Howard Dean: Scott Walker 'Unknowledgeable' Because No College Degree
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/12/2015 4:26:38 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

What a snob! On today's Morning Joe, Howard Dean, a product of fancy prep schools and Yale, suggested that Scott Walker was unfit to be president because his lack of a college degree rendered him "unknowledgeable."

Dean's disdain for the un-diplomaed came during a discussion of Walker having declined, during his recent trip to the UK, to state whether he believes in evolution. Joe Scarborough was incredulous at Dean's diss, pointing out that people such as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg never finished college. To which list could be added super-successful and knowledgeable people from Rush Limbaugh to Steve Jobs, among many others.

My daughters would be success stories if not for crippling loan debt. For example, Two college, community and state, not but 15 miles apart so my daughter gets an AA from one and transfer to state college where transcripts for same college not accepted. She takes classes over at significant time and expense and graduates after 8 years with well over 300 credits. During this time she worked full time at major retailer yet had to take out 68K in student loans to finish. Had the colleges coordinated their classes she could have graduated much sooner with far less debt. But the colleges would have made much less off her. The college malignancy has been growing unattended far too long.

And wins the NOBLE before being in a position to do anything. They probably feared they had a dud and it would be easy to issue before rather than after as his lack of accomplishments and credentials revealed the intelligence of shovel ready dirt.

Jeb Bush must be getting concerned and has called upon his leftist friends at the Washington Post to find dirt on Scott Walker.

I can show you a couple of on-line dictionaries which say it is, though the OED is not one of them.

It was a damned stupid question and anyone who would vote for or against based on such a question is too stupid to vote anyway.

Actually get used to it because the British press love to ask U.S. politicians if they believe in evolution and then watch as the he or she hems and haws on their answer. They find it absolutely hilarious.

Call them out for defaming every successful woman, Hispanic, Black, Asian or other ‘minority’ group person without a college degree.

Walker went to college for 3+ years, which is more than enough time to get whatever useful information there is out of it.

Since it's the British press then I don't think it's a voting thing so much as a comedy thing. They really think that creationists are funny.

I like your perspective on this.

As tactics go it’s pretty lame. No point in getting heated about it - if/when confronted about it Scott will gently mock anyone foolish enough to attempt it. Like the stupid gotcha question about evolution he denies them the satisfaction of the snare while leaving them with handfuls of nothing - but everybody is talking about it (free publicity).

While the jury is still out on whether or not Walker has the mojo to win POTUS the jury is definitely in on The Screamer - he’s a retrograde duncecap.

You can find Howard Dean’s net worth online.

I did not complete college. I became involved in high tech business and never looked back.

My net worth is much higher than Howard Dean’s.

How could that be?

Harry Truman never went to college and was almost the last decent democrat.

If the question of God as Creator is going to be asked of conservative candidates, demand that it also be posed to Democrat candidates.

“You call yourself a Christian. If God did not make the heavens and the earth, do you think He was surprised when the Big Bang occurred, or do you believe that god(s) sprang forth from the big bang, or you you really lie about being a Christian and believe that God doesn’t exist?”

I hate defending Obama, but there is evidence he went to college and graduated. Just no indication of his grades.

He never would have gotten even a crappy teaching job without an advanced degree.

It doesn’t make him smart.....
