Is Howard Dean a Racist?
The reader will recall during the 2004 Democrat presidential primary, people began to wonder if Howard Dean was sufficiently sympathetic to the plight of the black man in America.
Then came this utterly foolish snafu:
I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks," the former Vermont governor said in a telephone interview quoted in Saturday's Des Moines Register. "We can't beat George Bush unless we appeal to a broad cross-section of Democrats."
Now comes another troubling utterance from the angry little man from Vermont; one that has received surprisingly little scrutiny in the press.
In a meeting with members of the party's African-American caucus, Dr. Dean looked around the room and asked whether anyone thought the Republican National Committee could get so many minorities together in one place."Only if they had the hotel staff in there," Dr. Dean said, answering his own question.
The hotel staff!? Imagine if a Republican had said that?
So the question still remains for one and all to chew over. Is Howard Dean sufficiently sympathetic to black plight in America? Or is he, indeed, a racist?
Ping.
More evidence that the Democrats are the party of racism.
Hotel staff???
When a Dem says it, it's just a JOKE.
It obviously didn't have much of an impact with those that were with him when he said it. Why is that? Did they expect this kind of rhetoric coming out of a Democrat?
Is Howard Dean a racist? Now there's one for the books! No more so than Ted Kennedy or John Kerry: just ask all the "people of color" who live in their neighborhoods...
Howard Dean is a shameless piece of trash.
If a Republican says it, they have to step down from whatever office they hold.
BTT

I bet there are more blacks in the Confederate Sons organization than worked in Dean's Vermont cabinet.
Sad but partially true (see Lott, he didn't step all the way down at least).
Here's the title to the story

As i recall Strom Thurmond had a daughter "of color". She was the daughter of a family "servant".
Rape of slaves or servants was a favorite past time of the Confederate fathers. Of course they have offspring of "color".
Thank you for choosing Dean to lead your party.
Signed,
The Republicans
PS: Looking forward to seeing you at the next election!
He also said, "I hate Republicans and everything they stand for." Imagine if the RNC chairman said he hated RATs.
Yeah, right. Them mean ol' rebs spent all their time rapin' they slaves. What does your hatred of the south have to do with Howard Dean??
Chew over??????????????????I'm surprised he didn't say, "Only if they had every n***** on the hotel staff in here! This guy is a mental case, a racist, and a buffoon!
God I'm glad they elected him!!!! Now "Sheets" Byrd has a buddy to burn crosses with!

Were you there or are you employed by the MSM.
Only minorities there had serving platters and reporter's notebooks in their hands.
