitution Society.

"...Jonathan Grella, spokesman for House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, Texas Republican, said Democrats' charges on civil liberties are an attempt to play to their base. He singled out MoveOn.org, which began as a pro-Clinton, anti-impeachment Web site and evolved into a barometer of opinion among liberal activists.

"'They should call it 'can't-move-on-dot-org' — can't get over the recount, recall or redistricting and the past few elections,' Mr. Grella said."
