And concluding his backyard speech with a litany of Democratic values, he added: "This is a struggle of good and evil. And we're the good."
When told of Dean's remarks, Derrick Sontag -- executive director of the Kansas Republican Party -- said he was "shocked."
"My immediate reaction to that whole dialogue is, it's full of hatred," Sontag said. "The Democratic Party has elected a leader that's full of hatred."
Oh that it were so, Mr. Dean. . ."
This from the 'people of the lie'. .
Have you noticed Dean is always braying about someone (Rush, conservatives). . "
. . and yes, Dean; like all Demrats, must always drag a Repub in; dirty him up; just to make himself look clean.
But the liberals are all moral relativists. I thought good and evil were just a matter of perspective, according to them. Oh, wait, I forgot...liberals are exempt from their own rules.
I've finally figured out a strategy for the Democratic Party. It is to become so idiotic, marginalized, and fanatically unfit as to be laughable in order to offer no real resistance to the Republican power structure. Thus will the GOP grow foolhardy, flabby, and complacent (as did the Dems) and simply defeat itself.
It's not like Dems have an actual plan against the GOP or for anything worthy. Plus, their main attack dogs have been having their teeth pulled lately by bloggers. They should just punt and live to fight another day, it would take a lot less energy than all this posing and puffing...they need the attention, I guess.
Nothing could be better for Republicans and conservatives that Dean, a man who never read the job description for DNC Chair, holds that job. He is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

Yes, well, if Dean and the Dems didn't think their beliefs were rightful and just, and that all opposed were at least badly misguided (and perhaps evil,) they wouldn't hold those beliefs, now would they? And of course, the same applies to the Nazis, Communists, Socialists, Greens, Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Republicans, Neocons, Paleocons and "Moderates." Such is the nature of disagreements over the fundamental premises used to decide right from wrong.
O Lord, deliver us from the good people. Amen.
And .. they show their "tolerance" by being intolerant of conservatives.
Yeah, I get that! It's full of hatred.
That's gonna be a tough sell.
Wonder how many of the 1,000(if there were 1,000) were rolling their eyes and/or embarassed... or just left... Dean is in your face smoke.. no doubt, not all inhaled..
In the last 22 Presidential elections, Kansas has gone Democratic 3 times--in the Roosevelt landslides of 1932 and 1936 (in the latter case defeating a Kansan, Alf Landon), and in the LBJ landslide of 1964. No doubt Dean is correct when he says there are Democrats in every county in Kansas. Take Wallace County, for example. I don't have the 2004 figures, but in 2000 it showed 103 votes for Gore, against 737 for Bush...more than 7-1 in Bush's favor, but Gore did get some votes.
I don't know why this wasn't higher up earlier. This is something that needs to be noted at the highest levels.
Can you imagine if the Chairman of the Republican National Committee called Democrats "evil"?
Remember all the flack that various Republicans got for saying much more mild things?
I can't wait for the interviewer who calls him on this, 'Dr. Dean, just who are you calling "evil"? President Bush? All Republicans? Conservatives? What, precisely is it about them that is evil?'
Inquiring minds want to know.
I'm sure these comments will be reported all over the MSM tomorrow. /sarcasm
In other words he's saying "We must spread the virus".
One starts to wonder if Dean is working for Rove.
I was born and grew to adulthood about 80 miles up river from Lawrence, Kansas, home of Kansas University. Lawrence was just as crazy then as it apparently is now. In my youth, almost every public urinal had a sign above the handle saying, 'please flush, K.U. needs the water'. I imagine they're still there.
