Did Dean say this?

"Bush is the devil"

I am seeing this quote associated to Dean but I can't find the source.

1. I've never seen that quote attributed to him, but I like it.

except, it's frankly an insult to Satan :evilfrown:

[janx]

2. SNL had a skit that had something to do with this.

That's all I know. Maybe that's where it came from.

[TLM]

5. Oh was that the Gore endorsment skit?

Where gore just kept saying horrible things and Dean was trying to distance himself from them...

Gore says something like... "We should not be fighting with Saddam, we should join with him to fight our common enemy, George W. Bush." Poor Dean is cringing on the side trying to signal the camera that he doesn't agree.

[TLM]

3. I've not heard that....

But I doubt he'd say it. As ususal with any quote attributed to Dean, look for full context and a link to the source before you take it at face value.

Lots of things Dean said are cut down to 3 or 4 words and spun.

4. That wasn't Dean, that was ME . . . how dare they misattribute my quote

:) :) :)

6. I don't think so, because it's so inaccurate:

there is more than one devil in the Dubya Administration.

7. Doubtful

8. I believe they've dubbed Dean's platform as being "Bush is the devil"

It was in an article titled The Campaign of Hate and Fear - by Orson Scott Card.

Here is what it says:

Instead, their platforms range from Howard Dean's "Bush is the devil" to everybody else's "I'll make you rich and Bush is quite similar to the devil."

9. I love OSC's books but what the hell media is he watching?

Honestly, none of the media I watch on a day to day basis seems to be trying to "Bring down Bush."

12. He's working for

a local reich wing weekly paper.

10. You may be thinking of this

From a local hack who thinks people actually believe his pretense of being a democrat.

In one of Patrick O'Brian's novels about the British navy during the Napoleonic wars, he dismisses a particularly foolish politician by saying that his political platform was "death to the Whigs." Watching the primary campaigns among this year's pathetic crop of Democratic candidates, I can't help but think that their campaigns would be vastly improved if they would only rise to the level of "Death to the Republicans."

Instead, their platforms range from Howard Dean's "Bush is the devil" to everybody else's "I'll make you rich, and Bush is quite similar to the devil." Since President Bush is quite plainly not the devil, one wonders why anyone in the Democratic Party thinks this ploy will play with the general public.

There are Democrats, like me, who think it will not play, and should not play, and who are waiting in the wings until after the coming electoral debacle in order to try to remake the party into something more resembling America.

But then I watch the steady campaign of the national news media to try to win this for the Democrats, and I wonder. Could this insane, self-destructive, extremist-dominated party actually win the presidency? It might--because the media are trying as hard as they can to pound home the message that the Bush presidency is a failure--even though by every rational measure it is not.

14. That is exactly the article I was referencing.

But if you do a google search on that exact phrase you get it repeated over and over.
