“Diversity” in Howard Dean’s Democrat Party
Howard Dean slammed the GOP as racist this week, scoffing: “If you look at folks of color, even women, they’re more successful in the Democratic party than they are in the white, uh, excuse me, in the [laughs] Republican party.” As Allahpundit reminds us, The Screamer has engaged in this racial demagoguery before. He’s done it despite admitting his party’s own lack of skin-deep diversity in Maryland, where GOP Senate candidate Michael Steele gave the libs a big scare. And he’s done it despite his own DNC leadership’s glaring lack of non-white faces. He says to look at the Democratic party to see that “folks of color” and “even women” are “more successful.” So, let’s look at the official Democrat Party leadership page and judge Dean by his own standards:
Looking a little pale there, eh, Howie?

The last “White guy” is Iowa State Senator Mike “Grumpy” Gronstal. He once told fellow Democrats he practices birth control by showing women his personality. This raving liberal particularly hates non-custodial fathers declaring he does not care what happens to them in court nor does he care if they are regularly denied visitation. Of course, he also shouted an “F-Bomb” in front of a bunch of visiting schoolchildren so this guy just oozes class. Naturally, the Iowa Democratic Party made him their titular leader because he represents evil in a way that would make even the Emperor from Star Wars proud.
Coward thinks he is being funny and Dimocraps probably got a good chuckle from his intended mistake. The truth is Coward this is a clear case of Pot meet Keetle, the Dimocraps espouse racial diversity in their party but the facts just seem to get in the way, one women and a bunch of white men, wow, now that’s diverse you’ve convinced me Coward you idiot, who is Coward fooling? all of the mind numbed Dimocrap Sheeple that listen to and watch the MSM and believe anything they hear, I heard it on CNN or NBC so it must be true.
This is why you need a barf
bagbucket if you’re going to watch their convention. (gag)Blind, the line-up *our party* at the top of the page needs a photoshop of Americas most unwanted done to it if you’re not already on it.
Dean and his ilk remind me of a character from the Color Purple – Ms. Millie. Her “your children look so clean” ‘compliment’ and her reaction when Oprah’s character didn’t take her up on her fine offer to be a maid embodies the democratic party. These people are simply condescendingly racist. And quite frankly, if someone’s going to be racist, I’d rather they not do it while smiling in my face, offering their ‘help’.
How do we lose to a party with HIM as the leader?
What liberals have done for years is to divide people into diametrically opposed groups and then demand equality of “outcome”, regardless of individual behavior. For example, they claim that since six times as many blacks are in prison as whites(proportionately), that their is endemic racism in our law enforcement , courts and penile institutions. Whether or not blacks have committed six times as many crimes is irrelevant to them.
Recently Barack Obama sited the statistic that women earn only 77 cents for each dollar a man makes. He conveniently left out the fact that women in general work less hours per year and take time off for maternity leave and that many women more women choose to be full time mothers and homemakers than men.
Affirmative action is another example of how liberals demand equal minorities in higher education and government contracts, their qualifications are irrelevant to liberals.
Liberals have also compared Russia’s recent invasion of Georgia, to the American liberation of Iraq.
John Edwards was famous for pitting poor against the rich and blaming the rich for poverty, crime, homelessness, drug abuse, etc.
Why is it that liberals fail to see that in a free society, people have the freedom to succeed as well as fail. It is impossible to have one without the other. In a free society, people rise to the top of their professions, because they are the most motivated and talented. When liberals have their way with trying to regulate the “quality of outcome”, the talented become less motivated to succeed and the mediocre take their places at the top of most professions which makes our entire society, rich and poor alike, weaker, poorer and less free. What Howard Dean is calling for is affirmative action at the highest levels of government, which will decrease the degree of talent in our already lacking political leaders.
Screamer Dean is a real gem. Why didn’t he have Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Rev. Wright with him to display the dumbocrats diversity. They are fellow race baiters. Most people in the Republican party have a job–and this can skew the diversity scale. Give me a break.
DNC – The Party of Deceit
As ever, Dean illustrates the incredible weakness and bankruptcy of the Left. They have nothing to offer but racial and sexist division while they goof on and manipulate the fools who vote for them.
