Dean: "Who do you value more.... Mr. President.?"

[madfloridian]

From Madison, WI tonight:

"Bush said in 2003 that he would fire anyone in his administration involved in the leak, and the White House has been on the defensive since the latest news reports showing Rove may have been involved."

"Now we're going to find out, Mr. President, if you'll keep your word: who do you value more, Mr. President, do you value intelligence operatives defending the United States of America or do you value political operatives from Texas?" Dean told a crowd of 500 in a downtown Madison theater.

"Who do you value more, Mr. President, the security of the American people, or your political cronies? Will you keep your word?"

Dean and Governor Doyle

1. I LOVE that man!

It's soooo refreshing to have a Dem standing up and saying these things! Where's the media on calling Bush out on this one? There's documented proof that Rove outed Valerie Plame to Cooper, but his head has not rolled? What hypocrisy! Yeah! Dean!

[renaissanceguy]

6. Go Dean!!

He is always the bright light at the end of the tunnel.

2. And again Howard is out there acting like a democrat with something

to fight for.

I notice that since he became the head of the DNC and speaking out without any fear of the republicans or the administration, more people have become more vocal. John Kerry wasn't this fiesty before Howard Dean came along. Now he's acting like he has a spine.

As always, I'll point out up front that I'm a Clarkie to (prevent any misunderstandings).

3. Dr. Steelies!

That's what someone dubbed him on the blog during the campaign. I LOVE Howard!

[zulchzulu]

4. Video to come soon!

I was five feet away from Howard. You're going to LOVE this video. Stay tuned!

[madfloridian]

8. Eager to see it. Did you cover the little GOPers at their Dean rally?

:hi:

[zulchzulu]

9. I went to the "Repug" Bar after and it was a ghost town

No one was protesting the Dean rally from what I could see. I did a visit to the State Street Bar a block away from the Orpheum and it was mostly the Vicki McKenna radio crew and a couple Repug legislators getting drunk.

I overheard that there was a Dean Scream Contest (yawn) and the radio crew was desperately trying to give away free merch.

I watched the Dean speech on my video while eating dinner and I could detect some Freepers wondering where the loud cheering was coming from.

Howard was absolutely awesome. The place did a number of standing ovations throughout. I was about five feet away from him when he spoke.

I'm digitizing the video now and should have something viewable in an hour or so.

[NYCGirl]

11. That's so cool, Zulch. I'm eager to see it! Thank you so much.

:yourock:

[zulchzulu]

30. No sleep until it's online tonight...

It's compressing into a QuickTime MP4 file as I speak. You'll need QuickTime to view the file. Hopefully, that's cool.

I'll make a Windows Media version later.

I just want this video to get out!

[madfloridian]

19. They talk big, but can't produce. Glad you checked it out.

I still am in awe it was on the state party site....I bet they were just too chicken. They usually are.

But that right win radio host sure loves her flag. :evilgrin:

[Cha]

13. Okay, Zulch, I'm Jealous!

You took the video and are going to put it up? :D

Thank you!

[zulchzulu]

16. The video will on a bit later....

It will be QuickTime initially. If people want to download it and mirror, that would be cool too. It's a great document to share and keep the momentum going.

[zulchzulu]

34. Video is up!

23. THANK YOU..

Can't wait!

[LittleClarkie]

5. Hey, that's MY frame

What's Dean doin' with it?!

Wow, I'm, like, on the same page with Howard Dean.

Do I win a prize?

[BlackVelvetElvis]

7. He needs to be on the MSM saying these things!

Why isn't he?
Liberal media my ass.

[Jacobin]

10. Dr. Dean again gets to the crux of the issue succinctly

and beautifully.

Dr Dean speaks for me.

[calimary]

12. I just love you more EVERY DAY, Howard Dean!

God Bless You!!!

:loveya:

Howard Dean speaks for ME! BTW - that is something else with which I am now closing my conversations whenever I call some representative. ESPECIALLY any Democrats. They NEED TO KNOW that Howard Dean speaks for a HELLUVA LOT of us. I always close with - "Howard Dean speaks for ME," and "Please remember: impeachment IS an option." Just planting those seeds... planting those seeds...

