Howard Dean Tells College Students Fox News Lies - Then Lies to Them Four Times

Newsbusters.org:

The disgustingly sanctimonious Howard Dean gave a lecture at Carnegie Mellon University on March 24 wherein he once again attacked Fox News calling it a propagandist arm of the Republican Party that lies to the American people.


Ironically, during his one hour speech, the former Vermont governor committed some laughable whoppers of his own.


To give his audience an idea of what he considers real news, Dean actually said CBS's Katie Couric is balanced.


And then the lies began.


"The top one percent of Americans owns twice as much as the percentage of America than they did 20 years ago, and that of course has to come from somebody else, and it comes from the people who aren't in the top one percent."


Nonsense. The reason people at the top have seen such huge wealth gains in the past 20 to 30 years is because of an increase in stock, commodity, and real estate prices. This is what they invest in, and those investments - despite several bubble bursts - have done extremely well.


It really is a disgusting myth foisted upon the society by America's liberals that the rich take from the poor. The rich don't think about how to get money from the poor because the poor don't have any money to take.


But Dean was just getting warmed up, for he next claimed Republicans controlled the House and the Senate for six years while George W. Bush was President.


I guess Dean forgot that while he was governor of Vermont, a Republican Senator from his state by the name of Jim Jeffords defected from the GOP on May 24, 2001, giving the Democrats back the Senate.


As such, Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress less than 4 1/2 years while Bush was in the White House.

Hypocrite Howard Dean: War Is Ok When There's A Democrat President

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

What a lying, hypocritical prick:

To cleanse the palate, via RCP, skip ahead to 6:00 and see for yourself the depths to which this guy will sink to defend interventionism once there’s a Democrat giving the “go” order in the Middle East instead of a Republican. Remember, in 2003, Dean-o was the anti-war candidate, the guy who galvanized the nutroots by lashing Bush on Iraq. Fast-forward eight years, past a stint as party chairman, and now he’s mumbling about having to “take chances.” When Joe Klein calls him on the hypocrisy, he waves him away with leftist boilerplate about having been lied to about WMD. In fact, though, Dean opposed the Iraq war before we knew anything about the fate of Saddam’s weapons program; he was thinking about running for president and saw an opening among the anti-war crowd and he filled it. The whole reason progressives hold him in such esteem is that he questioned the war before the WMD issue came to the forefront — just as Obama did, long before his own metamorphosis into a humanitarian interventionist. Here’s a choice excerpt from a foreign policy speech Dean gave in February 2003, weeks before an American boot had set foot in Iraq:


I do not believe the President should have been given a green light to drive our nation into conflict without the case having first been made to Congress and the American people for why this war is necessary, and without a requirement that we at least try first to work through the United Nations…


To this day, the President has not made a case that war against Iraq, now, is necessary to defend American territory, our citizens, our allies, or our essential interests.


Nor has the Administration prepared sufficiently for the possible retaliatory attacks on our home front that even the President’s CIA Director has stated are likely to occur. It has always been important, before going to war, for our troops to be well-trained, well-equipped, and well-protected. In this new era, it is as important that our people on the home front also be well-protected.


The Administration has not explained how a lasting peace, and lasting security, will be achieved in Iraq once Saddam Hussein is toppled.


And the Administration has approached the United Nations more as an afterthought than as the international institution created to deal with precisely such a situation as we face in Iraq. From the outset, the Administration has seemed oblivious to the simple fact that it clearly would be in our interests for any war with Iraq to occur with UN authorization and cooperation and not without it.


Replace the part about treating the UN as an afterthought with treating Congress as an afterthought and you’ve got a noninterventionist argument that’s easily adaptable to the present circumstances. Why didn’t Dean-o adapt it? You know why.

