Howard Dean likens Mitt Romney, GOP to Ahmadinejad during liberal ‘Netroots’ conference By Josh Peterson - The Daily Caller 10:18 PM 06/09/2012
Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean wasted no time comparing GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and the Republican Party in general to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during the progressive Netroots Nation 2012 conference Saturday in Providence, R.I.
“When people say that Mitt Romney wants to take us back to the ’50s, they’re not talking about the 1950s, they’re talking about the 1850s with the Know-Nothing Party,” said Dean.
The Know-Nothing Party, also called the American Party, was a U.S. political party active during the 1840s-1850s strongly opposed to immigrants and the Catholic Church. The party had a power base in the North, especially in Ohio and Massachusetts, but lost steam when it “refused to take a stand on slavery,” according to the Ohio Historical Society.
“Does everybody remember the Know-Nothing Party? They hated immigrants, they didn’t like Catholics, they didn’t like Jews, they didn’t like anybody,” said Dean. “They didn’t like gay people, but they didn’t believe gay people existed.”
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow referred to the Republican Party as the Know-Nothing Party during a televised segment in November 2011.
“You know, I think it was President Ahmadinejad in, back those days in 1850,” said Dean, referring to the anti-American and antisemitic rhetoric of the Iranian president.

“We’re goin to California we’re going to Texas we’re going to Arizona..YEEEAAAARRRRGH!”
I am sure that all twelve viewers were impressed. And one of them was the author.
“Off his meds again.........”
Not really. Just pimping the nutjob left meme.
I’ve said for months that it doesn’t matter who we run, the Left Media was going to paint them as the most radical, most evil person since Adolf Hitler.
Dean hasn’t disappointed.
He’s an idiot
Gimme another scream, Howard.
Liberalism is a chronic mental disease.
He belongs in a padded cell in an asylum somewhere.
After Wisconsin, they’re runnin’ scared....they know it’s coming and it is coming BIG.
leftist ‘Netroots’ conference
This used to be called “Yearly Kos”, as it was organized by the Daily Kos crowd. They changed the name a few years ago to Netroots Nation. But it’s all liberals. There are no moderate or conservative bloggers there.
Whatever you say, Howard "Stalin" Dean...YEEAAAAARG!!!!
Howard Dean is not dealing with a full deck. Listen to the guy talk. He has a screw loose. He should be committed.
Not 1850, but 1750--back under colonial control of a corrupt, godless empire. That's where Obama wants to take us.