[Cha]

15. Great Idea!!

Thank you!

[Imagevision]

14. Dean's working this Rove thing right - would Rove take a fall for Cheney?

[Saboburns]

17. Howard Dean will Fuck your shit up!

I this man.

[Bluebear]

18. Dean/Boxer 2008

I can dream.

[sellitman]

20. Hey that's my dream ticket!

or Boxer/ Dean......one can dream!

[glitch]

29. That's a beautiful dream - but I want Conyers in there too.

Unless.. can he be Speaker of the House?

[patrioticliberal]

21. ROCK ON!

Damn, Dean, you rock!

[patrioticliberal]

22. Anyone have video of this

I would LOVE this

[madfloridian]

24. ZZ above was there and getting a video ready.

He said it was great. :hi:

[FrenchieCat]

25. Howard Dean is certainly asking the right question of Bush.....

and we see the answer....in front of our very eyes.

Great Question, Chairman Dean!

[WillyT]

26. Go Dr. Dean !!!

:bounce::yourock::bounce:

[SeanQuinn]

27. I love it. Love it, love it, love it. nt

[Edgewater_Joe]

28. HEEYYYYAAAARRRGGGGHHH!!!!!!!

Dean's scream is a million times more accurate than Ken "Keep Me In The Closet And I'll Still Be Your Bitch, Karl!" Mehlman!

[JNelson6563]

31. Excellent!

Great stuff, Dean's still rockin'! :toast:

[lyonn]

32. Oh, the Republican party leader spoke today

(Muhlman(?))on the Rove factor and described the Dems speaking out against Rove as thugs (believe it was Chris Matthews' show). Dean speaks harshly of the repubs and all hell breaks lose, this jerk call Dems thugs and I doubt we will hear anymore about it. Of course all the evening news was presenting the Repubs version of Rove and how Wilson had "lied" and Plame "was not a covert CIA operative." Earlier in the evening someone was brave enough to announce that the Repubs had their talking points distributed to the talking heads of the party. Gawd it's so obvious what is going on. I feel fairly comfortable that this time they won't get by with it.

Dean is exactly what this party need, brains and guts.

[orleans]

33. is the video up yet? i'm dying to see it!

how wonderful that he opens his mouth and says what all of us are thinking! thanks howard for kicking their ass for the rest of us.

[AwakeAtLast]

35. He needs to hammer that thought every single day!!!!

The more people hear it, the more they will demand that something is done.

[madfloridian]

36. So many they had to change venue....this says over 700.

Jabbing at both parties, Dean draws cheers
00:00 am 7/14/05
George Hesselberg Wisconsin State Journal

"Wednesday night may have been one of those rare occasions when a crowd was already boiling before Howard Dean gave a speech. Not that the chairman of the Democratic National Committee calmed them down. He left a group of more than 700 people cheering after his short talk in the Orpheum Theatre on State Street.

This was after state Democrats barely avoided a fiasco, having rented only the theater lobby - capacity less than 150 - for the short-notice "grassroots" fundraiser. With many supporters hoping to stop in for the speech on their way to Concert on the Square, and Dean's drawing appeal among the party members, the lobby quickly filled before 5 p.m. A line of perspiring faithful outside snaked to Johnson Street, and the mood was restless, if not outright restive.

Joe Wineke, the state Democratic Party chairman, himself red-faced and sweating, surveyed the packed lobby, heard a suggestion to move to the theater, and saw theater owner Henry Doane give the nod that it could be done."

"The compact, gray-haired Dean, 56, with rolled-up sleeves, red tie and active eyebrows, is the former governor of Vermont, a physician, and a failed candidate for president. Although a certain bluntness in speech has attracted recent attention, his message to an eclectic Madison crowd Wednesday night was encouraging without name-calling or histrionics, and was critical of his own party as well as Republicans."

What a description...compact, active eyebrows...funny.

[UrbScotty]

37. Right on, Dr. Dean. Right on.

:-)

[Jamison]

38. That is awesome.

Dean tells these pukes how it is!

[Sparkly]

39. Gotta love the Doctor diagnosing these dickheads!

Why isn't he all over the Sunday talk shows, every week?
