For those of you just waiting for Howard Dean to start making gaffes, see the Saturday Washington Post account of his tour through the party's special-interest caucuses. I'm somewhat shocked the Post publicized this little tour. For pure, unadulterated Dean, you get this: "You are among the most persecuted people in the history of mankind," Dean tells his first audience, the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Caucus. Let's hope the African-American caucus didn't hear that. (Not to mention anyone who remembers the Holocaust, the Huguenots, throwing Christians to the lions...)
As for what Dean said to the black caucus, he kicks the GOP in the groin. "He surveys the crowd of 150 crammed into the room. 'You think the RNC could get this many people of color into a single room?' he marvels. 'Maybe if they got the hotel staff in there.'"
It's also somewhat entertaining to read Dean trying to adopt spin control about the party's ultraliberalism. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20050213/ap_on_el_ge/democrats
Dean says that no one is "pro-abortion," but "we are the party in favor of allowing women to make up their own minds about their health care." And Democrats are not for "gay marriage," but "we are the party that has always believed in equal rights under the law for all people." Voters are smart enough to know that the Democrats are staunch defenders of abortion and homosexuality, whatever rhetorical embroidery Dean attempts. How he will help in red states with this kind of talk is a mystery. Posted at 08:48 AM

Right!!!:)
Thanks for posting. This is the kind of stuff that went on for generations and we the people never knew. The MSM certainly won't tell us. But the internet, as they say, changes everything, and the 'rats haven't figured that out yet.
They still behave as if they are protected by the friendly coverups of the liberal press, but their butts are hanging out and they don't even realize it.
Behind his back, they refer to him as "The ATM" (machine).
It is not so much a matter of his bad image, or that he will polarize the party or make daily gaffes. It's that they believe he can bring a lot of money in.
Ka-ching.
what a racist pig dean is
Dean's view on throwing Christians to the lions would depend on whether the Christians in question supported bike paths or did not.
Surely he must also believe a Bi guy should be able to marry one of each.
cute story
That's it! That's what I heard. So he was referring to the fact that he is sticking up for the gays??
Deanwits.
"So you'll allow people to marry more than one spouse, marry their brother or sister, etc.?"
"If not, why not, Howie?"
He probably will allow it. Its part of how he thinks he's going to win over the South...
Likely first abortionist DNC chair.
I think it's laying the groundwork to make hillary appear more moderate when she denounces the DNC chairman's comments over the next 3-4 years.
And we thought it couldn't get any better than Terry McAuliffe.
what a Blowhoward
Deaniac.
Nice of White Masser to visit the slave quarters. How many Blacks have been in the House for the Rats??? Condi Rox!
