Dean: GOP uses ‘hate’ and ‘race baiting’ to win By Klaus Marre Posted: 05/04/08 12:06 PM [ET] Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said Sunday that Republicans are using “hate and divisiveness” to win elections.
Dean argued that the use of Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) former pastor Jeremiah Wright in GOP ads in local races is “race baiting.”
“When you start bringing up things that have nothing to do with the candidate and nothing to do with the issues, that’s race baiting,” Dean said on Fox News Sunday in response to a question whether the Wright issue and his ties to Obama hurt Democrats down ticket.
“There’s a lot of difference between the Republicans and the Democrats on issues, but the biggest issue of all is we don’t use this kind of stuff. We never have used this kind of stuff, and we’re not going to start now,” said the DNC chairman. “America is more important than the Republican Party, and that’s the lesson that the voters are about to teach the Republicans.”

Cue “The Twilight Zone” music.
Irony, anyone...? ;)
Guess Dean missed the ads saying GWB wanted to drag blacks behind pickups, and burn crosses on their yards...

Howie! Hey! Howie! The only one “race-baiting” is you! Ya schmuck!
Good grief! Dean must not be paying any attention to his own partys primary.
Irony, thy name is Dean.

Any criticism of Obama or Wright is racist? Hey Howie, you’re a bloody liar.
Mr. Chairman, it was Democrat Al Gore who first made up the Willie Horton ad.
“Dean: GOP uses ‘hate’ and ‘race baiting’”
....I got news for Dean...people are getting tired of being accused of this...it’s starting to backfire and Obama is going to pay.
Howard Dean in 2003At that event, Dean received a rousing ovation from the crowd when he said, "White folks in the South who drive pickup trucks with Confederate flag decals on the back ought to be voting with us, and not [Republicans], because their kids don't have health insurance either, and their kids need better schools too."
Howard Dean is a freaking nut-case.
Hell, I don’t know about any of the local politicians, but every nationally known democrat is a freaking nut-case. How they support each other is beyond me. They are all caricatures of themselves.
Just a typical white liberal.

He who whines is losing...LOL!! Rev Wright 24/7 til 11/7.
Does anyone ever wonder why he gave up medicine for politics?
I don’t suppose Dean was referring to the ad that the Dems ran in 2000 that talked about the black man that was dragged to death in Texas while Bush was governor.
What did Bush have to do with it?
