In S.F., Dean calls GOP 'a white Christian party'

Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean, unapologetic in the face of recent criticism that he has been too tough on his political opposition, said in San Francisco this week that Republicans are "pretty much a monolithic party. They all behave the same. They all look the same. It's pretty much a white Christian party."

[Syco]

You literally took the words write out of my mouth!

[BallyBill]

"I don't ask a lot Lord, but please leave Howard Dean in at the DNC"

[Uncle Hal]

As long as Dean is the spokesman for the DNC, the better for the GOP. Go Dean!

5) Dean suggested that Democrats abandon Wyoming because of its anti-gay attitude.

(in a December 2004 speech at George Washington University, Dean stated "We cannot any longer be a Party that seeks the presidency by running an 18-state campaign. We can't be a party that cedes a single state, a single District, a single precinct, or even a single voter")

4) If Bill Clinton can be the first black president, I can be the first gay president.

(later, Dean clarified that he was a "square" and he didn't even know what the word "gay" meant)

"They all behave the same. They all look the same. It's pretty much a white Christian party."

Spend one day on FR and you will realize that there are Republicans with many differing viewpoints. I have never seen two Republicans that look the same. And I am Jewish and only half caucasian. The guys got to go.
The "They all look the same" especially should be brought up repeatedly. It sounds racist.

So that must mean the Dems are a black, atheist party right?

[Michael.SF.]

I suppose Condi Rice and Colon Powell are whites

Well, in some circles (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Greasy Imfume) they are certainly considered to be less then "Black".

[stands2reason]

You got it.

To the liberal mind, minorities need religion because they aren't quite civilized enough to be true secualr humanists like the white liberal is. And that's okay. It's even kind of adorable, in it's own little way.

But whites being religious, that's...unnatural. It's a throwback. Whites are supposed to be beyond this religious nonsense.

It's embarrassing, like seeing your grandfather come out wearing only his underwear in front of your friends. Or worse, a leisure suit.

Yea, maybe he and Jimi can go to Aruba and look for that missing high school girl.

[labette]

I can't believe I was once worried by this guy. He's the funniest thing since that Bubba doll with the pants that keep falling down.

White trailer trash fundie Stepford Bigots.

And they wonder why people are leaving the party. I'm Jewish, wonder what they think of me. LOL LOL

[Soul Seeker]

Excellant point.

If the GOP is the Party of all the white Christians in America, did Howie just admit all the white elected politicians in the Democrat Party are not Christian?

Whatever are Hillary and the K-Twins going to do now that they've been outed by their own Chairman?

[MonroeDNA]

"Whatever we are paying Howard Dean, it isn't enough. "

ROTFLMAO!!!!

[dawn53]

So what's the comparison Howard? Are you saying the Dems are: (pick one)

the Black Christian party
the Black Muslem party
the Black Jewish party
the Black Athiest party
the White Athiest party
the White Muslem party
the White Jewish party
the Hispanic Christian party
the Hispanic Muslem party
the Hispanic Jewish party
the Hispanic Athiest party

[HKMk23]

Not yet, but he will. Lots of them. Loudly. For a VERY, very long time.

Dean: The gift that keeps on giving.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

And the DemonRats are calling people racist. These people get more nutso by the minute.

[Bahbah]

Guess what, Mike? We're white!

LOL. Republicans are a pretty powerful people. No need for Michael Jackson treatments. Just join and we turn you white. If you're Jewish, you get converted. But seriously, is Dean really as crazy as I think he is?

[GOP_1900AD]

Even though the hardest core of liberalism is a bunch of white Baby Boomers who live in the suburbs of coastal urban areas. Keep on blabbing away Dean!

[jalisco555]

My rabbi will be upset to find out I'm Christian. Please don't tell him.
