C'mon, Dean apologists, fess up.
Admit it. You think that anyone who dislikes Dean's statements - and I mean ANYONE - automatically is a member of the DLC.

:tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat:

Hey - if you can paint a broad brush over anyone who voices concern over the political impact of Dean's comments, then someone can paint a broad brush over you... right?

4. Oh? So you immediately have the right to classify those who question Dean
as a DLC'er trying to undermine Dean?

3. While I understand your frustration
I gotta stand up for the Deaniacs. I hate it when people call me a Kerry apologist. And when you think about it, you're painting with you're own broad brush. Not all the Dean supporters who are sticking up for him are that way.

5. I know I am. That was the whole point of the post.

I'm pointing out their error to them. I'm starting to chuckle now by the many DLC anti-Dean conspiracy theories mounting when I think it's simply party members voicing their concerns.

9. One of them asked me if I'm getting paid by them.

As if that's the only way someone can have the opinion I do.

I think you hit upon an important distinction, too. I support Dean as he is the chair of the party I belong to now. But I'm not here to make an imperfect human look perfect. That's not support at all; that's like co-dependency or some junk.

People can shout down all of DU with an authoritarian approach to Dean, but there's tons of people out there that don't even know about DU who thus cannot be shouted down. I'm for fixing things up so we can reach them, because you can't get their threads locked.

10. Kucinich supporters are not crazy about Dean
They certainly aren't DLC

However, the DLC is very upset that the money machine they got used to from corporations is going to the grassroots..........HORRORS

11. All I know is someone is speaking the truth-ok?
that is all I know. Dean speaks the truth. If speaking the truth is wrong, then what have we got left?

Thanks.

15. Okay, okay. I'll count you among one of the reasonable few.
But I must say, the application of DLC sticker-labels has been climbing exponentially as of late.
