"Democrat" Tammy Bruce: electing Dean DNC chairman was "like putting O.J.

Simpson in charge of a battered women's shelter"
Discussing recent controversial comments by former Vermont governor and presidential candidate Howard Dean, Fox News political analyst Tammy Bruce said that electing Dean chairman of the Democratic National Committee was "like putting O.J. Simpson in charge of a battered women's shelter."

From the June 6 edition of Fox News Live:

BRIGITTE QUINN (anchor): Tammy, does it resonate with the base? A strategist for John Kerry made the point that he seems to be trying this class warfare strategy again, and this strategist for the John Kerry campaign says "that doesn't tend to work for us."

BRUCE: Well, it doesn't. Putting Howard Dean in charge of the Democratic Party is like putting O.J. Simpson in charge of a battered women's shelter.

During the segment, Bruce repeatedly identified herself as a Democrat; claimed that people like her made up the Democratic base; claimed that a Republican in the White House is evidence that Dean does not resonate with Democrats; and suggested that Democrats will not win "those red states" with Dean as DNC chairman. Bruce herself supported George W. Bush in 2004, and encouraged other Democrats to do the same.

Doesn't Tammy Bruce Have a Show On Sirius RIGHT...

she must be a Zell Miller Democrat. Actually, isn't she a self-loathing lesbian?

[Clark2008]

12. She's Ann Coulter with dark hair

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. My word there are a lot of scared Dems out there

[bpilgrim]

6. EXACTLY - and the DLC are willing to tear the party apart in public

in our hour of greatest need for UNITY, talk about EGOS :puke:

they only reveal their selfishness when they behave like this in public.

peace

[Thrasybulus]

17. Unity is in the eye of the beholder

Take Truman's example in the presidential election of 1948. He ran on his principles and let the Dixiecrats under Ole Strom, and the far left under Henry Wallace bolt the party.

Truman's "unity" was a clear position that appealed to the majority. I believe Dean is establishing that clear position for today's Party.

The DLC is in its death throes. They couldn't prevent Dean from becoming chairman so they're desperate to undermine him.

With our support that won't happen. Just made my donation.

[bpilgrim]

20. Absolutely.

Dr. Dean is a very ASTUTE POLITICIAN who first recognized and then capitalized on the rising wave of POPULAR ANGER against politics as usual and in particular the thugs at the helm.

we here at DU also recognized Dr. Dean, too... from jump ;->

give'm hell Dr. Dean
(it's the truth but reTHUGs think it's HELL)

:hi:

peace

[NoPasaran]

2. I have to hand it to Faux

With all the real Dems criticizing Dean these days, they still have to wheel out a phony Dem. They have all the editorial flexibility of Pravda!

[iconoclastic cat]

3. Email Ms. Bruce and tell her that her comment was racist and ignorant.

Jackass.

[devilgrrl]

4. Listening to Tammy Bruce is like listening to Lynn Cheney

Who In Hell is Tammy Bruce?

[Ms. Clio]

16. That was exactly my question--thanks for the link

Just a few interesting 'graphs:

When a reader wrote me a couple weeks back asking, "Who in hell is Tammy Bruce, And when will she - please, please, PLEASE - pass through the digestive tract and sphincter of media detestation and into the septic tank of television history?", I popped the term "Tammy Bruce" into a Web search engine.

What I found amazed me.

She's written a book. She seems slightly schizophrenic about almost everything in life. She's not terribly good looking. She has people that hate her enough to create entire anti-Tammy-Bruce web sites -- complete with unflattering pictures of the pundit. She is a self-described lesbian, a past officer of the National Organization for Women, pro-choice, but voted for Reagan and was proud of it.

But the crowning achievement of my Google search was finding her columns on that lunatic Chris Ruddy's web site that is laughably called "NewsMax."


Unbelievable. Who, except Fox News, considers this woman a "Democrat?"

[devilgrrl]

18. FAUX must figure that because she's a lesbian...

she must be a Democrat. :eyes:

[housewolf]

23. I saw her speak at a conference that c-span broadcast last year

it was to a group of young republican women. Then I listened to her radio show one time and swore that I was listening to a female Rush Limbaugh.

I can't believe she still calls herself a Democrat. She's no Democrat, spewing hate the way she does.

[OrlandoGator]

5. She's not a Democrat, she just plays one on TV.

Every talking head on Faux is an actor playing a role.

[musette_sf]

9. much like Mara Liasson n/t

[Clark2008]

7. If Tammy Bruce is a Democrat, then we must all be Republicans

because she doesn't sound like an self-described Dem I know. Never has.

I heard she "poses" as a liberal on various cable news shows, but blathers on more like a right-wing nut.

When a reader wrote me a couple weeks back asking, "Who in hell is Tammy Bruce, And when will she - please, please, PLEASE - pass through the digestive tract and sphincter of media detestation and into the septic tank of television history?", I popped the term "Tammy Bruce" into a Web search engine.

She is a self-described lesbian, a past officer of the National Organization for Women, pro-choice, but voted for Reagan and was proud of it.

I also discovered that she lives in Los Angeles, which immediately made her suspect.

11. Fox News Political Analyst Tammy Bruce being a Democrat

Why don't they just get Zell Miller?

[AuntPatsy]

13. Very misleading thread title, she is No Democrat...

[bullimiami]

14. wtf is that supposed to mean. she is a morAn.

[mzmolly]

15. TAMMY BRUCE IS A *BUSH SUPPORTER* I don't care what her registration

says. She makes Zell Miller look like Dennis Kucinich.

[Pithy Cherub]

19. TB is a failed Democrat, a failed author, failed talkshow host,

a failed talkshow host, a failed radio DJ, a failed leader of gay rights, a failed feminist, a failed Non-profit executive director, a failed pundit and a failed politician, BUT Faux finds her to be a credible democrat. Let me ponder for a nanosecond whether that will let me find Tammy credible in light of the above named failures...:freak:

:rofl: Tammy is whoring for a job at faux snoozers for losers!

[UdoKier]

21. I thought her calling card was as a lesbian right-winger?

I haven't listened to her in years, since I lived in Southern California, but I always saw her as a republican.

[Cleita]

22. Why doesn't somebody put a sock in her mouth?

She's no more a Democrat than I'm a Martian. She writes for the same right wing publications Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Rielly write for. She's the "liberal" voice that makes them fair and balanced.

One of us ought to join the Republican Party and then go write up a bunch of articles criticizing the GOP and Bush all the while claiming to be a Republican.

[Rex]

24. If she is a Dem then why vote Bush?

What a worthless wretch she is.

[mitchum]

25. Tammy Bruce is just a two-bit hack
