She thought Kenye was disgusting also.

Good for him, there is more of the statement in the article. Someone needed
to say, and he had the guts to say it at a convention of African American
Baptists in Miami.
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9247380/

MIAMI - Race was a factor in the death toll from Hurricane Katrina, Howard
Dean told members of the National Baptist Convention of America on Wednesday
at the group’s annual meeting.

Dean, chairman of the Democratic Party, made the comments to the Baptists’
Political and Social Justice Commission. The National Baptist Convention,
with an estimated 3.5 million members, is one of the largest black religious
groups in the country.

“We must ... come to terms with the ugly truth that skin color, age and
economics played a deadly role in who survived and who did not,” Dean said.

Dean said Americans have a moral responsibility to not ignore the
devastating damage caused by Hurricane Katrina when it struck the Gulf
Coast.

The former presidential candidate said the government will be judged by how
it treats the old, the young and the poor."

[kerry-is-my-prez]

25. Wolfie trying his best to get something to use against Dean and Dems

He wants to try to get Dean to say something that Rove & Co. can twist and try to divert attention away from "poor George."

[political_invader]

78. Sheep Blitzer disgusts me WTG Dean way to speak out the TRUTH

Blitzer did all he could do to bait Dean, I believe Dr.Dean was GREAT finally the Leadership speaks up. I applaud you.

PEACE from a BLUE STATE.

[Generic Other]

26. Dean is impressing the hell out of me!!

Now, why didn't we elect him president? Damn.

[Reciprocity]

[SofaKingLiberal]

33. You mean unlike Dr. 'aids from sweat' Frist?

[DoYouEverWonder]

44. You mean the one that can diagnose

whether or not someone has a functioning brain just by looking at a video tape? Yep.

[gkhouston]

79. be fair

we can watch TV and diagnose that many politicians no longer have functioning moral centers. Is that much different? :sarcasm:

[oasis]

32. Dean to Wolf: "You're holding the Mayor to a different standard than you'r

holding FEMA". He says Wolf is quoting the Republican spin machine.

[blm]

46. YES!!! Every week I send a note to DNC to expose the GOPcontrol of media.

I do believe they are making that move.

Next...THE VOTING MACHINES.

Thanks Chairman Dean.

[onecent]

34. Need a third party with Dean leading it. n/t I love him

[mzmolly]

52. He's already leading a party. We don't need another.

Unless we want Republicans in office AGAIN.

[Dr Fate]

56. I like him right where he is. n/t

n/t

[MaineDem]

73. He's doing fine leading the Party now

Remember, this is Democratic Underground.

[emulatorloo]

EOM

[crispini]

35. re: quote making connection between nola and roberts

it's not enough to say you care -- it's what you've done. john robert's legal career has been about taking away rights, making sure people don't have the same rights everybody else does.

[AlCzervik]

37. that was excellent and a great way to end.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

40. That was Right On The Money! Yes, Dr. Dean!

[crispini]

36. calls on Senate to reject Roberts!

Howard :loveya: Dean!!!! :yourock:

[Idioteque]

38. Wolf: "Should the Senate reject Roberts?" Dean:"Absolutly yes." !!! n/t

[Just Me]

39. I love that man!!! It's clear he cares about people like me.

:hug: Dr. Dean :hug:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

41. He was my choice for Democratic Nominee and it devistated me

that the Media destroyed his chance.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

45. It wasn't only the media...

It was his fellow Democrats too...I have many friends who were volunteering for him in Iowa and NH and from the stories I heard...well youd be shocked

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

54. From one mad as hell new yorker to another, I am sure you're right.

I have even thought that his votes in New Hampshire were tampered with.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

59. It would not surprise me.

When my first friend came back from NH, he told me stories that seemed outlandish and shocking. They were later confirmed when my other friends got back from Wisconson...

One example was when the police came to the Dean HQ in the town he was in in Iowa, because people were complaining that Dean Supports were calling them at 2 am in the morning. It turned out to be another candidates volunteers cranking folks claiming they worked for Dean, in the hopes of discouraging Iowans voting for Dean. thats one small example of what when on.

