THIS is why we should back our Dean (check out this quote of his - woof!)

[BigBearJohn]

"My view is FOX News is a propaganda outlet for the Republican Party and I don't comment on FOX News," Dean said. That was in response to vice president Dick Cheney calling Howard Dean "over the top" on Fox News on Sunday.

1. Cool, will go on blog momentarily

[silverweb]

2. Tell it like it is!

:applause:

[stevietheman]

Outstanding!

bump!

[Onceuponalife]

3. I like Dean but he sets himself up as a target

for the right. He's making their job of demonization too easy.

[adnelson60087]

5. It does not matter what Dean says....

He will be Demonized. Let the man say what he will, and show some spine. Is it likely Dean or any Democrat would be likely to convert Fox Watchers? Highly unlikely in my view...

[wryter2000]

48. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. So he should say nothing?

You know be another McLauliffe?

[LightningFlash]

7. Too easy for them to demonize themselves. Dean you rock!

[friesianrider]

14. BS...

Look what a pansy McAuliffe was and they demonized him. You must understand we could walk, talk, and act like Republicans but if we call ourselves Democrats the right will demonize us. Fuck 'em. I could give two shits what any of those evil bastards think of me or my party's chairman.

[Straight Shooter]

49. Hear, hear.

Dean could grow long hair, give away all his worldly possessions, wear sandals and preach the gospel.

The right would still demonize him. That's what they do. When the only tool you have is a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail. (Maslow quote)

edit to fix quote

[man4allcats]

15. Dean is a medical school graduate which means that he's just

arrogant enough that he doesn't give a damn what they think about him. And that makes him perfect for the job of DNC chair at this particular point in history. At another time he might not be the best choice, but right now Howard Dean is just exactly what the doctor ordered. I have to say, I think this guy is great! Sic'em, Howard! Sic, boy, sic!

[bklyncowgirl]

23. Gentleman John Kerry was demonized

If anyone whether its a Democrat or not get's in their faces in a big way they're going to be demonized.

The difference seems to be Dean's striking back and he's hurting them. They don't haul out the junkyard dog, Dick Cheney to slam someone unless that person's giving them serious grief.

[LightningFlash]

33. And Howard just needs to keep kicking the dog when he's down....

Just keep on hitting them, and doing exactly what they always fear. The whimpering dog getting pummelled into submission. :mad: :mad:

But what I detest more than the fascists, is the DINOs in this party and man they have flooded the leadership. These democrats in name only are spineless and do virtually NOTHING to any of this. They wonder why they can't get power back? They don't fight and UPHOLD the constitution!!!! That's what we need, and we need it more than ever by drawing up articles of impeachment.

:banghead:

[HeeBGBz]

25. Everyone's a target

Better to go down fighting than to win by sucking up to the right.

[quaker bill]

28. When he took the job, he became the target.

They were demonizing us before and will continue to regardless of what Dean does. It is far better to fight back.

[Cha]

34. Try looking at the whole

big picture..


June 10, 2005
"A Master Politician at Work"

"Harry Truman famously said, in response to calls that he “Give ‘em Hell,” that “I just tell the truth and they think it’s hell.” It brought him victory in an election Truman had no business winning, in 1948, an election that really kept Democrats dominant for 20 years, despite the rise of suburbia, and made possible both the Warren Court and the Civil Rights movement.

No Democrat on Earth has Howard Dean’s political brilliance. No one else has his instincts. He’s not crazy, he’s not angry, he’s not mad. He’s giving people the truth, and those who hear it are responding.

Those who feed and depend on the current system, both Republican and Democratic – they just think it’s hell. Because when the time is right, and the inevitable contradictions between our assumptions and reality occurs, they’re all going to be thrown out of their Washington paradise.

Who will replace them? Those who hang on tightest to Howard Dean’s coattails will replace them.

You watch and see."

[Me.]

44. Ha! You Beat Me To It.

I was also going to post a link for that article for it is such a great explanation of what Dean is doing. I've thought all along that there was method to his "madness".

[Cha]

64. :)

:toast: Good to hear that, Me!

