“Once again Howard Dean's pessimistic outlook has provided the American people with no real answers to what his Democrat party stands for.  As Iraqis draft a constitution, Dean’s wild assertion that Iraqi women would be better off living under Saddam Hussein than democracy is not only counterproductive to meaningful debate, it demeans the hard work of American servicemen and women serving in Iraq.”

- RNC Deputy Communications Director Danny Diaz

Dean is a mentally-unstable fool. Thank you Clinton for putting him in charge (straw boss) of the DNC. Regardless, he is still the poster-boy of the complicit leftist MSM.

What a sad display for America.

Took a minute to figure out how to post a picture but here it is. This was made by a freeper a few days ago. Timeless though.

[FreeRep]

Dean always manage to take the position or actions that most undermines US security. He is taking his "talking points" straight out of al-Qaeda training manual.

[Nabber]

Dear God,

PLEASE don't let Howard Dean resign his position...

Amen.

[Don Corleone]

Dean's meds must certainly have expired.

[OldFriend]

NARAL, PETA, DNC, and Cindy Sheehan....perfect together.

[Revererdrv]

Dean feels he can get away with saying anything he wants.
He is helping the Republican Party more than his fellow Demorats.

[TheForceOfOne]

Howard Dean’s needs to appear On “Face The Corner”

[MNJohnnie]

Howie has got to be a plant. They really, really cannot be this stupid over there at DNC land.

[billnaz]

How-weird needs to go to Crawford and hook up with Cindy Sheehan. She and all her old hippie friends would make a great backdrop for him.

[Navy Patriot]

I am sooo glad that Howard Deaniac is chair of DNC!

[Revererdrv]

Howard Dean is engaged in Shock Politics a voice of insanity for the DNC.

Ive thought that myself. Democrats are far gone. They're so far beyond reason that their 'intellect' can't recognize an emotionally-unsound man when they're looking him right in the eye.

[ThreePuttinDude]

I might have to disagree with you on this. I think they
know just eggsackly what they are doing. The shrill and
the lunacy that is being spewed is making hellary look
that much more middle of the road. Tho, we at FR know better
the less read of our citizenry will look at this and see
her as mild and less aggressive.

Thats just my conspiracy theory view of the whole thing.

[Terpfen]

Know what's sad? Some FReepers are starting to sound like Dean.

[eric_da_grate]

I've head the theory and I don't see how it puts them in a tactical advantage in an atempt to consolidate their own party....This is a party with nothing left to lose, to be sure, but deliberate self-sabotage in the party's best interests doesn't make sense to me. They can't decide where there'll be on an issue, any issue, from one day to the next.

That party's 'base' is growing more eccentric and aloof with every passing day. This is beyond anyone's control in that undisciplined mess and any intellectually honest liberal would have to concede that. I also think Hillary's appeal is highly overstated even among themselves.
