Dean's "Outbursts"

What’s with all the crap criticizing Howard Dean for hating Republicans, saying they’ve never done a day’s work, and that the party consists largely of white Christians?

Actually, if Dean deserves criticism, it is for not saying a lot more. The truth of what is going on, what is being done to the mass of people here and around the world by this coven of blood-sucking Republican/Neo-Con vampires demands much more vitriol than Howard Dean has produced.

The Right rants and raves over Dean’s few statements while they heartlessly destroy the freedom, dignity, and security of working people here and around the world!
They deserve Dean’s hatred – and more of it.

And can we even take Dean seriously? Many of his fellow Democratic “leaders” have distanced themselves from his “outbursts.” Many of them are for “free trade,” the war, tax relief for the wealthy, bankruptcy “reform,” creationism, imperialism – whatever pays off with the big-money Robber Barons.

Even if one hopes and believes that Dean himself is legitimate, it is difficult to believe that his party is behind him.

Read the Paul Krugman link posted below. Read Greg Palast’s book The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. Check out what Bob Avakian has to say at http://rwor.org/a/1237/ba-pyramid2.htm .

Everything the Republicans are pushing so hard for can be understood only as an attempt to turn back the clock and demolish even the small gains regular people have eked out over the centuries. They burn to erase the hated 60’s, the Great Society, the New Deal, women’s independence, religious tolerance, intellectual and gender freedom, equal opportunity, and the Bill of Rights. Relentlessly they lie, steal, bully, and oppress; and, except for a few blunt comments by Howard Dean, the Democrats look on dumbly.

It’s clear that Republican “leaders” hate the people, even their own supporters whom they dupe by invoking god, homophobia, chauvinism, racism, “patriotism,” and a whole range of hypnotic bullshit.

It is not clear, however, that enough people – including Democratic “leaders" - are willing to admit the reality of the situation and return that hatred in spades.

It’s about time.

Hi Tom,
They're blasting Dean at every turn. Just read on AOL that Cheney will be on H and C tomorrow night and will blast Dean. Even saying he's never been elected to anything that he's ever heard about. How can he get by with this! We know how, don't we. Thanks for fighting on. Sondra

Amen, brother Tom. I'm so sick of hearing this crap about Dean. And you know who's saying it mostly. Whiny Republicans. Look who's being all politically correct now. Wah! Howard Dean is so mean to us. Boo hoo.

It's high time someone started speaking the truth and not kowtowing to these greedy, evil bastards.

When will the Democratic leadership realize you can't win against bullies by playing nice.
