Biden Claims a GOP 'Blitzkrieg'By Michael McAuliffVice President Biden is out with an alarmed e-mail cash appeal warning that the GOP will mount a "blitzkrieg" against Democrats in the fall.
Comparing GOP tactics to the fast-striking forces of Nazi Germany, Biden warns in a message sent by the DCCC today:
"As things heat up, you can expect House Democrats will be hit with a GOP blitzkrieg of vicious Swift-Boat-style attack ads, Karl Rove-inspired knockout tactics, thinly veiled attempts at character assassination and tea party disruptions."And while the GOP is mounting a blitzkrieg, Democrats are the allies.
"Our Democratic allies in the House need your help, and the President and I hope we can count on you to come to their defense so we can hold onto our Democratic Majority and continue moving American forward in a new direction," Biden writes in the appeal.
Subtle? Not so much.
Update: Republicans were not amused by the implications of the e-mail.
Kevin Smith, spokesman for Minority Leader John Boehner, e-mailed a comment that seems sure to get under Democrats? skins: "When will Democrats learn that invoking the Nazis' crimes against humanity in a political debate is simply inappropriate"?
