ThinkProgress reports that Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) has called for mob rule against Harry Reid in response to the Senate Majority leader's criticism of failed Bush policy in Iraq.
Inhofe joins disgraced and indicted ex-Congressman Tom Delay who recently accused Speaker of the House Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid of treason.
These well-coordinated attacks, which also coincide with Vice President Cheney's attacks on Harry Reid during a Press Conference, are all emphasizing the same frame:
[criticism of the President] is [a crime]
Reid, Pelosi and the rest of the Democratic leadership cannot allow these irresponsible charges from Republicans go unanswered for one minute.
Instead, they should immediately reframe the debate, stealing a page from Abraham Lincoln by asserting, not just their right to speak, but the purpose of the war.
"The President needs a history lesson," they should say.
This war and the President's refusal to listen to the voice of the people is a betrayal of American principle. Speaker Pelosi and Majority leader Reid must continue to stand up and hold their ground.
