"Where all the white voters at?"
Posted on 08/17/2008 6:16:10 PM PDT by Hadean
In an interview on National Public Radio last week, Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean touted the racial and gender diversity of the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. In what sounded like a slip of the tongue, he momentarily referred to the GOP as the "white party." Paging Dr. Freud.
The McCain campaign pounced on the remark. Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett-Packard and chair of Victory 2008 -- and one of the highest-ranking females in the McCain campaign -- issued a statement calling Dean's comments -- as if they had been intentional -- "insulting, inappropriate, and have no place in this election."
What Dean said was, "If you look at folks of color, even women, they're more successful in the Democratic party than they are in the white, uh, excuse me, in, uh, Republican party."
"He misspoke and corrected himself immediately," Stacie Paxton, DNC press secretary said Sunday.
In any case, Dean raised an issue that is rarely discussed in public and almost never by politicians: the marked racial division by party in American politics. Members of the country's largest minority groups -- blacks, Latinos, Asian-Americans -- are predominantly Democratic...

I am perplexed as to who is the best personification of pure evil in American politics....Howard Dean or Paul Begala? Harold Ickes is right up there as well.
Evidently ABC (surprise, surprise) is trying to excuse Dean’s racist comment as a mere slip of the tongue - but they hammer poor old George Allen to death because of an apparent innocent remark - dumb though it was....and again, remind me why the media shouldn’t be considered biased towards Conservatives?
Now that’s rich...a white person, in a party who’s party leadership are mostly white,who’s party history included founding members of the KKK and racist segregationists, calling the opposition party white’.
Can you spell hypocrisy, Howie?
They are the racists.

Bush is opening doors with a diverse Cabinet
By Susan Page,
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — With little fanfare and not much credit, President Bush has appointed a more diverse set of top advisers than any president in history.
In his first term, Bush matched the record that President Clinton set in his first term for appointing women and people of color to the Cabinet, and Bush had a more diverse inner circle at the White House. Since his re-election last month, the president has made a series of groundbreaking nominations.
Bush has named his White House lawyer, Alberto Gonzales, to be the first Hispanic to hold one of the powerful “big four” Cabinet jobs, attorney general.
He named his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, to be the first female African-American secretary of State, the Cabinet’s senior position.
"Nobody move, or the Indonesian gets it!"
as if [the slips of the tongue] had been intentional
Willingly stupid? Perhaps, especially because he's absolutely bias.
Visit a McCain public campaign event in, say, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio -- states with diverse populations -- and chances are the crowd will be 90-plus percent white . . . Jack Kemp . . . decried the lack of diversity within his party's ranks.
Nary a word about 90+ percent black votes for Obama during the primaries AGAINST A RAT PARTY CANDIDATE (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party).
And what party sent troops to Little Rock to desegregate the schools?
All right. So what? About 90% of the population of those states is, guess what, white!
My Gawd, the MSM is...stupid!
B. (whose middle name, according to McCain, must NEVER be spoken) Obama,,,,
and his anti-American, angry, bitter, arrogant and cocky wife,,,,
and his blatantly racist mentor, spiritual adviser, close friend and ex-pastor,,,
ARE THE RIGHT PEOPLE AT THE RIGHT TIME!!!
ping for later
And just where is the dear Michelle?
Why did she stay in Hawaii and why has she been out of the spotlight?
Maybe Bob Beckel should be asked, he talked about these whitey tapes and how damaging they would be, are they coming out this week.
Saw a Dem straitigist on CNN and he was saying Corso’s book is causing a lot of people to really see the real Obama, couldn’t believe he said it.
Something big is going down.
I have asked on other threads also...but where oh where is Michelle. I didn’t see the whole ‘show’ last night...but Cindy was front and center...where was Shelli? Anger Management Class? Potential First Lady Re-Education Center?
At that "Forum" last night, B. Hussein was asked which Supreme Court Justice he would not have appointed: "Clarence Thomace".
Course McCain named four, all white.
yitbos
If 90%+ of whites supported the white candidate, it’s “racist”.
When 90%+ of blacks support the black candidate it’s “diversity”.
You crackers have any questions?
"He misspoke and corrected himself immediately," Stacie Paxton, DNC press secretary said Sunday.
For this to have happened, it MUST be the case that the rats refer to pubbies as the "white party" amongst themselves as a normal thing.
