"I HATE"
"I HATE..."

"I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for," former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean told Democrats gathered at a Manhattan hotel, in quotes picked up by the New York Daily News. Jan. 29, 2005
Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean on Wednesday defended his recent harsh criticism of Republicans, including his observation that they are "pretty much a white, Christian party." June 8, 2005
I know I'm not the only one to make the link, but I'm not sure everyone is as bothered as I am about this. Howard Dean states unabashedly that he hates Republicans. Fine, absolutely his perogative to hate whoever he wants. Then he characterizes Republicans as "white Christians". Despite the absurdity of the quote (I am exhibit A as to why that quote is so stupid), this guy is the de facto head of one of the two major political parties in the United States. If he hates Republicans and everything they stand for...and states unequivocally that they are made up of Christians, he is stating he hates Christians. Is this a reach? I don't think so. He hates Republicans, Republicans are Christians. His words, not mine.
I can not argue it any better than David Limbaugh's book Persecution, but the idea that the leader of the Democratic Party is so openly hostile to the predominant religion of this country is beyond a partisan argument. It threatens the absolute foundation of of this country, I honestly believe that.
On the flip side, I think Howard Dean actually does promote faith in one way. He is proof that God exists, God has a sense of humor, and that God smiles on Republicans.
He just insulted whites, Christians, and Republicans all with one little sentence.
But at least he still likes guys who drive pickup trucks with Confederate flags....
Don't bother the enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself.
Go, Howard, Go!
I don't hate Democrats. Zell Miller seems like a nice guy.
"I HATE"
"I HATE..."
Who's "we?" Otherwise, welcome to FR.
I think that's a reach, but so what? I just hope he keeps saying stupid things like this.
Dean for President/Senator/Representative/DNC Chair/God of the Democratic Universe, whatever. Just keep him in the limelight. It's great for R's.
A few weeks ago he said the democRATS would be competitive in all 50 states. I wonder what states he was talking about?
yeah, it probably is. a little hyperbole can be good for FR. ;<)
Oh, well that's very different... Hating what Dems stand for is not the same as hating Democrats.
"beating around the bush...." Is that supposed to be a pun?
We despise their ideas. "Hate" is imprecise, and some of my best friends are democrats.
Having a liberal friend is like having a friend that's ruining their life with crack. You can try to persuade them, but if they want to self destruct there's no way to stop them.
I don't hate them. I pity them.
The President, VP, nor any Republican leaders speak with the distain, mocking or hatred that the Dems do, never.
And it has been that way for 40 years.
Keep talkin' Howie there are some Christian democrats out there and they hear ya too.
Ecclesiastes 10:2 The wise man's understanding turns him to his right, the fool's understanding turns him to his left.
Let the fool speak, it will be his undoing.
There is no question that Dean hates traditional Christian believers.

Ping on my own post.
want your feedback! :)
I am embarrassed to say...I didn't know that scripture. But now I do, and it's one of my favorites! Thanks!!!!
I'm embarrassed that I didn't know it as well, being a former altar boy and having been through 8 years of Catholic School.
Southern Baptist forever here. President of FCA in high school. Taught at VBS last year. And this past Sunday, had to ask wife if Ephesians was New or Old Testament. Oops.
A 'slip of the tongue' crossed my mind.
Not much gets by folks around here, GENOTA.
Without looking....New?
I don't hate demonRATS. My best friend's {staunch pubbie} son is an independent that votes for the demonRATs. He is in his mid 30's and he and his wife have their own business and work very hard. I've known him since his birth and with this exception he is very level headed. I've tried talking to him but to no avail. Rather than make myself crazy, I've stopped talking politics with him. When he once asked me why I've stopped trying to convert him, I simply replied, " With your closed mind, you're not worth my time". I do not understand why seemingly intelligent people are swayed by propoganda.
"We hate everything Dems stand for"
Yes we do .. but we DON'T HATE PEOPLE - WE HATE THEIR POLICIES - and that is the HUGE difference.
Nice pick. You are truly blessed. :)
Obadiah - shortest book in Bible. I would have lost the bet that it was even a book.
Psalms - longest book.
"Thou shall remember the Taliban, to keep them holy" - book of Howard (Dean)
state of confusion, state of denial, state of delusion, state of dementia, and 46 others (plus the District of Columbia).
Perhaps he ought to read the sermons of the Revolutionary Period, as well as the writings of the signers of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.
His ignorance of America's philosophical foundations shouts so loudly one can hardly hear a word he's saying!
Well, I know we're not supposed to use Nazi analogies, but Howard Dean is the closest thing to Hitler that I've seen in sixty years.
That being said my fiancee is a black democrat. She insists that she wants Kerry to run again so she can vote for him again. Nothing I've done so far has worked to change her mind.
There's very little in this world that I actually hate. I disagree vehemently with much of the Dems' approach to this nation's policies. I flat out object to socialism and communism and any attempt to foist them on us. Hate? I hate the ideas that caused people to fly planes into the World Trade Center. I hate evil. And I hate deception, troll.
Oh really? Pardon me while I scoff at that idea, on the night that a Democrat Senator former KKK member, BYRD voted against Justice Janice Brown for confirmation as an Appeals Court Nominee. And that's just what happenned in the last couple of hours!
can he wait til 2009 to do the right thing? til then...a few more years of howling howie wouldn't be so bad
The sad thing is she is right along with me on a lot of issues, but votes democratic because that's what she's always done, what her parents always did and all of her relatives have done. She won't accept that certain views are republican, and others that the dems used to stand for, they don't anymore.
Ya wanna know what's really funny? The brainiacs over at DU think that all our "thanks for Howie he's the best thing that ever happened to the GOP" rhetoric is just a transparent attempt to use reverse psychology on them. They think Dean makes us quake in our boots, and we've decided among ourselves that the best way to get rid of this terrible threat is to pretend we like them. No I'm not joking.
(steely)
Unfortunately, we may get what we're asking for.....a rational, likeable, effective new chairman, if they can come up with one. I'm sure they could.
It's so delicious to knock Dean right at the moment, now. But later everyone will be kicking themselves if the worst (or best) happens and he's replaced.
(cripeys, I've got mixed emotions over this, myself, LOL).

The man has too much hate in his heart. He needs to repent.
Unfortunately, we may get what we're asking for.....
sometimes we are having so much fun, we dont learn by our mistakes: we drummed Howie off the Dem ticket in 04 (OK so he helped.... a lot! but we still shot ourselves in the foot).
exceeelent
idiots like Howie and the DUmmies are the reason I(and many friends and family) left the Dem party.
Hate in 08
Yeah, the Dims are all negative on christians and their religion, but boy do they love to visit black churches and sing a different tune there. White christians=bad, black christians=good???? Not even subtle about it.
A lib friend firmly believes that W's goal is to turn the US into a theocracy. [roll eyes here]