But what’s most disturbing is that there are so many that are unwilling to take responsibility for their own lives and their own actions that they fool themselves into believing this nonsense.

I’ve seen more diverse Viking raiding parties. I’ve been to more diverse Knights of Columbus meetings. I’ve seen more diversity on stage at an Osmonds concert.
George H.W. Bush has more diversity in his immediate family.
I think he was thinking of his own campaign: if you recall, he was caught paying his women staffers an average of $6000 less than comparative males.
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/06/30/does-obama-pay-women-less-than-men/
Thanks to a Boston Globe article (http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/01/28/at_harvard_law_a_unifying_voice/), if you read the paragraph after the “Law review prestige” heading about half way down the article, you can see that the campus was all revved up on civil rights and “diversity” for faculty issues. I think Obama benefitted from this to become HLR president. Kind of his own personal “affirmative” action.
That might explain why he had to go into “community service” after graduating rather than clerking for prestigious judges (usually SCOTUS) like all the other HLR presidents.
Of course, he uses the PeeWee Herman “I meant to do that” excuse.
You know, he kind of looks like PeeWee Herman, now that I look at him…
That reminds me of a large union meeting I attended at ultraliberal UMASS Amherst. We had an enormous circle of tables so everyone could face each other.
Not a face “of color” to be seen anywhere.
Dr. Dean. The gift that keeps on giving. What a dildo.
It’s not just about race. It’s the way elitists treat everyone else. If you are not an accepted member of their group you are less of a person and not worthy of concideration.
Why is it that it’s usually the Democrats that bring race into the picture?
I’m still scratching my head in befuddlement that blacks continue to stay on the Democrat’s plantation when it would be so easy to walk away. Especially born again, evangelical, black Christians who know the truth and yet support a party whose platform is totally antithetical to Biblical truths. They are the party that supports pro-death (all forms of abortion); condoning and even promoting the homosexual lifestyle; redefining marriage other than between a man and a woman; and the list goes on.
They continue to stay even when it’s obvious that the Democrats have to have their victimhood intact in order to shore up their party’s base.
Howard Dean should point out their party’s firsts in appointing minorities to Presidential cabinets and high offices. What a bag of wind.
This is strange, coming from the party that gave the world the KKK [See Senator Byrd (D-WV) and Senator Bilbo (D-MI)]. Let us also not forget that the Democrats are the same party that made it hard for African Americans to vote around the country.
And if the Democrats were not rascists, then surely, in all these areas where they get elected, such as South central, Anacostia, Detroit and Baltimore, there is no poverty or gang crime? Oh, tehre is — and yet, no Republican has been voted in those areas.
Also, if I remember correctly, no Republican ever called an African American an “Uncle Tom” for disagreeing with them. Or did you ever hear the term “Starked”?
And I’m sure some Democrat can enlighten me to show me complimentry statements by Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid have written about Justice Thomas?
Also, maybe those self-same identified Democrats can explain who unracists it is to throw oreo cookies at Michael Steele or allow Senator Schumer to go through his credit file before an election? And I’m sure Democrats stod up and said that these things were wrong.
They didn’t? Goes to show you, that Democrats are happier keeping African Americans in poverty and running for their lives.
The doood (along with his screaming deanie baby myrmidons) is a total tool.
It’s simply pathetic that this is the state of American politics – grade school playground taunts. Granted, it’s always been messy, but with the advent of electronic media (c: 1960), it’s just a 24/7 snot wad.
The gub’mint we get, we deserve.
Wake up, America!!
All I see at the top of the Democrat power structure is a bunch of corrupt white men and one token crazy corrupt white woman that are hell bent on turning the greatest country in the world into a third world cesspool. I guess their diversity can be explained in the extent of Marxist rhetoric they believe in.
Come on what do you expect from the D.A.W.S.N.A.W.D. crowd? Lets compare some presidential appointments: Bill Clinton- Jocelyn Elders and Mike Espy to GWB’s Condolezza Rice and Colin Powell.
I am sure that if we start looking at the judicial appointments we will start to see the same thing. Figureheads from the demos versus those with experience and leadership from the repubs.
But as long as demos control the public schools in most urban areas they will keep dumbing down the population so they truly believe in the hand out versus the hand up and we are entitled.
