In reply to the discussion: Howard Dean Does The Unthinkable. Explains That Bears Actually DO S#!t In The Woods. [View all]DFW
(54,410 posts)It drives the radical right bonkers, especially when he separates reactionaries from conservatives, as I do. Howard was called a crackpot by the whole right wing propaganda machine in 2003-2004, so he knows that script by heart.
Now that more of the public realizes that it's not he who was the crackpot, but the Cheney White House and its sycophantic fan club, he is much freer to call them that right back to their faces. Did Scarborough expect him to be timid or something? Howard isn't running for anything, and he isn't looking for his own show on Fox Noise, so what reason do they think he could possibly have to call them anything other than what they are? Just because hardly anyone else dares to? Whoever thinks that doesn't know Howard.
The only thing that surprises me is that the radical right even bothers to act surprised when Howard accurately describes them. What, Republicans don't own mirrors?
