Why is it a "tirade"? What makes it a Republican "tirade"? And, why is it wrong?
No tirades please.

Can't think of his name at the moment but there's a Republican Senator from either Georgia or South Carolina who went on quite a tirade about the evils of liberalism and how it has affected the Democratic Party .
It was a little extreme , but the bottom-line is that he was right !!

Bill O'Reilly's "war on Christmas" by the secularists.
It is wrong, because he is blaming a very small portion of the population for the decisions made by none other than the CEOs running Corporate America to be more inclusive of all people (eg: to make more money) for the December holidays.
2nd tirade example: Bush complaining during a press conference that the Democrat-controlled congress hasn't sent him a war spending bill. Well, Congress DID send Bush a bill for $50 billion dollars, that he promptly vetoed.
Congress has legal control over the purse strings, not the President. If Congress decides he is only going to get $50 billion, then that is the war budget Bush has to work with.
For Bush to go on TV and proclaim that the soldiers are not going to get their money is ridiculous and false. Bush is the one who vetoed the bill, not Congress.

I can only think of one and regrettably so....
When so-called Republican Ron Paul got up on the debate stage and waved the 9/!! Commission's Report in the air as though it were a legitimate basis for foreign policy thus, inferring that we as Americans deserved 9/!!.
I will always hold that moment in my memory as one of the worse in modern US history.

An obvious answer to your question would be Richard Mellon Scaife's tirade to Karen Rothmyer when he called her a "f**king Communist c**t" and issued a threat to her wellbeing.
Was it wrong? I should hope that you can see that it was!

There are too many to choose from.
Cheney went on a tirade while claiming Iraq was involved with the attack on 9/11. Cheney even told a Senator "f__ you". I'd call that a tirade. The Vice President of the United States said that to a Senator on the floor.
"Vice President Dick Cheney has said he didn't regret cursing at Sen. Patrick Leahy earlier this week, and said he felt better after the incident."

If you can't stick your fork into a bowl of spaghetti, and pull out a specific noodle, does that mean the spaghetti doesn't exist?
Well that is a good example of what you are speaking of, and is exactly the way neocons think.

Oldy, but still appropriate: "I am not a crook." Richard M. Nixon.
