1. Distraction.
While even prominent Democrats in recent days have distanced themselves from some of his comments, the outspoken Dean, appearing on NBC"s "Today" show, said criticism of him is meant by Republicans to divert attention from the country's problems and make him the issue instead.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050608/ap_on_re_us/dean_gop;_ylt=AngOz2jvvMYyQZZR4agWsFCs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA2bW85OXIzBHNlYwNwbA--

I completely agree with that.

2. Don't forget...
Dean is not on the defense. He is framing the Rep. party. It is getting great coverage and it might even stick. Keep it up.

4. Why is it that Dean's comments are scrutenized and bashed
at every turn by the Puke-loving media AND by our own party members? Meanwhile Ann Coulter's vile, rude, viscious, slanderous (pun), and totally untrue statements dont seem to ruffle many feathers. Why isnt MSGOP proclaiming "Is Ann Coulter dividing the republican party?" Are the freepers saying "Ann should be replaced with the less-abrasive Kellyanne Conway." Of course not. They cheer her on.

5. I'm sure all of Bush's misquotes are the top stories, too.
Fuck, you'd need a separate news network just to cover them all.

7. they have the long knives out after Dr. Dean
They are scared shitless that a dem leader is raising tons of money at the grass roots level and is making the party responsive to the people and not the corporatists.

They are FREAKED that he wants to break up media conglomerates. They are frazzled that he won't take major bribes from the corporatists.

They thought they had killed him off with the fake scream bullshit played hundreds of times. They didn't. Now they'll try to take him down again with headline stories screeching about him saying nasty things about republicans.

Go Dr. Drean, GO!!!
