You think they aren't afraid of Dean???

[dave29]

Newsmax has a hit piece already published, with absolutely no details, and just the inference of wrongdoing.

Sound familiar?

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/2/13/155944.shtml

The Justice Department has launched a wide-ranging federal probe into suspected antitrust violations by Vermont's health-care system during the time it was being overseen by former governor and one-time presidential candidate Howard Dean.

"The sordid vortex of these investigations can be directly traced back to the Dean administration’s inability to hold these institutions accountable," Vermont's Guardian newspaper complained on Friday, the day before Dean was crowned chairman of the Democratic Party.

Fight back, don't let them pull this crap.

1. "Sordid vortex" oooooooooooh

Bring it on, Karl. We know sordid vortices, having lived under a crooked monkey for four years.

[dave29]

3. The author is Carl Limbacher - anyone dig up email info -

I'd love to send him a note :)

[Bluebear]

5. He wrote "Hilary's Scheme" if that gives you a clue to what he is

Here it is:

10. Oh man, he's one of the very worst of the worst of the right

wingnut "journalists"...HA!

[dave29]

11. we can laugh all we want

wolf and judy will be talking about this at the first opportunity. You know it.

[Bluebear]

17. Oh that goes without saying.

They will be breathlessly 'digging' into this story for a week.

[dave29]

6. Well here is newsmax's number

perhaps we should call and let them know what we think of Limbacher's hit piece.

561-686-1165

[janx]

8. God, that's so funny!

The melodrama! The hyperbole! Thanks for the laugh--that was my first reaction too!

[liberalnurse]

2. Lets see if the Dems have spine.

Many do and I never question but so many roll over too......Howard Dean can handle himself, he already has but it's not kind to let the leader take every hit alone.

[TwentyFive]

4. We can't let them destroy Dean!!!!

Dean speaks for us...we can't let the GOP bastards, the media, conservative dems bring out lies and spin against him!

[Horse with no Name]

7. Another Right Wing Rag Monger

Nobody to worry about.

[dave29]

9. Except that he needs to hear from us what an immoral and

despicable human being he is for doing stupid hit pieces. I'm done not worrying about right wing hacks. They rule the airwaves and print. It's time they heard from us.

[janx]

12. Another indicator--take a look at what freeperland looks like

after a search for "Dean":

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/search?m=all;o=time;s=dean

They have NO IDEA what is going on...!

[janx]

13. The marching orders have come down!

You will hear about this on all of the right wingnut talking head shows soon!

To: wagglebee

Calling Drudge, InstaPundit, LGF, LaShawn Barber, Michelle Malkin, Powerline.... All of "The Usual Suspects"!

We've got a live one here!

Go get 'em, boys!

Jack.

15. They got two full responses.

LOL

Dean has nada to do with this so called "scandal." :hi:

[mzmolly]

14. Is this all they got?

:eyes:

You are correct, they ARE afraid. :evilgrin:

[FreedomAngel82]

16. Don't forget the scream

They'll play that all they can. :eyes:

[mzmolly]

19. Oh, yeah ... the scream.

20. Let em...it's our new call to action...eom :)

[stillcool]

18. Does Carl Limbacher have an alias?

[Horse with no Name]

21. We can give him one

How about "Crawl Limpdick"?

[janx]

22. "Vermont Hospital" !!

There MUST be a connection!! HA

[Dr Ron]

23. The same logic would hurt the Republicans a lot more

If there is any truth to this story of any impropriety under Dean's watch, it is still rather trivial considering both the many more serious examples both under Republcan watch and, more significantly, with Republican assistance.

[peacetalksforall]

24. Timing anyone? Doesn't this sound STALE?

Did they keep it in their scandal box just in case Dean entered the national scene again? Or is their answer to Mr. Fake and the Plame affair, WH access, and sideline income stories?

[janx]

25. Oh, I'm sure it came out of the scandal box. The GOP was

collecting and re-assembling all kinds of information when it looked as if Dean would win last year's primary. We'll see more of this kind of thing.

It seems stale because it is.

[BrklynLiberal]

26. kick

:kick:

27. Healthcare system was probably contracted out to some corporate

buddies of Bush and others. Is Vermont's healthcare system any worse than the nation on the whole? This will be a big YAWNNnnnnn but they are grasping at straws.

[Blue_State_Elitist]

28. Didn't Rove

admit that he was relieved that Dean didn't get the nomination?

[moggie12]

29. I noticed "CheapTickets" is the only corporate sponsor on NewsMax

Cheap Tickets is owned By Cendant Corp, which owns a ton of consumer- oriented companies (Orbitz, Century 21, Howard Johnson, Avis & Budget, etc.)

I just e-mailed the CheapTicket public relations department, complaining about them advertising on such a biased site, and copied it to the head of Cendant Corporate Communications. ( [e-mail] copied to: [e-mail] )

I told them I wouldn't be using CheapTickets or any of their companies ever again.

I'll be damned if I'm going to patronize companies that spread RW crap...

[DearAbby]

30. Remember when you email this jerk...ask him how much is he being paid

Ask how much was his take for being a rove-whore.
