74. but that's not what he said
He said "confederate flag", one of the most divisive symbols in American history.

"Confederate flag" carries with it a whole subset of meanings - like slavery, like racism, like intolerance. Is Mr. Dean reaching out to these people, people who embrace concepts opposed to everything the Democratic party stands for, or is he the naive Gov. of a small northeastern state, who doesn't understand the emotional weight of a symbol like the confederate flag and is clearly not ready for the national stage?
