24. Dean has done absolutely several foolish things
Edited on Wed Nov-05-03 01:04 PM by Nicholas_J
First he uses the most divisive symbol in American History in discussing gaining voters for the democratic party, you know those people with confederate flag stickers on their "TRUCKS"

and then this not being enough, he decides to go further and link this with one of the most objectionable stereotypes of white southerners...

POOR WHITE SOUTHERNERS.

He might as well have just used the words poor white trash, or stated he would like to attract guys named "Bubba" or "Billy Bob"

Dean visited my city yesterday, and all the news did was discuss the fact that he was here, to raise money and the confederate flag statement. NOTHING ELSE.

Southern political consultants got more time discussing what a mistake it was, than Dean got.

There are lots very rich well educated southerners with those bumpers stickers on their 38 mile per gallon SUV's on whom the Deans sterotype was not lost.

And many southern blacks in this city are NOT very happy about it.


We had a major murder and discovery of a disimembered body in this area yesterday as well, and one news-station, put up a a picture of Dean but accidentally used the tape needed for the section on the murder which began..."a gruesome event has occured today..."

"HOWARD DEAN... Dividing American Voters ONE SPEECH AT A TIME"


The iron was TOO thick.
