Reply #56: Oh now that's just pathetic, funk.... [View All]

[TLM]

You said, "There's even an article in Salon where he talks about leading-on pacifists as part of "the game."

So where is Dean talking about leading on pacifists? You quote an advisor of one of Dean's opponents trying to claim Dean is inconsistent, pushing the BS idea that all Dean supporters are really hardcore anti-war folks who have been duped into thinking Dean is really anti-all war ever for any reason. The truth is that the real true anti-all war types went to Kucinich… Dean has the moderate folks who are anti-unjust wars and who want someone who would use war to defend this nation, but only justly and honestly.


"Dean is stirring up antiwar people," a senior advisor to one of his Democratic opponents says. "They are against all war, not just against war without U.N. support. When we do go to war, and Dean says he's with our troops and president in time of national crisis, the antiwar activists he's cultivated will turn on him quickly."



Then the Dean quote is about the attempt by his opponents to find some inconsistency where there is none... and THAT's what he says is part of the game, the fact people are madly trying to find some dirt on Dean. And your dishonest attempt to misrepresent that as Dean saying that “leading-on pacifists” is part of “the game.” I’m glad I called you on this, because this is easily one of the most disgusting and desperate misrepresentations I have seen from the bashers yet.

How insulting to DU readers that you think that we are so ignorant as to fall for this.

Dean says that's fine, and denies that there's any inconsistency. "I think people are madly trying to find one," he says. "It's part of the game."


Jesus f-ing christ how low will you people sink into the depths of blatant dishonesty to attack this man?