:hi:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

65. You know, I used to believe Democrats were above these things, but

then one has to remember how many are bought and paid for, and are just opposames of the Republicans. This is one of my greatest frustrations as so few are out for the greater good of the people, and only out for themselves.

:hi:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

66. Its sad but true.

They are only politicians...and usually they are in it for something more then the common good. it is sad...but they are the lesser of two evils currently (most democrats anyway)...

hahaha: opposames! thats great

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

68. I didn't coin opposames! I am not going to mention where I heard

it as I might get jumped on here for believing in lizard people...ooops! ;)

[Just Me]

49. Me, too. Stupid freakin' media!!! ((GRRRRR))

I supported Dean during the primaries. However, I really did and still do think highly of John Kerry.

[MN ChimpH8R]

43. Howard Dean speaks for me!

:yourock: Dr. Dean!!

[mnhtnbb]

47. I want Dean for my President

AAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[MelissaB]

48. Please tell me somebody captured this on video.

[yellowjacket7]

50. Video please, anyone?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

55. If the video isn't put on the net, the transcript at CNN should be

available in an hour or so.

[madfloridian]

81. Here is the video of the full interview.

http://www.cnn.com/video /

[MelissaB]

84. Thanks so much!

That was great. I suggest you post it in a new thread if you haven't already.

[OhioChick]

51. Dean spoke very well.........

He's a good guy!

[napi21]

53. Dean is getting better and better to this interviewing stuff!

I'm sure it takes some experience to learn how to handle the talking heads, and the good Doctor has learned quickly! He's always told it like it is, but he's getting much better at handling these media types!

I worked very hard for Dean during the primaries too, and was VERY disappointed that the Dem machine shot him down! NOW, I don't think we could possibly have chosen a better Chair of the DNC. Dean is a GOOD MAN, and not afraid of anybody! I am very happy he's our mouthpiece!

[Melodybe]

57. I kissed him when I met him, it was great and he smelled good.

I love that man!

[Dr Fate]

58. Now how hard was that?

I little blunt truth telling- its not rocket science.

I hope they dont "send him Anthrax" or "ban" him now. ;)

[madfloridian]

60. Dr. Fate: Here is the script...They will all line up together with mics.

And they will see who can be the first to say "Howard Dean doesn't speak for me" or "Howard Dean needs to keep his mouth shut" or "I won't be asking Howard Dean to campaign with me"

Next they will get ugly emails from a lot of us, then they will say that is not really what they meant.

And Carville and Begala will say Howard Dean needs to step down.

[Dr Fate]

61. Today is payday. Time to send the DNC a check c/o Dr. Dean.

Let's give Dean some more of those "unsolicited donations" to tout again.

I can spare $25 bucks myself.

[mzmolly]

64. Our calls made a difference Dr. Fate.

;)

[madfloridian]

71. Hubby and I each got Democracy Bonds.

With a little extra for those who are unemployed.

[mzmolly]

62. Nooooooooooooooooo.

:spank: :beer: :pals:

[bklyncowgirl]

63. Sadly you're probably right

Unless maybe, just maybe, the overly cautious Democrats are sufficiently pissed these days to get with the program.

It would be nice.

[Dr Fate]

67. So send Dean a check- with a letter why. Or make a call at the least.

Mabye they really do listen to us sometimes. Sounds like Dean does- at least on this.

[Dr Fate]

72. I just donated to DNC c/o DEAN via phone. It took 8 minutes...

had a wonderful converation with the operator too.

I say we give Dean some of those "unsolicited donations" for kicking some ass for us.

[ClassWarrior]

74. Okay, that sounds easy to me...

Going to call...

NGU.

[Dr Fate]

75. If you choose- go to the operator so you can tell them WHY.

n/t

[ClassWarrior]

That's a good thought.

NGU.

[emulatorloo]

86. kicking EOM

[ProudDad]

87. I like Dean

I'm watching the video replay.

Blitzer is doing his job (bushista shill). Dean is REALLY holding his own and staying ON POINT.

I love it...

[ProudDad]

88. I love his last statement

wolf: "should Roberts not be confirmed".

Dean: "Absolutely yes, he should NoT be confirmed!"

[ClassWarrior]

89. Absolutely!

NGU.
