Your tagline: "Well, a Democratic socialist ...is basically a liberal Democrat" - Howard Dean - DNC Chairman

I'm not a fan of Democratic Socialists or liberal Democrats, but you're using an ellipse to change what Dean said. He said that Bernie Sanders calls himself a Democratic Socialist but is really more of a liberal Democrat.

There are far worse sins than taking Howard Dean out of context, but we have the facts on our side; no need not to play it straight.

The full text of the sentence:

Dean: Well, a Democratic socialist--all right, we're talking about words here. And Bernie can call himself anything he wants. He is basically a liberal Democrat

Here is the post that I took the quote from.

Granted he was talking about one specific, self proclaimed 'Democratic Socialist'. But, I think my tagline is still appropriate. Also note Taranto's comment in the post linked above.

Thanks!

"we have the facts"

Your right! Republicans couldn't ask for a better man to run the DNC. He will run them off the political map. Every time I read about his latest antics... I wonder, is Dean trying to reach out to the San Francisco liberals. He is wasting the Democrats energy re-fighting the 2004 primary IMHO.
