Time to Play ‘Stump Howard Dean’

By Doug Powers  •  July 25, 2010 08:19 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

Howard “Yeearrrgh!” Dean was on Fox News this morning with Chris Wallace discussing the Shirley Sherrod thing, and Dean reiterated simple truths such as the sun rises in the east, kids shouldn’t run with scissors and that Fox News is racist.

Wallace asked Dean if he was aware that the Sherrod video did not air on Fox News until after the Obama administration had already crapcanned Sherrod. Dean stumbled after the question because it looks like he temporarily forgot he wasn’t being interviewed by CNN, but the answer of course is irrelevant to Howard and the talking points he’s peddling.

Dean went on to say that the White House over-reacted because they were afraid Sherrod “was about to go on Glenn Beck.” Now there’s a non media-driven administration for you.

Gingrich scored with this: “If the Obama administration is this afraid of Fox News, how do they deal with the Iranians?”

It kind of makes you wonder what Ahmadinejad could have coerced the Obama administration into doing if he had a certain video (as “out of context” as it may be) and was threatening to leak it to Glenn Beck — but why get bogged down by the larger, more important picture when you’ve got Republicans to beat in November?

Allahpundit at Hot Air adds…

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.

    Is “stump” the newest slang for “teabag”? It was cool to see Dean get stumped or teabagged by the Newt.

    I am not sure who they are playing to anymore. They have run the word “racist” into the ground, and it really means absolutely nothing to most people at this point. Yet they play it like it’s some sort of trump card.

    I have been hard at times on Newt, but d@@@@ I have got to give him kudos for that shot to Howard Dean’s midsection.

    That was a 10.5 on a scale of 10.

    Out of curiosity, what is the short list of things that are not racist? I’m fairly certain that birds chirping in the morning is racist along with the fact that Pluto is no longer a planet and that we use ink of color on white paper. So don’t use those items in composing the short list.

    Note: Trolls could be of help here.

    The things you may agree with Obama on are because he is white. The things you disagree with him on are because he is black.

    Either way you are a racist, so just relax and enjoy the vitriol.

    Funny, I prefer Carville. He’s so crazy – kind of like the looney uncle that shows up at the family picnic babbling about aliens, and you make sure his burger is cooked properly and has a ride home to the home later.

    Dean on the other hand is a bozo.

    I can’t believe the man was a doctor. Doctors normally recognize a cancer when they see it, and don’t act as though it’s just a little boo-boo to be ignored.

    I also can’t believe he referred to himself as a “progressive,” but that does explain alot of his drivel….

    Has anyone else noticed that the self-described progressives are holding themselves apart from the “normal” Democrats? I hadn’t noticed it before this weekend, and it started with Al Farce-man, er, Franken.

    Race Hustlers, welfare kings/queens, Union Goons, and anybody who is sucking on the Government teat don’t need to be told that Fox news and Republicans are racist. To them they are racists.

    To the conservatives, the cries of racism is just annoyance. The charges of racism have lost its sharp edges and is not so effective anymore.

    Moderates and independents don’t buy baloney from either side: they observe and analyze the charges of racism, its context, and then form their own informed opinion. They are not buying the Liberal crap this time.

    The proof? Check the polls! The messiah with mesmerizing wordplay is trying to sell his crap, and the media is doing all it can to carry the waters for the Libs. And the polls are still not moving in their direction.

    It was very good and very direct and had so much true common sense in it that it would make a liberal go insane.

    Cedra Crenshaw defeated the Chicago Democrat machine and won her rightful spot on the ballot this November. Voters in Illinois’ 43rd Senate District will now get a choice, not a coronation. A white Democrat election board threw her off the ballot and a judge restored her. Through it all, the NAACP was AWOL.

    Why was the NAACP AWOL?

    Because Cedra Crenshaw is a black Republican.

    Cedra Crenshaw is the Republican candidate for Illinois State Senate in the 43rd District. She is a wife, stay at home mother, education reformer, and professional accountant. The trifecta of marriage, mortgage, and motherhood catapulted her into the independent thinker that she is today. Cedra is a fresh face with bold ideas who has one objective: good government.

    She’s a “mama grizzly”.

    You go, girl!

    Fox News DID mishandle that video clip, whether it was before or after Sherrod got wrongfully terminated by Vilsack. There was plenty to criticize in what Sherrod actually DID say and what she DID mean (must. capitalize. each. “DID”. ha ha). She injected race into the contemporary discussion of the public’s reaction to a “black president”. She referred to the “white lawyer” as being the same “kind” as the farmer.
    These things provide some instruction at least as to any pressure Sherrod felt in front of her NAACP audience to play race politics. My sense after seeing her interviewed several times is that she’s a nice lady.
    Back to the point of Doug’s post, of course, Howard Dean DID look like a total a$$ this morning.

    The other day the NOW stated Sarah Palin cold never be a feminist, becasue she was not Progressive.

    Crenshaw is not “black’ in the eyes of the NAACP for the same reason. Also, if we vote for a black how can we be racists. It could destroy their template.

    Watching Dean squirm when the facts were presented by Wallace was as good as watching the evening sunset on a clear night at sea. Howard and the Dems have not yet fully realized the sun is setting on thier nightmare of hope and change. Now we learn the Obama administration was aware of the Libyan terrorist release for oil deal and most likely gave it’s approval. The morons are circling the wagons and preying (not a mis-spelling) on the rest of us.
