MN LEFTY LIBERAL AND MN GOP WATCH NEED TO REPUDIATE TOM CRUISE'S COMMENTS
In an interview with Matt Lauer, Tom Cruise, a well-known Democrat, recently called psychiatry a "pseudo science."
Cruise's comments are hurtfull for those of us who have had friends and relatives suffer from mental health issues.
I call on Minnesota Lefty Liberal and MN GOP Watch to repudiate Cruise's comments.

You really are a class act. Sarcastically ridiculing the pain of people who lost loved ones on 9/11. Very classy.
What?!?!?!?!
Normally I would respond to this with fire and brimstone...but a classless act like this is best just ignored.
For those of you who are interested in why I did not respond to Dick Durbin or Howard Dean, I suggest going to www.mnleftyliberal.blogspot.com and reading the comments section of my post.
Tony over at Always Right Usually Correct posed the question to me in a way fitting of an adult, and I did indeed respond to it.
Well Known REPUBLICAN David Duke once said:
"We Aryans are those of European descent who are racially conscious and who have committed our lives to our people's survival and evolutionary advancement. We shall do our duty. We shall not surrender our freedom and our very existence to Jewish or any other power. We shall preserve our heritage and our hard-won rights and freedoms. We shall guide our people up the evolutionary stairway to the stars."
So ALL Republicans hate Jews? or so your logic goes
Trillin: I hate to act like a twelve-year old but you started it.
You are the one who tried to connect Governor Pawlenty to Karl Rove's comments.
What's good for goose, is good for the gander.
MDE-
You seem to agree with Rove's comments and think they were good things to say. So wouldn't you want Pawlenty connected to them? But I think the state party made the connection pretty well when they promoted the speech and the comments in their newsletter and on their website. As a leader of the Republican Party Pawlenty should now repudiate the baseless comments. Using moveon.org and Michael Moore to paint all Democrats is very disingenuous. 9/11 brought the country together and Congress voted almost unanimously to go to war in Afghanistan to defeat the people who attacked us on 9/11. Moveon is an independent group and Michael Moore is a hack. Neither speaks for the Democratic Party.
Trillin: This is from your blog: "In general you do not see much 'national' stuff on my blog as I just don't see it as really falling into the scope of what I like to write about."
This was one of your excuses for not commenting on what Durbin said. But for some reason, this does not apply to Rove's comments.
Once again: what's good for the goose, is good for the gander.
nk2134: Rove never said "Democrat" and he specifically mention MoveOn.org. He used the phrase "Liberal."
This is a part of Rove's speech:
In the wake of 9/11, conservatives believed it was time to unleash the might and power of the United States military against the Taliban. In the wake of 9/11, the liberals believed it was time to submit a petition.
I'm not joking.
Submitting a petition was precisely what Moveon.org, then known as 9/11peace.org did. You may have seen it in The New York Times or The Washington Post, the San Francisco Examiner or the L.A. Times. (Funny, I didn't see it in the Amarillo Globe News.) It was a petition that "implored the powers that be" to "use moderation and restraint in responding to the terrorist attacks against the United States."
if you bothered to read the entire comment, instead of taking this one part out, I went on the explain that I chose to comment on this and the Shiavo situations as they had a personal connection to me.
I clearly state that, and you leave it out to try and make me look bad.
So instead, here is the ENTIRE comment i made so you can not try and misquote me again:
" Tony,
As you know I greatly respect you and your thoughts.
In general you do not see much "national" stuff on my blog as I just don't see it as really falling into the scope of what I like to write about.
In general though, I am not a Howard Dean fan. Frankly, I wish he would go back to VT and bother them. When he opens his mouth I tend to cringe. Yet, to be honest, at the same time, his insults I try to treat with the same, "give me a break" attitude as those that the GOP often throws around, and So I do not give it coverage because it is juvenile.
As for the Durbin comments, I again go back to it not being really in the scope of what i try to talk about. In addition, I do not know a lot about the whole situation as I can only really read so much news in one day without being fired for lack of work being done.
Although, I have posted one time on a letter to the editor dealing with Gitmo the other week.
In general though, I do not have a good feel for the topic, so I stay away from it rather then offer personal comment on something I know little about. That is why my only post is a letter to the editor written by someone who seems to have a much better understanding then I.
The Rove comment evoked this anger because of the personal nature that 911 has with me. Much like the Schivo posts a long time back, 911 is personal to me as I lost friends that day. it is not a political hot potato in my mind.
I hope this addresses your comments."
Trillin: I did read the whole post.
I didn't "misquote" you. I copied a small section of your long winded post word for word.
If you can make a connection with Rove's statement, than you could make a connection with Durbin's comments.
You just chose not to.
I wonder why?
Why will you not repudiate Tom Cruise's comments?
Do you agree with this well-know Democrat's position on mental health issues?
I think you are confusing my blog with Defamer. We cover politics, not Hollywood.
Trillin: You talked about David
Duke, but failed to note that Robert Byrd is the Democrat's "conscience
of the senate" where as David Duke was shunned by the GOP as a pariah.

Seeing how all you do is throw more and more things my way, yet never take any responsibility for your own side, I am ending this "dialogue"
You keep saying take responsibility for dems saying this, or that. And I respond with my own views on it.
You?
you just continue to insult people, the memory of my dead friends, and my family who is currently serving our country.
You want to continue to insult the dead and the military, go ahead.
I am ending this on my part.
As well as future comments on your blog. I will not engage in dialogue with someone who insults the memory of my dead friends, or my family that have served this country in the military since WW2
Trillin: I don't think Liberals are unpatriotic, I just think they are wrong.
I believe Karl Rove's comments were right.
It must be a vast left wing conspiracy, then!
And though it probably doesn't even merit a response, no one but Tom Cruise and perhaps his employers bear any responsibility for what Tom Cruise says. Karl Rove is a White House Deputy Chief of Staff for policy, a position that your and my taxes pay the salary for. He is a government official, and not even employed in a position that would inherently require overt partisanship. You and I pay him for what he says, and he directly represents the President of the United States of America. If he says, for example, "China sucks", it isn't just Karl Rove, it's the federal government of the United States. And unless he or his boss say otherwise, the President of the United States speaks through him. He isn't allowed to make comments like he did while his salary is paid for, in part, by the liberals he demonizes.
North Star Politics said it well about Rove. Rove can't have it both ways - he tries to make it about all Democrats (because Democrats are all liberals), but then also tries to say he's talking about only some democrats. Rove's comments are similar to Howard Dean's comments about the Republicans being the party of "White Christians". Dean in this case meant the Leviticus Crowd (which is the same thing Jesse Ventura meant when he made the Religion is a sham and a crutch" comment) - and Rove meant the moveon types.
A pox on both of them.
Tom Cruise knows L. Ron
