And it is correct.

Howard Dean lied when he stated that he would not disband the outreach program to GLBT people. He disbanded it. This is undeniable. You can say he had a better idea, or that he did it for good reasons, or any other of 1,000 different excuses, but the fact of the matter is that he went back on his word.

The other big politician to eliminate the GLBT outreach office? George W. Bush, when he assumed office as president. His explanation was much the same -- that he wanted a "broadbased" approach with no "special offices" that are "divisive."

To say Dean's move disgusts me is an understatement of the millenium. I was a staunch supporter of the man back when most people didn't even know who he was -- in 1999. To see how thoroughly he's accepted the Washington DNC culture and let it infect his once activist roots and commitment to social liberalism and fiscal conservatism is disheartening.

Now he's just another big government spending, no civil rights Democrat in a party already full of them.