To quote the DNC, “Nothing to see here. Move along.”
Diversity has a different meaning to the left. It means lots of different appearances ONLY.
To them it is more important that any group of people look like the bar scene from Star Wars than, God forbid, there should be some actual diversity of ideas.
Try diversifying your opinion from that of the orthodoxy of the left and see how far you get in their hierarchy.
BFD. Cream rises to the top, regardless of party. So what.
The “glaring lack of non-white faces” in the Democrat party leadership is prevalent at every level – national, state, and local – especially in rural areas; in fact, I can’t think of a single high-profile member of my state’s Democrat party who isn’t white.
They look like “typical white persons” to me. Just ask Obama.
Even when Dean attempts to speak of positive attributes he speaks in patronizing tones. This grass roots Yahoo is a waste of carbon.
Democrats keep Americans who have darker skin color at the back of the bus. The Party of the KKK, Jim Crow, and segregation has never shaken its roots free of slavery. Democrats place the teacher’s union before minority children’s education, and despite control of Congress for over 40 years, did nothing but destroy minority family structure. Only “Blacks” who owed their advancement to the Party Masters and 100% towed the party platform were allowed to succeed, All others were defamed and destroyed by their white Masters. In Ohio, Ken Blackwell, a true conservative Republican and first black skinned American to hold state wide office, was defamed during and after the recent election by Democrats. Their goal to tarnish him so that he could not succeed in Ohio politics again. The Democrats ran a 100% white ticket of course. C. Rice and Justice Thomas are regularly defamed by Democrats as slow and stupid – a critique best describing Nacy Pelosi and Harry Reid – both white and both crooks. Howard Dean is white, 90% of the Democrat “superdelegates” are white, and even BO is half white. Democrat policy regarding DDT in Africa and the Democrat policy of never stopping African genocides has resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of people with black skin. If any party is to be compared to the NAZIs it is Dean’s Democrats. They hate elections, they hate democracies and try to establish or stabilize tyrannies in third world nations, and will mourn Castro – Carter will want to be a pallbearer and give the eulogy for sure. Democrats are by and large associated with organized crime, racism, treason & anti-Americanism, and a contempt for scientific thought, logic and reason. Truth, religious faith, and value for human life are held in utter contempt. One has only to analyze their affinity for Muslims to see the Democrats have no values and only hypocrisy. The Democrat party should be banned and its’ leaders exiled.
Howard Dean is a gasbag, even worse than Al Gore. At least Al Gore has never maligned an entire segment of this country (I don’t think). I remember the time Dean said he hated all republicans. Very mature, don’t you think? He comes right out and says he hates half the people in America. What a total jerk.
Dean should have been committed a long time ago.Like all good dumbocrats he blames everybody else for his mistakes. The only common denominator that party is the corruption.
A nest of WASPs
From slavery to Woodrow Wilson (a segregationist) to FDR’s appointment to a KKK member to the Supreme Court to FDR’s Japanese camps during WWII to Robert Byrd, to black voter suppression in the South, to dogs and fire hoses, to run down cities run by Democrats, to class and race bating Democratic leaders.
Democrats are the party of racism and continue to be. Its baffling why they are overwhelmingly supported by blacks and other minority groups.
Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King were Republicans. Must have been a reason.
It’s unbelievable that this little sack of phlegm shoved into a boy-bag can get away with this claim and WILL get away with this claim considering the Bush Administration, called “The Most Diverse In History”…especially compared to the former ‘First Black President” Clinton Administration, the Clinton Campaign, the Edwards Campaign and yes, even “The Golden Calf’s” own campaign.
And why? It is all because of their successful P.R. campaign which has gone on for decades; where they can make and enact anti-Semitic statements and actions, where Israel is always in peril of losing support were the Democrats to have their way yet the majority of Jews remain and consistently vot Democrat. Where the Black Community are constantly told thst they are not as good as Whites nor as smart and thus special programs, hiring practices and educational requirements and testings are put in place, guaranteeing that they remain held obligated and in servitude toiberals and Democratd, yet they continue to vote and support Democrat.
