Appalling remark I heard today on Howard Dean
I was walking out of a crowded building this afternoon after having taught my class and I heard two frat boyish looking dumbasses (baseball caps on backwards, etc.) were loudly talking and this is what I heard:

Frat Boy 1: "Howard Dean....(inaudible) he's the one who is for fag marriages".

Frat Boy 2: "F***ing faggots!"

Frat Boy 1: Maybe they'll all move to Vermont.

(rest inaudible)

I could not get close to these two bozos to say anything. They were not my students, thank God. The crowd was too large. These are the types of voters to which the Democratic Party needs to have the courage to say "Go to Hell!".

3. I was under the impression that all of the Dem candidates
were for "fag marriage". Dean just happens to be the only one who's put his career and physical safety where his mouth is, so far.

5. I guess receiving anthrax in the mail
and still showing up for work doesn't count for as much as it used to.

12. So the anthrax was sent to those particular people because
they supported fag marriage? I didn't know that. I didn't even know we had caught the people who did it. Who was it, by the way?

18. I'm sorry
I didn't know that to "put (one's) career and physical safety where (one's) mouth is" only counts when it's for civil unions.

8. There is a difference between civil unions and gay marriage...
Edited on Wed Oct-22-03 04:15 PM by wyldwolf
...Dean hasn't come out in favor of gay marriage. He believes it is a state issue (so he probably won't give his opinion on it.)

15. At A Certain University In Texas
...where i work and sponsor a student club who are interested in Wes Clark for President, I heard a similar comment from similarly attired passers by at their sign-up table when I went to see how things were going earlier today.

"He may have been military but he's a pussy-ass liberal now."

Now whether you like Wes Clark or not, whether you think he's a good candidate or not, I think we can all agree that the above statement is not exactly a Pulitzer-Prize winner.

17. That is truly despicable
"He may have been military but he's a pussy-ass liberal now."

I suppose going awol from a champaign unit or ducking the draft becuase of a zit on your ass is "manly".

19. This lie is what Rove and the media will scream during the
whole campaign if Dean wins the primaries. They will spend 200M$ on this one "message", the bastards.
