This is what happens when Democrats cave-in to right-wing fear campaigns
BY STEVE KORNACKI

Harry Reid and Howard Dean had their reasons for coming out against the Park51 project in lower Manhattan last week. Well, at least Reid, who is locked in a tight reelection campaign in Nevada, did Dean's motives are a little harder to discern.

Unknown reply to Juan Williams (Fox News Watch, 8/21)

WILLIAMS: You can speak out against it if you like, but what I'm saying is the opposition, Chris, is coming from one place, the right wing in the country. It's coming from Sarah Palin. It's coming from Newt Gingrich.

(UNKNOWN): And Howard Dean and Harry Reid.

Rick Lazio (Hardball, 8/24)

MATTHEWS: You said this is an issue of security. Well, they don`t agree with you.

LAZIO: How about Howard Dean? How about Harry Reid?

3. I am very disappointed with Howard Dean.

I have come to expect such petty sentiments from Harry Reid.
