Liberal Oasis rebukes Biden & Edwards, praises AI and Dean

[Larkspur]

in today's blog post. AI = Amnesty International.

The head of the US chapter of Amnesty International, William Schulz, did what more people should do when up against the right-wing attack machine:

Go into the belly of the beast and attack right back.

QUICK HIT

Biden, Edwards Backstab Dean
<SNIP>
Both Biden, and another ’08 wannabe John Edwards, publicly spat on Dean for the comment -- a lot of have never made an honest living in their lives.”

If either of them had a ounce of team play in their bones, they would have known that Dean expertly handled the flap in a CNN interview this past Friday:

Like with the Amnesty controversy, when Dean was under fire from the Right, he conceded nothing, grabbed the spotlight and stayed on the offensive.

Other Dems should be following Dean’s lead in that situation, echoing his messages so they will be heard and have an opportunity to resonate.

The last thing they should be doing is giving the GOP a win by echoing their attacks on Dean.

And for Biden to get on his high horse about good politics, minutes after folding in the Bolton battle, is nothing short of ludicrous.

1. This is what a lot of us felt, too,

yesterday.

"Other Dems should be following Dean’s lead in that situation, echoing his messages so they will be heard and have an opportunity to resonate.

Freakin' biden.

Your Senator Dodd said on that same show where biden was that he had no problem with what Dean said..I guess he did his homework.

4. I wasn't much of a Dodd fan, but after what you said about Dodd,

my view of Dodd improves. I was upset with him for voting for IWR after writing a very good op ed in the Hartford Courant a few days before the IWR vote.

It's interesting that the Media didn't use Dodd's support of Dean, but I know why they didn't.

2. Biden & Edwards are jockeying for the upper hand

Biden in pursuing his usual face time and fantasies of campaigning for president. Edwards should stick to his script, when he strays he reveals a petty, ill-advised ambitious nature.

3. Biden probably plagarized

the remarks Edwards made.
