SUMMARY: He says: "Who in their right mind, if they were African-American or Hispanic or Asian-American, if they were gay or lesbian, would join the Republican Party?" Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean came under attack for speaking out against conservative gay men and lesbians as well as Republicans of color. "They can't become more diverse," Dean said Tuesday at a speech at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "Who in their right mind, if they were African-American or Hispanic or Asian-American, if they were gay or lesbian, would join the Republican Party?" The Log Cabin Republicans issued a statement Wednesday against...

Dean says attacks getting too personal Associated Press - March 28, 2008 4:43 AM ET WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic Party chief Howard Dean is expressing concern about the angry tone of his party's presidential campaign. Dean says Barack Obama, Hillary 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.

I'm working on a video project and need to get a copy of the original Howard Dean scream video. I'd prefer the version that originally appeared on C-Span, but really any will do as long as it's of decent quality. I figured this would be a good place to check.

WASHINGTON – Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, never known to mince words, today told a San Antonio radio station the U.S. cannot win the war in Iraq. The "idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong," Dean predicted on WOIA.

EDINBURG, Texas — Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean argued on Friday that Republicans will try to make immigrants the "scapegoats" in the next election. At a rally, Dean garnered the loudest applause when he said Republicans would make immigration a pivotal issue during upcoming elections, as they did gay marriage and affirmative action in previous elections. Story Continues Below "Do you know who the scapegoats are going to be? Immigrants," he said. "In Colorado, the chairman of the Republican Party endorsed Tom Tancredo for re-election. That is morally reprehensible. The governor of California, a supposed moderate Republican, invited the Minutemen...

If we are at war like your socialist neocon idol suggests, then why is he going on vacation. Shouldn't he be manning the command post? AND closing down the borders. Geez, I bet enough illegals swam into Texas just this week to pick a year's supply of lettuce. Yeah, I know, go back to DU or whatever. I just figured that since this is BOT Central, I'd just like to see you Bots try and defend this. And those of you who are eligible for military service shouldn't be here anyway. You should be over in Iraq helping to fight...

It's been called the "scream heard 'round the world." Now it's echoing in Pittsburgh. Howard Dean was the Democratic front-runner in the 2004 presidential campaign until he responded to losing the Iowa caucus with a frenzied speech and wild whoop. Instead of rallying his troops, Dean's rant on national TV became one of the most laughed-at moments in political history and took the steam out of the former Vermont governor's bid for the White House. Republicans plan to poke more fun at the episode when Dean, now chairman of the Democratic National Committee, appears today at a Democratic Party event...

I also caught Ken Mehlman on Fox and Friends this morning commenting on Howard Dean's most recent outburst. Mehlman is so calm, collected, and above the fray it's almost ridiculous. Running the clip of Dean right before the mature, respectful response from Mehlman would be a great commercial for the RNC. Whether Democrats like it or not, Howard Dean is the DNC Chairman-- the face of the Democratic Party. Ken Mehlman, thank goodness, is quite a different face to put forward. I say run the comments of the two back-to-back in a TV spot. Nothing dirty; you wouldn't even have...

Thank you Dr. Dean for showing that the left really are a bunch of crackpots. What exactly did he say? Watch dean in action

But new long-term population projections from the Census Bureau show that anyone who believes Democrats can consistently win the White House without puncturing the Republican dominance across the South is just whistling Dixie. The census projections present Democrats with an ominous equation: the South is growing in electoral clout even as the Republican hold on the region solidifies. Veteran demographer William H. Frey, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution think tank, this month extrapolated the census numbers into projections for the electoral college over the next quarter century. His conclusions, in a paper titled "The Electoral College Moves to...

Howard Dean, who promised to change the way Democrats speak about the issues, has accused Republicans of being "evil," "corrupt" and "brain dead," attacks that are reminiscent of the angry language he used against the Republican Party in the 2004 campaign. The fiery former presidential candidate and Vermont governor was elected to run the Democratic National Committee after promising to reach out to voters, especially in Republican states, with a new and more positive outreach message aimed at expanding his party's shrinking base. But a review of his speeches on the stump in the past month or more shows that...

'Dean Scream' clip was media fraud By Edward Wasserman SPECIAL TO THE MIAMI HERALD The news media got an unusual bashing during last year's bitter electoral campaigns. They got slapped around from all sides, and everybody argued about how the media tried either to undermine Bush or discredit Kerry or both. Still, it's never clear why some media wrongs are made into a big deal while others slip by. Take the CBS "60 Minutes" report on Bush's military nonservice: The story itself was old, the dubious evidence was of dubious importance, and the broadcast had no discernible effect. It became...

For those of you just waiting for Howard Dean to start making gaffes, see the Saturday Washington Post account of his tour through the party's special-interest caucuses. I'm somewhat shocked the Post publicized this little tour. For pure, unadulterated Dean, you get this: "You are among the most persecuted people in the history of mankind," Dean tells his first audience, the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Caucus. Let's hope the African-American caucus didn't hear that. (Not to mention anyone who remembers the Holocaust, the Huguenots, throwing Christians to the lions...) As for what Dean said to the black caucus, he...

