I apologize for making an inappropriate statement about the confederate

[phirili]

while referring to Southern voters.

Thank you.

The above apology is still needed from Dean. If he continues to dodge, it will be to his peril.

Dean Regrets Pain of Confederate Flag Remark

NASHUA, N.H. -- Howard Dean said Wednesday he regretted the pain he caused by saying that the Democratic Party must court Southerners who display the symbol of the Confederacy in their pickup trucks.

Speaking in New York about campaign finance, the former Vermont governor sought to quell the dispute that erupted over his recent comment and his unwillingness to apologize for it during Tuesday night's debate.

"I regret the pain that I have caused, but I will tell you there is no easy way to do this and there will be pain as we discuss it and we must face this together hand in hand as Dr. (Martin Luther) King and Abraham Lincoln asked us to do," Dean said.

2. I read where he said....

that Southerners need to quit voting based on God, guns, race and gays. Is this true? Has he lost his mind? If he really said this he just wrote of the south.

instead of continuing the pile on.

it's not like Kerry or Edwards or Clark said it. So just drop it.
