Dean - Nader Debate (Funny Moment)

[Meldread]

Sorry, this might have already been posted, but I'm just now getting around to seeing the Dean - Nader Debate and I am reading the Transcript. I found this exchange kinda funny:


DEAN: I will urge him to do that if you will give back the 10 percent of your $1,000 contributions that came from people like Richard Egan, the ambassador to Ireland appointed by George Bush, because you should not be taking that money.

NADER: I wasn't aware that he was a corporate criminal. He's an American citizen who might be -- is a Republican, just happens to believe in civil liberties maybe. I don't even know the man.

ADLER: Well, let's go on at this point.

NADER: But Republicans are human beings, too.

(APPLAUSE)

DEAN: Right-wingers may not be.




I'm not able to see the video because I'm on dial-up and have trouble. (Yeah, I know, I live out in the boonies.) However, can someone tell me if Dean, in this exchange, is saying Right-wingers might not be human? I'm just wondering about context as it's some what hard to tell when reading just text. (And if so... Goooo Howard! :P)
