What Dean meant to say was "I want to get the vote of the southerner with the GUN RACK in the back of his pickup.

The moron confused race and RKBA in his pea-brain, and shot himself in the foot.

GUN RACK

If he'd said that, the EMT's would still be trying to revive the other 8 candidates.

He didn't really shoot himself in the foot, he loaded the gun and handed it to the other Democratic candidates who proceeded to shoot him and themselves.

There ARE a LOT of people in the South wearing Confederate flag shirts and Confederate flag license plates and the vast majority of them are not racist. Of course every Democratic candidate came out and called them all racists today and some intimated that they didn't want their votes at all. Dean, rather than ride it out, had to come out and suggest that he reeeeally didn't mean what he said. Anybody that imagines that there are not a lot of rebel flags on a lot of trucks in the South is lying or blind. The Southern politicians of course have to come out jumping on all of them by pretending that nobody in the South has a Confederate flag anymore except a few racists. Allllll B.S. all around.

Its very funny, many of the people Dean hoped to attract by his statement are now sitting at home watching this on tv wondering why they would ever vote for candidates who have no idea who they are and instead stereotype and sacrifice them on the altar of political correctness for momentary politcal gain.

Dean's comment was not smart since he should have known that it would make a great sound bite for beating him over the head with. But the comment itself was correct. None of these jokers are going to be successful demonizing rural southerners and NRA members. The others were willing to sacrifice southern votes next November in exchange for an immediate tool to beat Dean over the head with now. I'm amused.

A lot of people are assuming that just because the NAACP and the Democratic Party view the Confederate flag as a racist symbol that everyone who has it on their truck views it like they do. Arrogance. I've got a Confederate flag, proud of it, and I voted for Muskie Harris for Governor here (black) and I supported Alan Keyes (black) and I adore Condoleeza Rice. It's anathema in their party to consider me anything but a racist because of my little car decal. Just like its common practice in their party to call everyone with an NRA sticker a "gun nut". They don't have my vote or the vote of a great many like me and are not likely to get it back.

Then the other 8 dwarfs would have jumped him for being in the pocket of the NRA. The Dems PC pandering over the last 20 years has them to the point where they simply have no appeal outside of large urban areas.