Howard Dean Claims Unpopular ObamaCare Mandate Could Be Ruled Unconstitutional

Newsbusters.org:

A well known political figure appears on MSNBC's Daily Rundown and announces, in the wake of Missouri voters overwhelmingly supporting Proposition C to remove the insurance mandate from ObamaCare, that it is so unpopular that it will probably be removed from that legislation or that the courts will rule it unconstitutional. So was the person who delivered this opinion a conservative Republican? Nope. It was Howard Dean, former Democrat presidential candidate and chairman of the DNC who made that statement to a surprised Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie.

Shocker.

Howard Dean Admits He Doesn't Care About Facts, Smears FOX News As "Racist"

HotAir.com:

Via Mediaite. Sure, it’s technically true that Fox didn’t air Breitbart’s Sherrod video until after she’d resigned, but Dean-o’s after Larger Truths here. A mystery: If he’s intent on pushing this line in order to score a few points on the enemy in the last few hours of this week’s Sherrod news cycle, why on earth would he do it on Fox? CNN would have let him get away with it and MSNBC would have cheered him on. Instead, by trying it on Wallace, he walks into a rhetorical doorknob.

Another question per his insistence that what Fox did with the tape was “absolutely racist”: Is Dean suggesting that O’Reilly and Hannity wouldn’t have aired an embarrassing excerpt from a speech delivered by a white liberal? I recall Glenn Beck having a field day with that clip of the very white Anita Dunn talking about Mao. The liberal line on Fox, I thought, is that they’ll use any weapon to hand to attack the left and Obama, not just lefty minorities. This one’s more effective, I guess, however true or untrue it may be.

Howard Dean Defends 9/11 Truther Van Jones

FAILED former DNC chairman and FAILED Democrat candidate for President Howard Dean weighs in on far-Left communist and 9/11 Truther Van Jones:

Van Jones, U.S. President Barack Obama's former "green jobs czar," was "brought down," former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said Sunday.

Jones resigned over the weekend after being criticized for past associations with conspiracy theorists who claim the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were orchestrated by the Bush administration. Dean, appearing on "Fox News Sunday," defended Jones, saying his resignation was the result of a Republican Party campaign against him.

"This guy's a Yale-educated lawyer," Dean said. "He's a best-selling author about his specialty. I think he was brought down, and I think it's too bad. Washington's a tough place that way, and I think it's a loss for the country."

Jones had been criticized for signing a 2004 petition alleging some connection between Sept. 11 and the U.S. government. But Dean said he talked to Jones recently and that he indicated he was misled about what he was signing.

Howard Dean Again Plays Race Card, Calls GOP "The White Party"

Is the reason for this latest asinine comment from Dean due to concern about Barack still not having the same percentage of the black vote (Obama had only 85% last time I checked) as John Kerry (89%) did in 2004? Or because Howard Dean remains an ass? Probably both:

With both presidential candidates condemning use of the race issue in the campaign, Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean has once again, put his foot in his mouth by referring to the Republican Party aa the “white” party.

According to Breitbart TV, Dean told a group of Democrats “Our party has a been no-majority party for a long time … the Democratic Party is made up of lots of different people and we're all minorities in our party.

“That's the way it's been for a long, long time - we are the party of opportunity, so the demographic trends favor the Democrats because we are an inclusive and accepting party. If you look at folks of color - even women - are more successful in the Democratic Party than they are in the white -- excuse me [giggles] -- in the Republican Party.

It wasn’t the first time he’s made a similar charge. Speaking to a forum in June 2005 in San Francisco Dean said that Republicans are "a pretty monolithic party. They all behave the same. They all look the same. It's pretty much a white Christian party."

Again, the most significant aspect of a Black man winning the Democratic nomination for President will not be progress for the Black community, but more and more white liberals getting over their "guilty complex" when it comes to matters of race. It will be far more significant, and a benefit to Blacks as a whole, if the first Black president were a Republican or an Independent.

Hillary Clinton Camp Considering Nuclear Option To Overtake Delegate Lead

Barack Obama Should Say No To FL & MI Re-votes

NYTimes:

There’s still no resolution to the question of what to do with the results from Florida and Michigan, but a few of the principals involved seem to be leaning toward some type of do-over.

