Simple solution about Dean and his comments
We all need to email the DNC and ask them to do the following -
1) Whenever Dean speaks (where the media can twist what he says) provide a written transcript of the whole speech.
2) Make an audio available
3) Post all this at the DNC website.

I keep hearing people refer to Dean's comments about white Christian males. Harold Ford refered to it, the American Spectator said he said it, and I assume by what I hear on CSpan's open phones that other wing nut and corporate media also say it.

Sound fair?

1. OK
I'm surprised they're not doing it already.

2. Take Back America Conference had a full transcript of Dean's speech
on their web site along with the full audio, but that didn't stop the Media Hyenas from taken Dean's comment out of context.

But you are right that the DNC should post or link to the full transcripts of Dean's speeches since he is the DNC Chair.

3. Yep, that way Dean and the DNC can send the links to the Congress folk
and can mention the link if asked about it by media. And we can totally discredit the smearing. Just say something like the comments are being taken out of context, the full speech is available here, now let's talk issues and agendas. I think it might stop reporters in their tracks. That way Dean is not the news and takes the high road by "trying to talk issues".

4. My solution--send a check (mine was small) to the DNC
Edited on Mon Jun-13-05 10:42 AM by Frances
and say you are sending it because of Howard Dean.

A check, no matter how small, will send a strong message. The MSM will be forced to present Dean more fairly if they understand that we are covering his back.

On edit: corrected a typo

5. This is going to keep happening
Michael Moore refered to * as a "deserter"

John Kerry said off mic: "We're just getting started. These guys are the most crooked, lying group I've ever seen"

This has little to do with Dean I think. The GOP just hates the Truth so badly that when it rears its unwanted head they smack it instinctively.