[dogday]

40. Republicans make him the target, if anything they do the setting up

and no matter who you are or what you do, if they want to target you, they target you!+

[stevietheman]

4. Also...

I'm starting to sense that Dean smells blood... you know, the red flowing kind that results from more and more Republican knives going into George W. Bush's back.

[yurbud]

8. don't forget, right demonized Daschle and he wasn't worth the effort

[stevietheman]

10. Let's be real...

Daschle really was "Puff Daschle", not for Lush Limpballs' rationale, but because the guy hardly ever put up a fight or said what the progressives in this country were really thinking. Dean is the anti-Daschle!

[yurbud]

16. that's what I mean--they attacked even though he wasn't a threat or

even necessarily an adversary.

9. Go Howard, Go Howard

Are we sure this man is married? Because I really, really want him.

[BigBearJohn]

12. People always complain about politicians never speaking their minds

but when one does (DEAN), we tear him apart.

I can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear someone
like Dean tell like it is. People are going to complain
about him no matter what he does. He might as well enjoy
himself and speak his mind. I'm listening!!!

[juajen]

31. Howard is wonderful, WONDERFUL, w o n d e r f u l ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Love your sig. Wish I could do that.

[wryter2000]

50. Get in line, Stephanie

He's mine, mine, mine. Bwhahahahahaha :evilgrin:

[kaygore]

11. Dean is in their faces and they hate it!

Go Dean Go

[friesianrider]

13. Bitch slap!

I love this guy. Let me find my credit card...the DNC needs some money from me this month for that comment!

[Disturbed]

18. Howard Dean is doing a great job!

I hope that he is just starting to warm up. The Dems that are critizing him are the problem with the Dem Party. They are appeasers and wimps. We need more people to speak out against the Fascists and stand up to them.

[mirandapriestly]

19. Love It

I hope this becomes the dem standard, not the exception. (It could happen!)

[ninkasi]

21. It will when they accept

the fact that the base is applauding Dean, and ignoring the pink tu-tus. They can be as cautious as they want, and try to appease all they want, but Dean is capturing the heart of the Democratic Party, and they either accept that, or become obsolete.

Never forget, that if we can get rid of Diebold, we control the votes. Even with Diebold, if enough of the American citizens vote for the Democratic candidates, we can put a stop to the speed of the neocon agenda.

Other, stronger measures, such as legislation, hearings, and impeachments will also play a part. That is only if we stand together, united. United we stand, divided we fall.

[noamnety]

65. I hate that pink tutu comment

probably because I work across the hall from ballet dancers, who occasionally DO wear pink tutus, and they are damned tough - the girls can lift 100 pounds easily, they'll perform with bleeding bound feet, and they work out for hours a day. I don't know if the intent is to imply that the dems are "girly men" or that "ballet is for gays and we don't need sissy gays in the party" but I find all possible interpretations both ignorant, and offensive.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. kick

woof

[sandnsea]

22. THIS isn't a problem

But even if Joe Lieberman said he disagreed with it, SO WHAT. That doesn't make it a DLC conspiracy attack on Howard. THAT is what caused all the controversy this week, the freak out because somebody dared to say they disagreed with Howard.

[Cha]

35. And you jump on every positive

Dean thread and whinge..what else is new?

[sandnsea]

60. THIS isn't a problem

How in the world is that whining? I'm explaining the difference between the two comments. And no, I don't jump on every positive Dean thread and whine. I haven't said anything against Dean until Dean people started trashing good Democrats just because they disagree with some of his remarks. I posted a positive Dean thread yesterday, asking for threads on his DNC meeting remarks. There was one.

[bpilgrim]

36. Dean telling it like it is

you can say that again :bounce:

but the DLC will never get it, too much entrenched interest, unfortunately.

peace

[aden_nak]

46. I know I am correct when I disagree with Joe Lieberman on politics.

[Vinca]

24. And that is why I love Howard Dean.

Rather than doing a mea culpa and denying he meant what he said, he comes back with the other barrel and gives it to 'em again. It's about time someone called Fox a propaganda tool, too.

