This guy represents everthing I loathe about the baby boomers.
This article fails to mention the painfully obvious 'hate Bush and all Republicans' part of the strategy. A level of hatred which has not been created and exploited since post Civil War era. Designed to incite and bump up voter turnout.

"...including four little girls in a Birmingham church..." "The Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, the first African American justice [was appointed to] the United States Supreme Court..."
Any chance there were white people in the audience when Dean said these things?
(Didn't think so.)

"In campaign stop after campaign stop, in overheated high school gyms and smoky union halls, Dean repeatedly offers this misty-eyed homage to that turbulent decade:"
As Pat Paulsen used to say at the end of all of his political speeches (during his Presidential Campaign spoof): "In the decades to come, years will pass."
It took the press months to figure out that Paulsen was not a serious candidate and the tipoff was that he ended every speech with that line. The press finally started listening (for a change) and figured it out based on that line alone.
The rest of the country already knew that Paulsen's campaign was a prank.
As for Dean . . . didn't he die in a car wreck in the 50s?

Summon the spirit of the 60s?
Been there. Done that. No thanks, Howie.

[It is a stirring piece of rhetoric, and one that inevitably draws cheers and sustained applause for the former Vermont governor as he campaigns through this state...]
And so the Washington Compost would have us believe that 60's radicalism sells in Iowa? Give me a break.

Perhaps Dean should adopt 'Spirit in the Sky' as his campaign song?
The spirit of the 60s is a ghost for good reason.
A lot of people realized what the 60s was all about at Woodstock. People rolling in the mud, not having a place to p!ss, nothing to eat. Those with any sense put the joint down afterwards, went out and got a job.
Spirit of the 60s indeed...

Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean has a vision of where he'd like to take the nation. It turns out to be the 1960s. Progressive isn't he?
He would rather be confronting the Vietcong rather than the terrorists. LoL's!

"We felt the possibilities were unlimited then," Well, Jimmy Carter fixed all that in the 70's.

I'd say the Spirit of the Sixties is already here.
'Mean for Dean' is a distinct echo of 'Clean for Gene.'
Vice-president Hubert H. Humphrey had been campaigning for delegates in non-primary states and won the nomination at a combative Democratic National Convention taking place in Chicago on August 26-29, 1968. Some three-thousand anti-war demonstrators stood outside the convention hall. Here, McCarthy was beaten by Humphrey. That same day, the delegates to the Democratic convention voted down a Vietnam peace plan by a 1500-1000 vote.(From Woodstock to Watergate, 47)
The response to the rejected Vietnam peace plan was horrific. The three-thousand anti-war demonstrators, along with an equal amount of police and Illinois National Guardsmen fought a bloody, free-for-all battle that lasted all night. The police and Guardsmen also lead an assault in downtown Chicago on the headquarters of the Democratic National Convention. There were mass arrests and three-hundred injured as the police clubbed the defenseless demonstrators. Later, on Election Day, Hubert Humphrey lost the Presidential election to Richard Nixon.(From Watergate to Woodstock, 60-64)

We were making such enormous progress.
And then the Lefty Boomers took over, and their generation has been dragging America down ever since.
I get so tired of culturally cleaning up after these guys, and I can't wait for a Dean candidacy.
The election will be much closer than anyone here will want to believe, but at least we will finally have a chance to drive a stake into the heart of Woodstock, once and for all.
