Dean and Bennett

[Guaranteed]

"The truth is, they are a white Christian party. They don't
welcome and embrace diversity." - Howard Dean


"But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down." - Bill Bennett



Another statement from Howard Dean, attacked and then vindicated.

1. It sucks to be right and be belittled for it

relentlessly

[JNelson6563]

2. Again, Dean speaks for me.

Toast to the good doctor. :toast:

[MoJoWorkin]

3. It seems like a new vindication almost daily for the good Dr.

I love it!!!

[Legendary Mongoose]

4. Does this indict the entire Republican party?

I would not want the statements of one wild-card democrat used to demonize our entire group. Should we show the maturity not to do the same?

6. that 'wild card democrat'

is Chair of the DNC. While bennett is a racist who is comfortable w/i the shelter of the racist rethuglican party.

welcome to DU.

10. I didn't mean Dean.

I meant in general. If someone says something stupid -- anyone, then I wouldn't want to demonize an entire group for that. Left, right, center, that's just the path to prejudice.

7. The republican party indicts itself routinely. This comment is just

one more slice of that giant pie that is made from the comments and deeds of the GOP.

For reference see Barbara Bush's comments on Katrina evacuees in the Astrodome, pretty much anything out of Rick Santorum's piehole, Sensenbrenner shutting down meetings he doesn't agree with, the policies of the Bush administration in general, and Tom DeLay's actual indictment for starters.

Welcome to DU :hi:

9. That's my feeling about it. nt

[Legendary Mongoose]

11. Well they have to have big mouths... the better to put their feet in

:)

[jane_pippin]

13. I think the larger point is

that they don't think they're putting their feet in their mouths in the first place. That, to me, is 99% of the problem right there. Legitimate policy/issue debates are fine, but we can't get there from here.

8. It merely backs up Dean's assertion

The Republicans haven't been known for their "big tent". :eyes:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

15. Peter Parkers seems to think so.

[King Coal]

5. That could be said for all babies.

[mzmolly]

12. Yes indeed.

The Republicans are being revealed slowly but surely and Dean is always quick to call them on their various facades.

[shance]

14. What a great catch.

thanks.
