Howard Dean showed up to talk about Black History Month but the focus quickly changed to politics Tuesday night in ICC Auditorium.

The Chairman of the Democratic National Committee and former Governor of Vermont contrasted the two parties’ presidential candidates, saying that with a woman and an African-American as the two front-runners, the Democratic field “looks like America,” while the all-white male Republican field “looks like the 1950s and talks like the 1850s.”

“The younger generation sees itself as a multicultural generation,” Dean said. “People under 35 think of themselves differently, and feel integrated [in society].”

A "woman" candidate and an "African-American" candidate looks like America; huh? I hope this pisses off the Mexicans in this nation and turns them even more against the Obama candidacy.
Latest Memo from the DNC: "BTW, all you ol' white men, kiss our butts".

[EyeGuy]

What was so bad about the 1850’s you arrogant dumbass Dean?

MUCH less government and more individual autonomy for starters.

[Fintan]

Who???

[chrisser]

...while the all-white male Republican field “looks like the 1950s and talks like the 1850s.”

Funny you should mention the 1850's Dr. Dean.

Considering the Republican party was formed in 1854 to fight the scourge of slavery that your party was defending.

[MiltonFriedmanFan]

The republican field looks a lot like the 2004 democratic field.

“What was so bad about the 1850’s you arrogant dumbass Dean?

MUCH less government and more individual autonomy for starters.”

Not to mention the rise to power of Abraham Lincoln, Republican, and one of our nations’ greatest leaders.

Dean really is a moron.

HD is a piece of chit.

[KarlInOhio]

1850s? Isn't that when the Republicans had the primary aim of freeing blacks from their Democratic slaveowners?

[egginanest]

This guy knows what's right for America...

[Grimmy]

The Republican Party was created in 1854 to oppose the expansion of slavery. It was also created to oppose the growing sense of aristocracy that was burrowed in with the slave holding powers.

“Funny you should mention the 1850’s Dr. Dean. Considering the Republican party was formed in 1854 to fight the scourge of slavery that your party was defending.”

Dean is historically ignorant.

[andy58-in-nh]

Yes, Howard: back in the 1850’s, Republicans were trying to free black people from their Democrat slaveholders - just like today.

[The Citizen Soldier]

Howard Dean showed up...

Hey, I actually thought they had locked weird Uncle Howard up until the winter.

"Okay, which of you kids was playing with the door to the attic?"