I won’t even get into women and how they are considered and treated within that party…but let’s just say, who do you think is really the hsppiest about abortion being legal…the woman or the guy who now need not worry about paying child support and years of other bills because he was too lazy or stupid to take precations? Bet you Edwards wishes an acquaintence was a bit more Pro-Choice.
I have no answers when it comes to how to get these brain-washed and deluded masses to finally wake up and smell the bagel and lox, but until they do, until they actually get angry enough at being treated and referred to as second-class citizens who need special treatment, then this little troll and all his little clones known as Liberals and the democratic Leadership will continue to get away with this for decades more to come.
It is our failure as Conservatives and Republicans that we have not done a better job of refuting their claims and convincing these groups of their true equality that the rue blame shoud rest.
I wonder what a similar list for Republicans would like. Nonetheless, the Dems. claim the mantle of diversity when, in actuality, they are an all white liberal elitists club that USES minorities whose “uncle tom” leaders keep them all on “the liberal plantation”: the plantation of big government and a planned economy
How can this unfunny jackass still be employed? What a maroon.
To be a Dem there has to be a shared trait of Anti-Americanism and or being a total fool.
I dare the Republican leadership to repudiate this statement and demand an apology. I double-dare them. I triple-dog dare them!!
Typical Vermont via Park Avenue NYC liberal. For the majority of his liberal life, he wouldn’t have recognized a black person if he tripped over one.
And now, after floating a half-black/half-white, unvetted trial balloon, he thinks he’s Patrice Lumumba.
Apparently to the Democrats, diversity means racial and gender lobbies pigging out at the public trough in exchange for giving the party elite life tenure in public office.
The Dems aren’t racist. Aren’t they the ones who are welcoming all the brown “alien immigrants” from Mexico into the fold for “Diversity”??
sarc/off
I suppose that depends on how you define “success.” You can’t assume he’s using the word the way it’s defined in any dictionary.
(Perhaps the waitstaff at their meetings provide some diversity.)
Dr. Dean had a chance to demonstrate his position when he accepted his job with the DNC. Several minorities were well qualified, one notable from Atlanta, who were warming up in the wings, because, it was their time. Surprise! Another liberal white man would not step aside or share power in the Democrat parade.
Look at all them rich ,overblown Whiteys!!!!
Feel the diversity, Dude!
Just look at all those Democrat typical white people. It’s a wonder Obama can deal with them while he is playing the victim of racists all the time.
Got to love the party that civil right and equal right part of their platform for the last 40 years…a real diverse bunch of pasty, white rich people! Limo liberals that preach the socialist doctrine, while living in their own myopic world.
Vote Donkeycrat – the party of Diversity!
/sarc off
The Dems are just getting what they deserve. This wacko should never been given his present job.
The thing is despite the racism that is certainly prevalent in the democratic party, it at least seemingly offers oppurtunity to minorities. I’m not suugesting that the rebuplican party does not, but there is a perception amongst many minorities that the repubs are against them.
To give you an example. Conservatives for years have championed self-help and personal responsibility to take care of the some of the ills that plague inner city neighborhoods. More recently it seems that the dems have slowly began to recognize the utility of such ideals. Obama gave a fathers day speech ripping some black fathers for being absent in their duties as parents. Now conservatives likely won’t get credit for saying this from the begining. I doubt that blacks (for instance) will come in droves to the republican party even though it has been republicans who were correct on this issue. They won’t join republican ranks because of the real and percieved acrimonious tone republicans have taken toward blacks. I say real and percieved because some of the concerns blacks may have against the republican party are legitimate and others have just taken on a life of their own.
Someone above mentioned the natural conservative nature of many in the black community. Especially concerning such things as abortion, and gay marraige. Unlike another commenter above I don’t think it reasonable to assume that blacks are just stuck on the demorcat plantation, as if they have no minds or free will. Instead I think it more reasonable to assume that many blacks have made a concious decision to stick with the party that they feel is more accepting and representative of their interests.
I would also add that one line of thought coming out of conservative commentary is that blacks stick with the dem party because of handouts. I would disagree with this point because on the whole the dem have done very little for the black community.
The U.S. Military and the hated (by liberals) Bush administration have many more Black (and other minority / gender) persons in positions of high responsibility than most other employers / organizations.
