We've documented how WorldNetDaily columnist Bob Just keeps portraying himself as a Democrat while apparently supporting no Democratic Party positions and telling people to vote for Republicans. Indeed, before the 2018 midterm elections, he wrote a column headlined "To my fellow Dems: Yes, vote -- but vote Republican!"
Just is doing much the same thing in his June 29 column, similarly headlined "Democrats can save our party – by voting Republican." He immediately discredits himself as a real Democrat by using right-wing lingustic corruptions like "Democrat leaders" and "Democrat U.S. senators" when "Democratic" is the gramatically and factually correct word. Just does a lot of fawning over the late radio host and fellow WND columnist Barry Farber and repeated an old column he wrote in which he ranted about "New Fascist" and the "cold civil war" and generally sounded like a right-winger, then went into his pro-Republican spiel:
Younger Democrats may be shocked to read this considering it was written so long ago, and by a fellow Democrat. They should take a hard look at the angry faces of our party leaders and ask themselves: Is this what we want our future to look like?
They need to join the national conversation on talk radio, listen to the arguments and get informed. That's what free-thinkers do. And then – quietly if necessary – they need to vote Republican. If they do not, they won't have a future that is recognizably American.
[...]
Democrats can actually save our party by voting against it. How else can we turn our leaders away from their dangerous "party first" behavior and life-draining policies? But first we must be willing to see the truth. This election won't really be about President Trump's "character," although my party will try to make it so. It will be about the character of the Democrat voter.
If we can watch our party leaders and their toadies in Washington break every imaginable rule of conduct – baseless investigations, lying accusations in public (contradicting private testimony under oath), framing an innocent man to protect their political power, leaking classified documents to subvert a presidency and disgracing us before the whole world with a pathetic political impeachment – and despite all that and much more, like hiding key evidence and breaking privacy laws, if we still vote Democrat, then something is terribly wrong, and not with Republicans.
This is not who we are as Democrats – and we must not accept it – or vote for it!
We don't recall Just objecting to baseless investigations and attempts to subvert a presidence when conservatives were doing that to Barack Obama. But, again, he's not actually a Democrat.
Nobody should accept that Just is a Democrat, no matter how much he continues to insist that he is.
