Reply #63: no one is picking on Dean alone [View All]

Day after day, hour after hour, I read "Kerry did this" and "the DLC did that" and "Harry Reid is a republican" and all manner of insulting posts about Democrats.

Now, someone posts something substantial and sourced, a legitimate concern (whether the poster likes Dean or not) and there is wailing and gnashing of teeth, killing the messenger, and a great deal of rationalizing all because the target in this instance in Howard Dean.

I was torn between Dean and Clark in the primaries so I feel like I can say this. Dean is not above criticism. People's reaction to Dean being criticized is quite similar to the way Republicans respond when their boy bush is criticized - the messenger is attacked.
