Rich in Ohio Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Story Link I fail to understand how this guy got elected to lead the democratic party. This has to be a decided upon startegy that the brilliant left has come up with to defeat the wicked Republicans. What other explaination is there? If this was not the strategy of the left to have screamin dean out there making these childish, petty, and foolish comments then why has no one of any significance on the lefy come out and called this guy out? Comments please..and of course flames from the loveing left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich in Ohio Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Howard Dean, taking tact and diplomacy to another low. Good job, Doctor. 318134[/snapback] I agree AD. I guess the reason for my post is that I would like to hear someone..anyone..on the left explain why this is a good tactic for the democrates. I really just don't see it. Unless of course they are targeting the 9 to 13 year old electorate....they would understand such petty name calling and silliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RkFast Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Yeah, gee, it's not like he told some Senator to go F himself or anything..... 318247[/snapback] Because speaking directly to one person standing in front of you and labeling from afar an entire group of people with one stroke is very, very much the same thing.

"That idiot Delay's vulnerable...quick, let's send Dean out to make an ass of himself!" The kind of leadership that can only be prefaced with the phrase "Don't step in the..."

Johnny Coli Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I say good for Howard Dean. So he pisses off a few hard-core republicans, and some libertarians, none of whom are going to switch how they vote anytime soon. You're not his audience. As the DNC chair, he's merely attempting to fire up the base. As someone who is part of that base, I'm pretty fired up. So, good for Howard Dean. I hope he never shuts up.

RichIO wanted to hear from someone that likes Dean as DNC chairman. I think he is/will continue to be a fine choice as DNC chairman. You want to call me a buffoon because I agree that some in the republican party are "evil" and "corrupt" that's fine. I'd also throw the term "scumbags" out there as well. That uncivil enough for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems hypocritical to me. Just another example of the Dems being no different than the Republicans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 From that article: "It's odd that Howard Dean says he wants to earn the respect of those who live in the red states, but chooses to not only attack their views but attack them personally," RNC spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt said. Sounds to me like he is attacking the politicos - not the citizens as Schmitt is trying to make it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just looks like he wants to attack anything and everything and doesn't care how he does it. If you want to attack things Rush says, go for it. Slander is stepping over the line and should not be tolerated from a "leader." It makes him look petty, and frankly, ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campy Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 It's not slanderous to mock Limbaugh's drug problems. In poor taste perhaps, but certainly not slanderous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
