Monday, Dec. 5, 2005 11:43 p.m. EST Michael Reagan: Dean 'Should Be Hung'
Michael Reagan, son of the late President Ronald Reagan, is blasting Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean for declaring that the U.S. won't be able to win the war in Iraq, saying Dean ought to be "hung for treason."
"Howard Dean should be arrested and hung for treason or put in a hole until the end of the Iraq war!" Reagan told his Radio America audience on Monday.
Reagan was reacting to Dean's comments earlier in the day, when the top Democrat said that the "idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong."
In a Texas radio interview, Dean predicted a rerun of the Vietnam debacle, where U.S. forces had to withdraw after Congress voted to cut support for South Vietnam's government.
"This is the same situation we had in Vietnam," the top Democrat said. "Everybody then kept saying, 'just another year, just stay the course, we'll have a victory.' Well, we didn't have a victory, and this policy cost the lives of an additional 25,000 troops because we were too
stubborn to recognize what was happening."
Dean said he favored a plan to immediately withdraw National Guard and Reserve troops - with all military personnel slated to be out of Iraq within two years.
"They said you was hung"
"And they was right".
Wait, I thought Ron was democrat. Seriously, isn't he democrat?
No... Dean should be HANGED. He probably isn't h*ng too well. (sorry, I just can never resist when I read the "hanged/hung" mixup used like this.)
I still insist that Howard Dean is Karl Rove in a rubber mask. Notice you never see the two of them together?
Its about time Mr. Reagan
I think the charge of treason can only be levied against a government official. Although How-weird Dean is DNC head, I don't think he qualifies as a gov't official. I will accept gentle correction on this matter, though.
""""Wait, I thought Ron was democrat. Seriously, isn't he democrat?""""
I think thats his brother the DANCER....
Bye troll.
You are right. In today's USA, there is no such thing as treason. Freedom of speech is absolute, no responsibility is required for saying whatever you wish, no matter what harm it may do...
LOL! OR Rooster Cogburn! "A gun that's unloaded and cocked ain't good for nothin'"! I loved that movie!
ok,Ron is democrat. Not Micheal. Right?
enjoy your brief stay at FR .... bye-bye
Mike is wrong.
Dean's comments need to be replayed in many places in the future; and Dean's job title must accompany the comments.
It would save the Republican National Committee a lot of ad dollars.
Let's see who is still here tomorrow, or even this afternoon, before you start assessing the argument.
Huzzah! Nothing will show the world our commitment to freedom like executing people for what they say.
No sense arguing with someone literally stupid enough to agree with deaniac.
'Nuff said.
