Dean Says Attacks Getting Too Personal Mar 28 09:36 AM US/Eastern By NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic Party chief Howard Dean says Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton and their supporters should beware of tearing each other down, demoralizing the base and damaging the party's chances of winning the White House in November.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Dean also said he hopes the Democratic nominee will be determined shortly after the voting ends in early June and that he will encourage the superdelegates who will play a role to make up their minds before the August convention in Denver.
Dean said the charges and countercharges between Clinton and Obama have gotten too personal at times. He declined to say how they have crossed the line, but he said he's made it clear privately when it has happened.
"You do not want to demoralize the base of the Democratic Party by having the Democrats attack each other," he said Thursday during the interview in his office at Democratic National Committee headquarters. "Let the media and the Republicans and the talking heads on cable television attack and carry on, fulminate at the mouth. The supporters should keep their mouths shut about this stuff on both sides because that is harmful to the potential victory of a Democrat."
Superdelegates—the nearly 800 party and elected officials who can support whomever they choose at the convention, regardless of what happens in the primaries—should make up their minds before August to avoid a fight at the convention, Dean said.

RRRRRRAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!
Does he mean we shouldn’t get too personal when we attack the people who are on the same side as we are?
In the war on terror, for example? We shouldn’t get too personal attacking the president as that might demoralize our soldiers and embolden the enemy.
Is that what he’s saying?
BJClinton: “We must stop the politics of personal destruction”
Translation:”Stop telling the truth about us or else”
I do believe that Operation Chaos is actually working.
Florida and Michigan Democrats brazenly violated party rules by holding primaries ahead of schedule and lost their delegates to the convention as punishment. Both states are now demanding that they not be shut out of the decision-making process because of it.Count Every Vote! Every Vote Counts!
(Isn't that what the rats believe?)
Isn’t it nice to start the day out with some good news?
Clinton: Stop saying we destroy people or we’ll destroy you.
Islam: Stop saying we kill people or we’ll slaughter you.
Birds of a feather.
That is exactly what I was thinking.
Well said.
A LOT of Democrats, especially in the Blogosphere, are in a complete panic over this situation.
They expected to be in FULL hate-Republican mode by now, not cutting each others throats. They are watching thier 2008 hopes slide away in a toilet of racism and avarice, while thier “Issues” (Whatever the hell that happens to be), are no longer getting any traction in the media.
Who cares about saving the Colorado Sniveling Snot Rat, when thier is a bruising fight to cover?
While the two camps fight it out, no one is sending money in to the issue groups. Those DC Mansions aren’t cheap, you know..
Jeff Dunham & his “Dead Terrorist” puppet:
“SILENCE!!!! I KILL YOU!!”
It’s creating PRESS, which is exactly what we want it to do.
Come on Dean.....where’s your sense of humor. Let them go at it.
CHAOS-—What a nice word.
“Let the media...fulminate at the mouth.” Sorry, Chairman Hao, but if they fulminate at the mouth, they have to hide the salami elsewhere.
Howie is overseeing Carnage. Well-deserved.
I wonder how many of the DemocRAT superdelegates from the Senate now wish they had voted to convict Bill on the impeachment charges?
Dean is just trying to get into the spot light again..It should be fun since he is one of the craziest dems out there..
Marching orders, sheeple.
Democratic political organization "is as good or better as the Republicans,' and we haven't been able to say that for about 30 years.
Still laughing at this one. It may be the truth, but what doesn that say about the last 30 years?
and end up with some more right-wing extremists on the Supreme Court,"
Yeah. We wouldn't want any more Judges that actually follow the Constitution
He's been consulting with party stalwarts about how to wrap up the nomination quickly after the voting ends in June, including former Vice President Al Gore, former presidential candidate John Edwards, former Sen. George Mitchell, former President Carter, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, civil rights activist Jesse Jackson and former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo.
Well, there. That aught to straighten things out in a hurry. What a stalwart group - and with Dean at the helm of the DNC. (I wouldn't ask their advice on a choice of toilet paper. For one thing, it would take them months to come to a decision)
Sit down and shutttttt uppppppp Dean
Yeah, because more and more of them are being directed at him.
George Stephanopuouloupuss quoted Slick Willie in his book as having said:
“When someone does me wrong or gets in my way, I kill them.” (paraphrase)
Of course the Sinkmeister said later it was meant metaphorically.
Many quotes here - http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/h/howarddean212227.html
“I hate Republicans and everything they stand for.” (The idiot even ends the attack with a preposition)
It’s possible the Clintons have already written off ‘08 and are now looking ahead to ‘12, which means weakening Obama as much as possible, starting with PA and going forward into the general election with whatever dirty tricks they have up their dirty sleeves to undermine that dirty anti-American and his neverproud wife. (Not that they care one way or another about Obama’s anti-Americanism. The Clintons just want power.)
Hil-Rod may indeed be looking ahead. But as you say, she will never (COULD never) take the high road. The Clintons don’t have that in their playbooks.
Can you damage what doesn't exist?
Lots of liberals my kids know wouldn’t vote for either Hillary or Obama. They’re talking Ron Paul cause McCain’s out for simply being a Republican. There’s no one else left, at the moment.
“When someone does me wrong or gets in my way, I kill them.” (paraphrase)
Of course the Sinkmeister said later it was meant metaphorically.
I wonder if Vince Foster is metaphorically dead then?
Where the hell has he been? On some other planet???? The attacks HAVE been personal ever since the witch realized she was losing and...clintin is the one responsible as always for trying to keep the people divided. Whether you like or hate Obama he has won this nomination fair and square. If hillllreee wins it now it will be a travesty and will forever be known as cheating. She does NOT deserve anything but to be shown the “Exit.”
The Rat way of politics.
I thought there was never any bias in the media.Funny how that worked out.
I haven’t seen pictures of the deaniac for a while, but he just keeps looking and sounding crazier and crazier.