This is true of many hated (by liberals) businesses. Funny thing about that–THESE PERSONS ARE THERE BECAUSE OF THEIR SKILLS AND ABILITIES–not because of their skin colors, ethnic backgrounds, or gender.
Until all people see each other as individuals with different skills, characters, and personalities rather than members of “groups” we will have to suffer these “equal opportunity” and “diversity” bromides. God expects this of us.
John Bibb
Democrats espousing diversity is a bitter irony when everything they say and do shouts “One Ideology, One Voice, One Mind!”
They truly seek homogeneity.
It always amazes me that in every attack by the Democratic party the charge the Republicans with the offenses that are most prominant in their own party. You know, those characteristics that they know will not sound good when exposed. Sounds like the propaganda from most Communist dictatorships around the world.
Quote continues:
” Of course, that is what you would expect from the Democrat party; the party that bought us slavery and the Constitutional concept of a 3/5 human, drove us to a Civil War, stood firmly against and filibustered Civil Rights, declared Manifest Destiny to expand slave-owning lands, imposed the Indian removal, developed a social welfare system that was designed not to empower but to oppress and maintain Democrat control, and introduced segregation (aka Jim Crow Laws) to America and fought so hard against it’s it’s removal.”
Any person who votes Democrat, and does not understand the history of that party, is not deserving of the America the Constitution provides.
This guy really is stuck on stupid. I just love how “diversified” his Dem leadership is. Look at all those white faces and the token crazy woman, San Fran Nan.
Yet the Republican Party has new faces like Bobby Jindal who don’t fit the mold. Yet the Republican Party is the white party? Lie much?
The Dem party believes they’re “diversified” because they have to bribe people to vote for them with such things as socialized health care and more welfare state spending. Then you look at who votes for this party and it makes you wonder. If you look at who is really informed in this country it certainly isn’t the women and minority voters who buys this party’s lies.
Howard Dean really is a scream…. now he just needs a pacifier to keep him quiet.
crashemt said: Any person who votes Democrat, and does not understand the history of that party, is not deserving of the America the Constitution provides”.
I don’t think its an issue of not understanding the parties history. I think its a matter of moving on, forgiving, maybe not forgetting, but for sure forgiving.
The Democrats and their policies have successfully created a dependent class of people who must now keep them in office in order to continue getting government handouts.
The Republican party scares these people because it tells them they can and should take care of themselves.
The reason so many stay with the Dems even though they disagree with social liberalism is because they don’t dare go against the hands that feed them. Then of course they console themselves by telling themselves they are being more compassionate to the less fortunates like themselves.
It is a vicious cycle and won’t be broken easily.
Jvette said: You couldn’t be more wrong. The dems have nearly completely destroyed it. Government never lifts anyone out of poverty or ignorance, they must do it themselves.
The first step in breaking any addiction is to admit that one is addicted”.
This may be true, but this reality (if it is one at all) still doesn’t translate into votes for the republican party.
I looked at the photos of the DNCC personnel. I guess it must count towards diversity if you have a ‘black heart’.
Yup,
I would believe you, if I felt that the Democrat party agenda lent itself to “forgiving”. And yet, all I hear from Democrats are the mistaken assumptions that Republicans were the source and cause of all the problems which I listed.
It’s not forgiveness, for the Democrat party positions itself as blameless. It false transference. It’s denial. It’s wrongly placed blame, all in a rather frustrating focus to retain the only thing the Democrats want: TO MAINTAIN POWER OVER THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND IMPOSE THEIR WILL THROUGH FIAT AND FORCE.
This has been, and always will be, the mandate of the Democrat party. Dr Dean’s propaganda, similar to that of Goebbels, is just one of many examples. One need only substitute “Nazi” for “Democratic”, “jew” for “white” ,and “Zionist” for “Republican”. See?
The history is extremely clear on the Democrat thirst for power and willingness to do whatever it takes to maintain it. And those that do not understand this, who cannot see this beyond their own thirst for party power, and those who vote to perpetuate this status quo against our freedoms are simply a continuation of the problem.
Hence, my comment.
I’ve found more and more people who vote for Democrats haven’t got clue one with regards to history or facts. Mostly I hear nothing by blind faith in Democrat talking points and screed forming their opinions.
