Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean, unapologetic in the face of recent criticism that he has been too tough on his political opposition, said in San Francisco this week that Republicans are "pretty much a monolithic party. They all behave the same. They all look the same. It's pretty much a white Christian party."

Does this mean we now have to claim, whether we want them or not, the likes of George Lincoln Rockwell, David Duke, Orville Faubus, Cardinal Mahoney, Jimmah Catarrh...?

Frankly, I don't mind being called a white Christian.

I wouldn't mind being called a black Christian either. It's the Christian part that's important.

[Rebelbase]

Coming from a guy who was gov. of a state that is 97% white.

Amen, brother!

Are we sure this guy isn't Karl Rove's sleeper agent?

[dmanLA]

Dr. Dean, wrong...

Christian, not white...and republican.

Keep it up and all Christians will be republican (if they aren't already)!

More and more with each rhetorical barb, Dean reminds me of another man who liked to shout about people of faith.

Ich bin in meinem Leben sehr oft Prophet gewesen und wurde meistens ausgelacht. In der Zeit meines Kampfes um die Macht war es in erster Linie das jüdische Volk, daß nur mit Gelächter meine Prophezeiungen hinnahm, ich würde einmal in Deutschland die Führung des Staates und damit der ganzen Nation übernehmen, und dann, unter vielen andern, auch das jüdische Problem zur Lösung bringen.

Dean calls GOP 'a white Christian party'

Gee, hate speech from the head of the DNC. Shocker.And we all know what a huge insult it is be called a Christian.

Next, Democratic National Committee chairman Dean will appear with Sen Robert Byrd and simply call the GOP what he really means - the Ku Klux Klan. He's a pathetic wretch. And worse are the sheeple who nod their heads in agreement with him, instead of pointing him out for the hate talking, race baiter that he is.

I sure hope not.

[nuke rocketeer]

Damn, you were goin' good until the A&M crack!

[RedTail]

Please send money to the Republicans for Dean's Mouth Fund. Dean must remain the Democratic Party's voice!

[F.J. Mitchell]

Dr Dean-the only sawbones to ever do surgery with his tongue. Compared to his tongue he discovered that scalpels were as dull as his wits.

[lainie]

toward the end of the quote, Real Mad Howard called "Villarosa's" [sic] election in Los Angeles "incredibly important for the democratic party."

[perfect stranger]

You just did the same thing he did!!!

Yes, I did. I went for the opposite extreme and then used it as humor.

When you're done sulking let us know.

[WVNan]

I think that is my favorite statement that I've read anywhere concerning liberal views on christianity. May I have your permission to quote you?

[clintonh8r]

The only angle I can figure is that he has a hell of a severance deal and he's trying everything he can to get fired. Personally I hope they make him Chairman for Life.

[pepperdog]

The man is truly unbalanced!

San Freakcisco, and you cannot get any more LEFT than that, geographically or politically :-) Yes, the left's fine voting base, every freak, degenerate, misfit, bum, loser, and gutter rat....

And that is just the mayor's staff...
