A Scathing Chairman Dean Finds Republicans 'Evil,' 'Corrupt' and 'Brain-Dead'
By Brian Faler
Monday, April 25, 2005; Page A06
Howard Dean may not be running for anything, but his elbows appear to be as sharp as ever.
Since taking over as chairman of the Democratic National Committee earlier this year, the former presidential candidate has been quoted in newspapers making unusually caustic remarks about Republicans.
Dean has suggested that they are "evil." That they are "corrupt." He called them "brain-dead" during a stop in Toronto -- and while the Terri Schiavo case was still in the news. He has tagged Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) as a "liar." Last week, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that he mimicked a "drug-snorting Rush Limbaugh" at an event there.
Dean was noted for his candid and often unpredictable comments during his campaign last year. Then, as now, many Democrats said they don't mind the former Vermont governor's bluntness.
"You don't want a wallflower for a party chairman," one Senate Democratic aide said. Dean's remarks have not attracted much attention in the national media, in part because he has focused largely on local and regional news outlets since taking the party's helm in February.
But his counterparts in the Republican National Committee have noticed. "It's odd that Howard Dean says he wants to earn the respect of those who live in the red states, but chooses to not only attack their views but attack them personally," RNC spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt said. "Americans want to hear an agenda, rather than name calling."

Delay is not the Republican Party. Do I call the Democrats a bunch of racists just because the hold Robert KKK Byrd, their former Senate majority leader, in high regard? |
DeLay is the current House Majority leader.
Besides, I've got memories of Iran-Contra and Teapot Dome.

Q, yeah, people who are embarrased by a nude statue are "evil." Your definitions are clear. |
Embarassed by them is one thing. Not something to be proud about, but sure, whatever. Spending upwards of $5k to cover them when you could probably have gotten cheaper drapes at Targét?
Oh, and there's that whole Patriot Act thing, and the Gitmo thing, and the Abu Ghraib thing, and the whole NK thing...

Fine, let's rephrase that last thing, because some of us think that the Patriot Act and the DMCA are good things(TM).
The party of Coulter and Hannity hasn't exactly won my heart over with their nasty and downright slanderous attacks on anybody who doesn't believe in the same things they do.
They're close to evil.
