Reply #36: Have you heard any DEMOCRATS saying that? I haven't. [View All]

It is just spin from the Dean campaign that some journalists have taken up as far as I know.

Does anyone know of any instance where one of the candidates "told us the former Vermont governor was a reincarnation of George McGovern, a scary, antiwar liberal" (http://www.sptimes.com/2003/09/28/Columns/Attacks_on_Dean_may_l.shtml)

Which one of Dean's opponents said that? When? Where?


This supposed 'attack' on Dean is actually a backhanded effort by the Dean campaign as far as I can tell. It's the one charge they want to have to keep denying -- because, first of all, it is not true, and second, to have to keep replying to it makes it seem as if Dean DOES actually share some of McGovern's liberal credentials -- but the facts show otherwise.
