Here's your shot at giving Hatred-Powered Howard a taste of his own sauce....I've been told he's a real scream.

Dean will speak to a gathering of the Young Democrats of Arizona at 11 a.m. today at the Burton Barr Central Library, 1221 N. Central Ave., Phoenix.

Oops! Sorry for the lack of a link.

That's a good point Delay's office made. Dean thinks we should not pre-judge Osama, but we SHOULD pre-judge a United States Senator. Hmm...

Whatever I thought about Delay before, he just grows in my esteem the more bile thrown at him by Dean & his ilk.

Liberal take on current legal issues:

- Due process for Saddam, Osama and any Gitmo terro using the Koran for a toilet plunger!

-Hillary, the world's smartest woman and future Presidential contender, is again an innocent victim of campaign advisors who were corrupted by the VRWC (aka, the dark side)

-Put Tom DeLay in jail NOW!

[ZULU]

"Howard Dean, national chairman of the Democratic Party, said Tuesday that he thinks House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has committed crimes that could put the Republican in jail."

So?

I think Reid belongs in a padded cell and straight-jacket.

The depths to which this clown Reid has sunken as chief DemocRAT Senatorial procurer should be enough to insure his loss in the next Nevadan campaign.

He just sinks lower and lower. What a jerk.

Howard Dean addresses the MoveOn.org shock troops after their coup seizing the democrat party.

Scratch a Liberal. Uncover a Fascist.

Howard dean. A class act all the way. How the RATS expect any normal person to vote for them is beyond me. Crazy howie, filthy harry, and the rest of their rogue's gallery are a national embarrasment, yet the RAT media aids and abets them with a straight face.

I personally think Howard Dean needs to be sent to a deprogramming camp to purge him of his NAZI-like tendencies. Fortunately for him, and for Tom Delay, people's opinions aren't more important than the findings of a court of law.

Scratch a Liberal. Uncover a Fascist.

Correcto! People forget that Hitler lead the National SOCIALIST WORKERS Party!

[dhs12345]

Pretty simple: glass houses and stones.

If they want to go after Delay then they better be prepared to have the same done to them starting with Hillary.

They went after Clarence Thomas for sexual harassment. Conservatives impeached Clinton for lying to investigators of a sexual harassment case.

A thought: it could be a smoke screen cover for Hillary. Maybe there was evidence that she was complicit and the best defense is a good offense.

[Inwoodian]

Give this asshole a padded cell and a jacket with the arms in the back. Tell him he can scream as loud as he wants," I'm important. Listen to me. It's the evil Republicans or the bicycle path or right wing..."

[Josh Painter]

Actually, DeLay's a U.S. Rep. Majority Leader of the House, in fact.

[.cnI redruM]

He's too funny. Let him run around in public and encourage more people to donate to the RNC.

[PhiKapMom]

Howard Dean -- the gift that keeps on giving to Republicans. He turned a lot of people off when he came to Oklahoma and now he is visiting another red state. So glad they decided to pick Dean. He keeps opening his mouth and inserting foot.

[lilylangtree]

Agree with you. Tom DeLay is an honorable man.

[CIDKauf]

He needs to be de-briefed

Dean: DeLay Worse Than Osama?

Howard Dean has a well-known problem of foot chewing, and he indulged himself again yesterday on his new favorite subject, Tom DeLay. Despite the lack of any criminal investigation into DeLay -- and the bogged-down ethics allegations that have now enveloped a host of Democrats along with the GOP House whip -- Dean just can't stop declaring DeLay guilty before even being indicted:

"There's corruption at the highest level of the Republican Party, and they're going to have to face up to that one of these days, because the law is closing in on Tom DeLay," Dean said in a telephone interview before heading to an appearance today in Phoenix.
"I think he's guilty . . . of taking trips paid for by lobbyists, and of campaign-finance violations during his manipulation of the Texas election process," Dean said.

The DNC chairman sang a completely different tune in the winter of 2003, when asked if he supported the death penalty for Osama bin Laden. As the Arizona Republic and Tom DeLay's office recalls, not only did Dean evade that question, he scolded people for assuming bin Laden's guilt before a jury reached a verdict (also noted here at CQ in December 2003):

"I've resisted pronouncing a sentence before guilt is found," Dean said during the 2004 Democratic primary campaign. "I still have this old-fashioned notion that even with people like Osama, who is very likely to be found guilty, we should do our best not to, in positions of executive power, not to prejudge jury trials."

So what the chair of the Democratic National Committee has pronounced is a dual standard of jurisprudence, one in which Republicans have less due process than Islamofascist terrorists that have declared war on America and murdered thousands of Americans. In the World According To Howard Dean, we must not presume the guilt of bin Laden for mass murder -- but Tom DeLay, as an eeeeevil Republican, deserves no presumption of innocence for campaign-finance and ethics violations.

How long will the Democrats allow this lunatic to represent them as the head of the party?

He chose them, not vice versa. He hijacked their apparatus to get himself ahead.

I think Reid belongs in a padded cell and straight-jacket.

Put Dean in there with him! What a complete LUNATIC! Thanks DEMS! You couldn't have chosen a better example for the leader of your party!