The primal scream emitted by Howard Dean following his third-place finish in Iowa — dubbed the "I Have A Scream" speech — has quickly gained cult-like status on the Web

Karl Rove was on best behaviour at Time Warner's inaugural Conversations on the Circle this week in New York - until he was asked about Howard Dean. Rove surprised the audience by revealing the existence of a second "Dean scream". Rove disclosed that the White House had a tape of the scream, which erupted at the end of a speech to the California Democratic state convention in Sacramento on March 15 2003. Dean, then a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, declares: "I want my country back! [cheers]. We want our country back! [cheers]. I'm tired of being divided! [cheers]....

<p>Howard Dean (news - web sites) is on the verge of an astonishing comeback. Can he replicate that feat for his demoralized party?</p> <p>Dean, the former Vermont governor and presidential candidate, is the frontrunner to become chairman of the Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) when its 447 members cast their votes Feb. 12.

HOWARD DEAN, whose promising bid to become the Democrats’ presidential candidate imploded with his “Iowa scream” last year, is set to become the party’s leader. The post of Democratic Party chairman will, to the delight of Republicans, make him the party’s public face and the main opposition spokesman to President Bush. Martin Frost, a centrist former Texan congressman and one of Dr Dean’s few remaining strong rivals, dropped out of the race yesterday after failing to win support from the national trade unions. After Dr Dean, a former Vermont Governor, won the endorsement of the party’s state chairmen on Monday,...

Howdy. I'm looking for (preferred) video footage or an audio sound file of Howard Dean's famous scream. I am working on a video for the Inaugural Ball. I'd like to include it. Thanks, 'Pod

Hope for great election died with Dean Email this story Printer friendly format BY KEN KURSON Ken Kurson is co-author, with Rudolph Giuliani, of "Leadership." July 27, 2004 It should have been Dean. All over New York City - and many other sure-thing Democratic locales - young volunteers are trying to register other volunteers. Their clipboards and t-shirts and classified newspaper ads do not say "Kerry '04." They say "Help Defeat Bush." That's a problem for John Kerry, and it's a problem for the electorate. I support President George W. Bush and would vote for him regardless of his Democratic...

Howard Dean may have a shot at a pro wrestling career if his bid for the White House doesn't pan out. After his disappointing finish in the Iowa caucuses on Monday (see "John Kerry Scores Solid Victory In Iowa Caucuses"), a red-faced Dean made a impassioned entreaty to his supporters in Des Moines that left him hoarse and sounded reminiscent of wrestler Randy "Macho Man" Savage's patented "Oooooh yeah!" The gruff, fist-pumping appeal made its way onto the Internet, where inventive and aspiring remixers have added their own sardonic twists to the fiery speech. One of the first remixes to...

That saucy Dennis Miller still plays the recording on his program on CNBC, but now Howard Dean, the sore loserman of 2004, claims the scream that finished his campaign "never happened." Trying to explain away his crazy, red-faced rant after his loss in Iowa, Dean recently told a crowd of broadcasters in Washington that he was merely trying to make himself heard over his loudmouth supporters, Broadcasting & Cable magazine reports. He claimed that none of the (pro-Democrat) reporters on hand who heard the speech noted anything unusual and that it "was only the next day, when their editors...

Howard Dean: Scream 'Never Happened' By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 6/14/2004 3:25:00 PM Howard Dean said the scream speech "never happened," and that its repetition more than 900 times in the following week showed cable "at its worst" and revealed cable news as a "Murdochized" entertainment medium, not journalism. The former Vermont governor and presidential candidate calls it part of the "Murdochization," of cable, referring to the growing success of Rupert Murdoch's Fox News Channel. "Not because Murdoch is a right winger, which he is," says Dean, "but because [Fox News Channel head] Roger Ailes is so incredibly...

"And [Gov. Howard Dean (D-VT)] also attacked Mr. Kerry's candidacy, saying he thought the senator would be a weak contender in the general election. 'He's going to have a hard time if he's the nominee,' Dr. Dean said. 'I think electability's a real issue for him. He appears to change his mind so often.' Dr. Dean went on to assert that Mr. Kerry's 'credibility is under enormous attack, repeatedly,' citing his votes in favor of the use of force in Iraq and of President Bush's education plan. 'He has this pattern,' Dr. Dean said, 'you saw it with No...

“Sound Engineer Kills Presidential Hopeful” "The implosion of Howard Dean as a Presidential hopeful, the furor over John Kerry's remarks, and the many slips by President Bush are a result of poor audio management on the speaking platform." Top International Media Consultant tells Washington reporters. “The implosion of Howard Dean can be directly traced to poor audio management, as can John Kerry’s disastrous remarks over crooked Republicans” explained Alan Simpson, the International Media Consultant, to reporters and communications professionals in Washington, DC. “The use of refined audio from a noise canceling microphone, without mixing the crowd noise for atmosphere,...

Friday, Mar. 26, 2004 2:35 p.m. EST Discovery's 'Dean Scream' Documentary This weekend, the Discovery Channel will take a look at the "Dean Scream," and other un-presidential gaffes that caused America to turn away from various presidential candidates. In describing the program, the Discovery's homepage says, "Howard Dean may have wondered what all the fuss was about after his exuberant scream in Iowa. He found out in the next few days. But Dean is in good company: Some of the nation's most accomplished politicians have suffered setbacks, because of gaffes or just plain bad luck." Here are a few examples:...
