Why does Dean always catch shit for stating the obvious?
Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean, unapologetic in the face of recent criticism that he has been too tough on his political opposition, said in San Francisco this week that Republicans are "a pretty monolithic party. They all behave the same. They all look the same. It's

Dean doesn't care what these twits have to say. I think it's funny, and even funnier is that the democrats that are coming out against Dean all have a personal stake in 2008, well most anyways. I can't remember who said it, but someone said "Howard Dean doesn't speak for me or the part"..ok then why make Dean the head of the DNC if you don't want him talking. Gimme a break, Dean says what other Dem's think but are to affraid to say.

I for one love the fact Dean is playing by the Republicans game. You know they've got to be squirming.

Hopefully that made sence, I haven't even had a full cup of coffee yet.

I know, right? The thing that kills me, all the other candidates in the running for DNC Chair were so wussy & flip-floppy, and everyone was saying "We need someone who's willing to speak out, to address these wrongdoings in the country". And now that we've got someone who's doing JUST THAT, people still gotta fucking complain. Make up your damn minds.

That's it exactly. And we need this kind of full disclosure in a world where Bush et all keep trying to pull the wool over our eyes or distract us.

It was Biden that said this, I was able to go back through and find it. It's from a Yahoo Article.

Dean "doesn't speak for me with that kind of rhetoric and I don't think he speaks for the majority of Democrats," Biden, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

Dean is exactly what the DNC and the Democratic Party needs. Not some wishy washy mouth who's going to cave, everytime the republicans speak nasty about the Dem's.

I think that if Dean keeps this up, and has a strong run as the DNC chair, he's going to be hard to beat come time for the Democratic Nomination in 2008.

Guys like Biden and Lieberman, etc., sit there and talk about how we need to be more centrist, which to me says that they are focused on getting people who are already voting over to their side, instead of doing what they SHOULD be, which is getting people who are so disillusioned and disgusted with the system back into the fold

Liberals need to be angrier. It worked for the GOP: hell, they have EVERYTHING and they're still pissed off! Bill Maher had a great "New Rules" on this last month:
And to be a Democrat means...I don't know. Your guess is as good as mine. It seems like ever since Michael Dukakis was asked how he'd feel if his wife got raped, and he said, "Whatever," the Democrats have been the party that speaks softly and carries Massachusetts. When Dick Cheney says, "Go f*** yourself," they say, "How hard?"

In the last election, George Bush called John Kerry "a coward, a liar, a wimp, a flip- flopper and a war criminal." And Kerry got so incensed, he almost fell off his windsurfer. It's bad when the person in your party with the biggest balls is named Teresa.

So, Democrats would do well to remember this: Anger can be good. Anger can be cleansing. Anger can be a force for change. Anger is what made America what it is in the world today: a hulking pariah whose only friends are toadies and sheiks.

Heheheheheheh.

Bill Maher tends to piss me off, but with regards to this he is dead on.
