I didn’t see the link to global warming.

It’s obviously false.

I think John Dean presents an interesting study on the longevity of cockroaches.

[JennysCool]

John Dean’s a senile old grouch.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

John Dean calling somebody else an "authoritarian."

Curiouser and curioser.

[stinkerpot65]

We’re seeing lots of stories like this lately, for the purpose of defining conservative beliefs as a mental illness.

The reason Olbermann has John Dean on his show so often is that Dean’s the only person who can make Olbermann appear intelligent by comparison.

What do you think?

From the little I read? Even at today's historically inexpensive rates, its a waste of bandwidth.

To wit: "Today, the Grand Old Republican Party is controlled by authoritarian conservatives. (As I mentioned in my prior column, the first in this three-part series, to my knowledge no person in the GOP has ever denied that fact - and they are well-aware of my book.) "

The juxtaposition of these two sentences would seem to infer that the author believes his assertion is true simply because he has no knowledge of its denial.

By that logic, I'm the President. I wrote it down and sent it to the White House, and since they didn't deny it, it must be true. Cue "Hail to the Chief"...

With only the most minor tweaking for fairness:

I prepared a list of the additional traits that these personalities often evidence: passionate about their religious views, moderate to little education, trust untrustworthy authorities, prejudiced, mean-spirited, narrow-minded, intolerant, bullying, zealous, dogmatic, uncritical toward their chosen authority, hypocritical, inconsistent and contradictory, prone to panic easily, highly self-righteous, moralistic, strict disciplinarian, severely punitive, demands loyalty and returns it, little self-awareness, usually politically and economically self-enforcing.

Pretty much describes anyone's sociopolitical opposition, doesn't it?

I think this sort of thing should be done in private.

John Dean help plan Watergate and then blamed everyone else. John is a piece of crap.

[Spok]

John Dean has dedicated his entire post-Watergate existence trying to justify his disloyalty and cowardice.
He is a spineless girlie-man who finds comfort hiding among the spineless girlie-men of the left.

[Al Gator]

According to the “G” Man, John Dean is low down, dirty rat.

I thought that the Neocons ran the republican party.

[wideawake]

I think that a man who is a documented jailbird, liar, arranger of bribes and most famous for selling out his patron and boss in exchange for special consideration would have a deep dislike for people who take divine and human laws seriously.

[MissMagnolia]

I think this is vile enough to justify a ‘BARF’ Alert.

I have an advanced degree in the social sciences and my opinion is that this stuff is based mostly on junk science... Rigged studies done on college freshman that have little external validity in the real world, let alone internal validity for the experiments themselves. Lies, damn lies and statistics.

Ask Joe Lieberman about left-wing authoritarianism and check to see how many liberals “just go along” with their leaders at protest rallies.

[Madame Dufarge]

Again, I have prepared a listing of the traits revealed in the testing of these remarkably manipulative and cunning personalities, who are typically men

"O wad some Power the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us!"

Anyone read Dean’s book Conservatives without Concious? I actually picked it up at used store for a couple of bucks, but after reading this article I think I can save myself the time, as I believe i have the gist of it. (I had never seen him on TV before, as it sounds like others have, so I just wanted to see what he was all about).

[pankot]

Where is the bulls—t alert? Besides, old news, sounds like he plagiarized Eric Hoffer.
