Frist tries to get on both sides of the threats against members of the judiciary debate.

See his speech before James Dobson’s Sunday night rally for the claim that Democrats are against believers in God.

You’ll note that in coverage of Frist’s speech many reporters have bought into his spinners’ claim that Frist is coming out against threats against the judiciary. But of course he’s giving a speech at a pep rally for the people orchestrating the most extreme attacks on the judiciary. And he’s doing nothing but dishing out praise for them. So as I said, Frist is trying to position himself on both sides of the threats against members of the judiciary debate. But actions speak louder than words.