On ABC’s “This Week,” Senator Carl Levin, Democrat of Michigan, said officials were trying to hammer out some type of compromise short of letting this delegate divide go all the way to the convention.

(Just to recap, because Michigan and Florida moved their primaries ahead of what the national Democratic Party permitted, they have been stripped of their delegates. With the two Democratic candidates, Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, dueling in a tight march delegate-by-delegate with Mr. Obama holding a lead, those delegates in the outlier states have become more and more precious.)

Ever since it became clear that Senator Clinton would win the Sunshine State on Jan. 29 — in a state where the candidates had agreed not to campaign — she has vowed to have those delegates seated. And their numbers aren’t insignificant, given that even her wins in big states like Ohio don’t push her ahead in the delegate tally.

Florida and Michigan broke the rules so they should paid the consequences. The only reason a do-over is even being considered is because Hillary Clinton's campaign wants it due to the fact that they think they can win both states. But if it wasn't for the fact that Hillary is still behind Barack Obama in delegates, despite being heavily favored to win the Democratic nominee just months ago, that she's even pushing this issue.

Of course it should be noted too that it's impossible for Clinton to take the lead in pledged delegates no matter what happens with Michigan and Florida. So no matter how you slice it, Obama will have the most pledged delegates at the convention and the Super Delegates aren't about to overturn the pledged delegate results. The Super Delegates are also smart enough to understand that Obama has long coattails, and Clinton doesn't. And I'm sure they're well aware that half the voters in the country of all voters in the United States still have an unfavorable view of Hillary Clinton. At the end of the day, despite what that idiot Howard Dean would have you think, a FL & MI re-do not only hurts the Democratic party's credibility as a whole, but it's a huge diss against Senator Obama.

Howard Dean: Insane Liberal of the Week

Age: 59

Birthplace: Town of East Hampton, New York

Claim To Fame: former governor of Vermont and current chairman of the DNC

Why’s He’s The Dumbest Liberal of the Week: for using secular theology in a public speech earlier this week. At a gathering of Jewish leaders, while advocating for prayer teams in public schools, Dean said that there are no impediments for anyone to go to heaven.

His statement was a call for inclusion to the “evangelical” and Jewish groups in the Democratic party. Dean, in attempting show differences between the Republican and Democratic parties, said “that there are no bars to heaven for anybody.” Of course, this kind of “God loves everybody no matter what you do” dogma is typical of liberals who seem to think that seeking forgiveness or following the words of the Bible are a waste of time and effort.

But Dean, who often invokes his brand of religion in his public tirades, should be ashamed of himself for making a statement that when it comes down to it, ridicules Christianity. Yet, coming from Dean we shouldn’t be surprised. After all this is the same man who once characterized Republicans as “religiously and racially exclusive” vs. the inclusion found in the Democratic Party. Any wonder why Dean’s 2004 Presidential-run turned out to be such a flop? It’s because outside of Vermont he’s viewed as nothing but a moron.

Howard Dean Borrows The Race Card (again)

From Bestsyndication.com:

Former Democrat Presidential candidate Howard Dean told members of the National Baptist Convention of America on Wednesday that race played a major role in the death toll from hurricane Katrina. The National Baptist Convention is a black religious group with roughly 3.5 million members in 3000 churches.

"We must … come to terms with the ugly truth that skin color, age and economics played a deadly role in who survived and who did not," Dean said. He made the comments to the Baptists’ Political and Social Justice Commission.

Funny how a man from a state that's 97% white can have so much knowledge and insight into the needs of Black people. I mean, if you go by Vermont's racial breakdown, Howard Dean's cabinet as governor should have at least included a person who was 3/100ths Black.

Yet, none of this seems to matter to Black people brainwashed by a Democratic party that's long been hijacked by white liberals.
