CBS already working to defeat Howard Dean

[cali]

and all he did was say he wouldn't rule out running.

holy shit. look at this and look at the pic:

Don't scream. Or it could ruin Howard Dean's chances of running for president in 2016.

Dean's now-infamous howl at the Iowa caucuses was blamed in part for the demise of his 2004 presidential campaign. But nearly a decade later, the former Vermont governor and DNC chair is teasing the possibility that he could reenter the presidential campaign scene in 2016.

"You should never say never in this business," Dean told CNN on Thursday at the liberal Netroots Nations conference.

1. That was a setup from the scum sucking worthless msm in this country

which is why I don't watch their useless garbage. Reading , and if I watch news it is through Bloomberg which at least tries to give all positions

[Puglover]

3. It was.

The fuckers edited out the crowd noise and broadcasted his scream solo.

Exactly right. Useless garbage.

[XemaSab]

21. I was there

and this is 100% correct.

[ProSense]

2. If Dean wins the nomination and gets elected

at least he'll have an FBI director he believes is "principled": http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022927987

4. yes, that's germane to the op.

why would I ever expect you to respond to the subject at hand?

oh, that's right, I wouldn't.

now don't you have a link to post and an alert to send, Pro?

[ProSense]

5. It's about Dean 2016, and an observation.

"now don't you have a link to post and an alert to send, Pro?"

Since you brought it up, are you talking about this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=152034&sub=trans

No, I don't have an "alert to send."

[msongs]

6. watch out you may be tag teamed here lol nt

[dkf]

8. You may or may not agree with Howard but he tells it as he sees it.

[ProSense]

10. Do you agree with him on that point? n/t

[cali]

11. do you have anything in your little repertoire beside

self-referential links and "gotcha" questions?

that was rhetorical. I know you don't.

[ProSense]

14. Um,

"do you have anything in your little repertoire beside self-referential links and "gotcha" questions?"

....

[dkf]

12. As far as I'm concerned anyone who treats the fourth the way this crew has been is on the wrong path

That's probably an indictment of all three branches of government and many of our federal agencies. It's depressing.

I would trust Howard to be much more up front and at least attempt to make the case before he gets caught. I respect that.

7. Our bought-out-and-paid-for Corporate Media will help assure that anyone from the 99% is sunk.

We're all Germans now

[cali]

15. Howard may be for the 99% but he's not from it, that's for sure

he comes from a very privileged background

Dean was born in East Hampton, New York, to Howard Brush Dean, Jr. and Andrée Belden (née Maitland), an art appraiser.[7] He is the oldest of their four children, all boys.[7]

Howard's father worked at the stock brokerage firm of Dean Witter. The family was quite wealthy, Republican, and belonged to the exclusive Maidstone Golf Club in East Hampton. As a child he spent much of his time growing up in East Hampton; the family built a house on Hook Pond[8] there in the mid-1950s. There the boys– Howard, Charlie, Jim and Bill– "rode bikes, played with a model train set, [and] built elaborate underground forts." While in New York, the family had a three-bedroom apartment on the Upper East Side part of Park Avenue, where Dean still sometimes stays.[7]

Howard attended the Browning School in Manhattan until he was 13, and then went to St. George's School, a preparatory school in Middletown, Rhode Island.[9] In September 1966, he attended Felsted School, UK, for one school year after winning an English Speaking Union scholarship.[10]

16. He would have historical predecessors with even more privileged backgrounds...

namely, three brothers: JFK, RFK, and EMK (Ted Kennedy). The one media pundit (if you could call him that) always determined to make that an issue was el rushbo. Unless I've missed something, it was probably the same with John Kerry.

That said, I don't see how that part of Dean's upbringing is relevant to Dems and Progressives regarding his possible candidacy. His opponents will use every possible thing they can think of to use against him, including that. It would be a flimsy reason for anyone on our side to not consider him, but no matter whether he's part of the 1% or the 99%, if he's in any way a threat to today's Robber Baron Class, they (including CBS) will, of course, go after him.

I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know!

[LongTomH]

18. You forgot FDR! He's still considered a 'class traitor' by the elite!

[We People]

20. You're right, I did forget!

No wonder they still foam at the mouth about him, and still live to destroy his legacy (and millions of lives along with it)...

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. It's amazing

The nonsensical things that bring some candidates for public office down. And what people tolerate out of others- and keep voting for (Louie Gohmert being a case in point)

[DCBob]

13. I dont think the scream thing will have any effect this time around.

Its just "fun" news that gets eyeballs. I think Howard could win this thing if he is serious.

[Triana]

17. The biggest " F*ck You" to the corprat media would be us electing him....

...in spite of them and their Goebbels propaganda.

Never say never...

[MelungeonWoman]

19. Aside from the headline,

This is the most cheerful piece of news I've seen on the political front in months. At this point, I'll take the small victories. K&R.
