Dean Says Conservatives Are 'Evil' (HE'S BAAAAACK!!!)

Newsmax ^ | 3/2/05

This time, Democratic Party chief Howard Dean didn't have to scream to get attention.

The former presidential candidate told party faithful at a Kansas fund-raiser last week that the party's conservative opponents are "evil," according to the Lawrence Journal-World.

"This is a struggle of good and evil," he told the gathered activists, who

paid $100 apiece to hear the new Democratic chairman. "And we're the good."

Republican reaction came fast and furious.

Derrick Sontag, executive director of the Kansas Republican Party, was "shocked" by Dean's comments. Said Sontag: "My immediate reaction to that

whole dialogue is it's full of hatred. The Democratic Party has elected a

leader that's full of hatred."

Media weren't allowed at the meeting, where Dean provided hungry donors with plenty of red meat amid the "Dean for America" signs. But Dean spoke over a public address system in the backyard of a private home, making it easy for the Journal-World's reporters to listen in.

At one point, Dean asserted that "moderate Republicans can't stand these

people [conservatives] because they're intolerant. They don't think

tolerance is a virtue." He added, "I'm not going to have these right-wingers

throw away our right to be tolerant."

Borrowing a phrase from former President Bill Clinton, Dean also said the

party must commit to making abortions "safe, legal and rare" while

maintaining a woman's rights to choose.

"The issue is not abortion," Dean told the closed-door crowd. "The issue is

whether women can make up their own mind instead of some right-wing pastor, some right-wing politician telling them what to do."

Kansas Democratic Party executive director Mark Simpson was unavailable to

say how much the party raised at the private home of Lawrence, Kansas,

residents John and Nancy Hiebert. But the appearance, along with a nearby

$5-a-head rally that drew 1,000 party loyalists, provided the state party

with much-needed cash, the paper reported.

Apparently, the Democratic chairman's public rally was more positive than

his private message to party insiders.

"It was wonderful, very energizing, a very positive, powerful message," said

Micheline Burger, who attended the large gathering. "It gives me a hope

there's a good future ahead of us, as opposed to what we've been having the

last four years."

How many Republicans firebombed homes? Like the one in Richfield, Minnesota? What you say, that one had a Bush/Cheney sign? Never mind.

"The issue is not abortion," Dean told the closed-door crowd. "The issue is whether women can make up their own mind instead of some right-wing pastor, some right-wing politician telling them what to do."

Well, if this is true, then they should have no problems with parental notifications, adoption counseling, etc. But we all know that's not true.

If anyone misses the fine renaissance hand of Hillary in all this "Loose Cannon on the decks" business, the line forms over there.
Let's put Deaniac on "IGNORE".
He and they deserve it.

The truth is that Dean is only a Poster Boy for the rest of the elitists who have taken over Vermont!

[jmhfnyc]

"He thinks he's the Chairman of the Manicheist Party."

Sounds very Zoroatrian to me. Thus Spake Dean!

Please, please don't let anyone shut this man up - he is the gift that keeps on giving!!! :)

These clowns cannot get off their 'text book' track. Here goes Dean-ocrat accusing the right of BEING EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE -- EVIL

I agree. Dean knows that however perverted his cause is, everyone wants to think they are righteous--even liberal Democrats who can't hold a marriage together, who justify baby killing, who justify sodomite unions.

Rinos need to learn something from Dean--who almost got their nomination, that a true call to righteousness and liberty in this country--not just a message of economic prosperity--is what the American people are waiting for.

Think how many votes Castro would get if he was running also.

Do these people seriously not realize that the remarks they make toward conservatives are intolerant of conservatives? If you preach that you must be tolerant of all ideologies and classes then you must be tolerant of those whose ideology appears less tolerant than yours. It's logical.

You're quite correct, it is hypocritical of dems to denounce others for being intolerant and turn around and be much more intolerant themselves. Perhaps you've noticed, logic and common sense is not a strong suit with the left. The views of the left are very much emotional ones bypassing logic and reason.

Actually it's, Evil, Wicked, Mean and Nasty, according to John Kay.
Sorry I'm and old Steppenwolf fan. (HEY DEAN - YOU NEED MORE MEDS!!) Hell no! He's the best player on our team.

Thanks Mr. Dean, and I note your tolerence expressed in your statement "I hate republicans and all they stand for".

A little bit of a hypocrite are we Mr Dean? And an intolerant one at that.

[farmer18th]

Thanks Mr. Dean, and I note your tolerence expressed in your statement "I hate republicans and all they stand for".

Just because Dean isn't qualified to use good v evil rhetoric, don't throw out the baby with Dean's dirty water. It was Ronald Reagan who called the Soviet Union an "evil empire." That was one of the true moments of clarity in American statesmanship.

[F.J. Mitchell]

When Mad and mean Doctor Dean, calls you evil-it's alright to gloat just a little bit over what a nice person you must surely be.

I would agree -- Washington needs to change its course, away from the their own personal politics, and get back on track with America and its founding principles. The mindless masses of the left do not care about America, only thier own selfish interests, while I still hold out hope that true conservative patriots want their country back on track, the same track that built this country 200 years ago. A government FOR AND BY THE PEOPLE. That is a winning ticket.

"I'm not going to have these right-wingers throw away our right to be tolerant."

What an @ss. Tolerance? From a Leftist? ROFLMAO! Are these the same "tolerant" folk who keyed the Bush/Cheney bumper sticker off of my car?

"The issue is not abortion," Dean told the closed-door crowd. "The issue is whether women can make up their own mind instead of some right-wing pastor, some right-wing politician telling them what to do."

I'm sure John Lee Malvo feels the same way. The issue is not about taking pot-shots at people in the DC area from the trunk of a car, it's about whether a young man can make up his own mind instead of some right-wing sheriff, some right-wing lawmaker telling him what to do.

Shalom.
