Senator Harry Reid admits Howard Dean was not his first choice to be the new chairman of the national Democratic Party.

And he says he told the Vermont governor so much. But the Nevada Democrat told reporters in Reno Wednesday he's impressed with how Dean has, "taken the darts that were thrown at him" during the primary election.

Reid says Dean has proven himself to be a great political organizers who will help win Democrats seats in Congress in the 2006 election.

1. OK, I'll consider that there may be a god.

[Skink]

4. Now we need Reid to keep up the fight......

So far so good.

[buddysmellgood]

2. Thanks for providing everyone with a new tag line Harry. Sheesh.

[Kolesar]

8. yeah, really. Keep the media image going

[NYCGirl]

3. I appreciate his support, but Reid's framing really sucks. NT

[Logansquare]

12. Yes, you never use negatives in the same sentence

with the name of a person you're praising. That's exactly the kind of thing the stenographers will write down and print.

[Cha]

17. I was thinking when I first read that..

"why is it okay to call anyone "some wild-eyed, left-wing nut"?

What do the rw zealots get called in the fascist press?

[FlemingsGhost]

5. I'm curious ... What was Reid's reaction to "The Dean Scream?"

:shrug:

[MAlibdem]

6. Well, that's a compliment indeed. /sarcasm nt

[Canuckistanian]

7. Listen for sound bites with the "not" edited out

Hannity, Limbaugh, Ingraham, start your sound editors!

[DeaconBlues]

9. These people have to stop playing defense

How many times have you heard a Republican say "he's not some right-wing bible-thumping reactionary" when describing one of their own? Stop using the labels of the enemy, Reid!

[blm]

10. It was the MEDIA who painted Dean as a far-leftwinger during the primaries

Noone who studied his actual governance in Vermont swallowed the media's perception.

Funny thing is that it is the MEDIA who is supposed to inform the voters. Today's media only MISinforms voters.

11. Isn't this the framing we're all talking about?

You can't use their words and just put "not" in front because no one hears the negative.

Makes me wonder if it was deliberate . . .

[glitch]

13. Does anybody actually know any wild-eyed, left-wing nuts? nt

[Eloriel]

14. Yeah. Anyone who's not DLC, according to the DLC. n/t

[glitch]

15. Yeah, but anybody who is reality-based? Wild-eyes is a RW trait.

Along with bulging temple veins and spittle.

[Rose Siding]

16. Whew! Thank God he's not one of "them", right Harry?

Why does the minority leader think it's a good idea to alienate a slice of his minority?

[Justitia]

18. and Reid is not some "mamby-pamby, wishy-washy, pasty patsy,

spineless, gutless, wimpy, pink tutu democrat, dammit!"

Egads. Thanks for nothing, Harry. :dunce:

[tom_paine]

19. Jesus, Harry, ever hear of framing?

God damn, if our leaders aren't totally fucking clueless about the whys of the Coming Totalitarian Darkness.

Yeah, who the hell would want to be a Far Left nut like Mother Theresa, Frederick Douglass, and Martin Luther King?

How can there be any hope when, even at this late date, the Democrats still dont understand framing and how it has been used against us.

[Warren Stupidity]

20. I've heard that Reid

is not some sort of filthy pederast.

What an asshole.
