What a scumbag! This just proves that there has hardly been a political party more spineless, more opportunistic, more cowardly than the Democratic party. Because, of course, if you criticise Israel you must by extension hate all Jews. And also, Iraqis are only worth spending money on if they elect a prime minister which completely follows the US line on everything.

Dean is one of the reasons why I don't follow American politics anymore...same shit, different face. There's no difference at all between democrats and republicans...they're all fucking dogs in my book.

I've always wondered how a rich white man in Washington can be considered liberal...

There's a Chomsky lecture somewhere about the U.S. really being a one party state, with two opposing sides, who constantly do things and undo the others... Of course thats the way it is in any bourgeois government.

Apparently, its more than just Dean...
Senate minority leader Harry Reid, Senator Charles Schumer, and the majority of the Democratic party has condemned al-Maliki for denouncing Israeli aggression
I think this speaks plenty about the Democratic party as a whole

They even went as far as:


Nearly 50 House Democrats signed a letter expressing their feelings to President Bush, and three senators, including Schumer, launched a similar effort in the upper chamber by writing a letter to al-Maliki.

:lol:

The "democracy" of the United States is like that: two parties with different rethoric. The people of the US would never agree on one leader - literally a one party state, thus anyone with the brains to control the US would not disband the two parties that are already in place, but use them as a smokescreen.

It's painfully sad that in the world's most powerful country that the populace has essentially zero control over the government.

what i think is great is the context of his speech. if i recall correctly, he said a bunch of genuinely progressive things in his talk to business leaders before he got to what was the most clouded and fucked up antiwar statement from a Democrat in a while. i mean, its almost like a game: take the statement and find out how many things were wrong with it


"The Iraqi prime minister is an anti-Semite," the Democratic leader told a gathering of business leaders in Florida. "We don't need to spend 200 and 300 and $500 billion bringing democracy to Iraq to turn it over to people who believe that Israel doesn't have a right to defend itself and who refuse to condemn Hizbullah."

lets see, i count at least nine, depending on the criteria for errors.

i used to know some people who were all about this Dean progressivism myth. i really hope some of them have some sense and have second thoughts about him after seeing this statement

How sweet...Howard Dean actually separated his mouth from Jerry Falwell's asshole for about 5 seconds to say something stupid.
