"Moderate Republicans can't stand these people (conservatives), because they're intolerant. They don't think tolerance is a virtue," Dean said, adding: "I'm not going to have these right-wingers throw away our right to be tolerant."
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."

Who will visit Lawrence next to speak of tolerance? Quantrill?
Death to the intolerant right-wingers!!!!!-Howard Dean
While Bush's leadership is changing the world, Dean bitches about inside baseball crap no one cares about.
I love it when the Dims pretend to speak for the American People, and now with Dean, they want to pretend to now speak for the Moderate Republicans.
How utterly clueless they are as to how arrogant they appear.
And the left wing has tolerance for who, other than themselves?
Howard "The Coward" Deanie-weenie = Mentally-ill.
Good grief, he's still at it. How pathetic.
SO did Doctor Dean perform abortions or not?
You gotta love this guy. The Dems are brain dead.
I guess this means that we need to worry about losing Kansas?
The good Dr.Dean is performing an abortion on the Democratic party, removing all the moderate elements from the party.
I think it's time to retire the battle between the liberals and the conservatives and think about the schism more productively and helpfully as the movement of the wholists as opposed by the fragmentalists. The former thinks of society as a united, integral whole while the fragmentalists are trying to divide society into as many different categories and special interest designations as possible, of which they can be the experts and spokespersons. That is essentially what the fragmentalists have to do to justify and sustain themselves -- produce that division, and the resulting conflict from that division. So they must always produce conflict as their reason for being.
Life without the conflict is unthinkable to them. Unless they can produce that division, how else can they distinguish themselves as the elite that should be leading, thinking and acting for the masses -- and being entitled to privileged status and high-paying jobs in a truly egalitarian society. So what is distinctive about all they do is proving how much smarter and deserving they are over everybody else -- and they don't see why others are so stupid they cannot recognize their obvious superiority, especially the president and those that egregiously mistake them for the busboy rather than the governor.
So extant liberals are invariably these people obsessed with their status vis-a-vis everybody else. Their essays and speech are invariably about how much smarter they are than everybody else -- and particularly the president. Because of affirmative action status or some other imagined or fabricated defect, they are entitled to lie, cheat and steal to get ahead, and not just to get even. Getting even is for the masses -- which assuredly, they don't intend to be.
In a previous day and age, they would have been kings and queens; now they are just our liberals. Isn't that obvious?
So what does this have to do with the old conservatives versus the new conservatives?
That's just it: trying to introduce another division and conflict in the integral whole. That's what the liberals/demagogues do -- create a division they can exploit. But we've been smart enough not to fall for their bait. That is a testimony to the much great sophistication in the public -- which the media doesn't want us to know about.
They would prefer that we believe there is no intelligent life "out there," but they, the media is the height of intelligence in the world because that is all we are allowed to see. But because of the Internet and direct meetings with people, we know that what the muck-a-mucks on high tell us is true may not be the whole story -- only what they would like us to think.
And then some liberal will chime, "How can you all be so suspicious about the media and journalists -- after all, they're practically working for free, as a self-less public service, with no designs of being the next media god at CBS. Honestly."
I suppose like Boulder in CO, the "flaw on the Kaw", Lawrence--home of the KU "jayhawk", an obnoxious red & blue, toucan-like, cartoonish creature--exists in a political black-hole, circa 1971. I'm sure Howie felt right at home. I am happy to report that the rest of Kansas remains normal.
The Dem governor of Kansas, Sibelius...skipped out on Dean's appearance..she had a scheduling conflict..she had to inventory the paper clips in the state capitol...nuff said..
To quote the Day After
This Lawrence ... Lawrence Kansas .... is anybody there??
