Dean: If Cotton Wasn't A Veteran,I Would Say Iran Letter "Borders On Treason"
Breitbart.com ^ | March 10, 2015 | Jeffrey Poor

Posted on 03/10/2015 8:14:17 AM PDT by Biggirl

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean took aim at Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), who took the lead on a letter to the leadership to Iran that warns the regime that any nuclear deal made with the Obama administration and not approved by the Congress faces the risk of not being honored by future administrations.

Treason is aid and comfort to our enemies in a time of war.

OPPOSING Iran does not benefit our enemies. Unless the Screamin’ Demon thinks Israel is the enemy.

The Worst of Howard Dean

A troubling tale from his past. Is it true?

By William Saletan and Ben Jacobs

Howard Dean

Slate continues its short features on the 2004 presidential candidates. Previous series covered the candidates’ biographies, buzzwords, agendas, worldviews, and claims to fame. This series assesses the story that supposedly shows each candidate at his worst. Here’s the one told by critics of Howard Dean—and what they leave out.

Charge: In 1971, Dean, who had been a wrestling team captain in high school, received a draft deferment for an unfused vertebra in his back. In the Aug. 15, 2002, Aspen Times, Dean said he “skied 80 days” in Aspen during the winter of 1971-72. The Times reported that Dean “loved skiing bumps,” otherwise known as moguls. (Some health publications note that moguls can put particular stress on the spine.) “It was a great time to be a kid and do something relatively fun,” Dean recalled. He added that he also worked that year “pouring concrete.” Time reported on Aug. 11, 2003, that Dean spent the year “skiing and bumming around. … He hit the slopes, tried pot, washed dishes, poured concrete and drank impressive amounts of beer.” On June 22, 2003, Tim Russert asked Dean on Meet the Press, “Why were you able to ski on Ajax Mountain, pounding your back, and pouring concrete, and not serve in the military?”

Defense: Dean told Russert, “I was given an examination. I had a previous back problem, which is evidently congenital, which prevented me from doing any sustained running, a problem that I’ve had since then, since that time, which requires that when I get out of the car I often have some pains up and down my leg and back and so forth. But I have been able to exercise [and have] a vigorous athletic life except for some things. One of those is long-distance running, which is how the problem came to my attention in the first place. I noticed the pain when I was in high school running track. … After the physical, I received a 1-Y deferment, [which] means you can only be called in times of national emergency. I didn’t have anything to do with choosing any draft deferment. … The United States government said this is your classification. I’m not responsible for that.”

In the May 25, 2003, Washington Post, Dean’s campaign manager, Joe Trippi, said, “[Dean’s] view is, ‘Look, I went in, got a physical and was rejected, and then I went on with my life.’ “

I find it puzzling that the Dems want to ignore the Constitution when it suits them, but then demand that the Pubs “play by the rules” they flaunt.

Did it never occur to the Dems that once the rules are broken by one side, there is no reasonable expectation that the other side will continue to abide by them?

Not that two wrongs make a right, but the inevitable consequence of the break down in social, moral, and legal order.

In Dean’s “mind”, anyone who doesn’t accept Obama as a King by divine right is guilty of treason.

Because they sent the letter as congressional communication and their oath of office requires them to protect and preserve the Constitution. That document spells out the roles of each branch and foreign policy initiatives are the purvue of the Executive branch.

Howard Dean is a psycho.

The men in the white coats should have hauled his butt to the funny farm years ago.

When David Letterman rolled the video Tuesday, Dean's head appeared to explode at the end of the speech. "Did you see Howard Dean ranting and raving?" he asked the audience. "Here's a little tip, Howard: cut back on the Red Bull."

On his program, Jay Leno quipped: "I'm not an expert in politics, but I think it's a bad sign when your speech ends with your aides shooting you with a tranquilizer gun."

Jon Stewart introduced the clip on his show by saying, "That whole 'Dean anger thing,' it's a bum rap. The guy has his emotions under control."

as opposed to the president actually negotiating with terrorists, which is way different than treason.

Would he be talking about treason like Ted Kennedy’s secret letter to Andropov, seeking to sell out the US in exchange for support in the 1984 election? Someone posted about that earlier today.

Yeah. Shut down the Senate and the House too, that’s a real good idea.

Who gives a flying cow-flow what a leftist (by definition, treasonous) anti-American POS like Howard Dean thinks?
