By the way, Dean is right about what pieces of shit the Republicans are.

[BurtWorm]

If a Republican were saying about Dems what Dean says about Repubs--and there are plenty doing just that even as we speak--they'd be getting a pass. It's standard OP in America to trash Dems. Even Penn Jilette does it! It's just crazy to trash Repubs.

1. I browsed FR yesterday

to get info for another post. I was specifically searching about Kerry and his 180 that he signed.

The only thing I can say about freepers is, They really live in their own world.

2. What's nuts is that he said that the very week

that Rush Limbaugh said that all Democratic Voters are unemployed and so don't need a day off to go vote. Which comment drew more fire?

7. Furthermore, which comment demonstrates a grasp of reality?

It takes an idiot from the white people's party to make a stupid statement like Limbaugh's.

3. I think that what he is saying

is what many democrats know to be true. The republicans talk about democrats being their opposition in a morality play/cultural war. In a sense, I agree with that .... I find their actions immoral, and I believe that we are involved in a struggle that will decide if the Constitution remains a part of American culture. I think dean is saying things that need to be said.

5. In your heart, you know he's right.

As the Goldwater ad said.

[H2O Man]

6. Oh, I like it!

That should be picked up by the democrats at the national level.

[BurtWorm]

8. We should also start referring to the GOP as the White People's Party.

Not the elected Democrats, but the rest of us.

[H2O Man]

9. I'm not sure about that,

but I think we should be exposing the growing alliance between the southern republicans and the Council of Conservative Citizens. The Southern Poverty Law Center has enough information available to show that not only is the CCC the KKK, simply wearing suits rather than sheets .... but that the republican party promotes their agenda. I think that exposing and confronting hatred might be a better path to take than adding to that hate.

[BurtWorm]

10. Not adding to the hate. Just stating facts.

The GOP is made up mostly of white right-wing Christians. Is that hateful or true?

[H2O Man]

11. Which one?

And what would be the benefit of using the label you mentioned? Can you see any possible negatives?

[BurtWorm]

12. I'm just letting off steam, H20 man.

I will refer to the party as the White People's party from time to time, but I am not seriously suggesting all Democrats do so. Even if it is true. And it is. ;)

(And they're also truly pieces of shit for the most part, too.)

[H2O Man]

13. I think they are vulnerable

on the racist issue. The spring '05 SPLC's Intelligence Report has a significant amount of information on their CCC connections.

[BurtWorm]

16. Remember what that connection did to Lott.

Of course he's still in the Senate, but he's not quite the man he used to be.

4. Being right still counts for something outside the Bush admin. nt

[kentuck]

14. They are all liars...

because they parrot Bush and Limbaugh. Whether they do it intentionally or not, they are still liars...Every Republican that supports this crowd are liars.

[Zorra]

15. The sole function of the republican party is to ensure corporate control

of the US government.

Republican legislators take money from business interests and then do what these interests want them to do.

It is as simple as that.

Yep, Howard Dean is absolutely right. Republicans really are pieces of shit.

[Norquist Nemesis]

17. Absolutely!!

I'd loved to see a thread collecting overblown statements of Republicans, where they said it and when.

I just don't understand what the big hullaballo is all about! Dean was NOT speaking to a generic crowd.