Mooooooo! I’m voting for Change. Moooo! I’m saving the environment. Mooooo. I’m saving the planet. Moooo! Republicans are a white-only party. Mooooo!
Diversity is okay in the DNC as long as you understand who’s massa. But don’t you be getting uppity…

KB just took a huge jump up in my estimation!
I do not see many Dems. (or Republicans for that matter) with KB’s patritoic spirit……
..patriotic spirit…
Because the GOP is not called the Stupid Party for nothing. The Dems always want to keep the minorities on the plantation with “gimmie” handouts, but look who’s running the plantation. When the Dems have minorties of “color”in important leadership positions instead of token ones then they can talk true diversity.
Meanwhile, how can the GOP gain a foothold in minority, i.e. black and latino communities, when it the Dems paint it as more evil than Satin himself.
It is difficult to get many blacks and latinos to run in Dem strongholds when they are personlly mocked,lied about and demonized by the Dems. It takes a person of great fortitude to want to run as a GOP candidate in those circumstances.
I personally financially support conservtive minority GOP candidates when I can. I don’t think the state or national GOP organizations give nearly enough visible support to those minority candidates who are brave and devoted enough to run.
Fair enough, CRASHEMT. I certainly couldn’t argue that the Dems are not seeking power.
When I said forgive and forget I meant within the party. The whole forgive and forget mantra doesn’t seem to translate toward to the republican party. Again I think many in the black community at least feel that the republican party has taken a rather acrimonious tone toward the community. I think this more than anything keeps blacks from registering as republicans.
As I stated in a previous comment the Dems certainly have a problem with racism, but it is for the most part something that is either tolerated or worked out amongst Dems. For sure the party is not guiltless when it comes to racism as some would suggest. As you say some place the entire burden of race on the republican party. I think this is demonstrably unfair.
“And those that do not understand this, who cannot see this beyond their own thirst for party power, and those who vote to perpetuate this status quo against our freedoms are simply a continuation of the problem.”
I don’t think a one party system is the solution as you seem to suggest. (I may be wrong here and I’m sure you will let me know if I am)
democrats, so much crap piled up in one place. and they said it couldn’t be done.
Stuck on stupid, empty suit, pick your cliche, it doesn’t matter… Go back to MINISTER OF PROPAGANDA for HITLER… “If you repeat a lie enough, it becomes the truth”. The DEMS think GOEBELLS had something there.. How else could you explain MINORITIES so entrenched in DEM philosophy??? No one in the history of AMERICA has done more to keep MINORITIES in the LOWER CLASSES than the DEMOCRAT PARTY… Yet these people flock to their causes in DROVES… The only way DEMS can survive is to keep the MINORITIES down, and believing… The worst thing for DEMS is a MINORITY, any one of them, finally realizes that there is OPPORTUNITY out there in this COUNTRY, and all you have to do is cast aside the YOLK OF VICTIM to SUCCEED… But alas, it is much easier for many to wear the MANTLE OF VICTIM than to participate as a WINNER in this WORLD… Sad, so sad…

I am aware of this.
Think of it like an emotionally abused woman who has been convinced by her husband that she is worthless and couldn’t get along without him. She is so beaten down that though she is not thriving in the relationship, she cannot see herself moving away from and beyond it. This inertia can only be overcome when she finally realizes her potential and value.

First of all, so true so true.
I still think some blacks vote dem for very real reasons outside of feeling like victims and or expecting handouts. That said I would love to see the black vote more dispersed among the two parties instead of 90% for one party. The thing is I think it takes some work on the part of blacks and some work on the part of the republican party. I think hawkeye54, has it right in his comments above.
The problem of course is that nothing is done to change the minds of folks in general about the misperception that the Republicans are white guys and to be given a the best chance at equality you need to vote Democrat. On many levels the selling of the Democratic Party as the party for the common people, working people, the “little” people, is left unchallenged and so the misperception grows instead of shrinks.
Forget about race what about money? The “sense” out there is rich folks are Republicans and poor folks are Democrats. So if you want to get even with those rich folks for taking your money away from you, vote Democrat. And does any mass media challenge that baloney? Does any one point out how many rich folks are Democrats? Rich politicians Democrats? Of course not.
