9/7 Want proof that Howard Dean is a left wing nut socialist? http://tinyurl.com/8hhws \_ If you ask a black person from New Orleans, what do you think they would say? Well, they must be wrong, then. Obviously. Black people are always screaming racism this racism that. And that means Dean is also nuts. \_ Why don't you just say, "Dubya treated the black people of New Orleans the same way that he would have treated his loyal base had disaster befallen them. Obviously. Therefore, Dean is a left wing nut socialist." Or how about, "Sure, race is a factor in everything. That's just the reality. But Dean is just stirring the pot for political gain, and that only divides America. Therefore, Dean is a left wing nut socialist." What sounds better to you? Yes, for some reason, I do appear to be helping your original post. \_ Big deal. John Edwards was preaching class warfare last week. \_ I love it when Republicans say stuff like "We give a big tax cut for dividends and the Democrats turn it into class warfare" \_ If nothing else, they are masters of pre-emptively taking away their opponents position so that all the other side can say is "Nuh uh, you are!" |
