This guy represents everthing I loathe about the baby boomers.
This article fails to mention the painfully obvious 'hate Bush and all Republicans' part of the strategy. A level of hatred which has not been created and exploited since post Civil War era. Designed to incite and bump up voter turnout.

Well, I loathe Dean and I am a baby boomer. He is from the group that got all the TV time back in the 60's. People like me got zero. I didn't smoke dope, participate in demonstrations, wear love beads, or go to Woodstock. I was a military wife raising a son, scraping by with enough money for groceries, and horribly homesick.
Howard Dean is a certifiable loon and a dangerous demagogue. His candidacy will propel the country into turmoil, and I do not look forward to it.

What! No love beads!

"...including four little girls in a Birmingham church..." "The Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, the first African American justice [was appointed to] the United States Supreme Court..."
Any chance there were white people in the audience when Dean said these things?
(Didn't think so.)

"In campaign stop after campaign stop, in overheated high school gyms and smoky union halls, Dean repeatedly offers this misty-eyed homage to that turbulent decade:"
As Pat Paulsen used to say at the end of all of his political speeches (during his Presidential Campaign spoof): "In the decades to come, years will pass."
It took the press months to figure out that Paulsen was not a serious candidate and the tipoff was that he ended every speech with that line. The press finally started listening (for a change) and figured it out based on that line alone.
The rest of the country already knew that Paulsen's campaign was a prank.
As for Dean . . . didn't he die in a car wreck in the 50s?

Libs just can't help themselves but to dredge up Woodstock, free love, and civil rights marches, can they?

Summon the spirit of the 60s?
Been there. Done that. No thanks, Howie.

[It is a stirring piece of rhetoric, and one that inevitably draws cheers and sustained applause for the former Vermont governor as he campaigns through this state...]
And so the Washington Compost would have us believe that 60's radicalism sells in Iowa? Give me a break.

Perhaps Dean should adopt 'Spirit in the Sky' as his campaign song?
The spirit of the 60s is a ghost for good reason.
A lot of people realized what the 60s was all about at Woodstock. People rolling in the mud, not having a place to p!ss, nothing to eat. Those with any sense put the joint down afterwards, went out and got a job.
Spirit of the 60s indeed...

Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean has a vision of where he'd like to take the nation. It turns out to be the 1960s. Progressive isn't he?
He would rather be confronting the Vietcong rather than the terrorists. LoL's!

PS: So in a time of global war against terrorism, the best that the Dims have to offer is a 60's radical pot-smoking anti-America draft-dodger? Well, come to think of it, this worked once before.