Does anyone really think any mass media outlet is going to challenge Dean’s racist comment?
Is this a rationalization for the racist and sexist comment of Dr Dean? Or, is this an attempt to change the argument?
Focus, my friend. The discussion is on the false assertion that Dr Dean made stating the Democrat party has been and is currently better for minorities than the Republican party. An assertion that is not supported by any past or current history. And yet, they manage to lie to people enough, and misrepresent the truth enough, that they maintain elect-ability and power.
An assertion that will be supported by the MSM, who will not only fail to point out the factual errors, but will repeat the lie ad nauseum as if it were the most blessed this ever stated by the human race. For surely, the divine words from the always truthful and blameless Democrat party are never to be questioned. (BTW, this was a favorite tactic used by the Bolsheviks in the early period of their rise to power, prior to them just shooting dissidents)
If you believe that this means a one party system, then you are correct. It worked in deposing the Tsars, right? But to place that assertion on my comments is just ridiculous.
There are plenty of parties out there, and we have seen more than one shift in party power in American history. We may only hear about two; more specifically, we only hear how blessed one party is, and how evil the other is from our “balanced media”. The propaganda support by the MSM for maintaining a two(one) party system does not support you statement, and detracts from the discussion on Dr Dean’s racist party.
Well said Christian Soldier. Went to video of Kobe Bryant interview and this man truly loves his country and recognizes its greatness. CC remined me of the simpy, slitherly look of John Edwards–just made it to the barf bag in time.
I’ll offer an apology to you CRASHEMT, I stated what I thought I understood about your comment which is why I used the word seem instead of making an assumption about your intent.
If one believes in the ideal of “Punitive Liberalism,” then it is no longer possible to achieve absolution for ones sins just by being a member of the democrat party. No, it is not enough to think right and vote right. One must eagerly seek out every way on can to punish America and its citizens for their crimes against humanity and the earth. If you can do that by devoting your whole life to the Party of Salvation (yes, POS), you will transcend all possible issues and charges of racism, global warming, war-making, etc. The lives and property of everyone around you are at your whim. Not only cannot you be accused of racism in any way, shape, or form, but it is understood your SUV emits rainbows and kittens, and you very presence heals the planet. Verify, it is as if you inhale CO2 and emit pure oxygen. And the whole of the world’s peoples will bow before you in harmonious servitude.
I wish I were kidding.
My husband and I were just talking about this the other night. I had just finished reading a book, “Love and Konsequences” by a woman raised in South Central L.A.. One of things I always questioned about this kind of life was why don’t they leave, or work to improve their neighborhoods? This book cleared some of that up for me and showed me how these poor people are somewhat like the slaves in the south after they were freed.
Most didn’t know what to do or where to go. They were incapable of seeing their lives beyond the security of the plantations upon which they were born, so they stayed as share croppers or cheap labor. This type of mental slavery was as binding as the laws which kept them there as slaves.
The Republican party must keep touting the other side of liberty; success, self determination and self respect. Many successful black Americans are showing them the way, but it is an arduous journey and frightening in a way. Similar to the child becoming an adult. While they want the perks of autonomy, they are afraid of the responsibilities.
lets look at Democratic history:
1) Enslave blacks
2) Fight a war to continue enslaving blacks
3) KKK to prevent blacks from owning property
4) Jim Crow to degrade and oppress blacks
5) Welfare to keep blacks out of jobs, ok this is only MY opinion
6) Shapton, Jackson, Wright and others to oppress blacks
7) Should we consider other races also?
Lets also remember: when socialists point a figure they:
1) Have done it
2) Are doing it
3) Intend to do it soon
(see bushes secret draft plan http://www.congressenalreports.gov/democrate/bills)
Exactly!
Review Bill Cosby’s attempt to tour the nation to explain to inner city blacks how to get out of welfare system.
Sometimes real life is just incredibly funny. Love the post

Judge a man by the content of his character not the color of his skin. They care nothing for character only color.
In that video, when Dean’s scream and “speech” are played backwards, doesn’t he sound like…
…a Russian Communist?
Totally unintentional on his part.
But, in all seriousness, someone please explain to me…
How Is the Democrat[ic Socialist] Party Different From the Communist Party?