[Cha]

39. No need for "mea culpas"

when you speak the truth. They just think it's Hell.

[mopaul]

26. i like the guy more every day

[flygal]

29. Yep I'm sending a donation to DNC today

and in the memo field I'm writing - Dean Speaks For Me!

[B Calm]

27. How many democratic politicians will come out today and

denounce Dean?

[H2O Man]

30. For that quote alone

the Water Man will stick another check in the mail.

Dean is saying some of the things that my friends and I say. We are the working class of America. (Okay, I'm retired, but I was a working class dog for longer than the combined efforts of every republican senator in the United States.) The more Dean speaks up, the better I like it. I think he is bringing important topics to the table. And if that dehydrated piece of shit Dick Cheney pretends to call Dean out for this, I want Dean to come out even stronger.

[Me.]

45. Right On Waterman

Love your description of Cheney

[Catrina]

62. Go Dean!!

And I love this description of Cheney! 'dehydrated piece of shit Dick Cheney'


:rofl:

[Catfight]

32. Excellent! nt

[ananda]

37. Whoa!!!

Wahoo.

Dean speaks truth.. again!

Da man!

Sue

[jean]

38. ka-ching! Howard is relentless!

[katinmn]

41. that is agreat quote - what's more, it's true.

That's the difference between the right and the left.

Their eye-opening comments are lies and ours are truth.

Keep up the great work, Howard!

[SammyWinstonJack]

42. Cheney is over the top.

Howard Dean :yourock:

[SmokingJacket]

43. Great quote!

I can't believe the head of the DNC is telling it like it is! After all those years of Terry McBeNice.

[realFedUp]

47. So much better to tell the truth and be offensive...

Than lie and be defensive.

[PATRICK]

51. Fox admits it, besides it being unarguably true

but it is the stand of non cooperation, non partiicipation in their pitiful sham that is damn near historic and the type of herosim that is called for today.

To frame it as a "Dean problem" is the most miserable and shabbiest changing the issue spin one might expect from the more cramped midgets infesting the oxymoronic, Wormtongue DLC.

Bask in the words. Follow his lead.

I HOPE the MSM thinks they are doing Dean damage and keep the mikes on.

[fob]

59. I HOPE the MSM thinks they are doing Dean damage and keep the mikes on.

Amen, to that! Please, Lame Street "Media", repeat these words of Dean's every 11 seconds, or if possible take turns running it in an endless loop!

[Coexist]

52. You go, Howard

way to keep telling it like it is.

[glitch]

53. Dean is narrowing the gap between dnc fundraising and rnc fundraising

You know they gotta hate him. And Cheney, well, poor Cheney has motherlove-envy.

[AuntiBush]

54. This is why I support Dean! What good is Faux News is they have

no one to bully on the other side. This prooves even more so that Dean not only has "spine," but has true morals and values, standing by his convictions!

Go Dean!

[BrotherBuzz]

55. Hoot! I think Dean is using a little Stevenson...

"I will make a bargain with the Republicans. If they will stop telling lies about Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them." - Adlai Stevenson

[donkeyotay]

56. You can't tell the truth in public!

People's heads will explode.

FOX News is a propaganda outlet for the Republican Party

:woohoo:

Time to use outrage fatigue on them? Time for other democrats to say other outrageously truthful things and play Republican monkey in the middle?

"We create reality, and while you're reacting to it, we create more..." paraphrase of some neocon rat bastard.

[proud patriot]

57. Wheeeeee

I love that man :D

[Lowell]

58. Give Em Hell Howard!

Its about time someone in this party expressed our views. I'm tired of the politically correct, pantywaste incumbent democrats continually bowing to the right. It is about time we had a real Democrat like Howard serving as a face to our party. As long as he keeps hammering right back at the bastards they look bad and remain on the defensive.

[boohootwo]

61. Now I LOVE that comment!! n/t

[PittLib]

63. Perfect response ...

Not lowering himself to comment on Dick's vileness, AND tweaking FOX for its obvious bias and vileness. Oh, how I love that man. :applause:
