Wouldja like a good laugh?
Remember a couple of days ago when I posted a few remarks made by Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean? I even supplied you all with an MP3 recording of his actual remarks so you could judge for yourself how bigoted and intolerent Dean, as official spokeman of the liberal-left party in America, was or was not? (As Fox News Channel says, “We report, you decide!”—but the dems don’t like that mantra!)
Here comes the liberal-left obfuscation express! Sounds just like Canada!
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.
“The right wing has got the agenda moving. Fox [News Channel] and everybody’s got the agenda. It’s all about Howard Dean. You’ve bought into it,” Mr. Durbin said.
“You can’t let up on it. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves.”
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.
“As all of you know, there isn’t a single person, whether it’s any of us in this room or Governor Dean or [Republican National Committee chairman Ken] Mehlman, that haven’t misspoken,” Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, said at a photo opportunity with Mr. Dean in his Senate office before that meeting.
“We’re here today to talk about the American people,” he said. “We’re talking about common-sense reforms for the issues that they care about.”
Mr. Dean echoed both Mr. Reid’s and Mr. Durbin’s complaints, telling reporters before the meeting: “We’re not going to let the Republicans set the agenda, and to be quite honest, we aren’t going to let you set the agenda.”