Rating – Home run!
(See #64 under Trump bails out Ed)
Dean is a mentally unstable liar, but he’s also a rich, lib-elitist, white guy…perfect for the DNC Chair position. And, when he gets done with it, there are plenty more where he came from…J F’n K, Silky Pony Edwards, algore, alfranken, et al. Don’t count on there being any “diversity” at the top of the “ruling class” of the dhimmicrat party anytime soon. “Stretch” Pelosi’s just a “token.”
Differing Views on Racism:
(Reagan & MLK) vs. Obama
It’s so frustrating to be accused of not allowing minorities to be successful in the Republican party when every time a Black, Asian, Hispanic, etc. person tries to run as a Republican they get gutted by the Democrats and the MSM.
Their accomplishments are ignored and they are cast aside, judged by the color of their skin rather than the content of their characters.
Case in point: Condoleeza Rice. Everyone keeps talking about how Obama is making history, but no one has ever given this brilliant woman the credit for breaking more than one “glass ceiling,” being a historical figure herself. She is the highest ranking Black woman this country has ever seen, and she is reduced to mere garbage by the so-called diverse Democrats and MSM.
It is sad and pathetic.
LOL its not just the color-worse yet, she is a freedom fighter!
What’s shocking to me is seeing in your article a Sen Pelosi’s “HS picture” which must have been substituted for a current photo, plus a photo of Sen Reid with what could be mistaken for a “smile” instead of his perennial “scowl”! The photographer is a genius for that “touch-up” job on Reid’s pic! Also, the photographer probably gave up trying to “touch-up” Pelosi’s – getting lifted eyebrows off someone’s forehead has to be impossible! HUMMMM, did I read something about Demwits and Diversity and H.Dean?? Oh, yes I did! Anyone who knows anything political knows that Demwits are just plain ignorant of American History’s “true” account of the work of Republicans to extend the tenets of equality to the poor, blacks, women, and children. After the Civil War, most southern states had a majority of Republican state leaders who were Black. For more TRUTH, check-out David Barton’s website”www.Wallbuilders.com. As for Dean, someone buy some duck tape!! jb
A one liner expressed Howard Dean tactics…
Desperate and stupid.
Hey,
It’s really funny that all the dem leadership is whitey! DOH!
Howard Dean is such a retard. Members of his own party even know that. But since he can be bought by special interest groups that support gays, illegal aliens, and even countries other than the United States his cause must be greater than everyone else’s right?
Oh yeah get back to the topic. Well it seems to me that since Howard Dean is compelled to point his finger at the Republican Party as racist that they have some big time house cleaning to do among their own ranks. Talk about whitey. C.mon Howie…
Well Doctor Dean and other party leaders have been seen sporting headscarves, the democrat party has had an imam lead them all in prayer. So once they realize there are many more muslims voting democrat than homosexuals or feminists how long do you think it will take for those two groups to be tossed under the bus? Howard really shouldn’t talk, the first colored man to be treated seriously by them as a candidate turns out to be only half colored. The message to Jesse and the rest, that ain’t goodnough, 100 percent just won’t do, wouldn’t be prudent. Shameful but predictable, if I were Jesse or Al I’d be real angry, boiling mad. No matter which way you slice it this democrat pajama party ends ugly.
Have you ever noticed that most of us have abilty to spot a lib?… Ok,Ok maybe not all the time!… Let them speak for about a minute. You just feel sorry for them….How did they get so misguided???? You know in your heart that you should get them an ice pack for that big bump they have on their head, but you are having too much fun pi$$ing yourself, laughing at the point they are trying to make!…….
P.S. For those of you that need an example, refer to Howard Dean!!!
Dean exemplifies the old saying, “what do you call the guy who finished last in his medical school class?”
ans: DOCTOR
These liberals are so shameless and adept in their obfuscations and outright LIES that there is nothing anyone can say to shame them.
HERE’s The GOP List
HOUSE CAUCUS
It seems that no party is as diverse as Dean CLAIMS his Dem party is but unlike the Dems. the GOP does not play the race card at every opportunity.
Howard Dean needs to slither back under the rock he came from. He always has to say something stupid to get into the headlines, otherwise he’s a useless tool that no one cares about.
