For those of you just waiting for Howard Dean to start making gaffes, see the Saturday Washington Post account of his tour through the party's special-interest caucuses. I'm somewhat shocked the Post publicized this little tour. For pure, unadulterated Dean, you get this: "You are among the most persecuted people in the history of mankind," Dean tells his first audience, the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Caucus. Let's hope the African-American caucus didn't hear that. (Not to mention anyone who remembers the Holocaust, the Huguenots, throwing Christians to the lions...)
As for what Dean said to the black caucus, he kicks the GOP in the groin. "He surveys the crowd of 150 crammed into the room. 'You think the RNC could get this many people of color into a single room?' he marvels. 'Maybe if they got the hotel staff in there.'"
It's also somewhat entertaining to read Dean trying to adopt spin control about the party's ultraliberalism. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20050213/ap_on_el_ge/democrats
Dean says that no one is "pro-abortion," but "we are the party in favor of allowing women to make up their own minds about their health care." And Democrats are not for "gay marriage," but "we are the party that has always believed in equal rights under the law for all people." Voters are smart enough to know that the Democrats are staunch defenders of abortion and homosexuality, whatever rhetorical embroidery Dean attempts. How he will help in red states with this kind of talk is a mystery. Posted at 08:48 AM
Lets figure out a keyword for any comments Dean makes so we can bring them up in a search at a moments notice.
How true, I feel like every day is Christmas now.
How about - DEANKEYWORD
How about 'manna'?:-)
The Dean Scream.
Well, if this is not absolute proof that there is a God. :)
Dean becoming DNC Chair was a huge prayer request of many Freepers, and I'd bet even some atheist Freepers tossed up a few in this effort.
Sometimes life is good!
It is probably true that the GOP will have trouble fitting 150 "people of color" (to use Dean's phrase) into a room. Why? Probably because they are too busy traveling around the globe (as Secretary of State), sitting on the Supreme Court, and doing many other important and useful things for our country.
This is going to be so much FUN!!!
Very happy that this info was posted on NRO, but we need this stuff out to the general public every day!!! This guy, Howard Dean is a madman!!! I wonder if the likes of Tim Russett or Chris Matthews will ever call him to task on these comments, etc. I know FNC surely will!!! I hope Hannity and O'Reilly have invites out the the madman.
I wonder how the new "centrist" schrillary is taking all this.............incoming ash trays........
Sam I can't figure this out....why would they allow this hothead to be their figurehead......there has to be something going on here we aren't privy to.
keyword "Doctor Demento" maybe
Is Dean gay? I thought I heard someone on Fox News say yesterday that Dean is gay. Can you help me?
Does a Lemming strategize before jumping.......?
