In Defense of Howard Dean...
It's ok to go after people who put up racist..err..I mean confederate flags. Hell, lets try to go after people who lynch african americans, think the holocaust never happenned, and support what happenned to Matthew Sheperd!

NOT


See if a right winger tried to go after people like I just described, then it's horrible! But if Dean(the holy cow of DU) says any of it, it's ok.

Double Standard????

NAW!!!

6. if we're not gonna abide by the rules

your subject line is clearly misleading since you are not in any way attempting to defend Dean.

2. Nice Spin
But despite your bombast, Dean actually makes a good point:

"There's no reason why white guys who have a Confederate flag in the back of their pickup truck shouldn't be walking side-by-side with blacks, because they don't have health insurance, either," Dean said.

5. So what about KKK members?
Edited on Sat Nov-01-03 10:58 PM by _Jumper_
Should we court them because they don't have health insurance? Where do we draw the line?
