Democrat Durbin blames 'right wing' - for Howard Dean's Mouth

I haven't commented on the demented politics of Democrat Party Chairman Howard Dean for a while. After all, his latest statements about Republicans being a party of "White Christians" just continues to reveal how completely devoid of ideas a Democrat Party motivated by hate and fear has become.

But it's really interesting that now Democrats in the Senate (who've got their own problem with civil rhetoric -- see above statements by Harry Reid) blame Dean's mouth on Republicans.

Readers may recall that following the 2004 election in which President Bush gained a substantial increase in the number of black, hispanic, women and Jewish voters, Democrats insisted that Bush had better come and work with them on THEIR agenda.

How anyone could expect a reasonable person to work with people who call you a lying, evil, white Christian is beyond me.

Durbin blames 'right wing' - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics - June 10, 2005: "The No. 2 Democrat in the Senate yesterday blamed 'the right wing' and elements of the press 'in service to it' for repeating Howard Dean's remarks about Republicans and inflating them out of proportion. 'I think we all understand what's happening with you all,' said Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin, in remarks echoing Hillary Rodham Clinton's blaming a 'vast right-wing conspiracy' for her husband's legal-ethical woes.

Mr. Dean, who took over as chairman of the Democratic National Committee four months ago, has caused a stir with a string of public statements that he "hates the Republican Party and everything it stands for" and that its members are "liars," "evil," "corrupt" and "brain-dead." Senate Democrats emerged from a Capitol Hill meeting with Mr. Dean, a former Vermont governor, yesterday touting their message of the day: Change the subject.

In February, he told the Congressional Black Caucus that the Republican Party "couldn't get this many people of color in a single room" unless "they had the hotel staff in here." And on Monday told a gathering of California journalists that the Republican "party is basically a white, Christian party," a remark he defended on NBC's "Today" show Tuesday morning.

Ron Bonjean, a spokesman for House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert, Illinois Republican, said: "Last week's scandal was Deep Throat. This week's scandal is Dean's Throat. And, apparently, Dean likes the taste of his own foot."

"Is this the same Howard Dean who was criticized by Al Sharpton for not having any minorities on his [presidential campaign] staff?"
