PING!

An audio clip from about two months ago has been uncovered by The Blaze which clearly demonstrates that, even with all of his opining and public speaking skills, there is a reason that Howard Dean’s most notable quote will always remain a timelessly incoherent scream. Despite being a one-word definition of ignorance, Dean doesn’t mind discussing how to control the media in an effort to educate what he considers to be the ignorant masses – Americans.
What would he do about the media?
“I would bring back the Fairness Doctrine so you couldn’t have a spectacle of a Fox Flooze, which just makes stuff up and is a propaganda outlet. You would actually have to have some sanctioned human beings talking to the other side. And MSNBC would have to do the same. They would have to have some conservatives on there too. I think that’s much better for the country.”
Why does he want the government to control media?
“Americans don’t know what’s going on and therefore the media can have their way with them intellectually.”
If Dean is so concerned about propaganda outlets making stuff up, then perhaps he should be fact-checking his own statements. Such as…
If anybody knows about lying, it would appear to be Dean himself. So if he has been so successful at distorting facts, does this mean that he believes that he’s been having his way with Americans intellectually?
Dean has long championed the Fairness Doctrine as an avenue for controlling conservative talk radio and Fox News. In a Newsweek column in 2007, George Will explained the infatuation that liberals have with regulating speech over the airwaves, specifically citing Dean:
Some of today's illiberals say that media abundance, not scarcity, justifies the Fairness Doctrine: Americans, the poor dears, are bewildered by too many choices. And the plenitude of information sources disperses "the national campfire," the cozy communitarian experience of the good old days (for liberals), when everyone gathered around—and was dependent on—ABC, NBC and CBS.
“I believe we need to re-regulate the media," says Howard Dean. Such illiberals argue that the paucity of liberal successes in today's radio competition—and the success of Fox News—somehow represent "market failure." That is the regularly recurring, all-purpose rationale for government intervention in markets. Market failure is defined as consumers' not buying what liberals are selling.
Easily manipulated and bewildered - that’s what Howard Dean and his liberal cohorts think of the American people.
Howard Dean: Bring Back the Fairness Doctrine Because Fox ‘Makes Stuff Up’ and ‘Americans Don’t Know What’s Going On’
Like your moderate friends? Go join nolabels, Howie! They’d be glad to have ya there.
There. Fixed it. :)
No Idiot!
CBS makes stuff up...and so you you.
It really can’t be that long now..I mean, really? The GOP is having a problem capitalizing on democrats like that??
how come his guy is a total nut job and no one calls him on it? (I know.... stupid question... he’s a lib and gets a pass...)
Sorry Howie. Americans know damn well “what’s going on” and we don’t need FNC to tell us what it is. Your “Fairness” Doctrine wouldn’t make any difference even if you did “bring it back” by pulling it out of your *** again. We’re Americans and you can’t shut us up. Those days are over.
PING!
Bears repeating!
Howard Dean is an elitist fascist prig.He also is Howard the Coward, his brother was killed in Vietnam while serving and Howard the Coward stayed home with a medical deferment ( while he was a ski bum in Vermont cutting up the slopes with not a medical thing wrong with him.). Howard can't even look a pancake straight in the eye , even at a Dem pancake breakfast, without going all gaa gaa.
Deaniac also has an anger management problem: " Yaaaaaarrrrrrrgh!"
Seriously.Dean is a stone cold idiot. Why do you think he no longer practises medicine? ( NO one wants the idiot touching them!)
Obama will be giving Dean many more headaches as he prepares for 2012.
Why do I see this <“> in text where ever quotation marks or apostrophes are typed? Is this a FR bug or is something wrong with my monitor or are aliens attempting to contact me?
He’s just mad at the Cat because the Cats smarter than he is.
Howard Dean: Living proof that even the mentally ill can rise above their handicap to screw up America. Just look at who is in the White House for another example.
I’m not having this problem. You might want to check your browser settings.
He said this, really?? Is that the same as a nappy headed ho? Imagine if a conservative said a "The View Flooze". Or the Good Morning America Flooze, or the Headline News Flooze (which has a ring to it).
As a general rule, when Fox has a fair and balanced discussion, I tend to change the channel when the Bolshecrat speaks, because, it is so much noise. They always tend to toe the party line, I really only need to step in it once to recognize BS. I will turn back when I think it is time when some rational being is making a coherent statement. I was listening to the Judge last night when some female guest was always interrupting with nonsensical statements like the TARP and stimuless worked, providing no evidence it was true. The proof is always it could have been worse. It was worse, you dumb bitch. You can’t transfer a trillion dollars from the productive sector to the unproductive and claim things are better. Disprove that.
Sorry, I don’t mean to hijack this thread but the funny text appears in the excerpt and not in the main body and it only appears in this post and no other that I’ve seen. See the excerpt:

I don’t know what to say. It’s all coming in fine on my browser.
It’s possible that your browser is operating in something other than U.S. English (for example, U.K.), and is consequently having a problem interpreting those apostrophes and quotes.
