Dean Said In This Article

"Let me remind those Republicans,'' he said, that the Bible mentions helping the poor "3,000 times. I have not yet seen gay marriage mentioned in the Bible. That is a Republican issue.''

25. No kidding, we need to get the mods on that one ;)

[rustydog]

3. Oh, but one doesn't take the Bible LITERALLY!!!

Neocons have learned how to interpret It's intentions. What they decipher the message is 3,000 fuck the poor, give me mine.

[kaygore]

5. Huh! I thought they meant the "poor rich"

Being rich is so difficult and what does "rich" mean, anyway? If you only have $2 billion, you are sure poor compared to those with $10 billion!

Those "poor" rich souls! Nobody understands the troubles they've seen; no one has any compassion for their plight and travails! It is so damn hard for them to get good help any more, help that can actually speak English.

Once 89% of Americans are reduced to beggars, then the rich will be able to get some decent, college educated help and their children won't be aspeaken Black English or be L1 Spanish!

[KittyWampus]

12. I Missed That... Excellent

[gratuitous]

13. Ka freakin pow

I can just hear the Dean naysayers: "Well, not EVERY Republican is against gay marriage! There's an underalderman in the 18th ward of East Bumblefuck who isn't explicitly against gay marriage, so Dr. Dean's characterization of all Republicans is horribly wrong, terribly misguided, and he should watch what he's saying because it hurts the Democratic program to force all the rest of the Republicans to defend their narrow-minded, bigoted, unbiblical ways."

Sit back and wait for it; you know it's coming.

[FreedomAngel82]

14. I bet it'll happen

as the midterms pop up. Every rightwinger will be for gay marriage.

[BuelahWitch]

15. East Bumblefuck

Is that in a red or a blue state? ;) Is that where we need to send *?

[KnightoftheRepublic]

16. Finally

a literal translation we can live with! :)

[Pacifist Patriot]

17. I love that man. I really do.

The times he trips over his tongue (or gets misinterpreted) are worth it when he comes up with these kinds of comments.

[area51]

18. Helping the poor

Beautiful, Dr. Dean.

[dogday]

20. The Republicans are killing the poor people of this country

kids no longer have health insurance or food stamps. Our poor are starving in this country. It is so hard to understand that in a country where we throw away tons of good food....

[Triana]

21. He just keeps telling the truth, doesn't he?

Damn that Dean - just keeps telling the truth. The Repigs just hate that about him don't they? :evilgrin:

[sakabatou]

22. My part:

My synagogue makes sandwhiches for the poor on every thrid sunday of every month.

[Gregorian]

23. It's official- I LOVE DEAN.

Keep it going, brother! You rule.
It's no wonder they sicked their media machine on you. You are a winner.

[redqueen]

27. I frickin LOVE this guy!

:loveya:

[Misunderestimator]

28. I've gotta say....

I love Howard!

Plain-spoken, honest and fucking right.

[Gabi Hayes]

29. did anybody read that article? it wasn't very complimentary

WRT the Voting Rights Act reauthorization litmus test for the Repug party:

After Dean talked about this litmus test, I asked him about his support for Jackson's voting rights amendment, which I thought he said in a morning panel discussion he backed. I wanted to double-check.

Dean said, "I haven't made up my mind,'' an answer that confused me since I thought he had.

I figured he misunderstood my question since I could not imagine Dean would be undecided on this one. So I sought in a follow-up to clarify if he was committed to the amendment. Dean, I think, thought I was trying to trip him up.

"That kind of stuff has been going on all week. And I am not answering that question," Dean said.

Rep. Jackson wanted to be helpful. He said his proposed amendment "need not be a litmus test at this stage for how Republicans relate to anyone.''

Dean then said, "Congressman Jackson does not have to speak for me. But the truth is, you don't get to speak for me, either.

"My view is very clear. I support the amendment.''

then, the Cheney quotes

on balance I don't think it came out too positive for Dean.

WTF is up with that section I quoted, anyway? anybody care to tell me what the deal is with that?

and Dean should start hitting them back with some of the unbelievable egregious quotes out there from socalled Pug leaders like Falwell/Robertson/Helms/Lott/Thurmond, etc.

He could be better prepared, but I do enjoy the fact that he's saying more of the things that need to be said. It's incredible the way the media do their utmost to paint him in a negative light at all opportunities.

[NoSheep]

30. That's what I'm talkin' about!

:woohoo:

[yankeedem]

31. Loving it Howard Dean

"My view is that Fox News is a propaganda outlet for the Republican Party and I don't comment on Fox News.''


Bwwwwwwwahhhhhhh

[Hippo_Tron]

32. Now that's a comment from Dean that I'll back 100%

Gay marriage isn't a religious issue, it's a Republican issue. I like that thinking.
