Dear Media Lurkers

DNC Chairman Howard Dean in the past said he wanted to cut Social Security.... can one of you please ask him if he still wants to take money from grandmoms across America.

Thank you.

1995? When liberals are talking about liberals, something said ten years ago is ancient history.

Dear Media Lurkers

I have nothing but contempt for you. I have lived to see the day that nobody has to read or listen to your Anti-American filth anymore.

Please go to the nearest International Airport and get a one-way ticket out of here.

Imagine this:

According to the 1995 Newhouse News Service article, Dean said the way to balance the budget is for Congress to move the retirement age to 70, cut defense, Social Security, Medicare and veterans pensions, and then have the states cut almost everything else. At the time, Dean was Vermont's governor and chairman of the National Governors Association.

Howie wanted to TAKE MONEY FROM GRANDMOM'S ACROSS AMERICA.

And Dean is the gift that keeps on giving.

When did the Orwellian term "misspeak" become the substitute for the accurate and to-the-point verb "lie"?

[Drango]

Mispeaks?

Dear Media Lurkers,

I hate you all. Please die homeless and penniless and 40 lbs overweight.

Moron puts jack boot into oversized mouth. The first of many, many pedo-oral combinations in the long, long years ahead for the hateful loser democrat party.

Dear Media Lurkers:

Howard Dean is a hater. He hates Republicans. He said so the other day. Or have you forgotten that already?

Thank you.

[Mears]

Ahaaaaah! The "gotchas" are coming already.

Dean should go back to his nice,non ethnically diverse state,and shut his big,fat mouth.

[Dog]

I'm off to find out if Dean spoke on private savings accounts for Social Security.

[silent_jonny]

When did the Orwellian term "misspeak" become the substitute for the accurate and to-the-point verb "lie"?

The same time that a liberal was accused of (or caught) lying.

[secret garden]

The clintons started it.

[zeebee]

Dean will be payback for what they did to Newt.

[Miss Marple]

As my husband said, Howard Dean is going to try to be in President Bush's face at every opportunity. He will be all over the talk shows, hurling accusations and insults.

The advantage for us is that he is arrogant and sounds like a nut ball.

In addition, I would like to point out this amazing coincidence:

At the very time that Howard Dean, internet fund-raiser and web logger pioneer, is ascending to the post of DNC chair, we suddenly have all these infiltrators and internet attacks. Coincidence? I think not.

Hey! What're you people doing comparing what I say to what I said in the past? I thought we had a deal. Bloody MSM! -Howard Dean (about 5000 times in the future)

[MediaMole]

If you are a media poster, are you still a media lurker?

[joedelta]

Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean (search) said Wednesday that he misspoke when he told the AFL-CIO he never favored raising the retirement age for Social Security (search) benefits to age 70.

OK, help me follow the bouncing logic here...

When Dean says he never said something he is on record as saying, he simply mispoke.

When W says something that is backed by the CIA and every intel organization on the planet, it is a lie.

Alas, we are losing the language.

The beauty of the internet is the ability to instantly tear liberal lies to shreds. They will fade into the dust bin of history.
