Dean: Dem Poll Workers Can't Tell GOP Voters Apart
ScrappleFace ^ | June 08, 2005 | Scott Ott

Posted on 06/08/2005 8:25:29 AM PDT by NewMediaFan

Many Republicans probably voted for George Bush dozens, if not hundreds, of times in 2004, according to Democrat party Chairman Howard Dean, "by taking advantage of the fact that Democrat poll workers have difficulty distinguishing individuals from among a crowd of white Christians."

"Thanks to their pale skin, round eyes and khaki trousers, Republicans just blend in," said Mr. Dean. "So they vote, get in the back of the line and vote again. And because they've never made an honest living in their lives, they could do that all day long."

The party chief announced that the Democrat National Committee will invest $50 million in developing protocols to help poll workers tell the difference between one Republican and the next.

A spokesman for the DNC later clarified the comments, noting that, "Chairman Dean intended his offensive remarks to be heard only by party loyalists, not the general public."

It's getting harder and harder to tell the difference between satire and the real thing.

The sad part is that it would not be beyond the bounds of credulity that Dizzy Dean to say something like this.

The biggest surprise to me about this whole Dean story is that the big headline has been "Republicans are a White Chrsitian Party", rather than the far more inflammatory "Republicans all look the same". It really smacks of bigotry.

It's getting harder and harder to tell the difference between satire and the real thing.

So was that satire or something Howard the Deany actually said?

I can't tell anymore.

Quite right.

Chairman Dean is so crazy that one might reasonably presume that this post is a correct piece of reportage on Dr. Dean's latest dive into the shallow end of the political pool. God, I hope he NEVER loses this DNC job. He is a blessing to the GOP.

Oh wait, I wrote that out of context!

We could use purple ink, like in Iraq, but that would go against the Democrats' plan just as well.

Chairman Dean does make a satirist's work a heck of a lot more difficult...

Perish the thought! If you wanted an abortion, though, he is probably your man.

Dem Poll Workers Can't Tell GOP voters apart?

Finally, proof that the dems are ignorant. They also can't tell which place to mark on a ballot.

No wonder they believe everything they hear when they turn on the TV for the weather.
