I am not sure what you mean by that, but... the ap headline reads as if Dean was unfairly attacked:
Republican blasts Dean for knocking President Bush
..."Please tone down the garbage, the mean mouthing, the tearing down of your neighbor and being so pompous," Ungerer told the former Vermont governor and Democratic front-runner. "You should help your neighbor and not tear him down."
"George Bush is not my neighbor," Dean replied.
"Yes, he is," Ungerer said, to which Dean responded: "You sit down. You've had your say and now I'm going to have my say."
GASP! The ap article makes no mention of the 'love thy neighbor stuff'! Go figure.
