There Howard Dean Goes Again!

August 15, 2008 by GayPatriotWest

Once again, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean makes assumptions about the Republican Party drawn from the rhetoric and imagination of the angry left and not the reality of the GOP.

While it was a Republican president who appointed the first African-American Secretary of State and the first female African-American Secretary of State, the former Vermont governor said today, “If you look at folks of color, even women, they’re more successful in the Democratic Party than they are in the white, uh, excuse me, in the Republican Party.”  Yup, that’s right, he called the GOP the “white” party.

This isn’t the first time Dean has made such false assumptions. Back in March, we reported the Democrat’s claim that “that the Republican Party has scapegoated every ethnic group and therefore can’t create a multicultural identity and reach younger voters.”  He provided no evidence to back up that claim.

If the presumptive Democratic nominee really wishes to unite this nation, Barack Obama will publicly distance himself from the remarks of his party’s national chairman and demand that Dean apologize for misrepresenting the GOP.

Alas, that Howard Dean seems more interesting in spewing venom against the Republican Party than in debating its leaders on issues of concern to all Americans. Dean has now given Obama a chance to show that he is a different kind of politician. If the Illinois Democrat truly favors change in the way the game of politics is played, he will immediately denounce Howard Dean’s latest attempt to divide America.

    We all think it is a joke when the Democrats portray themselves as the nice party, the ones who are anti hate. The Dems thrive on keeping blacks seperated from whites. Today I was discussing Jessie Jackson. Imagine what Jessie would do if the Dems actually encouraged a healing of America instead of constantly picking off the scab. Howard Dean is a loud mouth creep.

    I have to doubt my sanity whenever Dean opens his mouth. He is an arrogant buffoon yet he became a governor and made it through medical school. Boy did I screw up somewhere.

    The libs (and, yes, a few conservatives) are doing their best do divide this country into warring factions. When the job is done (not too long from now) it will be entertaining to watch them try to govern. We’ll need something to laugh at as the country goes down the tubes.

    It makes me giggle everytime Obama abandones his “new” politics when it suits his needs. I doubt we’ll see the candidate of change engage in his “new kind of politics” with regards to his party chairman’s comments. Its interesting that no one in the press brings this kind of thing up. They always let Obama get away being the high and might guy above politics when just this week Obama’s campaign decided to attack Jerome Corsi’s credibility. See, I thought the politics of personal destruction went out of style with Hillary, but apparently not.

    The Dems thrive on keeping blacks separated from whites.

    They not only thrive on it, their political aspirations absolutely depend on it. I forget the exact number, but if Republicans were able to attract something like just 30-40% of the black vote on a regular basis, Democrats would become a permanent minority.

    The Democrats have always been the party of racial division – that is, racism – in America. That’s why they assume everyone else is racist – and try to project Democrat racism onto others.

    Remember slavery? followed by Jim Crow? Both defended by which party? And now, the twentieth centure versions: welfare programs and conspiracy theories to keep blacks dependent (on Democrat politicians), and racial quota programs to keep everyone else (not just whites) alienated from blacks.

    Further on in his speech, Dean said something about: we’re all minorities.
    I’m trying to figure out exactly which minority he fits into? The very rich pampered white person is the only one I could come up with for him.

    According to his own logic he is then a very dumb person, couldn’t even choose the right party.

    Hate speech has become his vehicle, his “routine,” his method for remaining famous. He made that choice, and now he is no different than any “entertainer.”

    I’m still trying to figure out why McCain’s “legendary” temper is an issue to be scoffed, but Screamin’ Howie’s temper was “just firing up the base”.

    Dean has shown a track record of bigotry toward African-Americans, and this comment further illustrates it. He doesn’t like Condi Rice or Colin Powell because they don’t look like any of those people on the dollar bills. Furthermore, he has become bitter and clung to his race-baiting and bigotry just because his party has lost 2 going on 3 elections.

    Affirmative action illustrates everything the Democrats hate about minorities.

    They put black and Latino students into tougher colleges and perpetuate higher dropout rates (as proven by UCLA Prof. Richard Sander’s study: http://www.law.ucla.edu/sander/Systemic/SA.htm).

    And they systematically deny Asians into colleges which they deserve to go into, because their high numbers of success have to be diminished so that undeserving people of other races can make it into college.

    Notice the silence from NObama on Dean’s comments…if that were a GOP leader, the Dems would be screaming….but then again Dean discriminates against Gays too and that is why the DNC is being sued by the former GLBT leader in the DNC (not to mention the DNC Executive Director who regularly spews homophobia out of her mouth.)

    NObama doesn’t believe in Change we can believe in…and standing up for truth against power but believes in whatever will get him elected and whatever position will get him elected…he is the Yes You Can Candidate who will tell you Yes if that is what you want to hear and goes silent against racist comments and homophobia (i.e. his homophobic Ministers that campaigned for him)

    Dean is a loud mouthed moron in a party that believes in divisions rather then “We are all Americans”

    Nothing amazes me with NObama and his crowd..he has no values (any man that throws his own Grandmother under the bus as he did with his comments on racism in one breath and then claim she is one of the two people he goes to for advice (the other being Michelle Obama) is a slime bucket in my book.

    By the way, whats this “folks of color” BS? The phrase is people of color and don’t tell me Mr Howard Dean Witter Reynolds grew up calling people “folks”. The man cannot move his lips without lying.

    Michelle Malkin has already exposed that the leadership of the Democrat Party is whiter than the cast of The Brady Bunch (and slightly less mature, I would add). And don’t forget how the Democrats repeatedly push aside people of color in order to install the likes of Howard Dean and Terry McAuliffe to the top leadership posts.

    Awww, poor victim of Howard Dean.
    And, seriously, how many times can you write the same stock post: someone hurt my feelings and didn’t take the time to roll out evidence and they are angry and I am not but I am whining in this post about being angry? Hahaha…getting really old…

    Jimmy, what are you trying to say?

    Are you calling it whining to point out when the chairman of one political party makes inaccurate insinuations about the other?

    I’ll try to remember this comment next time any Democrat faults a Republican for criticizing him. By your standards, Jimmy, Obama is real angry whiner as this latest news item shows.

    Now, we know your true colors, Jimmy, you really don’t like Barack Obama. Glad we both agree that the presumptive Democratic nominee is a whiner.

    Dean is not much loved by the PUMAs either. He made some awful remark about women in that same speech too.
    I suggest you take a look at Anglachel’s journal-a Dem pro-Hillary blog. She states:

    Like it or not, Howard Dean has just made the claim that if you are white, you are A) racist and B) Republican, your actual acts and deeds in this world not withstanding. The only way to be relieved of this taint is to vote Obama. Not even Democrat – you must vote for Obama. If Obama should fail at the polls, then all “white” Americans stand indicted for racism because that is the only way he can fail and the only reason for failing to vote for The Precious is you’re just a racist white Republican at heart.

    The impulse among old-line Stevensonian leadership to accuse other people of racism at the drop of a hat, categorically condemning millions of white voters, will do nothing to bring voters of all ethnicities together to support progressive politics. This is a fundamental failure of this faction within the Democratic Party and is why we consistently lose national elections./

    Pumas don’t like Howard Dean either. A number of them have condemned him for his remark. Anglachel for example wrote a whole piece on it, concluding:
    “Like it or not, Howard Dean has just made the claim that if you are white, you are A) racist and B) Republican, your actual acts and deeds in this world not withstanding.
