Divisive Democrat Dean Declares Divisiveness Downright Dastardly, Draws Derision
You gotta love Howard (if you’re a Republican):
Down with divisiveness was the message Wednesday delivered by Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean as he told a group of Florida business leaders that Republican policies of deceit and finger-pointing are tearing American apart.
Dean called President Bush “the most divisive president probably in our history.”
“He’s always talking about those people. It’s always somebody else’s fault. It’s the gays’ fault. It’s the immigrants’ fault. It’s the liberals’ fault. It’s the Democrats’ fault. It’s Hollywood people,” Dean said. “Americans are sick of that. Even if you win elections doing that, you drag down our country.”
Dean spoke to about 240 business leaders in Palm Beach County at a gathering of the Democratic Professionals Forum as part of a nationwide grassroots campaign to get voters involved in politics on a local level ahead of the November elections.
The Republican agenda “is flag-burning and same-sex marriage and God knows what else,” Dean said. “We need real change in this country. We’re in trouble.”
Republicans welcomed Dean’s appearance in Florida, attacking him for the same divisiveness he accused Republicans of creating.
“Howard Dean’s divisive rhetoric has done nothing more than drive the Democrat Party further to the extreme left of the political spectrum,” said Carole Jean Jordan, head of the Republican Party of Florida.
Decrying diviseness with a flaming partisan denununciation (see, I could have alliterated even more)? That’s just brilliant…
Howard is the greatest gift to Republicans since the Clintons. God bless them all!
Most divisive President in US history huh?
Considering that HALF THE FREAKIN’ COUNTRY LEFT THE UNION after Lincoln was elected, leading to the death of 600,000 Americans- that is a pretty ridiculous statement. Even for Howie!
What a nutcase. Needless to say, nothing remotely characterizable as Dean has has ever passed Bush’s lips. Dean like most Democrats lives in a fever dream where his own relevance is measured by the demonic qualities of his foes. Of course, we do wish Howie all the luck and he does, after all, speak for his constituency.
