Dean deserves all he is getting

[knight_of_the_star]

I heard his little quote on the radio this morning that he, "was tired of being a pincussion".

Sorry Howie, but I think the other candidates might not like it when you call the members of Congress, "cockroaches," spin another candidates stance on Iraq whose is virtually the same to your to be the exact opposite, and generally go after everyone else with reckless abandon. And he misrepresents the facts, he's gone after Wes in a rather underhanded fashion and Wes hasn't TOUCHED him yet. If he can't take what he dishes out, maybe he shouldn't serve it.

If this offends anyone, well too bad! His little statement struck me as something that a thin-skinned little brat would say, not the President of the United States of America.

1. To tell you the truth...

I took that statement more as a slam against the media more than against the candidates.

It was a statement that he's not going to let the media "Gore" him.

The latest attack by Sharpton is a perfect example of an attack that Dean would never stoop to. And I also don't remember any underhanded attacks directed at Clark at all.

2. feelin snarky are we?

your little rant was far worse than Dean's. Glad you aren't running for Pres.

What Dean has been dishin out is the truth - and the other folks have been unable to find a way to deal with that other than distort, attack, and undercut. Dean has tried to remain above the fray, but clearly he must defend himself, and I will do everything in my power to help him do so.

Good luck doing the same for your candidate.

3. Yep.. all the money, all the endorsements, all the supporters

He deserves every bit of it.

And, since he's the frontrunner and everyone always attacks the frontrunner, I guess he deserves those too.

6. you assume

that Dean is implying he can't take criticism.
If you would actually listen to what he said, he is going to fight back instead of just taking it and playing nice. Nowhere does he imply that he can't handle criticism.
