The Hate language of Howard Dean
Edited on Sat Jun-11-05 09:31 AM by cdb
The latest screed from right-wing nut preacher falwell. Emphasis added:

Falwell Confidential

Insider weekly newsletter to The Moral Majority Coalition and The Liberty Alliance

http://www.moralmajority.us



Date: June 10, 2005

From: Jerry Falwell



THE HATE LANGUAGE OF HOWARD DEAN



Let’s see now. Democrat Party leaders are constantly harping about President Bush not uniting the nation (even though he is constantly reaching over the proverbial aisle). Simultaneously, the Democrat Party is being led by a man who frequently tenders the most divisive and hate-filled language on the political horizon.



This man is Howard Dean.



He has said he “hate(s) Republicans and everything they stand for.”



He has stated that conservatives are “evil.”



He has stated that Republicans “never made an honest living in their lives.”



And this week the former Vermont governor said that the Republican Party is monolithically comprised of “white Christians.”



You know, when presidential candidate Dean self-destructed during the Iowa caucus last year in his now infamous meltdown, his supporters declared that his astonishingly creepy behavior was a glitch in his otherwise normal manner.



But it’s obvious that this man needs to enroll in an anger management program.



Howard Dean is reflective of modern-day liberalism which feigns to be about gooey compassion. But at its core it is comprised of malevolence toward those who have alternative political and social views. It is a continuation of the scorched-earth policies of the Clinton administration that attempted to ruthlessly annihilate all of those who got in the way of their quest for ultimate power.



What is actually kind of funny is that the Democrats have, since the November elections, been, in their strange way, attempting to reach out to Christian voters. This requires what amounts to political contortionist act since most Democrats support abortion rights, special rights for homosexuals and the ongoing suffocation of religious expression in the public square.



But the smoke and mirrors and fence straddling aren’t working. And Howard Dean’s hysterical expressions reveal the true story of where this party stands on the issues and in its bearing on conservative people of faith.



I want to note that Christians in this nation are probably today the most diverse collection of people in this nation. I defy Mr. Dean to visit any number of evangelical churches in the next few weeks. He will discover white and black and brown and yellow faces worshiping together in one accord.



Mr. Dean wants to categorize Christians as a bunch of old, angry white guys in the mold of Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.V.), but he is way off beam.



Speaking as someone who’s made a faux pas or two in a public discourse or two, I know how easy it is to have a slip of the tongue while on camera. But Howard Dean is a serial offender, purposely driving a wedge between voters in this nation and attempting to besmirch the reputation of the Christian community that is sincerely working to live out their faith in a color-blind manner.



Howard Dean is an embarrassment to contemporary politics. But he is actually serving a great purpose for conservative people of faith by characterizing the left for what it truly is — a group of fuming Bush haters who are adrift in their own ritual blindness.



All the better for those of us who love the traditions of this nation and seek to keep alive an America that is open to religious expression, is protective of unborn life and is protective of the traditions of marriage and family and love of country. Mr. Dean has become the poster child for what most Americans abhor.



As goofy as Howard Dean is, I sincerely hope that he has a lengthy reign in leading his purposeless party.

1. What's up with the strike-through?
I can barely read this, so I don't know what you are intending.

9. Maybe God was editing Falwell's words since
they were all taken out of context past the first couple of sentences.

they could barely stand to read it either and the words are being stricken so we'll know how the poster feels as well.

edit: darn spelling errors

2. Falwell is a very very mislead confused man
God I only pray that karma will get to have it's satiation with these terribly ignorant and unfortunately evil people. Howard Dean, I know that a power greater than Falwell's god of anger and wrath is on your side. We must not stand down in the face of these brutal dictators.

16. What greater hate
speech is there other than (paraphrasing here) "Gays and lesbians and feminists and the ACLU are responsible for the attacks on September 11...??" Wasn't that Falwell himself?

:wtf:

17. It was, but remember in his ignorance and arrogance
and because he's saved and thinks he speaks with the authority of God himself he thinks his sh*t doesn't stink.

There is a perfect quote from the bible about people like him, in the end when life is through their god will say to the fanatical hypocrite's, "depart from me for I never knew you" Karma Karma Karma :spank:

6. On my screen your emphasis
appears as strikethroughs on all lines.

Maybe that's better.

I rarely read anything from that lying, stinking, sack of shit but this way it's at least tolerable.

13. "For every thing there is a season
and a time for every matter under heaven: .... a time to keep silent, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace." Ecclesiates #:1-8

I'm not surprised that Jerry has forgotten that little lesson. But we can remind him that it's time for him to shut up, and to let Dean talk.

15. It is to be noted
that when Falwell uses the term 'Christian' it always is preceeded by the silent understanding that he means 'white racist sexist Xtians.'

18. Hey I guess he forgot
about Newt Gingrich who was a back bencher who screamed all the time about how bad the Democrats were. He addressed the empty house of reps every night. O'Neil tried to shut him up and it caused an uproar. I say Dean is doing the right thing. The repjuks are nasty, disgusting, underhanded lying scum buckets. They should be called on to defend their scandalous behavior. I see that chris mathews is whoring for McCain. He has gotten so annoying that I can't watch him anymore. Now they have that carlson will be coming on at 9:00 the MSNBC net work will lose me except for Oberman. End of Rant.

22. Falwell: greedy, intolerant, gluttonous, divisive, hateful, hypocrite
Always prepared to throw the first stone and use God as his excuse.

He certainly does not appear to hold the moral superiority necessary to judge others, does he.

23.  Jerry Falwell is way too practiced at being hateful.
He seems to be a clever man, and energetic, even vigilant in his way.

Too bad it's in the service of repression. And it is.

Nietzsche warned us to "distrust anyone in whom the impulse to punish is too severe."
